A former Georgetown boy's school is the home for The D.C. Design House, benefiting The Children's National Medical Center. Jura Koncius of The Washington Post notes in her article that it is "one of the most refreshing showcases for Washington interior design talent in years." Can't wait to go!

The house, at 3014 P St. NW, will be open Saturday through May 11. Hours are Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Tickets are $20. For more information go to D.C. Design House.

    You are so lucky! Wish I lived closer. Love your new banner, and I just noticed that I had not linked your blog before. For some reason I thought I had....anyway I am going to do it now! My apologies! I love your blog.

    KatieDid - Thanks - yours is the second blog I visited when I first found out above blogs. Love your kitchen! LC - it's great this Design House opened because the National Symphony cancelled their annual design showhouse.

    I like this house because it's a more realistic size than most of the ones they show.

    How's traffic been this week?

    Pigtown Design - Traffic has been fine - less tourists than a few weeks ago. I agree - house size looks really liveable.
