Two Seattle-Area Winners of the Remodelista & Gardenista Design Awards
Three cheers for these local projects, which took home top honors in the Considered Design Awards
Back in July, we alerted you to the fantastic design competition hosted by websites Remodelista and Gardenista. The second annual Considered Design Awards featured beautiful interior and outdoor spaces–both amateur and professional–submitted by Remodelista and Gardenista readers that a panel of industry experts then narrowed down to multiple finalists (six of those were Seattle-area peeps!). That’s when you, the public, had the opportunity to vote for your favorites.
We’re happy to report that two of the six Seattle finalists are winners! Local interior design firm Hyde Evans Design secured the top spot in the Best Professional Bedroom category, while Britton Shepard from Fall City won Best Edible Garden. See photos of the winning entries below, along with comments from judges on why those entries had initially sparked their fancy. See the rest of the Remodelista and Gardenista Considered Design Awards winners here and here. Go Seattle!
Hyde Evans Design, Best Professional Bedroom Winner
What the judges said: “This aerie corner retreat overlooking the sea manages to channel a nautical vibe without veering into twee territory; I like the mix of humble grain sack pillows, rag rug, and stool bedside table.”
Britton Shepard, Best Edible Garden Winner
What the judges said: “[It pairs] a permaculture ethic with strong aesthetics (love the fence!), while also packing in the produce. Who wouldn’t want to walk down that Berry Boulevard and meet all those happy beneficials?”

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
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…
Noir Lux Lights Up Fourth Avenue
The Seattle candle brand’s new two-level pop-up brings workshops and community gatherings downtown through September.
It’s often said that good things come in threes, and for Colina Bruce, founder of the lifestyle and home fragrance brand Noir Lux, that’s certainly proving true. With a flagship shop in Belltown and an outpost in Ballard, Bruce is rounding out a Noir Lux trio with the opening of the Noir Lux Collective on…
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…
