In recent times, our homes have served also as classrooms, offices, gyms, and restaurants. Our place of comfort has also been the scene of our stress, and many of us are ready to hit the reset button. Whether you want to make major changes around your place or just give it a little spruce, you’ll find everything you need from local island businesses.

Seaside & Sylvan has recently moved from Greenbank to a new space in Freeland. This carefully curated shop features one-of-a-kind pieces and locally crafted home goods. As well as the fine furnishings showroom you can take advantage of their inhouse design studio, for an authentic local touch. At Artisan Crafted Home in Langley lives a wide selection of handcrafted items made from all natural and sustainable materials. By working directly with artisans, they carry exceptional items at affordable prices. Local and inhouse designs, such as handblown glass lighting fixtures, makes it a great stop for island inspirations.
Give yourself time to explore the offerings of Music for the Eyes in Langley. Owned by globetrotting former diplomats, this shop is stocked with colorful items from their travels. Particularly well known for gorgeous rugs hailing from remote corners of the world, you’ll enjoy hearing the background stories of your purchases here. For the flooring underneath those rugs, check out Carpet One in Freeland. With free estimates available, they offer hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and much more.

Creativity Meets Functionality
With so many artists in the community, there is ample opportunity to fill our homes with items both beautiful and unique. In Coupeville you’ll find two furniture makers with designs that can’t help but catch the eye. Quarrier Woodworks is female owned and made, with designs that incorporate historic and contemporary elements. These smooth, glossy pieces range from tables, cabinets, gates, and more. Gary A. Leake Woodworking utilizes just about any kind of wood you can imagine, and offers restoration as well. These striking designs often incorporate the natural wood edges or inlaid stained glass for a pop of color.
