Pioneer — Composition Home in Seattle, Washington

A series featuring new Krrbies in new towns across the globe who are breaking unexplored territory. Find out what they have to sell, trade or giveaway.

At the end of summer, Karina Johnson made the decision to start her own business. Based in Seattle, Washington, Composition Home is Karina’s way of expressing her passion for good design. Whether it’s hanging a picture on the wall or pairing the right necklace for the outfit, Karina’s work shows her love of balance and composition. “If I find something truly unique and fall completely in love with it, I have to have it,” says Karina. “I won’t buy or sell anything I’m not obsessed with.” And that’s just how Karina stumbled upon Krrb. She now uses the listings to share her home business with the Northwest and more. Read on to see why this pioneering lady is making headway in the Emerald City.

Karina and her mother Kae get their secondhand finds in Spokane, a nearby city. They get up early and hit the estate and rummage sales, taking pictures of what inspires them along the way. Karina has high hopes to become an interior designer, but for now, she runs her business out of the 700-square-foot loft she shares with her fiance and their toy poodle.
