The Washington DC Design Center’s<\/a> new Design House has just opened with the theme, Urban Elegance<\/a>, on view. I hope to get by and see it (April 24 – June 25). It’s usually inspirational and tends to validate decorative ideas that I have been following and or have used.<\/p>\n

While I’m at the NGA<\/a>, there is an interesting lecture that I found quite fascinating to read about recently.
