Do you like when the first floor is one material and the second floor is another? Or would it be better all one material/color?

Located at 1807 14th Street just north of T Street, Home Rule has been open since 1999. If you’re looking for home goods and don’t feel like going to the mall you’ll find lots of great options here. They’ve got tons of stuff for the kitchen and bathroom. They claim to have best collection of shower curtains in town. The shop is small but they use the space efficiently and the staff are extremely helpful. Prices range from a dollar to $250 with the average sales price being $32. Any fans of Home Rule out there? Check out some pictures of the interior after the jump. (more…)

This house is located at 2226 12th Street, NW and the asking price is $637,800. The flier says that the house is completely renovated and has two huge bedrooms, two full spa like bathrooms, powder room on first floor and a chef’s eat in kitchen. You can check out some photos of the inside here. It also has one of the sickest copper backs that I’ve seen (photo after the jump). So what do you think good deal or not? (more…)
Some potentially good, some potentially not so good.
Disclaimer: The following is scuttlebutt, rumor, things I’ve heard. Take it with a grain of salt. Although I have a 95% success rate with these rumors turning out to be true, nevertheless there is always a possibility the following could fall in the 5% false category.
The last retail space in the strip of new retail on Irving Street will be… A Mocha Hut! So now Columbia Heights will officially be a coffee lover’s haven. You’ve got Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Mayorga, Columbia Heights Coffee and now Mocha Hut. So what do you think – a good addition?
Now for the not so good – I’m hearing that the new Yes! Organic Market that is coming to Georgia Ave. is facing some difficulties. What are the difficulties? Well, apparently there is a moratorium on liquor licenses and they may not be able to get one. This would be very bad for their business. And for us. So start whatever grassroots action you can to make sure that the Yes! Organic Market gets a liquor license. Of course I have no idea how that happens. So do you think the Yes! Organic Market should be allowed to have a liquor license?

I spotted this mirror on the outside of a door and freaking loved it. I’m just picturing a John Travolta type character from Staying Alive. You know when he’s like “don’t touch my hair, I spend a lot time on my hair…”. Right, someone is fixing their hair saying to themselves – damn I look good- and then entering then home. Awesome, simply awesome.

I really liked the “meet the neighbors” sign. There were some bands, face painting for the kids, art and just a good old chill time. Did anyone check it out?
Speaking of Mt. Pleasant this Saturday is the return of the farmers market. (more…)

Straight up flower edition.

Check out the floor of this deli? It is sand with shells. But it’s not a beach themed restaurant. A bit bizarre but bizarre is good I suppose.
