It saddens me a bit that I’m going to have switch from Garden of the Day back to Door of the Day soon…


I thought this was super cool. It was on the window of Queen Sheba’s in Shaw.


I don’t think I’ve given much attention to the incredible homes around Logan Circle. Obviously this house is sick but I’m wondering what stone was used? It’s hard to believe that many would not consider purchasing homes in Logan Circle not that long ago.


I love that people still use the expression “gone fishing”. I’ll definitely have to check out this art studio when they return. Has anyone been to this studio at 1704 Florida Ave.?


This spot was found by a reader on Craig’s List. The reader writes:

“I’m not sure whether you only like to post houses/rentals that you see on your walks, but if you’re interested in taking Craigslist submissions, I recently came across what is probably the most incredible (as in wtf) apartment for rent in Columbia Heights:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/apa/806458278.html

I’m not sure if it’d make a good Good Deal or Not? post because I think the answer is obvious (no), but maybe commenters would have some insight into how the asking price could possibly be so high?”

The spot is located at 1390 Kenyon Street.

The ad says:

“This professionally-designed apartment features dark-stained hardwood floors, grasscloth accent wallcoverings, darkwood cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms, and complimenting granite countertops. Floating wall-mounted cabinetry and an integrated audio-visual system with two flatpanel TVs in living room and master bedroom. Two walk-in closets– one of which has been adapted to a small office ideal for casual work-at-home sessions– can easily be converted back to a closet. ”

So for $5500 – good deal or not?


“My roommate Lynn is one of the nicest people I know in DC. She is always smiling and happy, even when she is helping out with mundane household chores like taking out the trash, washing dishes etc. Beyond being an awesome roommate, she is also a very good friend. We can hang out at happy hour just as easily as we can chill in the apt. and make it a movie night. But perhaps most importantly, Lynn is the coolest roommate because she puts up with me in the mornings when I am semi-awake (and usually not a morning person) and manages to make me smile everyday while walking to work.

Although she is moving out soon, I just wanted to let her know that I have appreciated all the times that we’ve stayed up late chit-chatting, and the many summer adventures that we’ve had in the city.”


We’ve focused a lot on the past on where the Central Union Mission will relocate. But what I’ve missed is what will become of the current location at 14th and R. Anyone know what development is slated to occur there?


This house at 1334 T Street is amazing. The house itself is amazing and the location is ridiculous. The flyer says:

“Enchanting & sophisticated 4BR, 3.5BA home features high ceilings, renovated top-of-the-line kitchen, large DR w/ pocket doors & fpl, living room w/ lovely fpl & built-ins, Master suite w/ fpl, lovely rear terrace & garden w/ path leading to extraordinary studio/office w/ 4th BR & 3rd full BA over garage.”

This house has all the historical details with a nice upgrade. I particularly liked all the old school doors and floors. Plus it had a sick carriage house. And of course all that costs. Lots more details can be found here. So is $1,195,000 a good deal for this location? What do you think of the house in general? The location (too close to St. Ex)? If you don’t think it’s a good deal what do you think would be?
