Inspired in Seattle – Part 1!

February 11, 2013 by Patti 23 Comments

A couple of weeks ago my husband was nice enough to say “yes” to my request for a girl’s getaway, while he stayed at home and slaved away to pay the bills.  In case you didn’t see my last post, he really is a “Hey Girl” kinda guy. Check it out! I felt a little bad about the whole thing but quickly justified it by bringing my camera along to take pictures for the blog! That’s working right?
 
So, my friend Deanna J. and I took a three-day trip into Seattle. She loves home decorating as much as I do so it was fun for both of us to check out several locally owned stores.  I’ve broken our trip down into parts due to all the pictures I ended up taking. I don’t want you to miss out on any necessary eye candy!  Each of the highlighted businesses has a slightly different ambiance, and different objects to inspire.
 
Our first stop was Heartland Interiors at Country Village in Bothell, a suburb northeast of Seattle.  It was a visual delight from the moment we walked in the front door.
This shop is filled to the brim with beautiful things for the home, as well as offering full interior design services.  They have been in business now for 27 years!  I’ll begin with a few close-ups of some of the lovely items they sell:
 
Look at this nice use of  vintage-looking jewelry on bottles and vases. Who doesn’t have a plain old vase that could use a little dressing up?
I love this sweet little moss-covered bird and the old books she has chosen as her perch.
What a beautiful vintage graphic on this pillar candle.  I’m seeing crowns everywhere lately.
Here is some unique candle “jewelry” with a pin on the back for attaching to your own pillar candles.
The designers in this store have put together some really stunning vignettes.  Inspiration to change things up a bit at home for a new season!
 
Cupid is out in anticipation of Valentine’s Day and sitting on a stack of books covered with old postcard graphics. Notice the rusty wire with the silver beads? I ended up buying some for my cloche displays.
A grouping of mirrors always look so lovely. I’m on the search now for different shaped mirrors for my bedroom.
Some of my favorite colors together are turquoise and moss green.
Not sure about the guy in the animal print scarf but I do like his jewelry. This store sells some really NICE jewelry and my friend Deanna succumbed to a couple of purchases. And look. . . another crown! Hmmm . . . how how could I make one of those?
 
I took several pictures of lampshades as I have some shades at home that I want to do something with myself.
 
 
Heartland Interiors carries gorgeous pieces of furniture and accepts custom upholstery orders.  Isn’t this upholstered headboard amazing? 
 
Painted furniture continues to be very popular and I like the addition of embellishments on this painted cabinet.
 
The graphic print on this traditional wing chair sure gives it a more modern feel . . .and the pillow . . . I want one!
So one last picture, zoomed out so you can get a feel for the traditional elegance this store has to offer.  
To see more of this fabulous store click on the link:

and be sure to pay them a visit the next time you are in the Seattle area.

Now be sure to come back for Part 2. The next store we visited is run by several local artisans. Inspiration galore awaits you!

      Be blessed,

    Now that’s the most fun I’ve had in two days. What great vignettes and pictures. I ordered a moss bird and it came in the mail a few days ago…love the one above. Makes this girl want to travel west. Shopping with you would be beyond fun.

    Patti, what a fun place. I have a moss covered bird just like that and I love it! Your hubby sounds like a keeper. Mine is the same! Last July he let me take three of my girlfriends on a week long road trip to Oregon. We even stayed in one of our vacation resorts with no cost to them. We had a ball and found some fun things. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
    hugs,

Welcome! I am Perfectly Imperfect Patti and I’d like to invite you to come in and take a seat in this creative space of mine.

I love the process of hunting for orphaned and cast off furniture (particularly my Chosen Chairs) and then taking the time to transform each piece into something new and beautiful. This process allows me to reflect upon my own story of transformation and blesses me over and over with each piece I redesign.

For those wondering if this program really works, For those wondering if this program really works, I’m still going strong with @e2mfitness after four rounds, and now that they’ve released a new cookbook (available on Amazon) I am more excited than ever about my fitness journey. This is the first in a series of cookbooks, and this one features delicious beef and poultry recipes. It also includes dozens of recipes for dressings and spice blends to use in cooking, along with a weekly meal planner, water tracker, weekly exercise log, etc. 
What is E2M? It is a virtual, eight week, rapid body transformation program for adults, which consists of workouts, meal, plans, cooking classes, mental fitness, and personal coaching. Workouts are designed for all fitness levels and can be done at home or in a gym. Our fit family is made up of people from across the world, from various backgrounds and ages, and we all have one common goal: to encourage each other to reach our personal best lifestyle fitness goals. After the first eight weeks, the program is available for free to maintain progress. This isn’t about getting skinny. It’s about building a healthier lifestyle, living longer, and getting the most out of the one body you’ve been blessed with. The next round opens on Thursday, and I truly hope you’ll check it out!

“In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and “In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was asked to create a Christmas special for CBS featuring the Peanuts Characters. He agreed with one requirement, that they allow him to include the story of the birth of Jesus. Although the stations executives were hesitant and tried to convince him otherwise, Schulz was insistent. As a result, for the past 50 plus years, millions of people have watched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and heard the story of Jesus and “what Christmas is all about.”

It wasn’t until a few years back that I realized a “hidden message” in the film. Linus, a child who seems to have some insecurities as he carries a security blanket with him at all times. In fact, Linus NEVER drops his blanket, except once....

While sharing the message of “what Christmas is all about,” Linus drops his blanket at the exact moment he says the words, “fear not!”

In this seemingly innocent moment, Linus delivers a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. We are to “fear not”, for Jesus is born. We needn’t rely on material things for security, we have God with us, “Immanuel”, (Matthew 1:23) Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - the true meaning of Christmas.

Awhile back, someone informed me, indignantly so, that Linus picks up his blanket at the end of the speech so my interpretation must be wrong. Well, he was right, Linus does pick up his blanket at the end of his speech. However, he “drops” it again later... 

Amid big, bright, colorful, shiny artificial trees, Charlie Brown chose the least of these, a little, wooden tree with just a few branches. Shortly thereafter, Linus uses his blanket to wrap about the base of the tree and says, “Maybe it just needs a little love”. In that moment, the tree “awakens”, stands tall and firm. A reminder that no matter who we are, how many mistakes we’ve made, a “little love” can make all the difference.

Let’s strive to “fear not” (Luke 2:10) and “love one another” (John 13:34), not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.”
