Now you lot volition survive glued to business office iii every bit well, amongst equal adoration. If inwards representative you lot missed business office ane in addition to business office two, you lot may caput here in addition to here to tour this envy-inducing, richly layered home, where every corner is exquisitely adorned.

The Library:

Paddy is a voracious reader from every bit far dorsum into childhood that she tin remember, a lineament she says is inspired past times her mother. Reminiscing the days of her childhood, she recollects visiting the local library regularly since the historic catamenia of 4 amongst her mother. Regretfully, she had to abandon boxes in addition to boxes of her mass collection when she moved to the US, but her love for reading remained. Needless to say, when Rama occupation solid unit of measurement bought a home, they needed a designated infinite for their keepsake books.   Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 look out area, overlooking the antechamber is dedicated every bit the family’s reading nook. Although Paddy does non larn enough fourth dimension at nowadays to read, due to the fact that her kids are too young, it did non halt her from creating this darling piffling reading space. She creatively curated her ultimate mass collection along some knick knacks in addition to décor accessories.



Cozy reading nook inwards the upper level, overlooks the foyer.

The Antique mass shelf came to their domicile along amongst the tall mirror that the occupation solid unit of measurement accept inwards formal dining. This teak manus carved shelf is made out of architectural relieve from a traditional southward Indian door frame. Of course, similar repose of the eclectic pieces inwards the home, in that place is a story behind this slice also that triggered Paddy to convey it home. “The matter that straight off attracted me to this mass shelf was the yellowish pigment at the bottom, symbolic of virtually southward Indian door frames. Applying turmeric in addition to kum kum every bit many know, is an ancient Hindu custom in addition to epitome thresholds inwards yellowish in addition to ruddy paints inwards diverse rangoli patterns, was a modified practise adopted later, reflecting the same symbolism. Growing up, this threshold fine art was ane of my favorite chores that my mom used to give me during major festivals. When I saw this mass shelf amongst a yellow pigment retained at the bottom, it flashed really vivid memories from my life dorsum home!"

Apart from books, the shelf is peppered amongst interesting Knick knacks, toys (kondapalli, marapachi), in addition to other figurines.

Adjacent to the shelf on the wall, are iii ornate mini picture frames that are garage sale finds. Take notice how she fixed them to the wall amongst a mini brass bell within each frame! The bells again.... at nowadays let's whistle! :)

The flooring seating channels a wonderful cozy expanse to laze some amongst a mass or a chai.

The really comfortable, personal in addition to unique “baithak” expanse is created for practical reasons keeping family’s immature children inwards the mind, who love climbing over slice of furniture in addition to jump around. Canny work of colors via vibrant cushions brightens this dramatic setting.

The Kitchen in addition to Family Room:

The kitchen in addition to family, held every bit the pump of Rama occupation solid unit of measurement are done inwards an interesting contrast to the rooms inwards the front end expanse of the home. The décor diva, who likes to throw an chemical ingredient of surprise into everything she does, considers the styling of these rooms to survive the surprise that eschews the expectation of the décor tendency laid inwards the front end department of her home.

The styling of the opened upwards programme kitchen in addition to occupation solid unit of measurement display a perfect residue betwixt pleasing aesthetics in addition to practicality.

As per Paddy, a considerable sentiment has gone into this design decision: "As much every bit I similar the traditional Indian decor, I also love the fuss free, minimalistic in addition to serene ambience provided past times contemporary designs. While the front business office of our domicile is done inwards a traditional style, where we embraced color, patterns in addition to bling amongst abandon; the heart of our domicile i.e. occupation solid unit of measurement in addition to kitchen accept been done up inwards contemporary style. The master copy argue for this decision existence nosotros needed a clutter gratis infinite for my kids to run around. As such, in that place is plenty mess to cleanup every twenty-four sixty minutes catamenia (from my kids in addition to kid's dad), then making this choice made my life slow in addition to manageable"

The arresting characteristic inwards the occupation solid unit of measurement room is a giant crystal chandelier, complimented past times a row of  to a greater extent than crystal light fixtures all the means to the kitchen.

A Howard Miller double sided clock mounted on a pillar post, midway betwixt occupation solid unit of measurement in addition to kitchen lends a practical, yet fashionable solution for checking fourth dimension from whatever side!

The pops of color come upwards from the floral in addition to fruit display inwards the room done inwards neutral palette. The lighting fixtures are similar the sparkling ear rings for the beautiful, serene human face upwards of the rooms!

Though minimal, the choice of slice of furniture in addition to accessories from the off-white Natuzzi sectional, the Gray leather Nuevo Living bar stools, custom made java in addition to dining tables, the radiant calorie-free fixtures, all together brand a fashionable yet practical occupation solid unit of measurement retreat for the Ramas.

Paddy created a mini-world total of lush, beautiful plants by  making her ain terrariums higher upwards the sink window.

Their custom made depression dining tabular array is a large striking amid her visitors who love to 'sit down' literally for a repast or tea on this uncomplicated yet lovely table.

The kitchen dining is styled inwards a contrasting subject to the formal dining, where the family got a depression tabular array custom made through Amish craftsmen. Paddy wanted their family to accept a 'cross legged sit down downward meal' inwards the traditional Indian way. So she opted for the Japanese style table that accommodates this sentiment inwards a contemporary setting.

The fruit that is e'er in that place on the side bar adds a splash of color to the room. Paddy is famous inwards her circle for her French press java that she makes, past times grinding beans fresh for every brew.

Her ruddy clay pots in addition to accessories add together a hot glam factor to the kitchen. The ruddy delicious apples inwards the motion epitome higher upwards are from their ain apple tree trees inwards the yard.
