Flowers are in bloom all across the country. However, if you're like me and have a brown thumb (I'm pretty sure I killed my basil plant within two days of buying it), fear not, just leave it to the pros! More

I don't think these chairs (and the desk after the jump) could get any more joyful if they tried. Hanging out in these would be like sitting on pure sunshine. If you're not a fan, see what else would possibly make you happy in the Western states!

What I Love About My Small Home:

Our 1910 home was dark and cramped when we moved in, but now it's open and filled with natural light. We love that it's modern while also celebrating original features, like the exposed joists in the living room. We also love that everything has a purpose and that many elements serve double duty. (For instance, the studio loft doubles as a guest sleeping area, and the guardrail for the stair doubles as a storage "fauxdenza".) Our house is now more functional, more efficient and a reflection of the way we live.

This sideboard has a lot of heft. You'll hate getting into the car, but you'll love it once it's in your dining room. See if you can snag that kilim rug while you're at it, because they look great together. The rest of the West is a click away! More

Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest can be a tricky place to predict weather patterns. The area is full of potential for amateur gardeners, but finding the perfect time to plant the perfect flower can sometimes be difficult, and requires a bit of research before you set out to design your garden.
