Goa is a state of mind. A slice of paradise. A house for the body, a home for the soul. The Goan properties featured below are thus introduced on Airbnb. Unseasonal showers in Bangalore today; the famed Bangalore weather is back, it can’t get more romantic than this, and I can’t help but dream of a vacation. We’ve been to Cidade De Goa and Dona Sylvia in the past. Most properties in Goa are drop-dead gorgeous, but the ones below are also inspiring for their decor. Now, isn’t that a bonus as you soak in the sun, the sights and sounds of the sea, the swaying palms, the feel of the sand under your feet, and the colors assaulting your senses? I can never seem to have enough of a coastal vacation. Let’s begin our vacation..if only virtually! This house is listed as one with spectacular views of migratory birds…
BBC Good Homes hosted a bloggers bonding event at Bangalore yesterday. It was a wonderful afternoon and I must say, it’s been a while since I’ve met so many lovely, talented ladies under one roof. More on that in an upcoming post…
It’s not even been two weeks since we got back from a holiday and I’m already looking forward to the next one. This is what happens when you look at exotic destinations and picturesque, pristine white beaches all day. So, I’m thinking I should stop posting for a while because gosh it’s so hard!
Just as one’s mood changes, there is a shift in design sensibilities too. Right now, it’s all living-only-with-the-essentials for us. Bare white walls, greens, open spaces, lots of sunlight and fresh air cheers us up. So, when I’m in the mood for simplicity, I shift to either the Nordic region or zen living for inspiration; when color calls, nothing can beat India; when it’s rich colors with craftsmanship and a royal feel to it, Mediterranean comes to mind. Today, home beckons. So, let’s go to Dar Al Masyaf in Madinat Jumeirah (via June ’12 issue of Go Now). What I loved about these pictures was a brilliant design lesson…coming up next.
Dar Al Masyaf is a summer resort n Madinat Jumeirah. The property houses private two storeyed villas separated from each other through waterways and accessible through a dedicated abra. And, then there’s the lush green landscape, to take you away from the concrete jungle of the urban living.
