Host Site for 2012 DC Design House Chosen & Eye Candy

The host site for the 2012 DC Design House was announced yesterday and it's a stately Colonial located at 4951 Rockwood Parkway NW in Spring Valley. You can view the current listing here. This looks like it's going to be a great one! (Thank you Mathew for giving me the heads up!)
Jura Koncius of The Washington Post tweeted that the Bare Bones tour is scheduled for Feb 25th. I'm sorry to miss it although my consolation is that I'm going to be in St. John Virgin Islands. It's been really cold here today...
For a little eye candy: Something about the finish on these end tables and their slightly askew placement makes this room for me. Design by Jillian Pritchard Cook from Veranda here.
