Flickr finds: Striped carpet
Inspired by this tweet from the residents:understood team, we went on a little search for some great shots of interior designs that include a striped floor covering. What do you think?
Downtown Dwelling
Vastu co-owner and interior designer, Eric Kole, assisted his client in creating a warm, comfortable, modern place to call home in downtown DC – and he wasn’t afraid to use a little color! The floor-to-ceiling windows really made the bold color choices pop, making the rooms vibrant and inviting.
Prints Charming
We’re excited to bring our amazing customers a new lamp collection that offers a number of printed silk shade options. And by a “number” we mean about 325 (yes, you read that correctly).

“I really like the idea of wallpaper in a bathroom, but I’m a little nervous about wallpapering my own half bath. I wanted it to be nice since it’s the bath the guests will use, but it’s a little on the small side… I was hoping you could help me with whether to go for a bold printed wallpaper or a textured one? Cover all four walls or just the one behind the vanity? Or the one behind the toilet? Help!”
Bored with your room…
…reupholster one (or two or three) of your upholstered pieces of furniture. Perhaps you have a sofa, lounge chair, ottoman or some dining chairs that could use a little face lift. This is a great opportunity to bring a new color or texture into your room.

“Please take a look at our courtyard. We have this long gray wall that is so ugly. With your experience, what do you think we should do to hide it? I was thinking long flower boxes and a bench or something. What do you think?”

Flickr finds: Hey, it’s Vastu!
So we stumbled across a picture of someone standing in front of Vastu on Flickr, so we decided to see what would happen if we searched for more on the popular photo site. The results were some really fun, interesting shots that have Vastu in the background so we thought we’d share some with you. Who knew?!?!
The fire is so delightful…
EcoSmart Fire has introduced the Synergy Series – four new outdoor designer fire ranges. They are the same dimensions of four of the most popular indoor ranges, but the Synergy Series fireplaces have been made with heavy-gauge steel surrounds, an extremely durable, weather resistant material.
