This is not really a food post. All of my posts have been food-related but I thought it was time to do something a little different, sort of an ode to my childhood home. It’s funny how you never notice things about the house you grew up in until you leave and return after a while. I did not visit Rhode Island for 6 months, which is the longest I have gone without visiting my parents. This time, I saw all the little details that I overlooked before.
I live in an apartment full of mostly new things, there’s very little character there because I know it’s not the home I will settle in forever. (I have “stolen” some pieces from my parent’s house, but shhhhh!) My home in Rhode Island is full of artifacts (although, some could use a trip to the local dump) but others that are priceless and make my house unique. I feel my childhood home is almost museum-esque. Here are some little glances into my home. Hope you enjoy them.
for the love of yum 
Love this Nadia. As you know, I think it’s fun to go off-topic sometimes. Your family home has some gorgeous pieces, but I can tell you guys have sense of humor as well. The Ali Baba drawing in particular made me giggle 🙂
Enjoy your visit there. Bring back some good family recipes for your blog 😉
Thanks, Bria! I was actually scared of the Ali Baba picture as a child. 😉
Lovely Home! Pics are wonderful! Like Bria I like the Ali Baba painting…is that an antique cappucino maker?! Cool!
Thanks, Sara! I think that’s an espresso maker. It probably could be considered an antique because my parents have had it for as long as I remember :).
Nice house, I like especially, the decorated mirror and the chair.
Thanks!!!
Very nice Nadia:)

Is there no end to your talent…..great photos and great ideas…your home is indeed unique and with great vibes
Thanks very much for the great compliments, Nishat Aunty!
aww this made me sentimental , nothing like the home of your folks, the smells the comforts and the thing is one notices all that once one has moved out. The pics seem straight out of an interiors magazine mashallah. So familiar and homely for as well considering the amount of time i have spent there 🙂
thanks, tannsssssss!

for me as well sorry
You are so GREAT at what tou do…keep it up! Did you know that you are an inspiration for many that read your blog? i hope so!
Blessings!
Thanks so much, Lucia. I do not consider myself an inspiration and am not worthy of such a great compliment. I just write up recipes and cook for fun 🙂
great pix !
Thanks, Laviza!
Very nice pics ! Great memories in that house 🙂 Hope to be back soon inshallah
Yeahhhhhhhhh, mahaaaaaa
Your family’s homeis so beautiful! And so full of fun things that I’m sure have memories attatched. Your pictures are lovely. I have to say, it actually made me really sad to look at your pictures because my parents recently sold our house and moved to a stark condo.
Thanks so much, Katie! I get a little upset when my parents bring up the topic of selling our house. Even though I don’t live there anymore, it’s still considered home. I am sure it must have been tough for you to say goodbye to the home you grew up in. Condos are never the same.
Great post! It’s fun to mix things up from food:)
