Winter Be Gone!

That's right, friends ... even though it's cold and still feeling like winter OUTside ... according to our mantel ... the warmer temps have arrived ... the bunnies are hopping ... the *faux* florals are blooming ... annnnnd, the fake eggs are out in full force!  

I'm hoping maybe ... just MAYbe ... that these Spring touches I've added will grab Mother Nature's attention and encourage her to move the season along!



I mean, after all ... our pretty, faux plants from IKEA should help scare the cold temps away, right?!


And, this sweet "bunny in a basket" ornament and faux flowers from Michael's should make old man winter go into hiding! 


And, naturally, these seasonal pastel malted milk balls will entice Spring to come closer, right?!


Look ... even our little bunnies have had enough by showing that they "shalt" not "hear, see or speak" of winter ANY more!


If that still doesn't send winter away, hopefully, our egg wreath (from Home Goods) will help to do the trick!


If not, our banner (from Target) announcing SPRING will certainly let Mother Nature know that enough is enough!


I say that we all join forces by pulling out our eggs, bunnies, florals and anything SPRING to help make winter disappear(!)... whaddaya think?  No way will it want to stick around if we all ban together!  I'll be eagerly waiting to see all that you do!

Until then, I'll just stare at our mantel a bit longer and see what happens!  LOL


As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm off to play here:

Kitchen Hood.....

Hili ni jiko la mdau wetu.....ambapo Homez Deco tulimpakia rangi za Dulux...Lakini pia nilivutiwa na jiko lake.  Mnakumbuka kuna siku katika blog yetu nilizungumzia kuhusu Kitchen Hood, na kazi yake.....Kazi yake ni kunyonya unyevu na mvuke ambao hua unachafua sana jiko.....
Nilipendezewa pia na jinsi alivyo weka lebo katika kontena zake za kuhifadhia chakula...Kama inavyoonekana hapa.....Hata siku moja haitaweza kukupa shida ya kuanza kutafuta kontena ipi ina nini.......maana unaweza ukawa una kontena nyingi na zikakuchanganya...

Hili pia nililizungumzia la kuweka lebo kontena za chakula. na zinatakiwa ziwe zinazoonyesha ndani kuna nini.....
Mimi binafsi nilipendezewa na jiko lake,

Napenda kuchukua fursa hii kukupongeza mdau wetu, kwa kua na jiko zuri na safi na lakisasa.....

(nitaomba contacts za hawa waliotengeneza jiko hili ili wadau nao muweze kua na majiko ya kisasa kama hili, maana finishing yao ni nzuri mno)

Nitalipiga picha jiko zima na kuweza kuwaletea humu humu.......

For Sale items....


Habari wadau,

Baada ya ukimya kidogo kwenye blog, ambao ni kwa ajili ya kazi, za kwenda site......

Leo ninakuja kwenu na mada ya kuuza vitu vya ndani ambavyo hamvitumii, ama mnataka kubadilisha, mtoe vya zamani mlete vipya...

 Iwe ni majumbani ama ofisini, iwe ni vya garden ama garage

Sasa basi vitu hivi mnaviweka wapi? ama mnafanya navyo nini?

Huku ninakotembea, hili swala ninakutana nalo, naniongea na wadau, na ninashukuru kwamba wanaliitikia, na naona tunaanza kutoa vitu vyetu na kuviuza, kwa bei ambayo ni reasonable, na hata wewe muuzaji utapata hela ya kufanyia kitu kingine.....

Utakuta vitu ni viko katika hali nzuri mtu kavijaza ndani, ama kaweka stoo, ili mradi tuu ni vurugu....nyumba imejaa, hakuna nafasi, vitu vimesongamana....na bado analeta vingine...

Hivi unajua kua kabla ya kwenda kununua kitu lazima ukitafutie sehemu ya kukaa kwanza ndio ukanunue....

Nawaomba watanzania wenzangu, kwenye suala la ku pamba nyumba zetu hili nalo lipo.....la kupunguza vitu ndani, kabla ya ku anza kupamba.....Vitu vingi vikijaa ni uchafu, nasio kwamba ndio nyumba imekua ya kisasa.....kwa kujaza vitu.....

Chochote ulichonacho, na ambacho haukitumii...tuko sisi tunaweza kukitumia ni wewe kuamua kukitoa....

Homez Deco tumejitolea kukusaidia kuviuza vitu vyako kwa kutanga kwenye blog yetu, na wadau wavione na waweze kununua. kwa watakaohitaji...

Kuliko kukaa na kitu, mpaka kinaharibikia stoo.....na kuendelea kueleta msongamano wa vitu ndani...

Vitu hivi vinaweza kua ni fanicha yoyote ile, iwe ni ya ofisini ama nyumbani...

Na visiwe vimechoka sanaaaa ama vimechakaa sana......viwe katika hali nzuri....maana Homez Deco kabla ya kuviweka kwenye blog ni lazima tuviangalie...

Utahitajika kututumia picha ya kila upande  wa kitu hicho unachotaka kukiuza....

