Styling Session at Good Earth!

That was a wonderful evening:)-with the designer Pavitra Rajaram Sharing the tips of styling your home and your dining table for your guests.Although she says a gorgeous white table cloth is a must ,she also tells us that you can play with colours.It was within minutes that she created magic on the table and her quick DIY tips were amazing.

Those included some brown beads on the table and some old patch work beneath the bowl to create a christmas effect and runner made of the same cloth.Also the golden cadbury dairy milk in the quarter plate along with a photo of Gayatri devi and her husband with quotes written on it and the table spreads were as simple as cloth bought per metre from the local markets of Delhi.!Voila and the spread is ready..
