Georgetown House Tour — and More

April 24, 2019

Another year, another crop of stunning homes on the Georgetown House Tour. We’ve got a preview for what’s in store this Saturday—everything from classic to super modern:

3007 Q Street

 

Dent Place

And here’s something cool—an only-in-Georgetown moment: This property below held a cameo in an old photo of Jackie Kennedy, strolling by just after she was married in the early 1950s:

Pay attention to the iron gate in this picture of the home, which is how you’ll see it on Saturday:

Mrs. Kennedy once lived two doors down, and those scrolls can be seen in this picture of her more than 70 years ago:

The tour will go on rain or shine this weekend. Click here for ticket information.

And get ready: This is but the start of house and garden tour season! Here are some other good tours coming up:

Garden lovers might want to head instead to Old Town this Saturday, for the Historic Alexandria Garden Tour.

One week later on April 30, take a scenic drive out to Fredericksburg for its Garden Tour — both tours are part of Virginia’s statewide Garden Week.

If you live in Maryland, check out the stately gardens of old Chevy Chase Village on May 18.

If you’re more of a home person, come out to Arlington for the annual Tuckahoe Elementary Home & Garden Tour on May 11.

Also on May 11, you may want to go back to Georgetown for its Garden Tour.

And this is definitely worth a drive to Baltimore, for the Fell’s Point Historic Harbor House Tour on May 12.

For a completely different flavor of homes back in DC, check out the Brookland House and Garden Tour on June 2.

And eco-friendly fans will want to check out the Green Home and Garden Tour in Arlington, also on June 2.

Happy touring!

When I told my husband I wanted to name our first son Henry, he readily agreed because Henry Aaron was his favorite baseball player of all time. And several years later, my mother gave a framed, signed photograph of this legend to @hjsergent for Christmas, and it hangs right next to his bed. What a sad day, felt all the more personally because I can’t think of my wonderful son without thinking also of the great man who helped inspire his name.🙏🏻

Interior design isn’t just pretty. There’s real power and symbolism in the choices you make, which deeply affects how you and your visitors feel in your home. This @washingtonpost piece on the #ovaloffice, linked in bio, illustrates how. @potus

The amazing thing about the #uscapitol is that we enjoy the same beauty as the generations before us. Our fashions might change, but not the glorious encaustic tile, gilded mirrors or the clover-like pendant lights in the Senate Press Gallery. Swipe to see the modern version, shot by @ronbluntphoto.

Memories of the late-night lines to see George H.W. Bush lying in state. Thousands of peaceful mourners waiting to pass through the Rotunda of this majestic Capitol.

CONGRATULATIONS to Michele Lerner for her award from the Nation Association of Real Estate Editors on a @washingtonpost story about bringing the outdoors inside, which features our bathroom renovation by @aidandesign ! The judges wrote: “She finds the perfect couple to illustrate the theme of her story. They lie by a nature trail, so they wanted to add natural stone to the shower.” Great story Michele, and it was a pleasure to speak to you!

So thrilled to be working with a new client, Michigan design firm @arminainteriors. I just love how luminous her work is, and her use of dramatic light fixtures. Enjoy!
