As John Robshaw says, "When you look at my textiles, its like you've been on the world tour along with me." And when I got a sneak peak into his new Manhattan apartment, I felt the same. It is a house of much travelled collector of all things beautiful. And in the ensemble of those pretty things, there is a John Robshaw touch. When I admire a designer's work, I sub-consciously long to see how his/her house is (such is my madness for interiors)...like how he lives, what colors he has chosen for the walls, the bed linen, the artworks, the kitchen....And wherever his personal taste is reflected. So you can imagine how delighted I must have been, when I found Elle Decor's edition online carrying the photographs of John Robshaw's two-bedroom New York apartment. His long association with India and other Asian countries is reflected in the fabrics, dhurries, crafts and the overall decor of house. It exudes warmth and has a lived-in feel to it. I was too happy to see how the Indian mooda (stool made of coir fibre) has been used as a side table in the living room and to stack books on in the study (I do the same). Of course, all the fabrics and upholstery that you see in this house is by him only and I have been in love with John Robshaw Textiles, for a while now. Now I will leave you alone to feast your eyes on John Robshaw's beautiful house (and don't forget to google his images if you haven't seen him yet!)

| I simply love the desk and the color of the walls. The vintage rug is from India again. |
