Little Tweak!

A bit of creative bug in me gets super hyper after frequent caffeine kicks on weekends. What else do you do when winter blues get you down and you have those lousy uneventful weekends in hand? The bleh weather is guilty for this little tweak we happened to knock down last weekend. Hubs dear, who has been at the every step of the way in decorative front of our home, threw his usual subtle head nod and we executed some bottled up ideas. Let's curtail my conversation and head straight to the result of this unproductive day. 

 

I have been scratching my head for this bare wall in the petite corner of our living room and after making a list of thoughts and jotting down few configuration, we bravely took that leap to improvise the corner beside the fireplace in our living room. The ideas were unleashed and executed by putting up a sconce ( you might have seen it resting in my Diwali post here) is now framed up on the wall along with other ledge, which I happen to bring home from "Home Goods" ( we have Home Sense here in Toronto). 

 

Now the collage adds life to this wall. Gray shelf tons down the brilliance of the brass and I love the filtering lights through the window packing a whole lot of punch on brass. Now the wall mounted wooden shelve and corbel will provide a rotating display of my favorite brass. The space will be interplayed with grouping of brass cluster atop the shelve and sconce as and when my mood swings ;)

 

I kinda love how it turned out. I think rest of the brass also blends in with ease. 

Godliness is binding itself in every nook and corner of this room with this vibrant shade of blue. If u want a different approach than regular frame, go ahead, take the inspiration and add some character and personal touch on the wall. Until then enjoy your weekend and stay connected on Facebook or Instagram of Pinkz Passion, toodles!

Hello September!

Greetings with an updated visual from my end! As the new month settling in, I am fully armed with chock full of decor inspirations for fresh month, fresh posts and approaching festivities. Long strings of posts are lined up for the month of September. Day dreaming to concoct new plans and concepts to serve your appetite. Some aqua blue moods and pink and fuchsia carnations which I happened to pick this weekend are adorning blue room to woo away our blue mood. Flowers are my best preference to lift our spirit in this wallowing mood.


 

Presently, we are crammed with all the must know of new life as the young lady leaves home with a bold determination to carve her own path in the life for the future we all envisioned. Once we thought there is still long time but now it’s here and we are genuinely perplexed about how that childhood era ended so soon. We are bit taken aback thinking about picking up our life without her. A great deal of thoughts is racing for this unhappy transition. I guess it's best if we leave these encapsulated feelings untouched for now.

 

                  

On the other hand, I have started to sharpen my creative eye to shake up the festive décor for you all to overcome the great emptiness welled up deep inside me. Happy thoughts and my blog with keen readers like you will surely whittle down the rough phase. Until we meet again, stay connected toodles!

No place like home...

Nothing beats more than belonging in a blissful state of being home after a life affirming and wondrous vacation. Back to the place which triggers a deep emotional feeling of affection and acceptance. Getting all our acts together as we wrap ourselves back in the relishing comfort of our home. Though, still shaking off vacation buzz along with a long list of work entails. Still spinning my wheels and navigating journey’s up and down. Last week went by in a wink nursing the consequences of jet lag & with lingering haze of sleep. Yes, we were in post vacation blues ;) as they call it.

 

 

Regardless, how royal hospitality pampered you but resting your wearing feet and rediscovering yourself in your own home is a wonderful feeling. No matter in how luxurious dwellings we slumbered, but getting into our clean sheets and waking up in our own bed felt heavenly (in the cosiness of that special one and only pillow). In spite of how delectable diverse dishes we had but on our return all our heart was yearning for homemade heartily meal of “khichdi” with “ghee” (the best if enjoyed with bare hands).

 

 

After changing the horizon and kicking back to our comfort bubble, I had a great excuse to give my home a décor therapy (we all need one in once a while, wouldn't you agree?). I took the freedom to indulge in some decorating opportunity and plunked couple of my favorite objects on the table. Every single corner your eye might choose to land was brighten for an inviting sense. 

 

Decorating works as a remedy for me as it tears me away from all the anxiety and wallowing mood. Keeping the very ethos in mind, re-arranging was a pleasant compulsion and a welcome dose of sweetness. Flattering candle lights, and lovely familiar scents wafting from it realize us that, we are home.  

 

  

Definitely, coming back was a delirious feast, and getting back in informality and comfort, set us all free. Now, leisurely, we are soaking up vacation’s laid back vibe and rediscovering ourselves. Settling for ho-hum and adoring some definite perks of being home again. With summer vacations and warm up in weather, we have more reasons to appreciate out door. Long trolling in the ravine, late night movies with milkshakes and chit chats are getting us back to routine bit by bit. Tons to compose and share once we ease down, will be right back to you soon, until we meet again, stay connected on Pinkz Passion's Facebook page. Don't forget to enjoy your weekend, toodles!

 

Already 2015?

Happy New Year, folks! 2014 left with some sweet and sour memories, here we are in 2015 already and I am still in an awe that the year passed by in a blink of an eye. Fingers crossed for another great year with the blessings of God almighty, love of family and the support of lovely friends.

Lots of things got settled in last couple of days of holidays! A surprise birthday party for my bestie who turned big 40! Fancy dinners with friends and a break free routine and a relaxed stay at one of our family favourite Niagara Falls. We take full advantage of being so close to the beauty of the nature, we often escape for a day or two.

Finally we took the deck down today and all the tinsel and baubles were put away with another year of CHRISTMAS memories. The room felt empty without it, but sure is "back to normal".

Let's start all fresh and new as the new year's beginning. Some new settings took place with old and new mix and match. Thought of sharing some snapshots.

Sometimes, it is challenging for me to add perfect  colours to my living room as it is already bathed in the touch of peacock blue. However, brass can never go wrong if you are a lover of an ethnic décor.

 A gift of vase made an addition to my brass collections.

I try to experiment with height while creating vignettes. Different heights create visual interest while pieces at the same level will not be effective enough.

Odd is my way to place objects

 When we walk by or sit in the living room, the coffee table becomes a focal point. I have kept it simple to allow focus on other elements in the room. It was an easy way to change up the look of a room and give it a fresh touch with my brass collectibles. 

Added a pop of purple colour to create a complete composition on the table.

Aj, my husband often teases me, when he notices changes in any corner of the house, if my collections have feet and they walk and make their own space in our home or what? Well, with a smirk, I just take that question as a compliment and continue doing so more and more often.

On the colder note, yes, we have been feeling stinging sensations with bitterly cold in my part.

We uprooted our lives and came to Canada and traded weather, so can't complain and have to accept the fact with a smile on a face :)

Signing off for now and will meet again with some new corners, till then, toodles!
