TONIGHT!!!

Make sure to watch as Eric battles it out on the season premiere episode of HGTV’s Showhouse Showdown!

Not only will you see the Vastu co-owner in his element (designing fabulous spaces), but you’ll also get to see how one of our own uses many of the same products you can get here at Vastu!

So tonight at 10PM, gather your friends and family around the TV, or set your DVRs, and cheer on Eric and Vastu!

That’s all that’s left until the series premiere of HGTV’s new program, Showhouse Showdown.

Designer Eric Kole talks on camera about his design approach.

And as you may have read, Eric Kole was tapped to participate in this show where “two professional interior designers take over two newly built houses with mirror-image floor plans. The designers will compete head-to-head by creating five signature rooms in each house using identical budgets and on the same schedule. Keeping the stakes high and the designers on track will be host Bob Guiney. In the end, there is an open house, and one designer will be crowned the winner based on the votes cast by the developer’s target market.”

Promotional Flyer From Live Taping

The houses were designed and built by Van Metre Homes out in Aldie, VA. On July 17th, they gave 100 lucky people the chance to be part of the show as they toured both showhomes and voted on whose design they liked more, Eric’s or the other designer’s. Even with the live taping, however, we won’t know who won until the show premieres on  Monday, September 12th at 10PM!

Check out what we just got in yesterday to the showroom!

Bulb Incalmo Vase

Tube Top Vase

These glass vases are made in Portland, Oregon and come in different sizes, shapes and colors to suit your fancy. The larger ones are the Bulb Incalmo vase and the smaller ones are the Tube Top vase. And as the only retailer in the DC Metro area to carry these, you can be sure you’ll be taking home a unique and fun piece of glass art.

We’re definitely excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to share more details with you, so stay tuned to the blog in the coming weeks and, as always, thank you for being supporters of Vastu!

Chloethiel Woodard Smith (1910-1992)

Birthplace: Peoria, Illinois

Notable Works: Harbour Square (SW Washington), the National Airport Metro Station, the Waterview Townhouses (Reston, VA), and “Chloethiel’s Corner” (the corner of Connecticut Avenue & L St. NW)

Chloethiel Woodard Smith was an American architect and urban planner whose career was centered in Washington, D.C. She designed many commercial, government and residential projects are the metro area and was influential in proposing a national museum to celebrate buildings and architecture. That building became the Pension Building which was renovated and continues to house the National Building Museum today. By 1967, Smith ran the largest female-run architectural firm in the United States.

Emily Ehrens, a Design Clique reader and TTR Sotheby’s International Realtor, just recently informed us that an original Cloethiel Woodard Smith home is now on the market in Bethesda, MD.

For more images and information, read below!

This Gorgeous (with a capital “G”) 1966 home is spacious, full off natural light, yet remains secluded with its romantic wooded lot. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 1 half bath, this tribute to mid-century modern architecture would be the perfect place to house the great furnishings and decor we offer at Vastu.

For more information about this home, contact Emily Ehrens or send us an email here and we’ll pass along your information.

Even better, the pillow cover is eco-friendly!

“The chair has been sewn using ecospun felt , which is made from recycled water bottles, except for the red seat cushion, which is natural wool felt. ( sustainable resource).”
