Now Under Construction at Seattle Home Show 2012: Outdoor Living and Wine Garden

It is the sound of hammers swinging and of trucks rolling as setup continues for the 68th annual Seattle Home Show. Exhibitors, who represent the leading building, design and landscape professionals in the Northwest, are working furiously to complete their showcase displays in time for Saturday’s opening.

Going up in the East Hall is the Outdoor Living and Wine Garden, a key feature of this year’s Show. This 10,000 square foot display created by London Design Build will highlight all the latest in outdoor living. In addition to a series of outdoor vignettes (in Northwest Asian and Tudor themes), the exhibit will include a Wine Tasting area featuring some of the best in Northwest wines. Even if you’re not a wine aficionado, there will be plenty to see; by show time, the Outdoor Living and Wine Garden will feature six decks, four hardscape areas, pergolas, water features, evergreens and a variety of seasonal plants for a late winter/early spring garden.

Stay tuned for more updates!

A pile of dirt today, a display garden with backyard cottage by Saturday

The pace continues at Seattle Home Show 2012 as exhibitors work to complete their displays at the nation’s oldest and largest consumer home show.  By Saturday, nearly 500 exhibits featuring all the latest products, trends and services for the home will be constructed and completed for the public’s viewing pleasure!

Can you guess what this relatively empty space with its large pile of dirt will be? By show opening, this will be a fully landscaped display garden with backyard cottage!

Malone’s Landscaping is creating an inviting Northwest garden with water features, low maintenance plants and comfortable outdoor living spaces reflecting the season. ShelterKraft Werks is erecting one of its unique backyard cottages made from recycled shipping containers. See the pictures of the display in progress as well as a rendering of what the display will look like when completed.
