Glamorous Powder Room - Makeover

This is the smallest room in our home and is the most glamorous one.....!!! When my husband and I bought our little cove, we made a lot of changes before we moved in. And redoing the baths were on top of the list. The small downstairs powder room was one place I wanted to experiment and go bold. So, I chose a dark wine color paint. I really love the way it all came together. The sink was the first piece that I liked and ordered on amazon . Then built the rest of the look around it. Finding the vanity for this sink was a challenge. I could not believe myself when I found this curved vanity in an store. It fit right in. Perfect...!!

It stated that the company required young, bright engineers, hardworking and with an excellent academic background, etc. At the bottom was a small line: 'Lady Candidates need not apply.' I read it and was very upset. For the first time

Banff national park

This was an unexpected detour that we took on our trip to Vancouver and Edmonton this summer. I could not believe that this out of the world place was 2 and half hours flying distance from SFO. We can actually go back for a weekend trip. woah... When you are in the lap of nature, you forget your fears, worries and get a new perspective on how you look at life. This was such a place....it comes alive only for few months a year and is essentially covered with snow rest of the time. And when it is alive....you can see how so many elements work together to make it the place it is. The sides of the freeways were covered with white Daisies, the waterfalls flowing down from up above the mountains. And those mountain lakes..........were serene !!!!!!!!! Each lake has its very own shade of blue tint to it. Every turn on the road is picture perfect.... One of the many things that my grandpa taught us was, it is important to learn the history of a place. It gives a lot of information an
