Let’s make a patio meditation/sacred space that is storable, multi-taskable (doesn’t have to always act as a meditation space) and very inexpensive. This is what I came up with. Kmart for $83.63! (prices vary in different areas, and this of course does not include the view, deck or railing!). Similar items from an import or meditation store would cost close to $300!

For the 2010 Bucks County Designer House, Veneshe designed this yoga/meditation/retreat room in the attic space. It features marmorino plaster walls with trompe l'oeil fresco paintings, a feature wall in polished plaster, and a hand painted floor and floor cloth. Water features, sculpture, and natural elements provide a restful space in which to meditate and practice yoga. Photo Credit: Swede's Photo

Created for enjoyment of the family and as a peaceful retreat for clients of Kirsten’s yoga, meditation and message studio. The water garden, plantings and bird feeders are designed to be attractive to pollinators and wildlife.

My client wanted an Asian inspired meditative room. The Buddha statue was to be hi-lighted. I chose a calming water feature for the wood accent wall behind it. The chaise sits in front of a sunny window that is treated with a pagoda shaped valence and drapes in a hand blocked Scalamandre pattern.
