Rooms with a view...

When 2 people with 'Kala-bodham' (someone who appreciates art and creates beautiful spaces) get together, here's what you get!
 
Padmaja, my dearest friend from college, set up a home in Singapore that oozes old world charm. Along with her hubby, Pramod ( the sweetest man!), they've created a home that I can't quite find words to describe other than say it’s out of the world charming with plenty of character, drawing you in with warm colors, a blend of old and new furniture and paintings that beckon....

From the koi pond in the dining room to the blue, red and white master bedroom, one living space flows into the next with the most inviting corners to curl up with a book or just stare at the paintings and knickknacks around you and dream.....

Check out her own line of furniture at...Artful House....coming soon.

Come to think of it- 2 of my ex-roomies from the good (?) 'ole college days are into art and home decor- switching fields completely, discovering hidden talents and charting out new adventures- you go girls!! Check out www.Zaarga.com - and look out for a blog soon with pictures of a stunning bedspread in my guest room from Zaarga.
 


The living room- I love the pillows and the curio cabinet at the corner- too bad I don't have any good pictures of it.

Another corner near the stairs with art by Laxman Aeley - its the first time I've come across his paintings and love his style! Came across a few galleries online

 Yet another inviting corner with plenty of natural light...

A chest from the family home restored to its original splendor- by P!

The Koi pond that opens up to the sky- I'd love to be in this room when it rains!


I love this painting.. Hussain limited edition print...the sofa is upholstered in a deep purple gorgeous fabric!

The blue and white with reds thrown in- master bedroom!
 
The distressed night stand up close...
 

Another corner with an antique roll-top desk.

Living Room...

The other wall of the living room with Pillars and art...
I love this chair with the tile in the center....designed by P!
 
Thank you Padmaja and Pramod for the great time I had at your place, for the awesome lunch- wish I had pics of your plates and the food- both of which are to die for! Hugs!
Update: Pictures of the plate designed by Padmaja coming soon on my next blog!
