Butter Home

Cute as f***. Too cute even. Everything is literally so adorable I was gasping and cooing the entire time I was there. It’s teeny tiny but I circled the place a million times, finding new things each time, new things to coo over. Jeeze. I wanna buy everything here, down to the handmade NAILS. nails. Like nails you hammer into the wall. So cute.

Cute little boutique with fun housewares and accessories. Worth the visit upstairs to see what little gems you can find. Friendly, staff!

I love this little gem tucked away upstairs in the Melrose Market. Its filled with lots of beautifully designed goods. Many of the products make great gifts, home décor, or a treat for yourself. If you appreciate handmade cards or printed cards that are totally one of a kind you would love this shop. I’ve purchased several cards for friends and unique stone earrings made from a local designer.

I am a huge fan of local, handmade goods and frequent visitor of stores like Butter Home. The owner here has curated a small but excellent and moderately priced selection of items, from greeting cards to accessories to housewares. I honestly can’t think of any other store where I want every single thing!

This place was super cozy and cute! It’s tucked away, upstairs in a little market type environment. They had cute little nicknacks, and a good selection of unique jewelry. I bought a pretty ring:) The girl working there was super friendly and carried on conversation with me. Good find!

A wonderful little shop in the Melrose Market. Spend an afternoon in the market, sip some wine, eat some cheese, but PLEASE find your way up the stairs to this little nest of goodness! I take everyone there. Everything from jewelry to quaint home furnishings.

Service can be hit and miss but I love this tiny little boutique. I always end up with something I don’t need but it will make your home space and wardrobe that much more elegant and twee.

Before you enter Butter Home, let me warn you that you will need nothing and want everything. Glass straws? Decorative antlers? Button earrings? Give me a break! I came this close to spending like thirteen bucks on a set of coasters because they looked like cross-​sections of tiny trees.
The shop is small, almost cramped, located in what feels like an open attic, up a narrow flight of stairs above the cheese shop in Melrose Market. The space is well stocked with home furnishing and gift items, and I’d have an easier time justifying shopping for gifts than for myself. While I looked around, I reminded myself that a person in her twenties only needs one set of cooking spoons, and that it probably shouldn’t be a novelty set.
The card selection is excellent, and apparently Michael K. comes here often to scope it out. The cards are particularly well curated. I had fun browsing and smiling at some of the more endearing greetings and puns.
I didn’t end up buying anything at Butter Home, but I do hope it does good business. It’s an adorable spot, and if I lived in Seattle I wouldn’t need too much of an excuse to come back and buy something, or maybe one of everything.

One of the best home décor shops I’ve been to in Seattle!
Yep, it’s super small. And no, it’s not really its own shop… more of like an attic or something. But, if you’re looking for great local gifts, this is your place!
I went for one main reason. They have a lovely selection of unique ceramics that are shaped like ordinary disposable items (such as milk cartons, anchovy tins, and berry baskets). They’re priced pretty reasonably too.
They also have a good selection of printed goods, candles and dish towels. A warning though: I purchased a Simple Scents mason jar candle (I know, I know, I’m over mason jars too, but I loved the smell). When I took it home and lit it, it had little to no scent! Very disappointing.
One more tip: make sure to head over on an empty stomach. It’s pretty much impossible to resist the sights and smells of the other delicious vendors at the Melrose Market.

I hate to give small local businesses lower ratings, but this store was a disappointment for me. Other reviews raving about it say it was small, but it’s hard to really convey exactly how small. The place is also so small that it’s difficult for it not to appear cluttered and you feel like a bulldog in a china shop just carrying a moderately sized purse. It would be packed if you tried to fit more than about 4 people in it. It’s got local goods, sure, but it’s a very homogenous selection of the «rustic» style. Maybe I wasn’t excited because I grew up in «rustic» New England where these types of things are commonplace in the touristy shops (screen printed natural brown cotton tea towels with maps of Washington state on them for example), but I was hoping for a brighter more varied selection. It’s a niche kind of place, and I’m sorry to say I’m just not in that niche.

