!–paging_filter–pAnyone who has admired a richly painted room in a design magazine has likely come across the name Farrow Ball. Established in Dorset, England, in 1946, this esteemed line of 132 high-quality and lushly pigmented paint colors is now available at Bellevue’s Table Top and Home, much to the delight of local décor addicts. “Farrow Ball is unmatched,” says store owner Keva Dodd. “The magic is in the incorporation of pigment as the paint is being made, not added on to a base.” It’s a process much like baking a cake from scratch rather than from a mix, and the result is consistent from can to can. “If you were to paint a room and then several years later need to repaint a wall,” Dodd says, “you could order the same color paint, and the newly painted wall would match with a less than 1 percent variance.” Table Top and Home has hundreds of gallons of the line’s most popular colors (including sunny Yellow Cake; gray-toned Purbeck Stone; moody Stiffkey Blue; and neutral Ammonite) and can special-order anything (wallpaper and archived colors) to arrive within two business days. Starts at $92.50 per gallon. Table Top and Home, Bellevue, 1105 Bellevue Way NE; 425.454.7322;a href=”http://www.tabletopandhome.com” target=”_blank” tabletopandhome.com /a/p

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?

From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…

PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills

PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills

The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.

My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…

Better Together: This Take on Co-Housing Emphasizes Quality and Community

The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.

Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
