Beautiful Colors of Holi

Holi is a Hindu festival which is celebrated on the last full moon day of the Winter season. Holi symbolizes many things – the arrival of Spring to some, while to others it celebrates good over evil.� Of course, the arrival of Spring is a harbringer of burgeoning new life and vibrant colors in contrast to the coldness and darkness of Winter.

I just came across this photoshoot featured on DesignSponge.com which captures the colors and spirits of Holi perfectly. You can find the article here.

Hi there – Due to the huge volume of spam we’ve been receiving on our blog, unfortunately, we’ve had to remove most of our posts, just to manage it. I’m sure there’s a better solution and i’m looking into it now. Thanks for your patience!

For now, here’s a contemporary home in Spain I’d just LOVE to live in! You can find the rest of the images here.

Nyonya Pottery modernized!

Harabu House — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:14:22 +0000

The Nyonya or Peranakan people of Singapore and Malaysia refer to the descendants of ethnic chinese men who migrated to this region approximately 300 years ago, and married local Malay women. This fusion of cultures resulted in some really amazing cuisine and gorgeous pottery.

On my recent trip to Singapore, I purchased a few Nyonya pottery pieces – serving bowls and spoons. �The colors of this Peranakan-ware is clearly influenced by the bright colors seen in Malay culture, while the shape of each piece is distinctly chinese.

Just the other day, I came across a post by Joy of Oh Joy! blog, who had featured some Nyonya pottery designed by two Singaporean designers. However, these designers gave the traditional pottery a “treatment”, which resulted in some “Spotted Nyonya” pottery. �The result is quite stunning! Here are some images of the traditional pottery that I purchased as well as the “treated” pottery. Pretty cool!

Images of the “Spotted Nyonya” pottery can be found here -�http://www.farm.sg/feed/details/farm_debuts_at_maison_objet_pr/main

Serene Living Spaces

I was browsing through�House to Home, a British decor magazine, and came across some really great living spaces, full of inspiration. There were plenty to look at, but here are my particular favorites!

Love the old stone wall in the back!

I really like the use of dark grey walls with pops of color,

especially from the japanese paper fan on the mantel.

Something so peaceful about this one….I just love the wood walls and those lovely coffee tables!
