Nice home :) I admire the musty look on the walls. Somehow they blend with everything in the room. Personally, I am not bold enough to keep this look in my house as I am a complete neat freak. Those walls tell the story of many years of being alive....so much remind me of those old rest houses. I wish they also added colour like her.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous space, Lakshmi! Thank you for posting. Which issue is this in? The article date reads May 2011. I'll see if I can get a copy from the library - I'd love to see it in print!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I love the walls.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stuff on the walls...wish they had taken close ups...I am not sure I like the walls...not sure, if it is painted that way to give an old wall look...or it is all the water seepage and wall going musty...hope it is the former...
