My Dream Concepts...

Ever since i discovered Olioboard, my addiction to creating concepts have increased two-fold. These are some of my concepts that I would love to see in reality.

A Warm and Cosy Bohemian Bathroom with a fine blend of the old and the new

 

A Breezy country bedroom in blue-green colour scheme for a perfect summer experience

An extension of the farm into the kitchen with a traditional European touch

Can a Halloween party ever be more orangggy in this Living Room??

This is the colourful bedroom of a Newyorker sports fan

A refreshingly inviting pink lounge for the cancer awareness camp

A teal technofreak's den

A welcoming brick and yellow foyer in achromatic accents

I hope you all liked these concepts. Do write to me if you are particularly looking at re-creating something at your home or office. 

All concepts shown above are created by me using olioboard.

Design Challenge at COMMON GROUND...

Hi Readers !!!!

I am very happy to note that Debra who blogs at common ground, has come up with a new feature of providing home decor solutions through her blog using the blogger community. Here is how it goes...

Anybody looking for some design solutions for their homes can send in pictures of their walls, furniture or rooms to common ground. This will be responded to by the blogger community. They can then decide what is the right solution for their problems. I highly appreciate debra's thought process and the desire to help.

Great Going Debra!!!!

Winners of the Mood board Contest !!!!!!!

My sincere thanks to my friend Catherine Turnbull, who was kind enough to judge this contest. Catherine is an interior designer by profession. Although a Mechanical Engineer, her passion for interior designer led her to choose this as her profession. Her extraordinary creativity and sense of style can be seen in all her works. Don't forget to check her website here.

Here is what Catherine says about the contestants and the boards.

"Well, the judging is complete. This was incredibly tough as everyone who entered has done a fabulous job. I had to really study the boards looking for the combination of elements and how they were brought together. Please tell your readers I believe they are all winners. I was incredibly impressed.I arrived at a decision by picturing the rooms. I wanted to understand how they would look and feel. With the top boards, I was able to walk through the room in my imagination".

When I put up this contest, I was not really sure about the response I would receive and so I was only planning for one prize. But now, I have decided to part with 3 prizes as it has been a wonderful experience putting up this contest. 

Winners list:

First Place - Harshita Dakoju Tegi (co-blogs with Patricia at at Coloursdekor)

Second Place - Black Board  - Arabian Night  - Kamini Raghavan (blogs at saffronandsilk) shared by Harshita Dakoju Tegi again

MOODBOARD CONTEST......open to all...

Hi all,
Many of my students and people who know me from the ID field know how mad I am about creating moodboards for my projects. I have atleast a minimum of 100 handmade mood and sample boards at home. Every time I am bored, all I have to do is just flip through a few boards and then I am all geared up to make some more.

I have always used picasa collage to create some digital moodboards for my clients. My happiness know no bounds when Kamini of Saffron and Silk listed a few online resources yesterday on her blog. Thanks a ton Kamini. As I was scrolling her blog, I found out about this website http://www.olioboard.com/ which is very user friendly. As I quickly put together a moodboard, I realised it was almost efffortless. That is when this thought about hosting a MOODBOARD COMPETITION surfaced my mind. I request all my readers to take part in this. This will not be judged by me. I am looking for a person specialised in Interior Designing to do this. This ensures there are no biases. The rules of the competition are as follows.
