I covet

cov·et/ˈkəvit/

Verb: Yearn to possess or have (something)

Every now and then, I see 'something'......, in a store, on the internet, in a magazine, in someone's house, or on someone...; and in my head, I'll say, I WANT IT.....! At times, its easy for me to own that 'something' ....but such instances are few. More often than not, its not possible to possess what I want, because of one or more  of these reasons-

a) I may not know where to get it from
b) Its beyond my budget 
c) Its not logistically possible to get it 
d) I may not have an appropriate place to keep it
e) It does not go with the color scheme in my home
f) I may own something similar and I don't want to waste it

......or any other reason. I mean, c'mon, I can never get everything that I want....but there is no harm in coveting. Hence, I decided to use my blog to bookmark and catalog all those things that I covet.

So listen all you people, who love me, and want to give me a gift anytime in the future, you can refer to this series of mine and always take some ideas.

Let me start by sharing a few such things today....

Lamps made of woven twine....these would look lovely on top of my bookshelves.


The cutest clothes hamper I have ever seen....don't you agree?


This rug would be like heaven under my feet....



The perfect lamp for my family room side table....I wonder if this can be a DIY?


This embroidered gudri bedspread from Fabindia....perfect for my guest room


A set of these on my kitchen wall....gorgeous!

Are you coveting something lately? Share them here in the comments below or send me an email.....maybe we can covet together:)

  7. I love the elephant clothes hamper, and I am attracted to the white elephant clothes hamper, which i saw in the site, he is so cute, cute. I also like the bedspread of Fabindia, maybe I could go and check it out at the FI near our home. I won't have the heart to use that elephant hamper, he is too good for that.
    Yes there are many things, but we must find the right place for them. I still have so many paintings to hang, but i am not finding the right place to hang them,or the right way to organise them, so they are still lying unframed. Sometimes I find myself cluttering too many things together, because I hate to keep them inside, where they would remain forgotten.
    Thanks for sharing all your wants with us.
