Seattlest January Style Calendar
January 15: Ever reminisce about that time in your life when when your friends were just a few steps away (dormitory, first apartment)? This Sunday take a tour of The Reserve Cottages (20215 15th Ave NW, Cottage D) in Shoreline and view an unusual yet growing trend in residential development: the cottage layout. The homes, each under 1,000 square feet, are situated among native landscapes and include both private yards and shared common spaces to encourage socialization and community. This series of tours, hosted jointly by the Seattle chapter of AIA and Northwest Home and Garden magazine, feature a different home each month. Stop by between noon and 3pm.
January 21: Are you thinking of hiring an architect? Not sure if it's right for you or how the process works? Each month the Seattle AIA presents the basics of hiring and working with an architect. Join this seminar at their headquarters at First and Stewart from 9:30am to noon. Reservations required.
January 22: The annual Trash Fashion Bash is back! Sponsored by the Urban Environmental Insitute and International Sustainable Solutions, this fashion show and cake competition is bound to be interesting. The fashion in question will be made entirely from recycled and salvaged organic materials and modeled by local personalities. Proceeds from this event will go towards the Great Places -Great Cities conference, to be hosted in Seattle in June 2007.
January 28: This is for all you bargain hunters. The Northwest Society of Interior Designers is hosting a sample sale, open to the public, at the Seattle Design Center. Stop by to pick up amazing textiles and furniture at discounted prices.
