Most of my introductions about people I know usually starts off with how long I have known them. I am tempted to tell you my history with Bhuvi and how long I have known her and everything I know about her. She is a super creative person and I have seen the creativity evolve over a decade. She is a fashion designer with immense talent - but today, I am going to do a tour of her lovely house. I usually let the pictures speak for themselves but I am a bit worried it wont do justice to the details. I really want to talk about every single element that has inspired me through this photo shoot but I'm afraid that will be too much talking. This house is my opinion is truly one of the most homely home's I have come across.

I am saving the kids room, dining and the entertainment room for tomorrow. Come back for more .......you know the rest! I do plan to tell you more about the features and elements that I like the most.

File Facts:

• 80 year old house
• found in a remote village in Kerala
• dismantled and brought to Vaamika Island
• restored to its original structure
• new features (such as outdoor bathroom, infinite pool) added to the exteriors to add the "new" to the "old" 

My Comments:

Ever since I started blogging regularly, I realized that I need a home office. And although, I have a decent space I decided to give it a new look since I spend most of my spare time there instead of in front of the TV (I do need to catch up with multiple episodes of Suits though; for those who know what I'm missing). I looked at my office yesterday and knew that a pin up board would help me declutter and help me organize my space so much more. Then I had an idea..... I went shopping to the antique market and bought an old window for 500 Rupees($10) and used it to create my pin up THERAPY!
The advantage with this pin up board is you can close your pin up board to see these antique shutters, which is wall art by itself.

you need: Cork Board,Fabric,Adhesive,Paint,Brush, Wood, Nails & Misc

Time:4hr 

1. get a frame made with plywood (one that fits the window shutters)

2. cover the cork board with fabric and use adhesive to stick them together, this creates the actual pin up board

3.paint the frame and shutters  (you can paint them 2 different colours if you'd like)
4.attach the cork board wrapped in fabric into the frame

5.use new hinges to fasten the shutters to the newly made frame

tadaaaa.......
