OUR 50’S EICHLER – Super Simple Guest Room

Our 50's Eichler

As promised, I’m back today to share a few photos from our makeshift guest room. This room is 1 of our 3 bedrooms in this house and it’s itty bitty. Because the bedrooms are so small its really important to keep them clutter free and to practice the art of restraint. I’ll be honest and say that pulling this room together hasn’t been on my priority list and it’s currently filled with the “leftover” furniture. If you’re in your 20’s you can probably relate to having a mix of college student furniture and your first “adult” quality purchases.

Our previous guest rooms have been know as the place where college furniture goes to die. All the plumbing issues have been fixed thanks to the best plumbing company in town. These people are total experts just like Nance Services in Memphis. I have had multiple plumbing problems, but I know I can always count on the florida plumbing services. Just look up plumbers near me on the internet if you need one. For additional plumbing guidance visit https://craftsman-plumbing.com/.

When we moved into this new house back in June, I was determined to leave all the cheaper furniture in St. Louis and live with skimpy rooms here in Denver until we have the budget to afford nice pieces. The furniture in the room is a collection of items never really extended to be in the guest room, but I think it’s working. Most importantly, we can currently have one house guest for those of you passing through.

We’ll be upgrading to a queen bed soon so we can have some of our favorite couples come stay with us! We’re also thinking of window replacement and energy efficient home exterior upgrades that we’ve seen from this official statement to make the house well ventilated to maintain a comfortable temperature all day long!

OUR 50’S EICHLER – Guest Room Inspiration

Mood Board

Dropping by today to share another home “renovation” moodboard as part of the the blog series Our 50’s Eichler. I’ve previously shared this moodboard for our outdoor patio, but haven’t got a chance to photograph that space just yet. I’m hoping to capture it before the weather fully changes to fall!

These images are more about the feel I’d like our guest room to have and less about what’s exactly in the room. I wanted the room to feel super calming and for me, the best way to achieve that is to keep it super simple and clutter free. I’ll be back tomorrow to share the actual space with you. I’ll also be sharing a few tips/suggestions you can use when pulling together a space you don’t own (renters).

I wanted to ask…When it comes to decorating your space on a budget, are there any aspects you really need inspiration for? Let me know!

Recent Work: Interview w. The Citizenry

COLLABORATIONS

Today I’ve got some more fun things to share with you! Last fall (almost a year ago now!) I started working with The Citizenry. The lovely duo, Rachel Bentley and Carly Nance launched Collection One about a month ago and we’ve been jumping with joy as the word gets out about these beautiful products. The three of us really “hit it off” before the design process started and our friendship just continues to grow as we jump all the hurdles of starting a new brand. I’m beyond thankful they have brought me along for the ride.

Now that Collection One (from Peru & Argentina) is now officially LIVE and out in the world, I’ve wanted to sit down (interview style) with the girls and reminisce about the ups and downs of the development and design process. It’s been a learning experience for the whole crew and I’ve really enjoyed looking back through the past year.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

In Collaboration W. Forma Jewelry

In Collaboration w/

Hi Guys! Happy almost Friday. I don’t know about you guys, but this week has been a busy once paired with very little motivation. I did however has a lot of fun shooting a few images for Forma Jewelry, all pieces hand made by Galit Barak (goldsmith + jewelry designer living in Israel). When Galit emailed me to inquire whether or not I had interest in styling a few of her pieces, I never hesitated. Her limited edition pieces are right up my alley with clean lines, high-qality recycled materials and an overall simplistic aesthetic.

The pieces styled in this post are the Minimalist Oxidized Silver Necklace and the Black Nugget Studs. I’ve also been eyeing the Oxidized Silver Bangle that is currently 30% off in her Etsy Shop. Side Note: If you decide to get a few pieces yourself, you’ll notice that all her pieces come in really beautiful packaging!! Thanks Galit for creating such beautiful work and allowing me to share it.

Our 50’s Eichler – Patio Inspiration

Mood Board

Hello everyone! Excited to get this new blog series (Our 50’s Eichler) started today. As previously mentioned in this post, we’ve recently moved into a 1950’s Eichler design Mid-Century modern home in the heart of Denver. Contact companies like BKV Design – Custom Homes to work with architects that can help design your dream home.

