Store

South Lake Union's new urban dwellings pack a lot of style into very little square footage. The same can be said of Clover House, a home furnishings, plant and gift shop that opened last month to serve the neighborhood's urbane inhabitants.

The new shop joins the Pan Pacific Hotel, Marazul, Whole Foods Market, Scraps dog and cat boutique and a smattering of other retailers at the 2200 Westlake hotel/retail/condo complex at the corner of Westlake Avenue and Denny Way.

Owner Tonia Feinstein, a former buyer for City People's Mercantile, has populated her shop with items she either uses every day or that she might choose for her own home -- which also happens to be an urban condo.

Gifts and items for bath and body abound. You'll find Dani bath and body products ($5.50-$32); soap and hand cream from Mistral ($2.75-$24); handbags from popular local designer Crystalyn Kae ($60-$200); highly giftable Bella Il Fiore cosmetics ($5.50-$30); sweet Natalie Eden notecards ($4.95); and Snow & Graham calendars, gift wrap and candles ($7-$26).

Glass terrarium lamps ($165-$360) from Roost, which specializes in contemporary home furnishings, invite the outdoors in, while the company's delicate porcelain vases etched with hummingbirds ($20-$33) add warmth to cool modern spaces. From Tozai come hand-painted black-and-white tea towers ($105), and while no one can possibly have that much tea to store, they make a damn pretty centerpiece.

Clover House will certainly be welcomed by hotel guests and members of 2200's tight-knit enclave, who now have one more reason to stick close to home.
