Couple a weeks ago, I was in Mumbai and was fortunate to attend a gallery hop; part of the Good Homes magazine's art week. First off, it was a great experience to meet other bloggers and interact about art, decor, Mumbai ......and more. What was more exciting was visiting various art galleries around Colaba with Elise, of Asia Art Projects and talking to the curators themselves. I must say, some of the galleries have done such a great job with the display and overall ambiance. I am not too much of an art person- but was still able to appreciate a lot of it that evening. Definitely want to say- kudos to the Good Homes Magazine's team for putting in so much effort to promote art in the city.

Even though it was a bit overwhelming, what remained with me after the art walk was artist Gopikrishna's paintings at Art Musings gallery curated by Sangeeta Chopra.

in a land far far away, there lived a king and his beautiful queen

the king was strong and the queen was ....

Well, well, I would have told you the whole story and what they did and how their beautiful daughter eventually got married; but I thought I'll leave it to the guests in my house to decide the story they want to prescribe. 

Small makeover in my powder room, with a Raja- Rani (king & queen) theme.

So,THIS is how its all started. I found a bunch of old post cards which were painted in traditional styles during my last visit to Jaipur. Luckily soon enough I found old stamp paper/agreement papers that had kings and queens and their whole troop hand painted on one side in an antique store in Delhi.

RESULT: easy/pretty framed wall arts

we have some fun table and x'mas decor coming up for this holiday season, 

stay tuned

A few days ago somebody asked me where certain things around the house were and my answer was quiet constant - flea market, flea market, flea..............So, I went around my house and put together all the things I have picked up from flea markets. They include wall arts, antiques, paintings, tiles, glasses, random things that I don't have names for. All I know is they all have a story- some longer than mine.

 

Do not forget to leave your comments for me.
