I am so excited to feature Top Chef host Padma Laxmi’s East Village apartment featured in Harper’s Bazaar India. Her home, much like Padma herself, is sophisticated, sexy, tasteful yet simple. Some of you may have seen these over at AT and may have read the negative comments that readers made. I wont get into details of the controversial nature of those comments, you can read them here. I think its great that she opened her home to us.
I like open storage – here – the shelf replacing the wall cabinets, the pot rack and open pantry- and I would love to cook in that dress!
oh and of course I have to say it – I love the swing- its for the little kid in all of us. I dream of a swing for two on my patio.
Oh why can’t my closet look this tidy and organized?
apparently this is her assistant’s workdesk
love the dress and the brick walls. anyone know where her bedspread set is from? I wouldn’t mind my artist friends gifting me a painting of me. I would hang it in my husband’s office. 
never underestimate the importance of a good safe. I really need to get one. my mother has a fireproof one to store jewelry and important documents like passports etc. SMART!
I know I have been obsessed with these uncharacteristic glass jars, but they are so handy! I used the small glass spice jars from Ikea to organize my jewelry. They are clear and contained which makes tiny earrings and rings easy to find. And will save me so much time in the morning.

We planted blue hyacinth bulbs in our front yard Sunday afternoon. I hope they survive the rains expected next week. Have a productive week ahead.

Remember when I talked about the premier issue of Harper’s Bazaar India? And how I was literally dying to get my hands on a copy? Well…. I was super duper excited when the mailman delivered a diamonte studded copy yesterday!
Thank you so much Jyotsna for arranging to have it sent to me. You are awesome! Jyotsna Uppal is co-founder of White Champa eco-friendly fashions.

Have a great weekend. xoxo
Lately, I have seen several home office designs on design blogs. I’m amazed at how efficiently people use their spaces. I keep imagining the creative minds at work in their cozy offices. Inspiring! I’ll be sharing some that stick out later this week or next. Needless to say, I would absolutely love to work from home, though maybe not all the time. I wouldn’t ever be late. I could wear whatever I want. But I would miss the interaction with co-workers – the lunches, the happy hours .. An occasional home office maybe. So what would my home office look like?
To start, I need plenty of sunshine, and big windows looking out to nature. I would like several work stations. How awesome would it be to wake up 10 minutes before start time, slap on a pair of jeans, fresh flowers from the garden, turn up the music, make a fresh salad for lunch, go for a run, endless pots of coffee and tea…
This image from BHG is very similar to the space I have in mind minus the decoration. I’ll share my decor inspirations soon.
Would you like to work from home? Could you get motivated and stay focused? What would you home office look like?
