My sister and I share the beautiful tradition of decorating our Ammavaru every year. While I tend to go big with grand, over-the-top ideas, she’s not too far behind—she always has something special up her sleeve. The entire process of planning, brainstorming, sourcing, and bringing our ideas to life that takes a couple of months has become such a meaningful bonding ritual for us. Our chats are buzzing, inspiration images fly back and forth, and it’s a whirlwind of creativity and excitement. I’m truly grateful for the madness, the chaos, and all the love that goes into it.
Here’s what my sister put together this year—and as always, I’m in awe of her eye for offbeat color palettes and how effortlessly she makes them work.
