My Dream Canvas: Neha's " My Curated Home"

This year is whizzing by. I cant believe its November and Diwali is a few days away. This pandemic has lasted longer than all of us could ever have imagined. Our homes were always special but this year it has meant even more. Today, I am thrilled to share a lovely home in Texas. Neha Animesh lives in Dallas with her family. Neha's Instagram is filled with delightful corners of her home. "My Curated Home" as she likes to call it, is truly a thoughtfully created and well put together home. I am particularly drawn to how, she mixes various design elements and yet manages to give it such a cohesive look. The home looks warm and clutter free with an eclectic vibe. Fresh flowers and lots of house plants add to the charm :)

I asked Neha to describe her home in her own words....

"I grew up in northern India- UP and Delhi, and spent my college days in Mumbai and Goa. I moved to the US in 2003 and now this is Home. My day job is in IT but I am a creator by heart and by passion. I love everything handmade. If there’s anything that I think I can make, I will definitely give it a try. I love to paint, almost all the artwork in my home is made by yours truly, except the Ganesha painting which was a house warming gift from my aunt. My decorating mantra follows no particular style. It has evolved a lot and continues to evolve, and I believe that’s how it should be. One’s home should grow with you. My Mom had a passion for gardening and I’ve inherited that love from her. My decor is incomplete without plants and flowers. My other love reflected in my home is travel, which I inherited from my Dad. Growing up we traveled extensively as he loved to travel. I love exploring new places and cultures and bringing a part of them back home as memories. I have a deep love for Indian textiles and Indian arts and crafts. The myriad of colors and textures that they add to any space is unmatched. I have always loved color in my home, but I see myself gravitating to more clean lines and neutrals lately. I add pops of color to add interest. I do enjoy decorating for the seasons and love to switch the colors in and out based on the time of the year.

Making a house a home is a process. One, where you curate your space over time with all the things that you love and have a meaning in your life. Where, every time you sit back and look at something, it brings back a memory and a smile on your face"

Thanks Neha for inviting us into your haven. Here is a lovely collection of images from her home.....
