Home Tour ~ Shuba

Welcome to Shuba's home... Her home truly reflects the talents of this super woman... An Architech by profession, she worked for a few years, got married moved to the US, kids came along... then worked part time... And as kids took priority... today, Shuba is a full time, stay at home mom!! This only means.. that her passion in home decor enhances by the minute... You'll be as surprised as I am...



Full of warm, earthy tones, Shubha has filled each room with a variety of unqiue curios and knick knacks; each with their own story to tell.



This was one of my favorite walls in Shubha's home - I loved the sketches, the touch of brass and the lovely bursts out color. One of those walls you could stand in front of and have several pleasant conversations about each decorative piece!

Buys what catches your attention is the - 700 ganeshas she has collected... Each piece is unique - and has been selected and placed with utmost care...



I thought this was a lovely corner as well.

The below lamp was put together by Shuba... She had the brass pot.. and she shopped for the lamp shade.. joined together... they become a fabulous looking lamp!!


Can't you imagine sitting here with a good book and a few chocolate biscuits? Or even to just lie here and think through the days happenings - such a peaceful spot - bliss!!


I'm a huge fan of chests like this - Indian and otherwise. It makes me long to know what secrets and beauty from the past it holds - aren't you curious too?




Each step done by Shubha - stenciled orange pattern on blue base - She usedvarnish and orange colour....to match the tiles on the floor. What a unique idea!!





Oh.. another one of my favs... the first caricature is of Kumar and Shuba during the first year of marriage.... The second one is of the family .... Each wall... tells you a story of love... passion & hope!!



Shuba's home is a museum of antiques, brass, wood and ganesha.. She hunts all over the villages of South India for utensils, brassware - into random pawn shops to pick 'n choose her favorites!!



*sigh* what a gorgeous collection!!



This is Shuba's favourite room... ~ her family room!! From the floor panels.. to the selection of curios.. to the arrangement and everything else.. was all put together by Shuba... Can you see the love reflecting in her home??
