Last Chance for Designer Walk-through/DC Design House
Calling all designers interested in participating in the upcoming DC Design House. Fifteen or so designers will be selected to redecorate the St. John’s Episcopal Church Rectory, a glorious old Victorian in Georgetown that has great bones. High ceilings, huge windows, hardwood floors, and lovely architectural details need to be refreshed for the tour, which will be from Saturday, April 18, through Sunday, May 10.
Go to 3238 O Street tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 30) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., walk through the house, and put dibs in for the room you’d like the chance to decorate. Farrow & Ball, one of the sponsors, will provide a light lunch. Washington Spaces, the media sponsor, will feature the transformed house in an upcoming issue, just as we did last year. Proceeds from the event will go to Children’s National Medical Center.

The spacious living room leads to a private garden.
Huge windows invite in lots of light in the library.
The kitchen, which includes a fireplace, will be a great opportunity for a designer to make a dramatic transformation.
Who will have the chance to breathe new life into the dining room?
Can’t wait to see what style a designer might bring to this bathroom.
