Wishing our sweet, not-so-baby baby of the house, Dayven, the happiest 15th Birthday! đ
In the first photo, thatâs Dayven on the right and his ever-steady older brother, Rohan, on the left.
If I had to describe Devu in just a few words: sweet, joyful, magnetic, expressive, and filled with just the right amount of cheeky mischief! đ The kind that brings a sparkle to his eyes and often convinces serious Rohan, to come along for the ride. Together, theyâve made a thousand memories I never want to forget.
Devuâs the kind of kid who makes a best friend in minutes. His ability to connect is rare. He lights up when he makes someone laugh, and carries the biggest grin when heâs fully and truly himself.
One of his most beautiful traits is his compassion, especially when it comes to animals. From lizards to dolphins to the way he speaks âcanineseâ with Coco and Gigi, thereâs something so tender and sweet in him that you donât just see it, you feel it. When you watch an animal feel so understood by him, it reminds you of what love looks like, when itâs effortless. đś
One of my favorite things to do is drag Devu into the creative world I love, the stuff Rohan jumps into without hesitation! But Devu on the other hand, greets with eye-rolls and dramatic sighs, ugh, I know - so painful! Holiday decorating, tablescapes, antiquing, pottery making. He resists, but heâs a good sport and usually goes along. And then, like clockwork, something shifts. He gets quiet, focused, deeply in tune. In those moments, I get to witness the joy of him getting lost in the process, creating, exploring, simply being himself.
Lately his sense of humor has really started to come out and his one-liners are spot on, and oh so funny! Part of me is so excited to see who heâs becoming. Like where did he get this funny personality from?!
But, then thereâs the mama part that just wants time to slow down, even just a little. 𼚠That maybe, somehow, we could hold onto this chapter a little longer. And hopefully we get to, with the lazy days of summer just ahead.
We love you, Devu. You are our baby. You are our heart. đ
The answer to what your Christmas decorations are missing is...
Ribbon!
This is the number one must have decor item to bring in the farmhouse French country feeling into your holiday decor, and specifically your Christmas tree.
At Village Antiques, we use this on every single project that we work on to create a huge range of style and feelings into your home.
Reasons why I love ribbon:
~ ribbon is the secret to French country elegance and holiday warmth
~ ribbons add softness and romance to your holiday decor
~ ribbons bring more than styleâthey add the heart of the holiday season
~ ribbons are the best value for creating stunning holiday decor
~ ribbons fill space beautifully, reducing the need for extra ornaments
~ ribbons let you refresh your tree while keeping it feeling new
~ ribbons evoke nostalgia, French country elegance, and timeless holiday memories
I know I'm promising a lot with just the addition of ribbon alone, but that's exactly what our trees miss out on by not adding a little bit of textiles and ribbon specifically into our trees
I've got great things in my home. It's not stuff that I want to throw away and neglect, but by simply swapping out my ribbons, a small investment compared to redoing my entire tree, changing out the colors and textures, creating some new groupings I can create an entirely new look with pretty much everything I have, except for my new ribbons.
So for all of these reasons, this is why ribbon is a must have in your collection and mine.
I encourage you to be curious. Start collecting. Start noting what you love and bring some of this into your home.
Now you may have some more questions of how do I use the ribbon? How do I work with it?
Be sure to keep in touch so I can show you exactly how to use all of this beautiful ribbon in your own holiday decorating!

Here's what a Thanksgiving table looks like in the Verma home đ§Ą
This Thanksgiving, I went simple, tasteful, but of course a little glam!
I'm thankful for you, my boys, Bobby Neal, our precious Coco, and all the little ways that we can bring cheer with special touches of decor like this.
What's your Thanksgiving table looking like this year?
Hereâs how to style a stunning Thanksgiving tablescape from Fall decor to French country elegance!
The formula is simple:
1) An unexpected textured table runner
2) One big fall floral arrangement
3) Small dishes to load velvet pumpkins into
Bonus points for checkered pumpkins!
Fall decor on your kitchen table, especially when youâre expecting guests, can feel daunting, but itâs simple additions like these that bring your table arrangement from a 5/10 to a 10/10!
How do you decorate your dining table for fall? Is it more or less glam than this?
With Thanksgiving just days away, thereâs no better time to bring your vision to life. We only have one beaded runner left and enough velvet pumpkins for just a few more clients. If youâve been thinking about elevating your table this season, nowâs the time to make it yours before theyâre gone!
Feel free to call us at 713-468-3931 for quick help or stop by the shop today.
Gratefully yours and wishing you a cozy, joy-filled Thanksgiving,
Amitha
P.S. Spend $200 or more by Wednesday and weâll gift you a set of 3 luxurious provincial pumpkins â the perfect finishing touch for your holiday look!* While supplies last. Terms apply.

Serious question: Team solid colors or florals for spring???
This spring, we're seeing a resurgence of this oldie, but goodie color:
đđšDusty rose (aka Mauve) đšđ
It's one you either love or hate, so I'm genuinely curious where you stand!
We're experimenting with this shade a bit and I am finding myself more and more drawn towards it.
As a solid color, it feels like the perfect pop without going pastel or vibrant.
As a floral, it feels so romantic, like we've reimagined a vintage floral print, and added a sprinkle of the Golden Girls' panache đ
Solid color, florals, or no color at all???
P.S. Everything in this post is available at our shop Monday - Friday from 10:00am - 5:00pm
1200 Blalock Rd Suite 350, Houston, TX 77055
