An Autumn Day at The MDC Casa

Good Morning all. I apologize for the late start to the work week. This is a busy time of the year for me! Halloween, Diwali and my daughter's birthday....its all coming up.... and I am trying to juggle multiple things! My calender is full, and sometimes a quick tea break at home is all I need to get recharged :) 

 Despite the madness that surrounds me, a few quiet moments with my camera always relaxes me! A few days ago the autumn light filtered into my living room. The play of light and shadow, and the golden glow was hard to capture through my camera lens, but I did try. Here are a few quiet moments from home on that fine Autumn Day! In the words of John Donne, the famous literary poet "No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face." 

 Here's wishing you a beautiful week ahead!

Memories, Decor and A Discussion

I am back again today with a question for all my readers today! How do you weave your memories into your decor? At the MDC Casa, my decor is extremely personal, it conforms to no rules and follows only my heart :) What about you? What is your secret mantra to make your home personal? 

 I have always wanted my home to speak of my personal style. I literally spell it out :) I weave a story by creating a "heritage display" at home. I collect old photographs and letters of my family and display them around my home. I have diligently been rummaging through closets and albums in my parents' home in Delhi. As a result, I have managed to bring back some lovely photographs to Seattle! You can imagine my excitement when the pictures go up on a wall or find that perfect corner to call home:)

 Yesterday, I came across these vintage style frames which seem perfect for the black and white photographs. The first image is personal favorite. The little girl is my mom :) The picture was taken by my grandfather half a century ago. My Grandfather was a brilliant photographer. At that time....years ago, he had a darkroom in his home where he developed his own prints. I adore this picture as my daughter shares a remarkable resemblance to my mom in this photograph :)

Today, join me in a discussion and lets come up with creative ideas on how to weave memories into decor??? I shall await your thoughts eagerly :)
