Indian House Design

Indian interiors are different from conventional styles to us his wealth of colors. The most frequently used colors are orange, turquoise and magenta. In general, in order to create a truly Indian interior of this home should visit this wonderful country, not just to look and lifestyle of its people. But to get there all the necessary materials and components (fabric, crockery, etc.). When choosing fabrics for the Indian interior decoration of the premises in the selected style, preference should be given cotton materials, which can be printed pictures of dancing girls, animals, musicians, etc. Interior rooms can not be called up to India as long as there is no carpet in the room. In India, the carpets with a geometrically correct figures and necessarily used in the regeneration of living space.

Tantalizing Titles

I admit it. I judge my books by their covers...or at least I do when choosing the ones to place on top of cocktail and side tables. Why waste precious real estate with a banal book cover? But what about titles? Have you ever thought to display books with witty or naughty titles?

I admit that I never thought of doing so until I saw the above photo of London designer Richard Adams' bookcase. He very cleverly placed Snobs, Unsuitable Company, and Shocking! facing out on the ends of the glass shelves. I do have Shocking! in my home, and I really should place it on the top of a stack of books. Unfortunately, that might be the most Shocking! thing my home as seen.

After a quick search on the web, I found all kinds of books that would be perfect to display in a woman's home.

This Lonny photograph shows a stack of books in the home of New York designer Elizabeth Bauer. On top is the classic 1930s single gal primer Live Alone and Like It by Marjorie Hillis. I might have to get a copy for myself because I live alone, and guess what? I actually like it.

You could really be devilish and feature Maysie Greig's Men as Her Stepping Stones prominently in your home. (I have Nick Harvill to thank for introducing me to this book.) No, I'm not trying to make a statement nor a confession with this choice.

The feminist counterpoint to Greig's book might be Self Made Woman by Faith Baldwin. It might not be feminist, though, depending on how that woman became self made.

And last but not least, another Maysie Greig novel that is perfect for me: No Dowry for Jennifer. "His selfish love forced Jennifer into the arms of another man." And you thought all I did was write this blog!

Awarded...

Hey!

The lovely Jeanette from JVW Home has given me the 'Stylish Blogger' award, which I thought was very sweet of her. I am usually very tardy when it comes to getting back to those of you who give me these awards...sorry for that =0(

According to the rules I am supposed to

•Thank and link back to the person who awarded you. Done
•Share 7 things about yourself. (I have done a few of these posts so I am not sure there is anything you don't already know)
•Award to 10 great bloggers.
•Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award.

1. Some of you have just learnt that I am a Personal/Group Fitness Trainer. I am passionate about this and love to help people achieve whatever it is that they want. I started doing P.T in 1996 and my love has never wained. This is me working a Ki max bag(in the green top) with one of my friends. Love this class.

2. Having said that. I used to Box, as above. This was early in the day and was a outlet for me.

country home

3. I love vintage. I don't do mass produced at all. Not wanting to sound snobby though. I just don't like it. The thought that you can get it anywhere seems pointless to me. That is not developing your own style, which will be timeless to you, that is following the trend...not for me. Give me an old crusty piece to do up or a vintage sheet any day.

4.I am not ticklish much to Mics horror! Oh, wait, my Dad is the only person pretty much who has ever successfully tickled me and can get me every time.

5. I hate peas!! Despise them. Mic always laughs when we have a pie, Chinese anything where there is usually peas, because I will hunt each and everyone out and there will be a neat little pile by the side of the plate. Bad childhood experience!!

6. I hate having someone rub my finger prints. That is the equivalent to dragging nails down a chalkboard (that doesn't bother me though). It just feels wrong and makes the hair on my neck stand up. Even now I am thinking about it it is giving me the creeps. That would be like water boarding for me. We call it "Min-gy printing"-wrong!

7. I can 'smell the taste' Now let me explain. Some of you will know what I am on about. It is when you smell something that reminds you of the taste of something else or vice versa.

yeah, I'm weird!

Now, I can not pick 10 bloggers, so I would like you to copy this award for yourself and let us in on some weird and wonderful facts about yourself. It is like getting to know you away from the interiors side of blog land...go on =0)
