It’s never too early to expose the little ones to timeless design. Etsy shop, TinyModernist, sells professionally finished, Mid-century inspired children’s clothes and accessories. These are great for the offspring of Mid-century modern fanatics.
Milan: The 4 W’s and a P
Vastu co-owners, Jason Claire and Eric Kole, recently returned from the annual Milan Furniture Show and touted that they could sum up the show with 4 W’s and a P - white and walnut, wallpaper, wall systems, and purple. Vendors from all over the world were showing off furniture in white lacquer (high gloss, matte and even textured lacquer), walnut and purple finishes. A number of booth installations included wallpaper with large patterns and bold colors and/or wall-mounted shelving and storage systems.
Here’s a look at these trends in action!

Hello,
Months (and months) ago I accepted a 40″ square piece of glass, thinking I’d make myself a dining table for a small office space. Well, I have done nothing with the glass. My DIY aspirations died when I realized I didn’t really know what I was doing or what I should use as a base. Do you have any suggestions on what materials I should use? Or where I should go for materials?
Thanks!
What do you think?

Some kind words
At Vastu we work diligently to ensure a positive customer experience for all clients. When we find out a client enjoyed working with us we’re elated! It confirms for us that valuing clients and their needs will always be our top priority.
We recently had a client write some very kind words about us and ask that we post his comments on the blog. To the customer – thank you for your kind words. Your support of our store is GREATLY appreciated.
“After purchasing my first condo, I was eager to get my new place furnished right away. I mistakenly thought that I knew what I wanted, and that I could figure out the best options on my own. In fact, I was convinced that I could purchase everything that I needed on the internet. Boy was I wrong.
After stumbling into Vastu and talking to a designer for only a few minutes, I realized that I was way out of my league. They came up with ideas for maximizing space in my small condo that I never would have (or could have) thought of in a million years. They patiently worked with me in selecting items that I loved, but that also fit within the general scheme that was so carefully mapped out. Importantly, the folks at Vastu were sensitive to, and even enjoyed the challenge of, working within the bounds of my limited spending abilities.
Since my purchases at Vastu I have gotten follow up e-mails and phone calls making sure that I’m happy with my decisions. They have conveyed to me additional ideas for accessories and designs. Store owners Eric and Jason have even given me guidance on artwork that I’m considering for my walls. It is extremely rare to encounter a business whose owners and salespeople truly care about your happiness with the products they sold you, long after your credit card has been swiped. My experience with Vastu has reminded me that the simplicity of purchasing items on the internet cannot compare to the value one receives from in-store, real life, personal relationships. Years from now, when it’s time for me to move into a new or bigger place, there’s no question that I will have the people at Vastu take care of all my home furnishing and design needs.”
