Unfortunately, this is Caroline's second post with grammar issues. I applaud her ability to find interesting subjects to blog about (I knew about Community Forklift but looks like many of the comm...

Give the guy a break, they only had 4 weeks! It takes time to develop a more personalized look. (It took us 2 months to find a couch we liked! But then, we're not known for being decisive...)

Great post, great apartment! Normally I dislike purple but this just works.

I'm sorry, I just can't get past the grammar either. Restore in Nova is a great resource for doors; for more of an "architectural salvage" feel there's also Housewerks in the Baltimore...

Plaza is an art supply store at k and 19th or 20th, second floor (it's near the washington sports club i think)

love cherry blossom season here, despite the crowds...

I would be listening to Neil Diamond's Christmas songs, mostly for the irony factor. And who doesn't love The Neil? (But really, it would be great to have the ability to alternate bet...

Elizabeth--call your bank, then put the fraud in writing, immediately. Banks today will generally reimburse you for up to a certain amount for that type of fraud. So you may not have nothing after...

If it's just for a few months, try painting the walls a soothing shade of sea glass (either green tones or blue tones) and try to work the "miami spa" theme until you can re-do. Check out vivaterr...

As I mentioned, we have the land line for emergencies. You can ask your provider for a bare-bones "economy" line that will charge you a minimal amt per month and will charge you per phone call rece...

Ok, have to know--what Behr colors did you use? I love your apt.
