some bright colorful lights will definitely change the whole feel of that porch.

this seems like an easy hack- at the current exchange rate, 60 euro for a cute coat hook seems extremely pricey!

yeah I've always been a mail dumper and it is shocking how quickly it piles up. I've adopted a new policy that really has helped- I sort mail out in the mail room and dump junk mail and ads in the handily provided recycling bin before I go up to my apartment. It makes it easier to keep track of important mail and keeps paper clutter out of my space.

I wish they had kept some of the charm of a DC rowhouse- this is just too new and generic-looking for my taste.

I like the look of it, but am always reluctant to buy a desk chair I haven't tried out first. I wish they had a sample in the store to sit on...

I love the lamp but hate the shade!

incredible- so graphic and bold a statement in an entryway has to set an excellent tone for the entire house!

I would recommend replacing (or just removnig) that rug- it doesn't seem to work with the seating very well. If you post a floorplan or some measurements people might be able to give more specific advice.

Interesting resource though I agree that more information would have been helpful. Still, I wouldn't even know I wanted more information if it wasn't for this post!

this looks much cooler than I would have imagined just hearing about it. Great use of materials that would otherwise probably end up in a landfill somewhere!

I like both sofas, but I have to say the yellow velvet looks so warm and comfy- I hope it went to a loving home.

I'm another 3 cupcake voter who can't vote for some reason- can AT add our votes in manually somehow?

Too bad I never knew that the State Department allowed tours of these rooms when I lived in DC- it would have been a great place to send guests. Thanks Colleen for sharing this hidden gem! I've really enjoyed all these great DC posts...

that looks a lot more like a utility sink than a kitchen sink- I too would be afraid to use it for food preparation. Have you spoken to your landlord about the problem? Is that up to rental code?

What's up with the blogger searches for DC and Boston? I don't think we seen a post in almost a week- are they done? I feel like we're still missing a few third posts from some contestants.
