    A home is where my heart is and is much more than four walls, a roof and a floor.
    Your Home is an extension of your personality, taste and an expression and with the taste as unique as the person who lives in there!! . A Home need not be as big as a castle or as small as an Attic room, its your personal touch and your style that makes it unique to make you feel instantly comfortable and happy.
    Home decoration need not be expensive and it hardly takes any time to plan to give a new desired look.
    Add a finishing touch to your decor with collection of home accents and transform homes with inspirations that come forth with ideas to add artistic flair. If you enjoy decorating your home yourself this is the place to be to share your experience and your suggestions and bring together like minded friends on this forum is the reason I have joined IndusLadies.com . Glad to be a part of it.

    hi everybody
    last month my mother gave me two porcelain jars which were presented to her by her mother. i actually did'nt know what to do with them, because i neither buy salt or tamarind so much to store them in those jars nor make pickles so much. so finally what i did was, one jar i just sprayed gold paint and did some art on that and placed a flower vase on that, it looks splendid. the other jar i painted some diamond shapes and stuck gem stones(used for tanjore painting) and placed some flower on it. this also looks very beautiful.
    these jars have given my hall a different look.

    Hi Everybody,i am typically a homebird and so i like to decorate my home in the best way possible with the things i can get easily at home.I dont believe in expensive articles. A plain curtain can be adorned with a decorative head clip or headclasp. The traditional brasswares(which originally belonged to our grandmas) can be used to decorate our living rooms as flower vases.My old Nataraja idol is placed at my entrance with 2 porcelain flower vases i received as a gift .I dont forget to adorn both of them with natural flowers everyday.It is both for the purpose of worship and beauty.A satin ribbon that came with a gift package can be used to tie around a doll in the showcase which makes it more beautiful.A small embellishment on a mundane thing adds to its beauty.i always put my creativity cap on to get new ideas.

    Dear Laxmi,

    Thanks a lot for the wonderful part you have played right from making the announcement to the spectacular proclamation of the winner.

    I am glad that everyone has thoroughly enjoyed participating in the thread and if not for the contributors, there would not have been any popularity.To me it was one of the best threads that I enjoyed reading and veiwing.Yes it is going to be cherished for a long time by me.

    I am now aware of the cosy sanctum that my fellow ILites spend time in ,when enthusiastically replying to a post or leisurely reading a blog.

    I would like to thank everyone who took time to post their pics , comments and above all providing a glimpse into how they have made their houses as homes.
