I am pretty confident that most of the readers of MDC love tea and Coffee :) I am, of course a tea addict! I have been having a blast hunting down antiques and flea market finds for my little online boutique. Thank you all for making this happen:) 

 Today, I have two lovely finds to share with you! A flea market find, this is a beautifully framed Coffee sign perfect for your kitchen or breakfast nook! Find it here.


Another treasure is this lovely antique brass strainer. This piece is beautifully carved with a European design. I wish I had more history to share with you!

A Charming Home in The Heart of Delhi


There are some homes where the pictures say it all. This home is certainly one of them. I first mentioned this house in a post two years ago. The home belongs to Nishi Bahadur and her family They are family friends and have known my parents for decades! "Nishi mami" as I call her, is an elegant and charming lady and her home reflects her personality!

The layout of the house to me is reminiscent of  an old "haveli". It is hard to imagine that  this oasis is in the middle of South Delhi. I was floored by the architecture especially the "aangan" (verandah) that the living room opens out to. My mom has told me how stunning the place looks when they host a Diwali party and the room is filled with twinkling candles! Sigh...

This is a house filled with family heirlooms. Curios, paintings and one of a kind artifacts  add elegance and warmth to the space! Every corner looks classy and radiates with old world charm!

Step into this home and prepare to be mesmerized just the way I was! Thank you Nishi mami for sharing your home with my readers :)

Here are just a few pictures I took of the home two years ago. It was evening, so I could only manage a few!

Enjoy....



My favorite part of the house, the lovely  aangan"

Poufs in Decor

Are you a big fan of Poufs? Honestly, I have always had mixed feelings about it! I am never sure how they would look or how comfortable they are! Recently, I had to spend quite a bit of time hunting down poufs for a design project. My clients have a lovely lakefront home and their living room has lovely French windows. Poufs seemed to be a good option for the space. The pouf would not block the view and also provide additional seating. I have to admit, I quite enjoyed the process of hunting down poufs and ottomans for the project. We still have not found the perfect one... but it has certainly made me see Poufs in a new light:) 

 These images of a fellow blogger's home has made me fall in love with poufs. She has done a wonderful job of decorating her small space! I had to share it with you as it is the perfect inspiration for a boho chic space. These kilim poufs make quite a statement, don't you think?

 So what are your views on Poufs?
