Owner of J'Antiques Tokyo: A Family Home

I’ve had this home saved in my bookmarks for some time now, drawing inspiration for the interiors photographed. As a lover of antiques, this home is like a dreamland, covered with history and story telling. I love how the owner of J’Antiques Tokyo brought his love for antiques from his business into his home so his entire family can enjoy their beauty. Isn’t it just magical?

What do you think of that post title. After writing so many posts, coming up with creative post titles gets a bit tricky. So there you have it…a whole new form of creativity.

Anywho…Aren’t these images pretty? I really love the work of Caroline Gomez. All of her images are a bit dreamy and bright out the beauty of simplicity. I’ve blogged about Caroline before, here.

Earl Gray by Jonathan Faust


I absolutely love the identity work Jonathan did for the fictive company called “Earl/Grey”. This project aspired to bring popularity back to a once favorite tea flavor. The typography is well though out, the packaging is based around simplicity and all the little details bring his story to live.

Stop by Jonathan’s portfolio to see more great graphic design work!

INSPIRED BY WINSTON CHMIELINSKI / CURATED BY AMY MOORE.

If I was absolutely forced to choose a favorite artist, I would probably name Winston Chmielinski as my guy.  His use of color is unparalleled, the variation in texture is delicious, and the sheer amount of detail that goes into his work is mind-blowing.  I’ve shared some of his paintings on my blog before, but I had a feeling that Veda House readers might really enjoy Chmielinski’s art too…so I couldn’t resist spreading the word!  Isn’t his new work gorgeous?  Winston updates his portfolio/blog pretty frequently – LOTS of eye candy over there if you want more…

Rue goes Yellow

One of my favorite online magazines is Rue . It was one of the first that I read on a regular basis and it’s one that is always inspiring. This home was featured in the latest spring issue, and is by far my favorite story in the issue. I love homes that are brave enough to use a bold color (in this case yellow) throughout their house to make a big visual impact. When done with the right color, using a consistent color throughout makes everything feel like it belongs together and helps tie rooms together. Good job Rue!

Here is a spread from the latest RUE magazine that caught my eye. But why?? Key word : multiply. See how the right image of water is sort of translucent over the right image? Well, it’s not exactly opacity we’re dealing with here. Have you ever tried setting layers of images in photoshop to “multiply?” You can get some pretty neat effects from doing so, just try! The colors evolve in all sorts of new ways!!

girly natural

Isn’t this color combination just the most gorgeous thing you’ve ever seen? Totally not what I’m normally drawn to, but now that I see it…I can envision it as the color palette for a lovely living room. Imagine a purple couch, patterned pillows, and neutral earth tones all around. Lovely!

This unexpected blend of colors offers a stunning balance of boldness and serenity. The deep, regal tones of purple exude sophistication, while the patterned pillows can introduce playful designs or textures to add character. Pairing these vibrant elements with neutral earth tones, like soft beige, warm taupe, or muted greys, grounds the space, making it inviting yet stylish.

Think about how a purple couch becomes the statement piece of the room, instantly drawing attention. Complement it with pillows in complementary shades—perhaps mustard yellow, teal, or even subtle metallics for a touch of glam. A textured area rug in cream or light grey can tie it all together, ensuring the space feels cohesive. Add a touch of greenery with eucalyptus stems or a potted plant to bring in a natural element, softening the overall look. To complete the seating arrangement, shop loveseats and chaises online to find the perfect pieces that add both comfort and style, creating a harmonious and inviting living space.

Lighting plays a crucial role in highlighting this color palette. Warm, ambient lighting can enhance the richness of the purple and create a cozy atmosphere. A chic floor lamp or pendant light can serve as both a functional and decorative element. Finally, accessorize with art or décor items in similar hues or natural wood finishes for a polished finish.

This combination, though outside the norm for many, is both versatile and timeless, making it an excellent choice for a space that feels unique yet effortlessly elegant.
