Warmth and Luxury

How many times have we been to a place that was extremely rich and luxurious, but didn't exude any warmth? Any place that was warm and welcoming, but needed to look much better than an old attic?

Here's one place that's beautiful, and yet, completely welcoming and inviting - you will love to sit at the breakfast table and have "chanya bhaaji and paav with cha", stretch out on the welcoming sofa cum couch and watch your favourite programmes on Tata Sky, or just stand in the balcony and take in the cool breeze... yes, you do have to figure out the beautifully camouflaged doors to figure out where the bathroom is, and hold yourself from wanting to play with the shiny black and white pebbles making up the shoreline in the corner of the living room, but hey, that's a small price to pay :)

This is Sweta and Siddha's new self-designed abode in (where else?) Panaji, Goa!



The warm and inviting living room.. the huge sofa cum couch is such a bonus for the couch potato, not that Siddha is one, with all his bubbling energy. Check the awesome wall paper on the far wall in perfect harmony with the curtains and the upholstery.









View from the balcony into the spacious and well-lighted kitchen and dining space. The beautiful breeze blowing in through the french windows makes cooking such a "with the nature" experience, and cuts down on the cost of a fresh air fan :)











The bed room is spacious, with plenty of space for all the curios and "oh, remember it was the first gift you gave me" thingys. Earth colors ensure a very warm and cosy ambience all day long.

And finally, my sister, Sweta, setting the table for a sumptious meal!
