Holy canoli, I just stumbled upon this one on the outskirts of Mt. Pleasant/Columbia Heights. Best house of the day yet?

Anyone have a recommendation for a contractor to install crown molding?
Does anyone know of a place that will do some small-scale spot welding?

I swears this isn’t turning into a garden blog but this photo was too cool not to share. I normally don’t like the white rocks, but this is pretty damn cool. What do you think of the design?

I was super psyched to see Bentley’s, at 810 Upshur St., kicking its outdoor space. It adds a great flavor to that stretch of Upshur. If you haven’t checked out the shop yet be sure to stop by.

From the outside, the house looked welcoming, yet quiet, like any other rowhouse. White Christmas lights decorated the front porch, and a warm light peeped through behind patterned curtains that obscured the windows.
