About purplehomes
I love colors. I adore pretty patterns. My heart skips a beat when I enter a paper store. I so very enjoy putting together parties. I am detail obsessed. The sight and smell of fresh flowers makes me go crazy. Teeny weeny candles make my evenings. I can't stop myself from visiting flea markets. The smell of vanilla makes my day. Gorgeous studio pottery is a big part of my life. I am always, yes! always in the middle of redoing of my home.
And that is what made me start this blog five years back.
About me
I am a design and food blogger from India and have very recently relocated to Dubai.
An MBA by qualification I said goodbye to my corporate career six years back. Back then, I decided to surround myself with two of my biggest inspirations, food and design. I write about design at purplehomes.blogspot.com and then took it a step further by launching art prints by purplehomes at purplehomes.co.in. The blog is rated as one of the top design blogs back home at India and has been appreciated by media as well.
About my food journey, my favorite place in the world is my kitchen. When not cooking or feeding, I like to pen down my experiences with pots, pans and people on my food blog, Orange Kitchens.
Along the way I got some great opportunities like writing design stories for magazines, studying and pursuing my first love, studio pottery and working as a business consultant with two very enterprising women, founders of Women on Wings.
Now I divide my time between running artworks by purplehomes, playing food consultant and ofcourse writing for various design & food publications.
I have a very loving and supporting husband and an adorable four year old daughter.

Came to your blog from the Prismma article on kids rooms. When reading the article it kinda felt like as if you've read my mind. I have used almost all those ideas in my daughter's room.
