Love and Gratitude...Happy Thanksgiving!!

"The earth laughs in flowers"
                       -Ralph WaldoEmerson

What a lovely thought 
to start 
a brand new week...

Frangipani...blooming and beautiful
just outside my bedroom window
 can't ask more from life...:)

"We often take for 

GRANTED
the very things
that most 
DESERVE
our gratitude."

                          -Cynthia Ozick

Thank you Lord for everything...

My husband
our children
our family
and friends
good health
and mental peace...

Thank the Lord for everything!


Happy Thanksgiving!

African Canoe Safari

On a beautiful sunny December day
an adventure loving couple and their two little kiddos
busy exploring the nature...

amidst the tropical rain forest
at the heart of Singapore... 
Yes, snapshots from our fun filled Christmas holidays :)

bushes and hedges,

Orchids : Tropical Opulence

Charming purple 'Phalaenopsis Orchids'

a touch of nature's (tropical ) beauty...

can make wonders to any regular space

by importing a sense of  colour, warmth and elegance.

A glimpse of  Singapore morning...
Enjoy  spring at your part of the world.


Have a lovely week filled with colours and happiness.

Tropical Living...'Inside-Out'

I love to favour spaces that blur the boundary between inside and out...yes, you got me right, I am talking about the magical  aspects of  'Tropical Living' !

Vibrant tropical colours are so much more emphatic against a neutral background.  The open plan, relaxed, flamboyant 'Asian Tropical Living' is just appropriate in today's life. It is purely natural and organic. Effortless and elegant at the same time.

It is the 'Ultimate Harmony' that makes a 'Tropical Home' so special.

The interconnection of 'outdoor courts' with 'indoor elements', the natural and ornamental 'oriental style' works beautifully with an 'indoor-outdoor tropical home'.

A strong classical Thai feel is achieved here by using high quality silk fabrics, exquisite 'Thai bencharong' dinnerware and antique Thai artifacts.

Whereas the neutral background with a hint of wild 'Orchids' provides a delightful 'Tropical Accent'.

P.S.   A lot of things goings on at the 'real world', hence the sporadic posts.  A little bit engrossed at the brick and mortar level. Once again a big Thank You to all my family and friends who came to 'Singapore Furniture Design Week, March 2012'.
