Anyone know the history behind this classic mural? Is this the best mural in DC?

Man, this one’s going to be tough to beat.

Reminds me of my years in the Navy.
Ed note: I was never in the Navy, however, I did serve one week in the cub scouts…


This may be one of the best wrap around porches in DC.

It’s hard to imagine that this photo is from the heart of DC, yeah?

River House is located at 3706 Macomb Street, NW. Their Web site says:
“Partnering with dealers and warehouses in Belgium and Holland We import vintage furniture from many countries in Europe.
These country and farm pieces are selected in the countryside then taken to the warehouse/studio where they are prepared for export to Washington.”
There are super cool pieces here.

The goods aren’t cheap but they are wicked fresh. More photos after the jump including a vintage Vermont brass pub tap. (more…)

Oh man, this one looks cool. I dig the angles and some fresh windows.

There’s even a cool angled gate:


Sometimes you just want to get out of town. DC has its charm, but sometimes you just hit that point where you’ve had enough of the same bars, restaurants, people, routine and it’s time for a change of scenery. Luckily, there are a ton of easy weekend or day trips from the DC-area.
For this first edition, I will be reviewing Veramar Vineyard in Berryville, Va. (http://www.veramar.com/). I spent the weekend here in October for a friend’s wedding.
I had always been curious about the Virginia vineyards. I had heard good things, but wasn’t sure what to expect.

The vineyard is beautiful. At that time in the fall, the leaves were starting to turn and the grass was a bright green. Rolling hills flow throughout the vineyard. Veramar was smaller than I anticipated. We spent time there in the afternoon before the wedding walking around and doing a wine tasting. For the wine tasting, we sampled a handful of wines, all of which were delicious. The wines had interesting names like Rooster Red and Pink Chicken. Continues after the jump. (more…)

This home is located at 1113 Harvard Street, NW.
The flier says:
“Shows very well. Hardwood floors through-out. New furnace, washer/dryer, carpet in bedrooms, marble floors in baths and ceramic tile in kitchen. Private parking is only $200 a year.”
You can find more details and photos here.
We once talked about this row of homes before because I found them to be quite unusual. I do like the location. This is a 2 bed 2.5 bath going for $399,000. Do you think it seems reasonable? Don’t hate too much on the vinyl…
