Ligne Roset is coming to the 2100 block of Wisconsin Ave, NW in Glover Park. Apparently they previously had a store in Georgetown which closed at 3306 M St, NW. Their Website says:
Known for its artful collaborations with both established and up-and-coming talents in contemporary design, Ligne Roset offers consumers an entire lifestyle in which to live both boldly and beautifully via its furniture collections and complimentary decorative accessories, lighting, rugs, textiles and occasional items.
An additional distinguishing point of difference that sets Ligne Roset apart from other manufacturers is its tradition of investing in dynamic designer collaborations. Matching its deeply-held belief in design with investment and technical innovation, Ligne Roset has grown from a small business to a multinational company with factories in France, headquarters in Briord, France and more than 200 exclusive Ligne Roset stores and 1,000 retail distributors worldwide. All the while, the company has been family-run since its inception in 1860.
Creativity is a key value of the Ligne Roset brand: if a new product demands new materials or productions methods, the company will simply acquire them. Seats, pieces of furniture, lighting, textiles, rugs or bed linens: the idea precedes and the technique follows.
Had anyone visited the Georgetown spot before it closed?

Anti-Putin protests hit Glover Park this weekend. I saw this scene outside the Russian embassy on Wisconsin Avenue.
The funny thing was from a distance, it looked like they were protesting the Christmas tree lot. I’m very glad I was wrong about that one.

Though, I’m pretty sure this guy was just waiting for the bus:

From the Cleveland Park Listserv:
“I just wanted to report that last week there was a mountain lion sighting in McLean Gardens on the edge of Glover Park. I know it sounds crazy but two people were witness to the cat. I seems to be a young one, not fully grown. He was sighted at around 1:00 pm on October 17th. This seems to coincide with the two sightings reported in the news in August this year, one in Loudon County and the other in DC in the District Heights area.”
