Past two days have been crazy ... I had an appointment for an interview and a photoshoot at home ... it was a very reluctant, yes ... because somewhere in the maze of all things we get involved in... in settling in, I let go off a lot of doing up in the house ... it was a wake up call and a great one ...
... I felt completely guilty and pathetic at the same time ... quite like the same feeling when you bake a cake and it collapses on you in the middle of the baking ... ;)
... God! I have a new home ... I have to attend to making it look all gorgeous and the works ... aaah! ... phew! ... o.k I haven't ... bet atleast some of you may share my sentiments ... :)
... its ironic ... but I actually love having guests and friends over ... keeps sloppy people like me in the check ... ;)
... it was a lot of last minute huffing and puffing ... and truck loads of flowers ;)... and the plants ...
... I really love the moment I carried the plants in ... they fit right in ...and yep! I do a load of heavy dutywork around the place ... an ex-tomboy ... there you see, that 's why ladies have big cars and not because it makes them feel powerful on the road ... ;) ...o.k so that bit is actually fun tooo ... :)
... I was beginning to get concerned about the proportion of the space ... some how all the furniture looked dwarfed in this house ... the ol' trick with oversized plants ...worked just fine ... and am I glad ... got a great deal on those palms and ... suddenly the room feels a lot more snug and comfy ...
... everthing said and done about design ... but the look is just not complete if you don't add those small details ... they are the last straw literally ... styling ... its almost as if you need those props to complete the look. In our homes ... its the lil' things that compliment the space ... and the more they have to do with you ... the more it feels home ...
... as somebody said and all design schools and pundits always preach ... success of any design is all in the details ... yep! ... it is ...
Does this post make you ... contemplative ... as my situation was ... do you love a wake up call ... I really need one everynow and then ... do share your thoughts ... would love to know what you feel ... :):)
