Arabian Homes

The contrast between western  (English, American etc.) and Arabian homes is very obvious. All nationalities have individual styles and Arab styles are particularly unique. Here are some examples:

Arabian House

Most Arab houses look like this. The boxy, castle look is quite usual here. I'd say 90% of the houses in Bahrain look like this one, maybe in a different color or size.

Inside a Grand Arab Home

I'm not saying this is the "typical" look inside an Arabian house, but the style is definitely similar. Big carpets, lamps, wood and patterned furniture are some of the icons you would see in a home here. The ceilings are occasionally patterned too. There is often a big room in the center of the home that is reserved for guests and entertaining. Most Bahraini homes would have a picture of their King in their central parlor. Most houses also have two kitchens, one for everyday cooking and one for food that smells when it is cooks. This "greasy kitchen" is outside the house, near the garden.

Pillars Inside a House

Another example of Arabian decor would be pillars inside the house. Some other nationalities might use this too. I guess it is a way to create another room... without a whole wall. It is also quite pretty!

What do you think of the Arabian home style?

A Winter Outfit

We are approaching winter and no matter what weather it is you can always be fashionable. I live in Bahrain now and we also have "winter" here and people love the winter fashion. (But to tell you the truth, the temperature only goes down to 10 degrees celcius) So I am going to create the woman's perfect winter outfit.

Sweater Dress

These dresses are cute, chic and perfect for cooler weather. Depending on the color and design they can pass as fancy and casual.

Sophisticated Winter Boots

I'm picturing these boots with a sweater dress and it looks fab!

Long Wool Coat

This coat's length will go past the sweater dress and right above the boots. The grey wool will go with anything.

If I was older I would definitely wear this outfit.

Let me know what you think!

Rag Carpets

In Kampala there is a shop called Kampala Fair that makes beautiful clothing and carpets out of African materials. I have one of the carpets in my bedroom. They make these carpets out of the scraps leftover from making dresses, and it probably takes about 3 weeks to make a big one. These carpets are truely magnificent, they really make a room.

Let me know what you think. I will try to put up pictures of my new room as soon as possible.

P.S: I am going away for the holidays so I may not write for a while.

Creative photography

There is a woman from Finland that became famous from creating a different world around her daughter while she is asleep, she uses anything she can find around her, amazing...

 I emailed these to my friends and family, and all the adults said that they wished that they had done this whith their children while they were babies. Isn't it a great idea? Check out her blog here, she does more things like this with or without her baby. I find her imagination so inspiring.

Bubbly Bean Bags

I think bean bags are the most comfortable things to sit on. No matter what position you are in, they agree with you. And they are also a wonderful way to add vibrancy to a room. Believe it or not, there are 8 different kinds of beanbags, so lets take a look at funky, fashionable, and fabulous bean bags.

Beanbag Wedgie

So I never thought that there could be so many different types of beanbags. I like the Slab the most because you can lie down on it, and if you fold it, it can just become a normal beanbag. Which one do you like?

Bits and Bobs!

You can either spend all your money at once on something really expensive that you use for a long time, or spend little amounts on little things every now and then. I like doing both. But today I will talk about the little bits and bobs that you can get, to make you happy.

Kiss Kiss Bandaids

I would not mind having these on my knees at all! Whenever I put a bandaid on I think "But the colour of bandaids are so ugly!" I guess these are my new solution!
