3 WEEKS AFTER MOVING IN. JAIPUR

OCTOBER 2013

remember, when i moved into my apartment.

VERY BROWN.

on my travels to LEH & KASHMIR 

& DELHI & JAIPUR

i bought 9 objects that i love.

some useful, some just beautiful for the eyes.

some of the marble rubble, has been removed from the front of the building.

look, top balcony. i put out a red tablecloth for the photo, of my space.

i have put photos of grandchildren on the wall.

bought meters of white fabric, to cover as much of the brown as possible. 

this door leads into the INDIAN STYLE bathroom..

i found this space very convenient as a storeroom.

behind the door.

these bright, daisies tiles are a feature in the INDIAN STYLE bathroom.

with respect i removed the brown pillows, and put in a cupboard.

with respect i removed the cream lace covers, over the brown lounge.

this BLOCK PRINT bed sheet, i bought @ I-INDIA @ JHAG VILLAGE.

the TABLE COVER, i bought @ an ECO GREEN exhibition in DELHI.

it is dyed & woven HIBISCUS FIBRE. 

the PEBBLES , i picked up along the road side in LEH. HIMALAYAN PEBBLES.

the turquoise and red coral lidded bowl, bought in LEH. 

the 2 mahala's bought in LEH.

this is a wool , felted, embroidered mat.

it is really a mat, but it was the right size to cover the table. 

then i bought a circular piece of plastic to protect it.

it is beautiful !

the round container in foreground, holding spices is a MASALA DABAR.

this beautiful, perforated, metal lamp, i bought in JAIPUR.

inside is fairy lights.

never bought one, as prohibited to bring into australia.

NOW, was my opportunity to enjoy.

the BOWL, is MOTHER OF PEARL,& HAND PAINTED .

you would have to agree with me, what a difference a few personal items makes to our personal living space. 

my space went from drab brown to VIBRANT LIFE WITH COLOUR.
