IT’S HOME SWEET HOME SHOW ON OPENING DAY OF SEATTLE HOME SHOW 2011



The Vashon II

Crowds are brisk and consumers are in a buying mood as Seattle Home Show 2011 marks its opening day. 

On Idea Street, show visitors are lining up for a first hand tour of the latest in home design.  Making its Northwest debut on this year’s Idea Street is The Vashon II, a three bedroom, two bath rambler by Timberland Homes.  The 1638 Vashon II offers visitors a warm, comfortable living experience with a lush opulent look – but priced at an affordable $172,000, built and delivered to the customer’s site.  Interiors are by PCS Design.  Outside, Malone’s Landscaping has created a complementary landscape, including a waterfall.

Family Outdoor Fun Corner

Adjacent to Timberland Homes is a Seattle Home Show first –the Family Outdoor Fun Corner.  This fun-filled exhibit features something for everyone, from a huge oversized play set for the youngest members of the family to all the finest in outdoor living.  Designed by London Landscaping, the Family Outdoor Fun Corner includes outdoor grills, a spa and other features from Aqua Quip, a freestanding pizza oven and fireplace by Belgard, and outdoor play equipment by Rainbow Systems. Rounding out the corner is a cabin – complete with wraparound porch – and shed by Better Built Barns, which can be used for entertaining or for the overnight guest.

Coast Cabins

Next on Idea Street is a cozy cabin display by Coast Cabins.  These environmentally friendly buildings have the look and feel of real wood cabins, but in actuality are made with a proprietary tongue and groove technology that can be erected using only a rubber mallet.  Coast Cabins are available either as kits for the do it yourselfer or can be constructed onsite by the company.  A garden by Legacy Landscaping completes the display.


Aurora Quality Buildings

Rounding out Idea Street is a display of mini-cabins and outbuildings by Aurora Quality Buildings. These mini-cabins are constructed ahead of time by Aurora and then transported to the customer’s sight, making them ideal either for backyard cottages or for remote locations.

Today’s visitors included KIRO TV news, which photographed a number of exhibits at the Show as well as interviewed several show visitors and exhibitors. Look for coverage on upcoming KIRO broadcasts!
