What would you need to set up a balcony garden from scratch? That’s the thought that crossed my mind as I was looking for some affordable railing planters before deciding on making my own. Iron brackets are so hard to come by, and even if they are available online, they are usually priced ridiculously high. Working on this theme, this week’s post centers around setting up your balcony garden replete with essentials such as planter, potting medium, seedling tray and of course, seeds. The only outlier is the deck chair in terms of price. I’m fond of easy chair, but you could replace it with a cheaper alternative like a couple of cane modas  with comfy cushions for seating. 1. Colorful hanging terracotta pots for Rs.650 2. Walnut finish deck chair and foot stool from Urban Ladder for Rs.5499 3. Wheelbarrow planter for Rs.295 from Zansaar 4. Seedling tray from…

Good morning! I’m so looking forward to the weekend as it feels like this week has been going on forever and getting up every morning has been a drag. I’m continuing with the organizing theme this week as well. This stems from my urge to make the kitchen more efficient and reorganize the baskets. The kitchen was designed 10 years ago when I had no clue of what I would be using more often and how they should be placed. Over the years, the number of appliances have also increased which take up way too much cabinet space. But, all of this has redesigning has to wait another six months when I would have more time to execute the kitchen project. Until then, I’ll be pinning ideas :) 1. Fabio garment organizer for Rs.239 at Pepperfry 2. A stylish, antique metal box from The Bombay Store for Rs.512. I’m…

My love for pottery and stoneware crockery refuses to wean. A few weeks ago, the PR machinery of  Zansaar mailed me introducing Earth Stone – a collection of stoneware crockery including lamps, mugs, trays, bowls and shades in warm, earthen shades. The time browsing through the collection was time well spent; every cup and plate was something you can proudly boast of befitting its place in the kitchen. But, little did I know that half of it would be sold out. What a shame! And, I don’t see the collection any more on Zansaar :( Image courtesy: Earth Stone pottery retailed on Zansaar via mail On an unrelated note, did you happen to stop by at the new Mother Earth store on Varthur Road in Bangalore? The store has limited collections probably because they just opened a few weeks back. There’s something amiss here, probably the hustle and bustle, compared to…
