A Designer's Home

I'm always fascinated to see into the homes of creative people. I've often found that their own homes are creative, eclectic and always inspirational. There is almost always an interesting use of colors and patterns that really pop, and a wonderful blending of decorative pieces from different periods. 

Here is a sneak peek into Athens-based graphic designer, Tomy Karaiskos' home. I love the subtle use of color on a mainly white canvas of white colored brick work. Also love the light, airy feel of all the spaces and the interesting art work and graphics.

Teekhii Chhurii

With Teekhii Chhurii brand, Pooja Ajmera aims to breathe new life into Sanjhi, the traditional art of paper cutting. This self-taught paper artist and entrepreneur painstakingly creates beautiful art work with incredible patience and skill- and all by hand!

Pooja discovered her love for paper cutting only last year, when she wanted to gift her sister-in-law a special birthday gift. Once she discovered her passion for this art form she never looked back. 

Aside from standard pieces that are perfect items to brighten up a home, Pooja also does commissioned, one-of-a-kind pieces that are ideal for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. I think her work is really interesting. I love the playfulness in some of her pieces and I particularly like her work in black and white. 

Take a look...
