Thank you Bon Appetit!
If you happen to be flipping through the pages of Bon Appetit’s September issue you’ll see the Bulb Incalmo vases available at Vastu featured in their “What to buy now” shopping list (on page 52 to be specific). We just want to say THANK YOU to Bon Appetit and the team there for including a Vastu product in their amazing magazine. We greatly appreciate it!
Congratulations to…
…Leesa – our August “How Do You Vastu?” winner!
We’re offering Vastu clients a chance to win a $50 AMEX card each month for the rest of 2010.
In the month of August we asked you to share pictures of your sofas or sectionals, now we want to see your dining tables. If you’ve purchase a dining table from Vastu, take picture of it and upload it to our Facebook page sometime during the month of September for a chance to win the gift card. Good luck!

We’re in the Washingtonian!
A very special thank you to Washingtonian magazine (and writer Jennifer Sergent) for including us in the “Where Did You Get That?” home design guide printed in the August issue. In case you missed it, here’s an excerpt from the home design guide that mentions Vastu. We’re ecstatic to be considered a great home furnishing destination. Thanks again!

Look who was in House Beautiful…
…dear friend of Vastu, interior designer Liz Levin, and her Steven Anthony Milano sofa. Congrats Liz!
Bored with your room…
…change your lampshades! This great tip is courtesy of Jonathan Legate in his interview with Modern Bird Studios. It’s super quick and fairly inexpensive to make this easy update to any room. Great idea Jonathan!
We applaud Scott Roewer…
…for all his work in support of Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County. You may remember, we served as a denim drop-off location a few months ago to help Scott with his goal of collecting 500 pairs of jeans to be turned into eco-friendly insulation for homes built by the Habitat for Humanity organization. The reason for the number 500 – that’s the number of pairs of jeans needed to make insulation for one entire home. Well, Scott did better that 500 pairs, he was able to collect 657 pairs! 9 News Now featured Scott and his mountain of denim on Wednesday evening. Congratulations on exceeding your goal Scott. All your efforts have made a difference!
