Jersey Ice Cream Co. / Vintage Vignettes

ART & DESIGN

I just recently stumbled upon the work of Tara Mangini & Percy Bright owners of Jersey Ice Cream Co. Honestly, these two have my dream job. Their company offers their services to home owners who want a new wall finish (plaster treatments or reclaimed wood walls), space transformations, styling and photography, design consultation, and of course sourcing and renting out vintage items! That’s talent Folks!

Stay tuned because tomorrow I am going to share some snippets of their home. I was drooling when I saw their home featured on Design Sponge and just had to reblog.

Mjolk

ART & DESIGN

Did you guys enjoy the home of designer pair, Juli & John from earlier this morning? I mentioned that they had a shop below their living space and I thought I’d show you some of my favorite smaller items they have to offer.

Mjolk is a lifestyle store that sells items designed with Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics in mind.

“A year after opening the symbolism of milk is just as strong. Our focus for our future is about nurturing. Providing a gallery space for new limited production design by emerging designers from Scandinavia and Japan, nurturing their creativity as they grow together with our store. Thank you for your continued support.” — Juli & John

IN THEIR HOME

I’ve been reading through the archives of one of my new favorite blogs called KITKA (a design blog / lifestyle blog). The blog is run by two very talented designers, Juli & John. The couple live in a “renovation project” apartment situated above their shop in The Junction neighborhood of Toronto. I’m actually pretty jealous of the whole work/live setup they’ve got going on. Their blog is filled with sneak peeks of the home renovation, scenes from around Toronto, snippets for weekend trips to their cottage, and captured moments from vacations. Stop by and make sure you have an hour or so to look around. Their blog is like one gigantic rabbit hole of greatness!

Peachy Pink

ART & DESIGN

I’m a really huge fan of color and all things related to choosing the perfect color combination. I could look at shades of green all day and tell ya that the one with the blue undertone, most likely won’t look great. haha

I’m color obsessed and look forward to doing more color palettes like these. I particularly like the mix of a pastel palette with darker hues. Contrast doesn’t always mean black & white!

Derek Root @ Monte Clark Gallery

ART & DESIGN

All I have to say is wow! What a beautiful show and collection of work. I’ve never been to the Monte Clark Gallery in Toronto, but if I lived closer, I’d be checking out the work of Derek Root. His work has such a great energy to it. This particular series called “Curtains for the Bunker” is a little bit abstract and a lot geometric, but none the less, a perfect combination of color and design.

INSPIRED BY RONNY BROECKX / CURATED BY AMY MOORE

ART & DESIGN

Hello and happy Thursday, Veda readers! One of my all time favorite types of art are abstract paintings that are good enough to be placed in any white-label NFT marketplace today. For starters, I love that they are open to many interpretations depending on the viewer; secondly, there is much to be said about the subtleties inside the work…quiet distinctions that aren’t immediately noticeable, but become apparent upon further study. These works from Ronny Broeckx, an artist from Antwerp, fit the bill for me completely.
