I'll take a shot at posting another DC-specific question: Anyone know good kitchen contractors? We have a large kitchen space, and a (reasonable, but) small budget. Any suggestions for clean and...

Any recommendations for clothes dryers that can be installed in a co-op apt's kitchen? We have only 110 power, but it should be possible to install an outside vent for the dryer. I'm looking for ...

Who knew there was an "official" avocado website?

Bedbugs, bedbugs, bedbugs! Once you've had 'em, this cavalier attitude toward furniture of unknown provenance will change!

I bought a used bed once in the mid-90s, and had no problems... BUT, since I encountered bedbugs in (expensive) rented furniture in 2004, I now take the issue seriously. I really don't think mattr...

Hey-- since we're asking for ATDC features, what I could use is a DC Open Thread so I can ask about local shops and contractors!

I second Marknarlington's call for a DC Room and Board. I would order so much more if I didn't have to wait for trips to other cities to preview pieces for my home.

Great museum for design/ architecture/ urban planning enthusiasts! They also have a well-developed education program and run fabulous kids' birthday parties. At my daughter's party last summer, s...

How is he a smarmy twerp?

I think I'll have to start my incandescent hoarding soon, too.

Great news! I can't wait to have a good resource for local recommendations.

DCist linked to this today. Interesting idea, and we were just recently in the market for a coffee table. I like the walnut, except that it troubles me that it's hollow!

Hey, I grew up in Northridge and remember these buildings. Somehow, these photos make the dingy Valley of my childhood seem almost glamorous. Wow.

Sorry, that's "too" narrow, of course!

We had a similar glass half shower door in our old apartment in London and, judging by our friends' flats, they were fairly common. I'd say that a shower head with a limited water "footprint" limi...

Re. RCKNDY- It's very promising. One of the reviews included this sentence: "This bright, contempo store and its punchy merch could convince a Georgetown colonial fan to ditch the toile and move...

Jean- Good to know about the K St. fabric store. I must have passed it without noticing! Leslie- I strongly agree, but as you know, attracting independent retail carries the challenge...
