We’ve been off exploring the subcontinent all week, checking out where Madonna Shops in Mumbai and creating our own Gandhi-Inspired Bedroom and Turmeric Dyed Tablecloth. Next, we’ll be exploring approachable minimalism: think simple (plus warm and livable). Meanwhile, for your weekend amusement, here are a few things we’re loving.
