Style at Home - December 2007

Liberty Village Locale
Haveli Home & Decorative Arts, a new store in Liberty Village, has a lot going for it. It's near Atelier Thuet's toothsome takeaway food and epic breads emporium, and the new digs of Casalife 2. Plus, it has that all-important holiday commodity: free parking.

Indian Rosewood
Haveli is redolent of shesham wood from India, which is where the goods are from. Prices are low, and the style factor is high. To wit, horse-motif painted end tables are $275 each, and a coffee table with ironwork details is $175. A huge chapati rolling pin, $12, makes for an enigmatic object.

Great Gifts
Come here for off-the-beaten-path presents, like Lotus plates in marble, $25 each, a sari-wrapped handmade-paper photo album with decorative tassel, $32, hand-blocked cotton bedcovers in muted colours, from $65 each, or a patchwork pouffe with shell and pompom detailing, $175.
