So now that we are in the house, it is time to make it our own. We have already done a smidge of work in a few rooms but our priority is definitely getting our bedroom set up. While Dave and I were peeking around Pinterest one day, inspiration came in the form of a print of Lord Shiva, one of the holy trinity of gods of Hindu creation. My husband spent a semester in India as a student so his love for the culture runs deep. I started practicing yoga in high school and have always felt spiritually connected to the subcontinent of a billion - the colors, the spices, the faces and the servitude just dazzle me. So when Dave and I decided to get married, our first choice was to elope to India and have a traditional Hindu ceremony on the River Ganges. Well... that didn't happen for various reasons. So now we are looking forward to our first trip together this March - we will celebrate my 28th birthday on Holi while making the actual trip for Dave's 30th birthday present. While we are at it, we will renew our vows (better late than never!) and spend three days in Nepal.
Back to the bedroom.
Our bedroom, we decided, would the the perfect room to saturate in Indian patterns, textures and colors. How do we do it in genuine way, though? Without using cheap Pier One, Indian-style stuff from China? We agreed that color and pattern were going to be everything in this design challenge and that playing off one would light the spark to make the whole room burn in Bollywood bliss. So here's the spark - two Indian rugs that we picked up from Marshall's for $16.99. It is a start to our spicy Indian bedroom, hot pink and all.
