A celebration of things – especially old things

A few of Bala's pieces: an eclectic, artsy and quirky style


I’ve always had a passion for collecting things. Some may call me a hoarder (don’t trust them! :), but I believe old things should be valued, because they are someone else’s stories. If you are open enough or creative enough, everything has a purpose.


Moreover, doesn’t it just seem like a horrible waste to produce vast amounts of flat pack furniture when we can give another life to an old, existing, well built and meaningful piece? If not for this poetic reason, it should be for the sustainability. To give you an idea, Britons throw away 300,000 tonnes of reusable furniture each year, according to RSA and SUEZ research in 2015. This needs addressing – and I hope in a very small way Bala can be part of the solution. So it’s easy to understand why I decided to create Bala in the beginning of 2018. Bala is a celebration of the things I love – and the things I am yet to discover. So why that name? Because, apart from sounding really cool, it has a number meanings: ‘candy’ in Portuguese, ‘powerful’ and ‘young’ in Sanskrit. That simple! It’s exciting to bring this to life and I hope you enjoy it too!

Really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes perspective in this post. Many people see the final portrait but don't realize how much planning goes into lighting, positioning, and creating a comfortable environment for the subject.

When people write about creative work or share detailed experiences like this, clear storytelling also matters, which is why some students working on personal statements or creative reflections sometimes look for a Premium University Application Essay…

I think old things carry a special kind of charm because they hold memories and stories from the past. Whether it’s an old book or a piece of furniture, they often feel more meaningful than something brand new. It also connects to how we value learning, some students may look to Buy Psychology Dissertation support, but real understanding grows when we engage with ideas over time, just like appreciating the history behind old things.

This post was lovely because it celebrates old things and the stories they carry. I remember helping my family clean the attic and finding furniture full of memories, while I used do my assignment during a busy study week. It made me value older items more. Sometimes history lives inside simple objects.

This is an incredibly helpful guide to cracking the wallcovering code! Breaking down the selection process into the three core pillars of color, pattern scale, and texture makes it so much easier for anyone to visualize how a room can be transformed without feeling overwhelmed. I especially love the insight on how vertical patterns can effortlessly create the illusion of higher ceilings, and how textured materials like grasscloth not only hide wall imperfections but also offer natural sound-dampening qualities. The way you articulate these design principles is so clear that it could easily serve as foundational material for anyone studying interior architecture. For design students or scholars inspired to write a formal research paper on the psychological impacts of spatial…

A celebration of old things often highlights the charm, history, and memories attached to objects that have stood the test of time. I think old items carry stories that connect us to different eras, making them more meaningful than just their physical form. Preserving them also helps us appreciate craftsmanship and heritage. In academic contexts, some students may consider buy Psychology Dissertation service, but developing independent research skills and critical thinking is far more valuable for long-term academic growth.
