Seattle parents who squeezed into Izilla Toys' cozy (read: crammed) former location in Madison Valley now have a lot more breathing room. The new location on Capitol Hill is twice the size but still carries the same quality playthings -- Kettler scooters, push toys from Selecta and board games from local company the Matter Group -- as the previous location. The popular gift-wrap station and complimentary cookies are there, too, and Izilla will add a book section this fall

Owners Kimberly Lin and Jodie Marr had a clear aesthetic in mind when opening their shop in a khaki-colored vintage building made of concrete block. They wanted the open, square space and merchandise to reflect simple, clean design and contemporary use of color. One wall displays dozens of styles of colorful sheet wrapping paper and the opposite wall has orderly rows of single cards. Gifts, stationery and more wrap are displayed on simple, white tables and shelves. There's a refreshing absence of giant floral cards that read "To Mother and Father from Their Daughter."
