Topsy-Turvy Lamps - The Rubik Table Lighting by Ender YOLCU of Paratoner (GALLERY)
If you’re looking to add a bit of chaotic character to your home decor, I suggest you take a quick peek at the Rubik table lighting. A bit quirky, yet all kinds of stylish, it’s a simple deign that will complement any home.
Designed by Ender YOLCU of Paratoner, the Rubik table lighting is available in two colors. If you have a more rustic, organic home you can go for the natural oak. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated option, however, the epoxy lacquer one is just for you.

Vegan Cookies N' Cream Cupcakes
These vegan cupcakes look delicious. Some of the best chocolate cake and cupcakes I've had have been either vegan or flourless. Who knew they could be so delicious?

Pike Place Market in Winter
This is a great shot of the Pike Place Market on a cold night in December. But even in winter, there are plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood, and Beacher's makes a beautiful macaroni and cheese.

Incredible Craftsman built on the site of the old Swedish consulate
Incredible views overlooking Interlaken Park and Lake Washington are the hallmarks of this Craftsman home built on the site of the Swedish consulate on Capitol Hill.The home has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths and has been built with an incredible attention to detail, with no expense spared.
This home is built high above Interlaken, and near Volunteer Park. The open floor plan is great for entertaining and provides an ease to everyday living. Two sets of French doors open onto a large deck.
For those that appreciate the difference between truly custom construction and standard builder fare; the home's artisan construction and exquisite materials are evident immediately. A rich espresso stain brings out the amazing grain of the wide plank, riff cut, and quarter sawn white oak floors. Hand troweled plaster walls add warmth and texture that drywall will never be able to achieve. These are just a few of the many details not to be over looked. Offered at $3,385,000
Call Corey Patt for an appointment to view. 206-322-8711

Exciting furnishings in at Neiman Marcus in Bellevue
Seattle and Bellevue has waited and Neiman Marcus delivers with there new store at the Bravern. Fabulous style, deluxe materials, marvelous decor, the style does not disappoint.
The iconic style has come to the Northwest and all is well with the world.
While some pundits have questioned whether or not the Seattle area can support these luxury stores, there is no
question that residents of the
Pacific Northwest have the quality of taste. But will they open their pocketbooks to make the purchase?
Pacific Northwest have the quality of taste. But will they open their pocketbooks to make the purchase?
Luxury velvets, plush fabrics embrace classic designs. These would look fabulous in anyones home. But will New York glamor translate and move well to this soggy corner of the country?
When I was growing up, ostentatious displays of wealth were frowned upon here, and there was nary a BMW or Mercedes on the road. Now luxury autos, diamond jewelry and trophy mansions are the mode of the day, and no one blinks when someone shows up in designer clothes.
So Neiman Marcus may indeed find an audience in the nueuvo riche suburbs of Bellevue, Medina and Kirkland. And maybe a few Seattleites will even cross the bridge to take a peek!

AIA Home of the Month: A Mercer Island Remodel
The public is invited to tour this month’s featured home, designed by David Foster of David Foster Architects, located on Mercer Island at 7404 91st Ave. SE, on Sunday, September 20, between noon and 3 p.m. To see the floor plans for this home, please visit nwhome.com. For more info on the Open House program, visit aiaseattle.org or call 206.448.4938.
The home was originally a 1950's home that the owners wanted to "modernize", which they did with dramatic results. The interesting thing is the owner served as his own construction manager. The price for the remodel worked out to $166 a square foot, which is pretty reasonable.
You can read more about this home in Seattle Magazine.
