Summer at Vastu
Summer officially started two days ago and along with it comes great new outdoor pieces from Vastu.
Whether or not you want to spend any time outside in the awesomely oppressive heat and humidity is up to you… If you’re brave enough to face the elements, however, you might as well fill your outdoor living spaces with beautiful outdoor furniture.
Direct from Italy, outdoor lighting from Flos
As we announced yesterday, Vastu is now an authorized Flos dealer and one of the cool things to come from this internationally-renowned lighting company is the Flos outdoor line.
With floor lamps, pendants, wall lighting and sconces, and even path lights, we now have the products to (safely) illuminate your patios, terraces and decks.

Classic designs in the Richard Schultz Collection from Knoll
We first learned of Knoll’s acquisition of Richard Schultz in February and have eagerly anticipated the official release and it’s finally arrived. In addition to our other great outdoor lines, the pieces from Richard Schultz are as beautiful as they are functional for outdoor use. In a variety of styles, materials colors and textures, we are pleased to be able to offer you these amazing designs.

The 1966 Collection + Petal Coffee Table
We’ve been busy adding other outdoor lines to our website as well, including one from a leading French outdoor furniture manufacturer, so if you haven’t been to our website in a while definitely check it out soon!
Summertime, and The Livin’ Is…HOT
With heat advisories lasting well into the evening today, we’re not advocating you spend a whole lot of time outside. However, we shouldn’t allow this summertime heat to completely deprive us of enjoying our outdoor spaces (if you’re so lucky to have one). With that in mind, check out these great outdoor pieces…if you can handle the heat, that is.

Happy 1st Day of Summer!
It’s official. Summer is here. Never mind that DC has been experiencing summer-like heat for weeks now…
Let’s start the day with some great images of contemporary outdoor spaces.

“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?”
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.
