Hi! I am back from my holidays and am a bit excited!
In this post I will feature the house of a designer couple Chaitali and Anando Banerjee and their little son Dhruv. This Delhi house of my sister-in-law Chaitali, a textile designer, and brother Anando, a game designer, reflects an understated elegance. The furniture have been deliberately kept minimal to allow a lot of open space. The elevated ceiling, open staircase and low seating add height to the room.

Do not miss the beautiful red and gold hand embroidered curtain
The focal point of the room, of course, is the bling staircase!!
An ornate mirror reflects the other corner, adding depth to the room....
The blooming garden on the rooftop...
The charming duo is very popular among friends and this terrace garden often transforms into a party venue in the evenings!!
Chaitali's workshop overlooks her colourful garden. The bright flowers in the outdoors inspire her creations on textiles. Her specialities are printing, hand-painting and embroidery on sarees, dresses, t-shirts, jackets, skirts and even furnishings. She mostly retails from home, but one can catch her at exhibitions at the embassies and other such venues.

Chaitali and Anando's artistic sense and an eye for detail could be noticed throughout the house-- whether it is their embroidered curtain, or lamp shades,door knobs or hand-painted cabinets....

I thank Chaitali and Anando for allowing me to showcase their beautiful house. Do feel free to leave a comment. We all would appreciate it!
By the way, my fortnight long holiday was quite rejuvenating as I spent time with my parents, my brother and his family-- I specially treasure my time with my nephew. I went on a shopping spree with Chaitali and also bonded with an old school mate and some relatives! So what else do I need?
Ciao....
