Bathroom Floors

I love colors in Indian outfits and accessories but not so much in my work wear. Most of my staple work clothes and the interiors in my house are neutral in color. It's no surprise that the floors we choose are not in some vibrant cobalt or crimson. That being said, I love to add colors in our home by means of cushions, art work or other knick-knacks.

Did I forget waking up at 5:45 every single morning by herself and getting to the bus stop on time? She also won the "Stride for Excellence" award in Choir. After seeing her performance in the Disney show, we have no doubt she deserved it. She rocked the stage like a star.
