Issues: Spring 2007

Welcome to Spaces

You’ll find an intriguing mix ranging from classic to avant-garde homes in this glorious spring issue of Washington Spaces.

Sherry Moeller guides you through a new custom house built with good old-fashioned craftsmanship and character. She also visits three distinctively modern spaces designed with sustainable principles in mind.

Emily Lyons finds sybaritic bathrooms with exceptional showers, tubs, and tiles proving, as one expert says, that bathing has become a veritable experience for folks these days.

With the arrival of warm weather, it’s time to open the windows and let the fresh air blow in. Light and breezy draperies that subtly veil the outdoors like a morning mist are just the answer to the challenge of wanting to blur the boundaries between interiors and exteriors. They provide the beauty of natural light filtering into your home with a bit of privacy.

Just as draperies are getting lighter, so are many palettes. Consider whispery soft shades with soothing effects as you spruce up your spaces this spring. Then head outside, smell the freshly-cut grass, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, and relax.

Celebrate spring.
