White Elephant Haveli: Haveli Eat-in-Kitchen

http://whiteelephanthaveli.blogspot.com/2008/09/haveli-eat-in-kitchen.html

Friday, January 2, 2009. Directly off the Haveli Mudroom. Is our Eat-in-Kitchen where we eat most of our meals. At the centre of the room are four heavy, heavy wooden chairs with iron-work backs and a cherry-coloured table with a surface comprised of old printing blocks used to stamp cloth such as sari borders. The variety of the table surface is incredible, as can be seen in this accompanying detail. At the centre of the table we have placed a lotus flower carved out of marble, from Haveli Home. Above t...

White Elephant Haveli: Haveli Living Room

http://whiteelephanthaveli.blogspot.com/2008/09/haveli-living-room.html

Saturday, September 20, 2008. Our living room is the largest room in an open-concept house and is viewed centrally when one enters the foyer. This is consistent with the concept of the chowk. The central space in a traditional haveli. It is thus suited to be the showcase of White Elephant Haveli. There is also a panoramic view onto the backyard. All of this demands attention to decor. Originally, our living room was kind of minimalist contemporary, with Salema couches from EQ3. Originally, we simply want...

White Elephant Haveli: Haveli Dining Room

http://whiteelephanthaveli.blogspot.com/2008/09/haveli-dining-room.html

Saturday, September 13, 2008. We already had a dining room table and chairs, purchased from Rural Roots. In London, ON when we first moved into our house (see left picture below). It was, as they put it, an example of "upscale Canadian handcrafted wood furniture," and was the only piece of big, real wood furniture in our home. This ultimately took the form of an apricot glass vase ($39) from Harmony Crafts in Guelph, which we filled with peacock feathers (2 for a dollar) obtained from Maharani Emporium i...

White Elephant Haveli: Haveli Mudroom

http://whiteelephanthaveli.blogspot.com/2008/08/haveli-mudroom.html

Thursday, August 28, 2008. Here's the mudroom today:. We originally decided to redo the mudroom because it was the smallest room and thus wouldn't be a costly project. What ended up happening was that the mudroom project sparked an interest in redecorating the entire house in the manner of a Rajasthani haveli. The first items we purchased were the altar table and the mirrors above it, all of which are antiques from our friend Sorab at Inde-Art. In these places, every inch of space is decorated. Takin...
