City Home Store - More than Furniture

If you live in Seattle you may know City Home Store in Capitol Hill as the place to find contemporary furniture for small living spaces. Their chic couches and ottomans double as storage units, their desks and vanities become end tables... basically they sell magic furniture. Magic furniture with surprising ways to save space without sacrificing your personal style.
I went into the store expecting beautiful furniture that would look great in my small studio. What I didn't expect was everything else. This store is filled with delightful additions for any home - at a great price. And what I really loved was that, unlike other knick-knack filled stores that leave me overwhelmed and sneaking politely for the door, the City Home Store has the perfect amount of unique products. It's as if the Goldie Locks of home decor has blessed them.
Also, the shopping assistants were friendly, attentive and never overbearing. They checked in when it was clear I had too much to hold, and made a little stash for me by the register.
My favorite finds include a mat made entirely of smooth beach stones (perfect for the bathroom), a photo album made of beautiful pressed leaves and bamboo as well as classy black and white screen printed sheets.
This is a store that is constantly getting new goodies in, and is fun to wander through. Trust me, you'll find something you didn't know you couldn't live without. And it will be a unique find, which is the best part.

Prices: Depends on what you're shopping for. Furniture isn't cheap, but as we all know you get what you pay for... and this isn't build it yourself. But you won't be shocked - it's well within an average price range. As for rugs, lights, martini glasses and all the other fun stuff it's VERY reasonable. $12-$60
