Got Design Talent? Or Know Someone Who Does? Tell Martha Stewart About It
It seems improbable, but, so far, no Seattleite has won a Martha Stewart American Made award.
The contest celebrating the best home-grown craftspeople laboring in the fields of design, food and style has only existed since 2012. Still, in that time, there have been two winners hailing from Portlandia.
It’s a simple matter to set things right. You can nominate your favorite local craftsperson, including yourself, through August 29 at: http://www.marthastewart.com/americanmade/nominate-yourself
Then, don’t forget to cast a ballot or several (multiple votes are allowed) when online voting takes place September 15-October 13. The 2014 winners will be announced on October 17th. As well as a chance to win $10,000 and a trip to NYC, winners could be featured in Martha Stewart Living.
And wouldn’t it be nice to see some Seattle talent in Martha’s spotlight?

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…
Noir Lux Lights Up Fourth Avenue
The Seattle candle brand’s new two-level pop-up brings workshops and community gatherings downtown through September.

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…
