A studio to dream about…for sure



Haworth Tompkins ( a London based firm) renovated a dilapidated old building on the Devecote Studio campus, turning the space into a one of a kind workspace.

I recently came across the work of illustrator, Andrew Farrow via one of my favorite inspiration blogs ( Raney Town). Andrew is a really amazing illustrator that has work shown across so many mediums, including print publications, installations, patterns, and even typography. I’ve found his work to be not only eye catching, but extremely detailed and fun to look at.

In Their Home // Design Love Fest







Let’s take a look into the living space of Bri from Design Love Fest. From what I can gather from Bri’s blog and her style is that she’s one little firecracker with an amazing sense of color. Her home/loft is a perfect reflection of her ability to put together rooms that are pleasing to the eye and it’s proof that she’s not one bit afraid to use color in her home. The images in this post were taken by Bonnie Tsang and the shoot was styled by Emily Henderson.

Stepping Away / A Guest Post over at The Flowerchild Dwelling

Hi guys, for the first part of today I’m over at the sweet Kelly Ann’s blog, The Flowerchild Dwelling. She was needing a few moments to step away from the computer and asked me to share something. I’ve been dying to post about this one particular Dwell home and what better than now, since all I can picture is Kelly Ann living in it and me visiting every weekend 😉

Stop by and say hello!

Quilts of Gee's Bend

If you’ve been following this blog since its start about a year ago, you’ll know that I once attempted to start quilting. I love the look of seemingly unorganized patchwork and I thought it would be a fun hobby to get into. Being the impatient person that I am, I found the task to be a little too overwhelming and tedious for my liking. Knowing how much patience and skill is required to bring one of the beauties to life makes me appreciate them even more than ever.

I came across the top left quilt via Pinterest which led me to a plethora of quilts by Gee’s Bend. The variety of color and pattern in this catalog is just amazing. Take a look for yourself!

Brian's Eye for the simplest of simple




I have recently been following Brian W. Ferry’s work and loving everything about it. Like me, he tries to capture the everyday simple moments that come across his camera’s lens. Him images capture all the perfect lighting and angles to turn those everyday simple objects into something really amazing.

Inspired by Mark Weaver / curated by Amy Moore

I would love it if everyone stood up, clapped their hands, did a twirl and ate a cupcake as they welcome Amy Moore to the Veda House blog as a regular curator of inspiration. I’ve been following Amy’s blog, Strataflora for some time now and just adore how well she can put together snippets of inspiration. Every Thursday, Amy will share with you something that’s been inspiring her in hopes to inspire you!

“Hello Veda House readers! I’m so excited Cassie has asked me to contribute to her beautiful blog.  I regularly share art, photography and design on Strataflora, and my column here on Veda House will be a mash up of those things. Hopefully I can introduce you to some new artists!  This week I chose Mark Weaver’s art to share; he puts his work together as an assemblage of different pieces, which is one of my favorite ways to communicate a story.  I think the double exposure effects with added graphics give his work a futuristic and ethereal look that I can’t help but gravitate towards.  I hope you all enjoy it as well…if you want more, he has a multitude of lovely works in his portfolio. Check them out! ”

Please give Amy a warm welcome, stop by her BLOG, and check out her deign PORTFOLIO.
