As a child, you never have a say when it comes to choosing furniture or upholstery in your house.But now, we were renovating our house & that's when mom put this responsibility of choosing new furniture on my able shoulders! :P Destiny had it & had Bombay Store recently launched their furniture collection, making it a one-stop shop for home styling needs and thus, I paid a visit! :)

| The beautifully decorated furniture at the Store. |
Here we were, warmly welcomed by the
smiling and ever-attending staff and I was looking forward to having
a good time .The lilting music in the background, beautifully
arranged furniture added a whole nice touch to it.
Bombay Store looks small, but upon
discovering the store,it's a different world out there. A world of
elegance,classy artefacts and many more things.
Coming to such a place, you tend to
generally look at the price tag of the furniture. But after talking
to, Sandeep, one of the people from FORMS, Furniture company based in Nagpur, who tells me, it is exclusively hand-crafted furniture , good
quality teakwood being used and around 750 craftsmen behind these beautiful pieces like Side-tables, chairs,
sofas,couches, centre-tables and beds, we tend to ignore this fact.

| Victorian Chair |
Having a close look at the furniture
which were spread out at different areas in the store, it had an
elegant & classy touch to it. It is contemporary yet has an antique charm to it. One of the chairs there, called the 'Victorian chair' took
me back in time. My grandfather's house had a similar chair & thus, brought a big smile on my face.
I am a big fan of abstract art and
that is what I exactly found in these furniture.Try sitting on the
chairs, it is too comfortable! Until, I had to get up,cos' I had seen
just the half of the store.
It was a special occasion for Bombay
Store for they were launching furniture, thus making it a one stop shop for
all our home-styling needs. 'Better Interiors' magazine was also
present there and it's 8th edition was unveiled by the MD,
Bombay Store – Asim Dalal alongwith the Better Interiors editor, Ms.Rupali Sebastian.

Overall, it was a good event and a
pretty good move by the Bombay Store to shed their 'antique' store
image and get all modern and contemporary. For a first-timer like me,
it was quite a good experience and my perception of them being an antique store changed drastically.Do visit, whenever you are free!
You know, it's a good furniture launch
when you enter curiously and leave with a contented smile. :)
