DC Design House - Butler's Pantry

DC Design House - Butler's Pantry

We are thrilled to have been selected to design the Butler's Pantry in the DC Design House this year!  This is our first time with this particular show house, and we are really excited.  The house is amazing... it is a farmhouse style estate located in McLean right off of Georgetown Pike and near the beltway.

What makes this house so special, by Artisan Builders, is all of the thoughtful and wonderful touches throughout which give a nod to the farmlands that used to occupy the area (hard to believe when you are driving along the beltway, but there used to be green pastures and cows on this property). 

Here is the website announcement:

We are having a great time designing and planning our space, and we can't wait to show it to you. 

We will be doing a series of blogs about the entire process, so come along for the ride!

Go to:  www.dcdesignhouse.com to see more.

BARE BONES day is this Saturday, February 28th from 12-3 and you can come along and see the house before any designers start their work.  It is $5 at the door.  Yes, the weather is awful and this will give you something to do this weekend!

This is our new series we are starting called, Wow What An Image!

We are excited about it because we will have the opportunity to show you some beautiful spaces, one or two at a time.  Nothing like shimmying over an image for a few minutes during your coffee break!

Valentine's Images

Okay .... Wait for it.....

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  Are you ready?  Here we will get you in the mood (or at least remind you that you need to start preparing for Valentine's Day as it is almost here!!).

Sweetheart candies...even if you don't like them, you have to HAVE them for Valentine's Day!!

  OMG, I cannot get enough of cake pops.  I am SO GLAD they are rather complicated to make, or I would be making and eating them all the time!!  But they are fun to make with the kids ... sometimes...

This next image below is from Martha Stewart and she knows how to present a pretty picture...

I love these roses, and the picture is lovely.
