As you stroll through Belltown, on the cusp of downtown Seattle, you will come across a shop on 1st Avenue and Lenora that has found a most wonderful way to recycle trees.

Judi,

What a great idea, instead of turning trees into sawdust. The tree will live on in the form of gorgeous object, I really think it is wonderful that they are willing to come and remove the tree. Wow. A

Hi Alexandra~ I really appreciate the items made from these old growth trees. The way you put it says it all!

Hi Judy~ The objects that come out of Urban House are rare and beautiful. In my opinion, any of their creations would be a great investment and conversation piece!

A wonderful way to remember well loved trees. Even without the memories, the objects look very interesting.

Life is good!

Thanks John~ Between their location, the concept of the furniture and the influx of new residents in Seattle, I dare sale sales are brisk at Urban House! And rightly so!

Best regards,
