Summer Bathroom Decor

Here is a glimpse of my Summer bath room theme .. I have been collecting stuff here and there and the Sea Shell are from our trip to the beach this year .. and some from my in-laws trip to Andaman ... I just love the natures decor that we can incorporate in our house .... look at the seashell that I wrapped around the candle and it turned a simple white candle into a beach house candle :)


and check out the Sea Shell sitting above medicine cabinet ..

and the ship in this pic is from garage sale .. and so are the fish .. seashell is from Andaman ..so a collection of decor from nature and cool finds decorate my guest bathroom this summer .. I am enjoying the decor .. and home you enjoyed the pics too ..

Blessings by Mom

I have to share two special additions to my Home decor ... the reason they are special is they are from the two most wonderful Mom's in the world .. My mom and My Mother -in -law...

The first one is the oil painting that my mother-in-law did for us ... the color of Ganesha is perfect for our home and his grace is something we can feel in our home:) .. She made another one that I am planning to decorate around Diwali time .. so stay tuned for that ..

and the second gift is from my mom .. she gifted me this beautiful Ganesha bell on her visit last time here .. I found a perfect place for it in my dinning room ..

I love the way it decorates the house but also remind you to pray every time you look around the house ...its positive feeling that circles around the house and its mom's blessing that our family is blessed with...

Random Pic ..

I came across this pic that I look few months back and I thought it was worth sharing .... it was taken near a lake on a cold Feb evening .. doesn't the evening look so beautiful ? Sometimes you capture a moment that you appreciate later ...

California Calling ...

When life gets busy and you get a chance to escape ....take it .. so did I .. Life has been busy at work and I was so looking for a vacation ..and to relax .we are here visting the Wine country .. I have seen people wearing I Heart San Fransisco Tshirts and trust me want one of those now .. weather was awesome and views were to die for ..... clouds dancing by your face and the view of pacific made you stop and enjoy the beauty of nature ....in Napa Valley birds taking and the long and never ending view of grape plantation ...in downtown San Francisco the busy street .. street performer ...cable car ... no matter how many pictures I click and share there are so many other things that I captured in my heart and mind ... I love that this place is surrounded with so many things and is busy but you can go out few miles and their is the relax .. natural side of this state. I definitely would like to come back and enjoy more time here for now its what I am leaving with the memories of San Francisco ....

Color galore

Few shots from our Atlanta trip last weekend .. weather was awesome and views were amazing because of mother nature ..clear blue sky and splashes of red/green/pink/white on ground made me take few pics and share with you all ... Have a colorful day ...
