After 27 years of living in assorted places (my parents' home, college accommodation, hotels, transient flats), I finally have a home to call my own for the next two years in a brand new city. I'm inspired to make it bright and beautiful, warm and efficient -- a space for my husband and me to live a joyous life.
WHAT?
The plan is to learn and become really good at running a home: from cooking and doing laundry, to organizing and fixing things, to decorating and managing finances.
WHERE?
A compact, semi-furnished second-floor apartment in a small South Asian city on the coast.
WHEN?
December 2012 to December 2014
WHO?
I work (luckily, mostly from home). I love spending time with my husband. I read all kinds of books and enjoy intelligent television shows. Greenery makes my soul happy and high-heels make my soles happy. I occasionally come up with forced puns. (Consider yourself warned.)
HOW?
The idea is to explore all kinds of resources, and see what works. Websites, blogs, DIY guides, craft books, cookbooks, advice from my mother and mother-in-law, common sense, and whatever else is available.
SO?
This blog is meant to track this daunting journey and collect the best domestic tips and tricks I discover -- a collage of interesting things, a space for ideas and inspiration to flourish.
