I know I have been MIA for quite sometime. I am back now and time to concentrate on the blog seriously. I was supposed to feature Meenakshi Vij’s home in Florida way back, but somehow things didn’t seem to happen then. I guess, it’s better late than never.

Meenakshi Vij is an IT professional and is passionate about interiors. She loves doing up her home with all the treasures she has carried from her travels.

“We bought this house 1.5 years back when we got married. It was an empty house and we started with few things that my brother gave us. Garage sales, gifts from family, trips to India made this house a home…. My husband is awesome in suggesting and helping me decorate this house. He will look for things and suggest where they should go. Our home is an effort from both of us which is the best part,” says Meenakshi.

Come; let’s walk through her favorite nooks and corners.
