Can someone please explain to me that strip of cubed glass that runs above the door nearly to the roof? Was it done for privacy or style? Help me understand.


This submission comes from an owner who’s fireplace was beyond repair. I like the look of the brick? They installed it themselves. See before picture after the jump. (more…)


Here is a Caribou Coffee location that closed down in Adams Morgan. Has anyone ever seen a Caribou Coffee close before? Aren’t the independent stores supposed to be the ones that close? Not that I’m wishing for that. I just hope the corporation is going to be alright…


And look, they too have gas burning porch lights. Hmm, now that at I look closer we may have a door of the day too…


I saw they recently received a grant from the ANC. And certainly there window looks pretty cool but I’ve never seen it open. Anyone know a contact, I’d be happy to interview them? They are located on Georgia Ave not too far south from Taylor St.


Let’s start a new series of our favorite spots in our homes. This is the only part of the Post’s Home Section that I enjoy so I thought we could replicate it. I’ll start off. This is my living room which is the greatest spot with a fire burning in the fireplace. Notice the oddly out of place rattan chairs. Truth be known only one is comfortable. Pretty good fire though eh? Your turn. Email me at [email protected] and send me a photo of your favorite spots. Please. I’m also still looking for renovation pictures, doesn’t have to be before and after can just be after if you bought/rented a place that was already renovated.


sounds much classier than no loitering. But that is not why I posted this picture. I posted this picture because this sign is on a building right next to a new luxury condo building. So how do you market a luxury condo that sits directly next a building that apparently has or has had a vagabundo problem?


Help me please, I have a serious problem.  Do you have a magazine subscription of any kind?  I get the New Yorker, mainly for the cartoons and so I can start conversations with “I read this article in the New Yorker…”.  But that’s neither here nor there.  You can have this problem with whatever magazine you subscribe to Economist, or Guns & Ammo.  So here it is:  I fell one week behind on my New Yorker and I am literally drowning in issues I haven’t read yet.  Ok, I’m not literally drowning but I am figuratively drowning.  I have this disease where I can’t throw out an unread New Yorker.  And another one just arrived today.  I’m starting to freak out.  I’m canceling plans so I can go home and read these damn things.  And many of the articles aren’t even that interesting.  How many times can one read about John McPhee’s obsessions with trains, fish, snails, etc.?  Well, actually, those are quite good but there are a lot of other boring articles.  So what can I do?  Can I throw out some of these magazines without having read them?  Is there some kind of self help group I can join to help with this problem?  Please tell me I’m not alone.
