hi aie this is Sonam and welcome to my Mumbai home come on in actually welcome back this is the second time we're doing [Music] this so this is my um little meeting room uh my desk it doesn't usually have these kind of flowers and all on it but I obviously did up my room and my house a little bit cuz you guys are like coming and I just wanted to look nice you see those glass paintings these are all like when China was trading with the with the mugal rulers at that point they used to
come and do these little Chinese glass paintings of the mugal very few queens and princesses were painted and these are all the Chinese glass paintings that I have of that time which I thought was really beautiful this is a pitchai the Pai is a craft that is in India which I'm sure everybody knows about and this is all painted on a fabric so everything that I have in this house is kind of collected over time and I don't want to spend too much time in each room cuz I can go on and on talking about
the [Music] room so welcome to my living room this is where I do the most entertaining and hanging out and where all my friends come this is one of my favorite rooms that I've ever lived in it's everything it's like all my fantasies come to life the reason I went so so Indian and so maximalist I just wanted a lot of layers was because this was a very new building I just got really overwhelmed by coming to this like very modern building and I was like how do I make it like nostalgic to who I
am and I just went NAD every wall over here is hand painted so it's very rare to find like double heighted ceilings in Flats in Mumbai and I was like really lucky to have this we bought these Naga pieces which added the drama and accentuated these ceilings a lot and this is a piece of art that makes me really proud this is a jar uh Shaw it's very very old this was gifted to me by my mother I use it as a throw and sometimes when I'm cold I pick it up and I put it
around me it's like the ultimate luxury that's my M where all the fun stuff happen do you guys want to drink in the middle of the day okay this is actually an old Indian baliti or in Translation it's a bucket these btis were used to like basically have a bath with so I use it as a v in the house and I kind of love it I love hosting and feeding people I think it's like the the North Indian in me who likes to just like I love feeding people I love having people over this
was something that I've always wanted in every home where the dining and the kitchen is always like a big focus of mine so it's always amazing this is my little supari box every time after a meal we like pass this around the one thing that I love about this room the artifact and the art these are old tablets of Ravi Varma that they used to make the lithographs out of like little prints out of oh my favorite piece actually was gifted to me by chii DOI or like everybody knows Mahindra DOI he made this for
my little baby vu and I love this this is something which is a collectible and I and I love chicky um should we go into the kitchen which is my favorite room in the whole house I keep saying that every room is my favorite room but this is truly my favorite [Music] room I love coming to the kitchen a lot I use the kitchen a lot I love baking I love cooking so this was something that was really important to me where I have a beautiful space this room is inspired by Del Styles I had
this artist called shibani I told her to put Indian flora and FAA and birds and kind of design my whole Kitchen in a blue and white I have this little like space that I love these pocket doors these are all bespoke and made pottery from Bangalore these are like these kards that I got made again all hand painted and handmade and all by Indian artist Artis let's go upstairs into uh our private space which are bedrooms come [Music] on I'm taking off my shoes uh because we don't wear shoes in upstairs in the house so
I'm bare foot from now on guys like I didn't want any part of my house that did not have design these lithographs were actually made during the time of the East India Company where they came in and they basically Drew scenes of India and I had vikas take inspiration from these lead hoses and kind of paint the staircase inspired by these lethos so welcome to my guest bedroom I did this with my mother-in-law in mind because she grew up in ajir and I wanted her to remember that so I had these pomegranates and she can
think about her home there but like this is the guest room where my friends stay on my in-laws stay when they come to Mumbai I want to talk about this chest this is basically for a desk it's a it's it's a writing chest and I keep it open cuz it's so beautiful inside and it has this little key that makes a little bell sound which I think is beautiful but this is just like a show piece right now which I have in this room and I love it do you want to go into my son's
[Music] room so this room was designed by Anusha nanavati who specializes in children's rooms so I decided to do this whole room as a jungle in color and this is painted uh by Vias and everything is made of Teakwood and Cane I knew when I was making his room I wanted to get these like big animals and I picked up like this lion and this giraffe this elephant this like little dog which is he calls Jack was my mom's dog is Jack and every night when he sleeps he's like good night J good night elephant
good night lion good night Jack and he sits on that chair which is this like little tiny chair which my friend rad actually designed for him and it says valou on it so the last space is my [Music] bedroom when we were thinking of Designing this house I remember sending my Massi it was in an old lady it was sher's bedroom in her bedroom she had this like beautiful old Joka as her headboard and we kind of use that the as a focal point of the room and we started with this headboard and then the
rest of the Joka is to cover my TV cuz I don't like to see TVs so we shut in before we go to sleep so that the television behind that my gorgeous dressing table is over here when my son falls asleep I quickly have my dinner and I just go into my bed after obviously a hot shower and just relax [Music] whatever I know about art whatever I know about artifacts is because of my Massi the only briefers to me I want lay over layers and I kept saying no we can't do this no but
we can't do this and she said no we can do this and you will do this I'm not going to live here she's going to live here so she should be comfortable in her own space this is not my house it's her house I'm only there as a [Music] medium so thank you for coming home ad and I'm so glad I could show you around and I hope you enjoyed my home do you want to have a cup of tea now [Music]