Zoezi hili ni kwa yoyote yule...iwe ni Dar ama mikoani.....



Tuwasiliane kwa email; sylvianamoyo@yahoo.com ama simu: 0713 - 920565.....

Impromptu Project

Have you ever been sitting at your dining room table when, all of a sudden, you look over at your front door and decide that it needs to be painted right then and there?

If so, that sounds like my house yesterday!

I've walked by ... opened ... cleaned, this same front door for almost 7 years.  *Never* have I thought about painting it anything other than white.  But, for some strange reason ... that changed a few days ago.  This is what our door looked like at 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning (sorry for the poor picture quality ... I could not seem to get ride of the shadows around the windows),


And, THIS is what it looked like at 10:20 a.m.!  LOL.  I just happened to have a can of black paint on hand ... and, well, our door got a new look!  

I love the difference!  And, now, it matches the outside of the door, as well!


I love impromptu projects like that, don't you?

Speaking of projects ... here's something else I'm working on, which includes this beautiful fabric, which I hope will unite our dining and sitting rooms!


I'll share the finished results soon!

Thanks for stopping by ... Happy Week!

Karibuni sana....

She came home on Mahalaya...

It all began one July afternoon in 2011, while having chai on our terrace in Bangalore, 
Mr. Husband and I were reminiscing about our respective childhood days spent in Calcutta, West Bengal. {Yes, both of us had Grandparents who lived in the ‘City of Joy’}

The rich culture, the distinct architecture, the warm people and the simple daily life in the land of the Goddess is so deeply engrained in our memories that we wanted it to be part of our lives today. To be depicted in the form of art that could be cherished everyday. Forever.

With each painting that Dithi Mukherjee uploaded on her blog, we knew that she was the only one who could bring our memories alive with strokes of her paint saturated with Bengal folk-art and mythology.

Dithi Mukherjee needs no introduction but let me try.
She is a self-taught artist and a print-maker from West Bengal, India living in Geneva, Switzerland. Her paintings are inspired by the rich traditions of India, her childhood memories, her experiences in the magical land of Bengal, the folk art and the music of the Bauls… 

Her unique style of painting has the viewer getting lost in the eyes that are nectar-filled pools of beauty.

Away from home.
The unabashed use of a vibrant palette of colours, the Bengal influence makes Dithi's work very exclusive.
Kumortully Ghats 
Mother and daughter.

Her talent weaves magic on anyone who looks at these canvases steeped in vibrant hues.

On a personal level, I met Dithi online via Vineeta’s blog in 2009 and there was an instant connection.
A creative connection. 
A connection fueled by our love for India, the great admiration for our culture and traditions. 
A connection shared with many cups of steaming hot masala chai over the internet. 
A connection based on our love for the beauty of life. 
A connection based on the highest regard for each other’s creative work.

We commissioned Dithi to paint for us amidst her hectic travels between Geneva and India and our imminent move to Minnesota.


For us, Calcutta is our favourite Bonedi draped in the traditional soft Bengal handloom saree, the Shanka pola (White & Red Bangles), a hand fan for those hot humid summers, the black & white flooring on which we as kids ran with abandon during our summer vacations. 


Few weeks before Durga Pujo, 2012 with each exchange of mails, with each shared thought, with each experience, with each stroke of her brush the Bonedi was getting transformed into someone mystical, someone magical, someone embodying the supreme feminine power. 

She was becoming the Goddess
She was becoming Durga.
She was becoming Maa.


In October, 2012 Dithi was leaving for India to be with her family for the Pujos and she mailed the painting of Maa just before she left.

Each day passed filled with the anticipation of Maa’s arrival. 
....and then finally.

A beautiful golden handwritten note by Dithi.

She arrived!

Maa arrived on Mahalaya
{The auspicious day that heralds the advent of Goddess Durga, the beginning of the Navaratris}

Dithi elevated the painting to a completely superlative creative level with her interpretations, the profusion of colours on the canvas, the lotus-petal eyes to drown in, the spring-green ‘pakhi’ Her consort, the crimson-coloured fingertips, the Bangla composition by Rabindranath Tagore that runs along like an intricate silk border that holds the painting so delicately.


Maa's space in our humble abode.

The birdcage on the camphor chest is representative of the profound composition 'Khanchar Pakhi Chhilo' by Rabindranath Tagore depicted in the painting.
Here is the translation.


Meanwhile in Calcutta, Dithi helped me get a bunch of traditional Bengali Sindoor Daanis’ {Containers for storing Vermillion powder} which I wanted to be part of Maa’s corner in our home.

Along with the Sindoor Danis came Tara Maa's Magical Padukas. 





I have mentioned before in many of the previous posts that whenever art in any form comes home: It is a blessing. 

With Maa coming home to us, in our new home, in a new country, we feel completely blessed!

When the ochre lights come on in the evening.

Thank you Dithi Mukherjee, for giving us Maa!

Hop over to Dithi's blog to read her post on the creation of Maa.
