Weekend Wrap Up - Wk 12

Hello my lovelies… Happy New Year to you all!! Hope you’ve kick started your new year with a bang… I sure have!! I’m hoping 2011 will be better in a lot of ways compared to 2010!!






Watch out for more features on Colours Dekor in 2011 – it’s lovely to dabble in something new every once in a while, isn’t it? Some of them are ~






In the Spotlight ~ January & February are dedicated to ‘Walls with Character’… more on that one tomorrow.. I’m rather excited about it!





The Friday Mix will be a weekly blog swap… And am hoping you will all join in – details to follow soon.





I will also be taking ‘The Weekend Wrap Up’ and ‘Monthly Home Tours’ into 2011… so if you want your home to be featured on Colours Dekor or wish to blog swap, please write to me on torresp27@hotmail.com





I am also looking forward to more from the team ~ ‘Yum in a Jiffy’ by Anpu or Shilpa, ‘Book Reviews’ & ‘Colour in Focus’ by Rose and more ‘Everyday Crafts,’ from Urmi & Harshi.







Now back to the New Year weekend!! We brought in the new year with friends at home… and this is how the backyard looked.




The birdbath was transformed into a candle holder…




Oh.. and I’ve been saving these lovely lanterns for a special occasion.. I have ten of these gorgeous ones in lovely colours.. I used them all for our bash!! Will surely post more pictures later!!




We set up the bar outdoors… I’m not sure if it was a good idea or not… but looked nice!! *smiles*






This is how the garage looked… with table arrangements!!








So my lovelies... will you be joining the 1st Weekend Wrap Up of the year?? ... -

Looking back and moving forward

Well hello! Hope your New Year’s Eve was great! We spent a very low key evening at home, and it was perfect. (Have I mentioned we’ve become complete homebodies??)
