From now until................'Kingdom Come', I shall be singing heavenly praise to the wondrous, beauteous, indespensible & iconic Indian Sari. Not solely for the fact that it continues to be the preferred garment in an everchanging & increasingly cosmopolitan India, but also because of its variety, versatility and synonomous connection with the colour & vibrance of the Mother-Land. In terms of sari uses in the home..........well, where does one start and finish? The Maharani simply lives, loves, dreams and breathes the equisite yardage.
The Sequenced 'SARI-CUSHION'
A Palace staple 'Par Excellence'...................
but lets now give devotion to a bit of 'Sari-Heaven', in it's other incarnations..........
The 'SARI-CURTAIN'. Fancy & fabulous,
in any room & in any fabric.
The 'SARI-TURNED-RUNNER'
Covers tables, cabinets,&
other un-glamorous surfaces.
The 'SARI-FOR-FRILLS-&-THRILLS'
Maharani's day-bed.
Love is in the billowing detail.
Fallen out of love with an old cupboard or book case ?.............don't fret............a simple white sari can refresh, glamour-fy & add panache. A few antique upholstery tacks, some rudimentary folding & tucking skills & voila!........20 minutes later, you've got yourself an elegant, new & distinctive look.
Intricate sari embroidery.
Plainness is not acceptable
in the Palace!

Too pretty to step on, unless wearing your silky socks..........but nonetheless, worthy of a Palace interior....................
Now that we've paid homage (& shall surely return to this topic at a later date) it's time to adorn yourself in a magnificent sari, lay back on your sari-clad, day-bed..........rest upon your soft, sari-cushions and dream of what you'll do, with your next 5 1/2 meters of heaven.
Sari, Sari on the wall......
