Copy A Table ...:):)

    It was interesting to do a table setting for "Kathleen's copy a table challenge" for 11th  December.

     I selected a picture from the "Architectural Digest" magazine and the table scape photo was from the home of none other than the master designer himself "Ralph Lauren". I liked it instantly for the table had a Tartan fabric touch. Seeing it i felt it would be apt to copy the table for the  challenge and the season as well.As  all of you know the fabric is a natural choice at this time of the year.

    I spread the tartan tablecloth and used my red plates like the white plates used on 'RLs' table.Instead of a transparent hurricane lamp I have placed a red hurricane lamp in the center .I have also used  three stem glasses to match the picture setting.The side board in the picture has a  red hunting coat,candle holders and a lamp.Instead i have  placed a old Ficus Bonsai tree decorated  with red bows and a candle holder filled with potpourris  for my side board.I hope you all like it.






























Thank you for your visit and have a wonderful season....:):)

  9. What a beautiful table! I love anything Ralph Lauren and I am using the same Royal Stewart tartan on my real Christmas table this year. I like your red hurricane better than the plain one in the photos. I loved this challenge, but I was on vacation and never finished my post. Great job!!

  19. Ahhhhh....tartan!!! One of my very favorite design elements of the Christmas season! Ralph Lauren's world seems immersed in tartan, and that is a beautiful thing!!! I love it that you chose the work of RL to emulate for Kathleen's party!!! Such a pretty Christmas table!!!

  20. I love the RL table but I love yours more. Using tartan plaid in a tablescape automatically says Christmas to me. The golden deer and the red hurricanes launches your table far beyond the RL inspiration. Beautiful job of copycat inspiration.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch
