The Greenhouse Makes Your House a Home
One of the running jokes in Bellingham is whenever you are arrive, be it for higher-education, a temporary job, or it was just the random spot you decided to try living your PNW dreams — It will always be your home. And the joke is that: You might leave, but you’ll always be beckoned back to Bellingham.
My husband looked at me long ago and said, “Why don’t we just skip the part where we leave and stay?” So we did and slowly but surely, after many years the people we went to college with, the friends who visited us while we’ve lived here have all be touched by the eternal homey feeling that Bellingham has.
I personally, believe what makes Bellingham a home, beyond it’s beautiful environment, is it’s locally-owned staples. Which is why I am so excited that The Greenhouse, a home decor store, which was located over on Cornwall Avenue for as long as I can remember, has just recently moved into a new space! It feels like it’s just another transformation to deepen a local business’ longevity. It’s new location, which was formerly “The Color Pot”, is located on 1210 N State St, Bellingham, WA 98225 and it is stunning!
Greenhouse is this modern store for furniture, décor and cookware — including knives, and offers this warm and welcoming atmosphere to all shoppers. While I will miss the stair case and different pockets of hidden spaces from their previous location on Cornwall, State Street offers this wide and open space to explore and a great flow as you shop. Plus, parking is wayyy easier. You’re no longer wandering a few blocks with the coolest throw-pillows to your car.
Greenhouse has called Bellingham home since its inception in 1972. According to their website, “We believe in serving the community as one of the only local home goods + decor stores in Bellingham.”
Chef loves everything at the Greenhouse. He is always perusing and getting inspired by the different options and cooking tools they have. The Greenhouse’s cookware options are second to none. It’s trinkets, style, and thoughtful inventory make it a delightful surprise to visit weekly.
Plus, as someone who works in real estate having Greenhouse as a local option for staging a home is truly wonderful. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them on many transactions and they provide a great style that elevates any home. But your home doesn’t have to be on the market in order to work with Greenhouse, they also offer Home Consultations and Design. Which is just a lovely touch to have in the community.
I love that the Greenhouse has a new home!Their new space upholds the promise and commitment they’ve always had to be community first. I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow in this new space and put down even deeper roots in Bellingham. So many people love this town and having a high-quality, carefully curated, local home decor store to really transform it is such a gift. Cruise through the Greenhouse, even if you don’t plan to buy anything (which is rare, something will inevitably catch your eye), you’ll walk out feeling inspired.
