Textures of India

 

Guys, I cannot even begin to describe my trip to India.  It was much different from I’d imagined, but in a good way.  I had visions of ‘Slumdog millionaire’ with kids clamoring to the car windows on each outing from the hotel.  I was informed by a colleague that had I been in Mumbai, that might have been the case.

In Delhi, there was a distinct flair for beauty and culture, a little european influence, and lots and lots of traffic.  Since I was there for work, I didn’t get to tour around or see a lot of the spots most would probably want to visit, but I did get to see a fair amount more than I usually do on business trips.

As you can see from the snippets above, I was just overtaken by all of the amazing color, texture, and materials that surrounded everyday life in Delhi.  I do have a ton more photos, but thought these beautiful examples of the culture through color and texture were a great display of my visit for you all!

Have a BEAUTIFUL Monday!

Local Color: Stone

LOCAL: Chichen Itza  COLOR: Stone – Dwell Studio Pyramid Mirror

Waking up this morning in Mexico was just splendid.  After a hearty breakfast, we’re heading off to Chichen Itza where allegedly the spring solstice is the best time to view the ancient ruins.  If Mayan ceremonial sites aren’t your thing, you can still marvel at the beautiful Pyramid Mirror from Dwell Studios.

Well, I’m off!  See you guys back here tomorrow for Friday Faves!

LOCAL winter trees with crystal white snow. COLOR stunning lucite trunk from Jayson Home and Garden $1395

 

Boy, do I love waking up in a ski town (makes me miss living in Colorado).  I am so excited to be heading out this morning to ALT summit to not only learn more about blogging from some of the best in the business, but also to enrich my creative side and meet some blog friends in person!  I hope to come back with a crazy new amount of knowledge that I can use in this blog to make it better than ever!

Have a COLORFUL Thursday! (not a color-less one like the trunk above)

Local Color: Vibrant Peach

On Sunday I spent some time at my favorite local farmers market stand and picked up the last of their summer goodies! The color of these peaches is so vibrant and saturated, it inspired my hunt for something more permanent in the same beautiful hue, like this tea towel from Katherine J Lee.

The fruit is reminiscent of late summer, but those colors are quintessential fall! Such a beautiful place to be!

I hope your Tuesday is BRIGHT and SWEET!
