Hello folks! It's been a really long time since I last posted something here. This favourite place of mine is so neglected at times but today I am going to make it up. So gear up to visit one of the coziest and warmest homes I have come across. We shall knock on the doors of Momi Mazumdar Mukherjee and her family in Mumbai. Before walking into her space here is a little into how we met up. The social media has been a place where I have made friends with some wonderful people. Momi is one such person; talented and warm-hearted. I would always get drawn to her colourful home whenever she posted snapshots of her home in the social media. My wish to see her home grew so strong that one fine day, I requested Momi to show me her home! And the lady obliged! So here it is; a beautiful home of a happy family. Here's some of her thoughts and her HOME :-D......
Style is a personal sensibility which happens; effortlessly, without a thought put in; in everything that one does... Eat, sleep, play, love, dress, travel, cook, live and all other verbs in between.
It is an extension of our beings and personalities.
The more staged it is or borrowed, the more short lived it is and less easy and comfortable it gets.
My innate style of living would fall into a lot of categories : classic, arty, bohemian, preppy, shabby chic, country, contemporary or a mix of two or more depending upon my mood.
Our each house has looked different and has reflected our experiences, our emotions, our travels, our latest hobbies and gifts from friends who travel or create or just remembered us when they went shopping.
This time round I have felt minimalistic in nature, to do away with clutter (organised please), to do away with excesses, unwanted, and the bright hues which I generally love... Because that's how I feel.... Blame it on the aging process 😀 or maybe just attaining nirvana 😇
Space in the new home has also helped ... After 13 years of living in Hotels or 2BHKs in Bombay, we definitely take space seriously and worship the fact, that we have it now.
So nothing is new really, a mix as always from Chor Bazaar, Good Earth, Local stores of places I visited or stayed in, Fabindia, Ikea, CAC, Freedom Tree, art exhibitions, Artists' studios and the roadside.... Just with a change of colour palette.
The durries will come in the second phase or when I feel the need for the home to change a bit, or when I like something... The whole process has to be organic.
So that's us; Mahika, me and Basav in terms of space.
P.S. : The smart people judge others by their shoes; the smartest, judge them by their home.
Well, Momi, thank you for that compliment! I am smart :-) :-).... People, wasn't that a gorgeous home? I loved everything about this home; like I said before, warm, cozy with a lived-in feel. Thank you Momi for taking us into your home :-) and showing us around.....
