I've been thinking of redoing my house for long
and now that I have quit my job to become a homemaker, the desire to renovate
my abode is stronger than it ever was. I stare at the bare walls and think of
all the décor items that I can buy and adorn my home with. This year marks the 3rd
year anniversary of us moving into our home and this definitely calls for a
celebration and makeover, no?
When we moved in to our
apartment in 2011, my husband and I did not have many ideas for home décor. I was pregnant
with my daughter and I was planning to move to my mother’s place in Mangalore
for my delivery. So we put all furbishing ideas on a back burner and decided to
buy all furnishing items after I came back with our baby.
The first thing that
we brought for our home was a sofa. Nothing fancy- a comfortable wooden sofa
with cozy cushions where I could spend hours, contentedly watching television
or catching up on my reading. Of course I had forgotten that babies grow up and
tend to occupy your favorite spot, eating, drinking and essentially spending
all their waking hours in “your spot”.
So that’s why the
first item that I would love to buy from makemyhome.com is a comfortable bean
bag and I know the perfect place where I could place it too. Right next to my
book shelf!
Browsing through this
link, I found a bean bag that caught my eye for its vibrant color. It looks so
inviting too. I can imagine myself, after a hard day at work, relaxing on this
bean bag, with a cup of tea in one hand and a book in another. Bliss!

And this is my book
shelf that it is almost brimming over with books. Make My Home wouldn’t be selling any
wall-to-wall book shelves, I wonder, because that’s what I would really need J
One of the few
woodwork items that we bought when we moved into our dream home is the large
TV/display unit. But somehow, as I stare at it with a deepening frown, I realize
that it looks too simple and dreary. What it needs is a contemporary and chic redo
that will give it a new appeal.
And what caught my
eye was this The Yellow Door Round Oil Burner with a beautiful abstract design
cutout. Isn’t it splendid? I think my living room would look mesmerizing under its
soft lights.

It’s really difficult
to select just 3 items to renovate my house with, because everything that I see
in makemyhome site is so beautiful and exquisite. I was in a dilemma over an
ethnic Aapno Rajasthan lantern and a wall mount set of miniature pots from the
same brand.
The lantern has an old-world charm
Then my eyes fell on
the bare walls next to the cane swing and I knew that I had to have the wall
mount set. So with a last longing look at the charming lantern, I decided that
the last item on my wish list would be the below set of miniature pots.

The bare walls screaming for renovation and a makeover !
My home is a place where
I can relax, where I can be myself, where I can see my daughter play, learn and
grow. Home is my paradise, a blissful heaven. My home reflects my style-
simple, refined and chic.
I think this song
from Saath Saath echoes how I feel about my home. Home is where my heart
is!

Love your book shelf and your oil burner... I think I like all houses that have a home for books in it :) Btw you are from Mangalore? So are you a Konkani? We should bond over Konkani food too then :P
