Threadpoets

Two months back I came across an interesting online store called Threadpoets, started by two moms, Miriyam Mathew and Sonia Thomas. Their product line consists of apparel, handbags and accessories. Their mission is to assist in the restoration of women rescued from human trafficking in Mumbai, India. Some of their beautiful handmade products are made by the rescued women.






















Their products can be found at their online store and etsy.

Dining Lifestyle

Dining room décor can either be formal or casual, traditional or contemporary, depending on the design of the room and your entertaining lifestyle. If your lifestyle is more of the occasional family dinner, then don’t spend on a lavish dining set. Design your dining area to be vibrant, stylish and attractive by choosing the right table and chairs depending upon the space available.


Sharing some of my favorite dining spaces from myhomeideas. What's your favorite?

Urban and Funky Room

The room I am featuring today is an inviting reading room or corner designed by Fábio Galeazzo. I love the combination of interesting shapes and colour he used in this room... such a welcoming balance. The use of orbital bookshelf as a window and the hanging nest is very fresh and creative. What do you like about this room?
