Home Decor Tuesday-a peak inside Modality Furniture (July 10th)

Last week I announced some of the movers and shakers making their way on the scene in Downtown. This week we take a peek into one of them.

Owner and interior designer Laurel Whittaker is looking to bring functional, beautiful pieces to your home. An artisan shopping experience, with artisan quality and personal service. All pieces on site are custom upholsterd but also available to be taken straight to your home. As a furniture dealer Whittaker has a huge inventory to choose from whether it be versatile rugs for inside and outside use to an array of comfy couches and plush chairs.

Still in the beginning stages of setting up the store, the displays are warm and welcoming. Whittaker says we can expect an expansion to the back room space and she hopes to utilize wall space allowing young, student artists to hang their pieces for sale and exposure for a small percentage commission. This goes to show her Go Local mentality and community spirit.

While there's no in-house delivery available, she suggested that if you make arrangements with her ahead of time, Whittaker can subcontract some muscles and a truck for you. 


Storefront facing Pacific Avenue - its where Ever After Shop used to be next to India Mahal (9th & Pacific Ave)

Perfect chair for a reading nook


This one feels a little retro to me. I love the pop of color from the throw pillow

More pops of color and a texture quite pleasing on this grey designer couch.
(You can expect to see this guy in an upcoming edition of my "What Your Couch Says About You" series)

This dining room table would make a lovely dining space.

Le Sigh - gorgeous red framed mirror


Functional and beautiful coffee table with just enough of a distressed industrial look to spice up your living space



When you visit this lovely space don't forget to mention the Duchess and her ladies sent you. We warmly welcome Modality to the neighborhood! Its so nice to be able to beautify your living space without leaving downtown Tacoma!

XOXO,

Lady Jacqueline

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
