Name: Sitka & Spruce
Location: Seattle, WA
Design: Unkown

Located in Melrose Market, a vintage auto garage dating back to 1919 and 1928 respectively, Sitka & Spruce has quickly climbed to the top of my Seattle restaurant list. With an over the top open concept and location amongst exceptional vendors, it's easy to see why.

The converted garage spaces feature cement columns, exposed brick, and beautiful industrial windows. With the dining and kitchen sharing a singular space, you easily feel as if you are eating in someone's kitchen.

The industrial structure paired with classic paneling, industrial and vintage furnishings create a perfect mix of relaxed style.

Name: The Woodsman Market
Location: Portland, OR

Located right next to The Woodsman Tavern,

(remember, the spot with the great kitsch collection of vintage landscapes?)

lies the artisan market and shop of the same owner. With the same attention to detail, the market feels as if it's been there forever.

With warm white subway tiles paired with dark grout, open shelving, a great period tile floor, and rustic pendants, the space feels warm and inviting.

Showcasing local artisan goods, the space is great stop for a quick mid day sandwich or to pick up that one special ingredient to finish a dish. The comfortable and approachable space showcases the local purveyors in a welcoming environment.
