Its
Holi today. India's festival of colour. The shy are dragged out of their homes by boisterous relatives and friends to be dunked in water and colour. And much revelry ensues. The next day its interesting to see remains of colour on formally dressed people in office. Perfectly manicured nails are tinged with telltale red. What fun!

Wiki's Holi page has this pic & I really liked it- Krishna playing Holi with gopis.
In this post since I'm not really into showing people on this blog, I will show rooms drenched in colour. Brace yourself guys, this is a saturated affair.

Colours from Africa

Morocco

And this though colourful is so sane

I am not brave about using color in my home but I always drool over them anyway. Great finds!! Especially the pink one, which I think is in Liza Bruce's house in Jaipur.

I loved the room in total pink with pink cushions and yellow mattress. Lovely colours!
