We’ve all seen tons of the presidential signs around town but I thought this one was awesome with a blown up photo above it with the candidate and resident.

Nice combination of garden to lawn plus it’s got a lawn decoration and an urn. That’s hitting the garden trifecta.

Um, I tried to understand what was going on here but then I thought it would make much more sense to not think too deeply on it. It is simply fracking awesome!

Walking up 18th Street this Sunday I was lured by some live music from about a block away. Good to know that Columbia Station offers live jazz for Sunday brunch. Right on. A nice compliment to a lazy Sunday meal.

It so saddens me that often the sweetest city signs are for stores/restaurants now defunct. I have no doubt that Red’s Fish & Chicken was once a spot not to be reckoned with…

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea where I took this picture. Maybe Eckington, Le Droit Park… Well, where ever it is – it’s pretty sweet, yeah?

Here’s K’s other selection for today. She says: “Also is a picture of a really nice deck and parking space on an end house. The husband was out doing yard work so we talked to him for a few and told him how much we liked his deck. He said his wife designed it all herself and would be flattered to hear the compliment.” Super cool.

Greater Goods at 1626 U Street has a couple of awesome green roofs over its two bay windows. Ed. Note: I plan on doing a post on green roofs in the near future so stay tuned for more details. But in the meantime I thought these were worth noting. Can anyone explain the benefits? Check out another photo after the jump. (more…)

I wrote about this shop, Artfully Chocolate Kingsbury Confections, located at 1529 14th Street back in December but I neglected to mention that there is also art for sale. As I was walking by this past weekend I noticed the sign on the window also said “Art Gallery”. It turns out the co-owner, Eric Nelson (pictured above), also has his artwork displayed. He describes his art as bold and colorful like his personality. Next time you visit notice that the painted tables in the cafe section of the store are also for sale. Tables are $300, paintings are $400-$500 and mosaics are $1200-$3000. Check out some more photos of Mr. Nelson’s art after the jump. (more…)

Thanks to K for sending in this photo, she’s been on fire (one more coming later this afternoon). So why would a one story house like this be built next to “regular” rowhouses? Is it possible it was once a carriage house or something like that?