This new series will hopefully give a little insight into how you can turn a rental property into something you love, hide a few of those gremlins, and do it all without breaking the bank. The very first project we tackled was giving one of our outdoor patios a small budget facelift. If you’re also planning on adding outdoor patio tiles, check out this list of the best tilers in Auckland. You may also consider adding Outdoor Step Handrails.

If you follow Veda House blog, you’ll know that I’ve been working since last September with the lovely brand The Citizenry. It’s been a true DREAM project and I get to share a few more labor of love pieces with you today. One of my favorite aspects of this project was The Citizenry’s desire to have really high quality printed pieces that act as story telling pieces and add a human element to the overall branding. We worked on pieces such as, thank you cards, post cards, business cards, product hang tags, fold out brochures, leather stamped tags, etc etc. Like I said before…dream project.

We’re getting ready to tie up all the lose ends over here for the full product launch this August. I can’t wait for you guys to see all the beautiful pieces that will be in the shop. If you’d like to follow the design process, you can browse the links below. Also, Carly (one of the co-founders) wrote a really great blog post about how Peru (and alpacas) stole her heart.

Worn. 08 / Giveaway w/ JORD Watches (CLOSED)

giveaways

Hooray! Summer is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited about the warmer weather, short shorts, and tank tops. I live for this kind of weather and my summer wardrobe is probably my favorite.

Summer also kind of comes with fun accessories, right? This worn post shows off an amazing new watch I received (co.) Jord Watches. Jord Watches is a St. Louis (my old city) brand that is changing things up in the watch department and I couldn’t be more excited to share this beauty with you. I also had a lot of fun taking pictures of the watch with my plants. (plant obsession is getting a bit out of hand) This gender neutral watch, called the Ely is made of maple wood (cool huh?), but other watches from their shop sport more “fancy” woods from all over the world. I love how it’s a conversation starter and something you don’t see everyday.

Giveaway ends Tuesday, July 21st

The crew over at Jord is gifting one Veda House reader with $130 shop credit to purchase the Ely watch or any other watch of your choice! If you’d want to check out the features of the watch I’m wearing (sizing, materials, etc) you can head over .

To be selected to win, please leave a comment below sharing how you’d style your watch!

In Collaboration W. Rose & Fitzgerald

Hi Lovelies!

Today’s a great day and I have a really amazing brand to share with you. Wahoo! If you’ve been following along, a few weeks ago (while away getting hitched) I posted about some jewelry from the brand Rose & Fitzgerald. <— read it here if you missed it. The ring and bangle from the summer collection has quickly become a everyday staple in my wardrobe. Thanks Courtney for passing it my way!

Recent Work: The Citizenry Photo Styling

PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi Guys! Thanks so so much for bearing with me while I weather the summer blues and the plague of being uninspired. This summer has come with many life transitions (wedding, cross-country move, husband starting new business, etc), but the real world doesn’t hit the pause button like you wish it could.

Freelance work has kept up it’s busy pace and I’ve had the privilege to work with the most amazing brand over the past 8+ months. The girls of The Citizenry have basically adopted me to help them brand their business, concept and style their products, and even photograph and edit all the imagery for their branding and website. It’s been a real dream come true to have my hands on so many integral pieces of this amazing brand.

These photos are just a few photos I’ve taken for the brand. I’ll be sharing more and more over the upcoming months! Be sure to head on over to the pre-order website now to snag a few of these items. Let me tell you…that San Pedro Throw is to die for and I can’t wait to receive my very own Estrella’s Rug later this month!

Studio Hours: w/ Frida (Guest Post)

Studio Hours

A few day to day insights from Frida Salomonsson of Vardagsbrus

Frida is a Photographer and Visual Storyteller

I try as much as possible to have a very natural working process. I can start editing something and realize that I like the person’s eye color, so I save it and use that tone to something else, which makes me remember that I need to change the color of something I did yesterday. To switch between different projects and ideas to let one lead to the other, thats a luxury. I do however try to work it out with my planned “unplanned” calendar. It´s chaotic but never boring! – FRIDA

A HUGE thank you to Frida for taking time out of her day to contribute to Veda House while I’m away on my Honeymoon. You can view her great work and shop at the links above.
