Interview with my mom: Our vision for Maa-Kal Boutique Canada and a few other thoughts

  1. What is Maa-Kal Boutique Canada's style?

If you like, traditional, classic home decoration style, our pillow covers will meet all your requirements. They will spice up your home and life and will never be outdated. Each of our pillows is a piece of fine craftsmanship, is made with quality fabric, has the same fabric on both sides which will make the pillow cover more durable.

 

  1. What makes our cushion covers special?

Our cushion covers don’t follow trends. They are unique, original, sophisticated and elegant. They are a sign of your classic and sophisticated lifestyle but will also add some coziness to your home. If you want to transform the look of your living room, bedroom or any other room, just change the cushion covers. Our luxurious pillow covers will upgrade your room and take it to the next level without having to break the bank.

 

  1. Why buy quality pillow covers?

Pillow covers are like bed sheets or table clothes; good quality cushion covers allow you to use them, clean them, stock them for a while and use them again and again according to how you want to feel and how you want your home to look like.

 

  1. What does your home represent for you?

Did you know that your home is a reflection of you? From your house architecture to your home decoration objects, wall colors, artwork, furniture and appliances, everything reflects your personality and who you really are. I have seen future home buyers stop the viewing of the house at the front door just because they did not like the way the house looked from the exterior. They did not like it and decided to go to visit another house right away. But once you have chosen your home or your apartment, make sure that the interior shows a little piece of yourself. Your home is one of the things that you have control of. Make it yours! Use your power to make it what you want; then look at it, be proud of and feel good and comfortable. If having a lot of stuff around you such as books, family gifts or legacy pieces with sentimental value make you happy and comfortable, keep them. It is not necessary to follow Marie Kondo rules if you don’t have space issues. Even if you have space issues, you can still find a way to organize your space and keep stuff that makes you happy. And you know what? You can do it without spending a fortune. Life is short! Be happy, comfortable and safe in the only place that’s yours and means so much to you!

 

  1. What makes you happy in your everyday life?

Personally, little things make me happy: clean my house, cook for myself, family and friends, watch TV, shop. As you can see, most of what makes me happy is at home. I like to stay home and enjoy my space; and think about, what paint color will I be buying next for my next home improvement project, what piece of furniture I need, what light needs to be changed. I like to switch things around an create a new environment without spending to much money. Cleaning is a relaxing activity for me. Sometimes when I’m cleaning, I find solutions to issues that had been in my mind for days and weeks. To make it easier for me, I deep clean one room at a time instead of one entire floor. By the end of the week, the entire house is clean.

 Cooking is another activity that I enjoy. I like to make everything from scratch with fresh ingredients. But I don’t cook everyday. Most of the time I cook 2 different meals during the weekend for the whole upcoming week and don’t have to worry about my lunch at work.  After a long day at work when I’m back home, I just have my dinner, watch my favorite TV show and go to bed. Yes, I love shopping even if I don’t always buy. When I’m down, stressed, unhappy, guess what? I go shopping. I don’t need a lot money to go spend time in my favorite shops.
