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.

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…

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

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…
