At first glance it might seem ordinary but a reader writes in:

“I was having dinner at my friend’s house in Brookland over the weekend, and I noticed a lot of wonderful touches she’s added over the past few months that I wanted to share with you. Most important is the beautiful transom that SHE MADE HERSELF! Very cheery touch. It’s somewhat hard to see in the picture from the outside since I only had my iPhone, but the inside view is great.

Also, she has this great window grate and a line of happy sunflowers to greet her guests.”

Very cool. If anyone else has some houses or gardens that they’d like to nominate – send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com

Featuring the 2nd best mustache sculpture in the city:

Sweet door too:


I’ve always thought this one in Dupont is one of the more unusual row houses I’ve ever seen. In a good way.


I love this one from near H St, NE. You can’t really tell from these photos but it also has an awesome side yard.
