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!
I really enjoyed reading this celebration of old things there’s something timeless about how treasured objects carry stories and memories across generations. It reminded me how much a book can do the same, preserving moments, emotions, and knowledge long after they’ve passed. For authors trying to capture that kind of depth and meaning in their work, thoughtful publishing consulting services can help shape those stories into a form that truly resonates with readers. It’s wonderful to see beauty in history and storytelling recognized in different ways!

Just like antique pieces that hold history and character, a well‑written book can preserve ideas and experiences that resonate long after it’s written. For modern authors looking to share their own stories, researching the best self publishing companies can help ensure their work reaches readers while honoring that tradition of storytelling. Thanks for the thoughtful post!
I really enjoyed how this post celebrates old things and shows that age and history can add so much character and warmth to a space, not just new trends. Last fall I had one week when I had to do my online course work late at night while fixing up an old desk I found, and that taught me how satisfying it can be to care for things with history. Your post reminded me how beauty often comes from stories and memories that grow over time.
I really enjoyed your post about celebrating old things and how you show their charm through thoughtful design and stories, because it made me notice beauty in everyday details I usually overlook. It took me back to a busy week when I even needed take my online exam help so I could finish my work before diving into creative inspiration like this, and that balance helped me stay motivated. Your post makes old pieces feel full of life and meaning.
