The foyer gallery wall

We recently gave a fresh coat of paint to our home. So thought of creating a new look wherever possible. The first wall under attack was the foyer wall where I thought of putting together all the Ganesha frames. 

As we got down to the placement, felt it would be a good idea to add other interesting pieces such as brass knick knacks  and a pair of  handmade mirrors. 

These mirrors are from an artist turned entrepreneur. Ashi Rastogi has an Amazon shop called handmade buzz from where you can order the same or shop for similar handcrafted decor pieces.

Another addition on the wall is a wooden handcrafted shelf from pepperfry. I keep changing the pieces on the shelf to create freshness around home.

This gallery wall is also a testimony to the various art and craft available all across our country and my love for these.

Let me know how you like the arrangement. Will be happy to hear from you. 😊

Meanwhile, keep checking my instagram account for regular updates and to watch reels that has caught the world by storm.

Festive vibes

Ganesh Chaturthi wishes to all.🌸🌼🌸

Every year I try to create a special Ganesha corner in my home during this time.

This year I gave form to Him using rice grains.

This is my way to thank Him for all the million blessings in my life. 

The process is simple. You can take any wooden base, ( here I re used an old roti maker) line rice grains in the form of Ganesha, use his favorite flower like the hibiscus to enhance his trunk and line up the space with lamps and more flowers.

In this way, nothing is wasted. After the festival is over you can use the same rice for cooking too.

Are you enjoying the image? Tell me in the comments. Shall wait to hear from all of you.

Another simple manner, to create his presence is thru rangoli or kolam. We usually draw rice Paste rangoli. This is my representation of Him 🙏

Some more Ganesha corners in my next post. Stay tuned. Happy festivities everyone 😊
