My Home, My Haven ~ home tour Vandana


"A house is made


of walls & beams,


A home is made, 


of love & dreams"


~ unknown








The above words are so apt for Vandana's beautiful home, filled with lots of love, amazing colours, stunning beauty, with truck loads of passion, added in a few dreams, and a little clutter ... I'm sure you agree with me!!







Now a little about the 'architect and designer' of this home ~ Vandana *smiles*






I am
Vandana, a primary school teacher by profession. I have always enjoyed doing up
my 'home' and making it a place my family would love to come back to after the
day's work. I love colours and exuberance around me. I've never shied away from
making use of bold striking colours in my living space.












Recently, we
moved house and city. After living in Mysore and Bangalore for over 15 years, relocating
to Delhi was not easy. I miss my city, my own place that I decorated with so
much love. The rented place we live in now, has not been able to take the place
of my colourful home in Bangalore. So here I am trying to make the most of my
available resources to turn this pad into a cozy home.....














I am sharing
some photographs of my living room and one of the balconies. I have always
loved greenery and have tried to have a small balcony garden. This is just the
beginning....in days to come I plan to have a proper garden.....












My decor
style is very simple, ethnic and youthful. I believe in low budget decor. The
cane furniture blend all these elements so well! The bright colours in my home
really make me happy and cheerful...rust, orange, blue, green. yellow...... these
are some of my favourite colours.... There's no colour coordination anywhere in
my place.... It's a mix of all these colours....











I'm totally in love with all the colours in this home, the bold blend of colours has my heart. The fusion of types of furniture, colours of furniture, use of canes and the pretty colourful mat ... makes me want to visit Vandana's home... and makes me wonder what her home in Bangalore or Mysore looked like... if this one is sooooooooooooooo beautiful....



This home definitely has a lot of character and reflects the vibrant personality that lives in there...









So... go on and post a comment and let me & Vandana know what you think... *smiles*... A little word of encouragement goes a long way...
