Gather Round
The pretty little breakfast nook in Shilpa's Oakland home looks peaceful and inviting with a table from MDF Italia, chairs from Target, and a ficus tree she inherited.
When asked about the story behind the tree, Shilpa tells us, "I had the good fortune of taking care of our family dog, Hidey, at the end of her life."
"I was able to give her the same love and attention in her old age as she was able to give me in my youth. I was heartbroken when she died. So we planted the ficus tree in honor of her memory. It’s been growing and blessing us for 12 years."