Gosh I hope my friends are reading this because if you are going to go and get me a gift for any occasion, please go to butter home! I would LOVE the beakers in the galvanized steel buckets or the chalkboards that are adorned with lace that a girl can hang up and write love letters on! GReat totes, there is a polka-​dotted one with my name on it! Very original store with amazing finds!!! Great gifts and home décor items…:)

Tucked into an upstairs loft at the Melrose Market, it can be easy to miss it if you’re not looking. Head up the stairs, and you’ll find a trove of fun treasures for your home. Handcrafted accents, stationery, jewelry, and tableware are available, all well curated by the friendly staff. I could have spent hours just poking around and checking out all the treasures, but unfortunately I was in a hurry. I ended up choosing a handmade candle inside a little mason jar that smells of apples, maple, and bourbon. Amazing. Highly recommended!

I essentially want to buy everything in this store. The small upstairs space in the Melrose Market building is packed with items ranging from construct it yourself carboard «taxidermy» to delicate jewelry made by local artisans. I like to stop in and just browse, but some items that I have gotten there include quirky cute Christmas cards, a pyrex straw, and handmade soy candles. The counter help has always been friendly also. Definitely stop in here during your next stroll through the hill.

I Shopped the Hill this weekend in an attempt to buy local presents for Christmas, instead of sinking my cash into a chain store that returns only an itty bitty percentage of the wealth to our economy. Anyway, not trying to get all political here, so on with the review.
Butter Home was PACKED this Sunday afternoon, but I still squeezed my way around the shop. It’s a very small space, located above Calf and Kid in the Melrose Market. I’d never been there, but today they were offering 10% off as a Shop the Hill promotion, so I thought I’d take a peek.
Very charming little shop. Sort of like a very miniature Anthropologie home section — all rustic and cute and very pricey. Many local goods, though — handmade jewelry and the like. I bought two felted dryer balls, a felt mistletoe (can be used every year and much prettier than those plants with the white plastic berries!), and a layered, flexible silver bracelet. I spent a little more than $ 50.

So many cute knick knacks and quirky items from home décor to games, cards, jewelry, kitchen things and more. It’s above the cheese shop and worth the trip up the stairs to dig around in the interesting finds.

Cute as a button, this petite shop in Melrose Market carries an enchanting mix of clever old and new goods for the home, including dishtowels that can help you learn cuts of pork, wood doily coasters, napkins, jewelry from local artists (including State of Washington charm necklaces), magnets, sachets, cutting boards, big baskets, greeting cards, terrariums, jars, paper garlands, porcelain fruit baskets, cardboard animal heads, etc. The magnets are made with photographs from a local artist.
I think I want a porcelain gelato cup (looks like the paper one only it’s made out of porcelain) and spoon for my fro-​yo.

Nestled above Calf & Kid in the Melrose Market, this shop is the definition of quaint.
When real estate shopping, avoid anything described this way, it means outdated and small.
But in this case, I said the definition, and I mean it like
says it «having an old-​fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque, strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or amusing way»
The saleswoman was awesome, helpful and cute enough that she was right at home amongst the other covetable items on the shelves, wall, ceiling, floor and some other places I have forgotten.
I wanted to just scoop up one of everything but thankfully (to my bank balance) sanity was with me that day and I settled on a lovely recycled glass terrarium for a holiday gift. It was as well received as I hoped, and since it’s for the better half, it means I get to enjoy it too.
This is a great place for someone who’s house always seems so cool but functional, I mean, what DO you get them? Well, something at Butter, of course.

Great store full of unique gifts! Charming layout in very unique space. The owner is super friendly too! I would definitely recommend Butter Home to anyone looking for a nice home accessory or gift.

this place is amazzzzzing. not only is the shop owner super sweet, but the merchandise is unique, well priced and all local. they have jewelry, furniture, cozy scarves, and other various home furnishings. if you’re in the neighborhood its a great place to check out before or after eating at any of the various restaurants nearby. perfect place for your holiday shopping too.
