How have you been, my wonderful kittens? I am missing you and the blog sorely. And while the tech team works furiously behind the scenes to give this site a facelift, I am sneaking in one gorgeous post full of room goodness, for you and for me.  I love this feeling of nesting and repose that sets in as autumn turns to winter. While the early morning and late evening nip in the air

Is it me you are looking for? When I was invited by Isprava to view their lovely villas in Goa Sorry for being AWOL for the last few weeks. I have a very good reason for it though. There are some good folks working behind the scenes to get a fabulous new website ready for An Indian Summer. I have been neck deep in layouts and mock-ups and have been advised not to put any new content on

Ah, the villas and B&B's of Srilanka! I can spend an entire day couch surfing through them. One such couch surfing trip threw up Habaraduwa House and I fell in love with it's pristine interiors and colonial vibe. The simple yet eye catching furnishing, distressed white washed wooden ceilings, cozy couches and an open 'breathing' space is what makes it stand out for me. Here are some of

Himma.io I know it's cliched, but please, do allow me to exclaim at least once. It's September! Already! There, I had to get it out of my system. It is indeed the ninth month of the year and so far, it has been a super month. There has been incoming goodness in form of people, places, work and of course, the sea and the rain. And to add to the general happiness, GoodHomes magazine

After an onslaught of bohemian interiors past few weeks, I am in a minimal sort of a mood today. Airy, clutter free spaces, not too many elements, clean lines and muted colors. We will have to see how long this phase lasts; knowing myself, probably not very long! So you and I should enjoy these calm rooms before the boho streak strikes again and I fill your screen again with colors and

Breathtaking inspiration from Luna Zorro   I stumbled upon Luna Zorro's Instagram account and fell in love with the colorful bohemian images. Take a look at my favorites: Luna Zorro is a young furnishing brand founded and run by Molly Berry, who moved to Antigua two years ago. The search for the perfect bed cover is what triggered Molly

Hello, my kittens! Last week was dedicated to writing. Writing articles, responses to interviews, jotting down lists, writing instructions, putting together project plans, storyboards - you name it and I wrote it. After spending a month in the big city, I am now back at my sea side abode. And as soon as I settled in, I thought of you and found some striking gems off Instagram to share with

Beautiful Spaces! It has been beautiful, here in India, last few weeks. Monsoon rains have covered the length and breadth of the country and everything is washed and lush. Perfect weather to get a cup of tea and curl up with your favorite decor magazines. And that's exactly what I did today. Here are some spaces I handpicked for you from Homelife, Australia.

Hitanshu Bhatt! This is one of those posts. In which I go overboard. Which take me an entire day to put together because I can't decide what to leave out. For everything is so striking. Achingly beautiful. The possibilities are endless. I start feeling like a pseudo artist just by the virtue of playing around with the visual boards. It is work that inspires me. Work that makes me feel

Featured on Ball and Claw Vintage Instagram Feed You do know that I love Instagram. I keep asking you, again and again, to go and check it out, and see what I have been up to and then leave me little notes and little hearts. Yes, I am quite pushy that way. But apart from the fact that I can obsessively share pics of my cat [among other things] on Instagram, I also love it because I

Along with journalists, influencers, editors & bloggers from different countries, I got an opportunity to experience IKEA as an insider. While the days were packed with sessions,

It's a gorgeous summer day here in Stockholm, and after traveling around Europe last few weeks, I am resting my nomadic feet in a cozy garden cafe. Sitting here, as I check into my home on the world wide web, my little blog, it's but apt that I write about another nomad, a nomad that's my favorite home luxury lifestyle brand! A brand that is quintessentially Indian at heart yet enjoys &

An Indian Summer has been invited by Ikea to attend the two day fun and collaborative event - Democratic Design Days, in Almhult, Sweden next week.

I adore Instagram. For it is on Instagram that I found Couleur Locale and gaped open mouthed at these gorgeously styled spaces, with products sourced from all over the world. Globetrotting founders of Couleur Locale call themselves treasure hunters and find for their store a mix of well designed, vintage, original, unique local products. I absolutely love the raw, earthy, natural feel of

The rooms that I am loving this week are being loved for a reason. Last week, one of my all time favorite persons asked me to style his new apartment and the brief that he gave me was that his home should feel like a 'man cave'. Once I was done rolling my eyes and making apt comments, I got down to the task at hand and started putting together a visual board for him to tell me what he

For a home in the hills. Come summer and I feel the all familiar pang of mountain longing. Not that it goes away in other seasons, but the searing heat very quickly turns the longing into an obsession. While I now stay next to the sea, my heart beats bumpity bump for the hills, ALL the time. Every year, when I get some time, I pick up my search for the perfect land in the hills, where

It's been some time. Several weeks. Around two months since I last spoke to you here, on the blog. It was an unplanned, unintentional break and not a pleasant one. But now, the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel has been spotted and after days and nights of heart wrenching turbulence, things have finally calmed down, for better. I am breathing again and my lost mojo is knocking at

Goa. My acquaintance with this sea side heaven is relatively recent. I visited Goa for the first time a couple of years ago and fell in love with it's lush rain drenched fields, the winding roads, quaint villages, beautiful houses and the gentle folks who live here. I remember one balmy afternoon on that trip, mellow after a few chilled drinks, I had sighed and wondered aloud, what it would
