Interior designer + consultants: Nainesh jain Designs
A little bit of creativity, clean harmonious lines, no clutter, a little light and sometimes a lot of light do the magic for Nainesh Jain Designs interiors.
And the result is sometimes breath-taking, at times pleasant and in perfect order and sometimes dramatic!
Don’t guess! The live coals on the table have to be lights!
The fairy-tale bedroom!

This post is salutation to those designers who create stunning designs out of day today waste and other small little things to inspire me!
What is day today life made of?
A lot of waste occupy space in everyday life in form of plastic and omg! – newspapers (I am always accused of keeping newspapers till ‘the newspaper pillar’ touches the roof!!); so I am happy to discover these designers.
And a little greenery and small buttons also cheer me up!

Nahui Ollin is a collection of unique and fashionable handbags and accessories made from recycled materials – by specially folding and weaving candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels–together to create the various beautiful shapes and sizes
ALL materials are factory rejects from independent manufactures and have never been used. These same materials were certain to be sent to a land fill or garbage dump only to pollute the earth more!

I have been to NMBA’s gallery again and again and have downloaded few bamboo structures, pre-fabs etc. I just needed an excuse to showcase these images!
And I am particularly enamoured with this bamboo structure!

I read this news today about biodegradable plastic here. We have been reading this kind of news and in fact there are bio-plastics (1, 2, 3) in the market. But they are for specific use, or expensive or at least still not available as everyday items.
When plastic will become bio-degradable plastic?
I will be celebrating Earth Day in truest of sense when real bio-plastic will become as common place and cheap as plastic!
Who is going to join me then?!
(for almost 2 hours my server was not greening at me at all!! Hope that it behaves green for the rest of the day!)

An outdated telephone handset (exception: still very much in use in India) recycled into a lovely single-flower vase. The vase is water sealed and cut on an angle.
Material: Recycled plastic telephone handset
This Earth Day I want to share, communicate, say and salute quite a few things!
And when I start posting with a plastic vase I do not just mean recycling. I want to say something else!
Stay tuned and please keep coming back!!
(I am going to do many posts today!)
