Seattle Showhouse Open to the Public this Saturday

Last night, several of the who’s who in Seattle interior design convened in Queen Anne for a cocktail party and unveiling of the ATGStores.com Seattle Showhouse. The showhouse was designed and styled from top to bottom by some of Seattle’s finest–including Brian Paquette, Pulp Design Studios, LindHesse Design and Massucco Warner Miller, via the online interior design company, Decorist.
The challenge: Designers must shop for furnishings, design layouts for their respective rooms, style the home and source additional decor elements by Seattle artisans in less than two weeks and without physically being inside the home until it was time to reveal the final product. Eastlake-based online home improvement company Porch.com handled all the installation.
The public can tour the well-appointed Seattle Showhouse, located at 167 Prospect Street, on Saturday, January 30 from 12 to 5 p.m.
