A labor of love. I'm helping out dear friends, a newly wed couple decorate their honeymoon nest in Business Bay. This weekend was spent furniture shopping, paint and curtain purchasing and selecting materials for their new one bedroom home. Keeping the budget in mind, we hunted bargains at Dragon Mart and IKEA while taking advantage of the Dubai Shopping Festival sales.

Believe me, I did not notice the time, I got so carried away by the fun of it all that I briefly forgot I was pregnant while meandering through the maze-like  shops of Dragon Mart.

My ulterior motive for offering them a free service is to practice my craft and reconnecting with my love for home design. 

Happy decorating and a lovely weekend to you all!

Love and light,

Arni

We were invited to attend a wine and cheese party hosted by EGE and Kvadrat Maharam. Their creative studio is a visual treat for designers. An evening of fine wine and delicious cheeses was a great finale after a hectic day.

One of my favorite things to do that never fails to cheer me up when I'm down, is browsing through furniture shops.  Being surrounded by home ware, furniture and accessories always light up my spirits and give me a shot of enthusiasm.  Energy levels elevate with or without a shopping bag upon leaving the store.
