Lesle Veca

V HOME AND INTERIORS

The moment you step foot in V Home and Interiors, you get a feeling of calm surrounded by the store’s light and airy aesthetic—a feeling that Lesle Veca strives to help all of her clients bring into their home. When Lesle and her husband, David, decided to open V Home and Interiors on Hwy. 190 in Mandeville, her vision was to bring her design expertise and aesthetic together in a onestop shop where people could come to design and furnish their entire home from furniture, decor and lighting to drapes, rugs and wallpaper.

In the store, they offer a vast inventory, from in-stock options to custom designs. “We know having product in stock can be a limited commodity these days, but so is time, so we try to keep a large amount of inventory in stock to make shopping for the home easy for our customers.” They also welcome other local designers and their clients to shop and to look through fabrics, wallpaper or rug samples and furniture and lighting catalogs to create custom orders for items that are not on the showroom floor.

“Our community is full of wonderful stores. We are pleased to be one of them and try to make ours a helpful and enjoyable experience,” says Lesle. “I love what I do, and I take pride in the aesthetic and feel of my store and the style that I offer to my clients and customers.”

Priding herself on her design experience, Lesle cherishes helping her clients find just the right pieces in order to make their home beautiful. They also offer perfect gifts for any occasion—full candle lines, dishes, lamps, decor, gifts for brides and a baby line for those spring and summer showers, and plenty of gifts for the most important women in our lives, our mothers.

Lesle says that she has always been passionate about interior design; it is a skill that runs in her family. Many women have pioneered the way for her. “My mother was a designer, as well as my aunt.” That legacy eventually channeled into her personal passion, leading her to open her own store with David. Lesle considers herself to be very privileged and lucky to work alongside her husband every single day; it is one of her greatest blessings. “It makes it even better that we have the same taste!” She says that, when working alongside your husband, the most important aspect is “finding the happy medium.” They complement one another well, and they both enjoy working with the customers that come in to their store each day.

Lesle says, “For me, I love what I do. It doesn’t feel like work. It’s a joy to me because my job is what I love: creating inviting spaces.”
