The center of our house is the family room. We spend most of our time here. I love the brick fireplace as it feels very warm and rustic. The duree here is from my trip to Mexico and it compliment s the cushions which were bought in Urmul, Rajasthan. The little kures pasted on the mantle are from Dilli Haat in New Delhi.
Stepping into this room feels like a quiet embrace, a tranquil moment tucked away from the bustling world outside. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of a traditional Japanese breakfast room, bathed in the soft, diffused light that filters through both traditional and modern windows. On the left, a classic shoji screen panel with its delicate paper and wooden lattice provides privacy and a gentle glow, a timeless element of Japanese interior design. This contrasts beautifully with the large, multi-paneled window on the right, which acts as a living frame for a breathtaking view of an autumn garden.
The eye is immediately drawn to the vibrant outdoor scene. Beyond the dark wooden frames, a lush backdrop of trees in full autumn color unfolds, with fiery reds and oranges mingling with deeper, more subdued tones. It’s a quintessential view of Japanese fall foliage, inviting contemplation and a connection with nature. The subtle warmth of the sunlight catches the edges of the wooden table in the foreground, where a modern touch is introduced by a smartphone resting casually, alongside some neatly folded napkins. This small detail grounds the timeless setting in the present, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
The room itself is minimalist, dominated by rich, dark wood tones from the window frames and floor, providing a strong, natural foundation. The walls are a soft, neutral plaster, allowing the intricate details of the shoji screen and the vividness of the outdoor landscape to truly shine. The low-angle perspective from inside the room further draws you into this personal, reflective space, making you feel as if you are seated there, ready to enjoy a peaceful morning meal while soaking in the beauty of the changing seasons. It’s more than just a room; it’s an experience of quiet luxury and natural beauty, perfectly encapsulated in a single frame.

"It is a bright new day
The sun is on its way
Looking through my window
I stand mesmerized by the glow
I am gifted with a view
That is handed to very few
It glows bright green pink and red
And lights up my little world
Yes, It is a bright new day
And I wish one your way….."
The chairs here were bought from a Chinese store in Atlanta. The are replicas of chairs used in parts of China during weddings to seat the bride and groom. I love the way they compliment all my Indian things.
The Rajasthani musical instruments are essential in making music more melodious and often the the songs are incomplete without them.
“For three centimes I can eat, drink, and wash my face, all by the means of one of those slices of water-melon you display there on a little table.”

This was a Pooja at home. The Durga painting was a gift from my mother when I moved into this house.
