To kick off this summer and celebrate the passing of another school year, we’re throwing a little party at Pippin Toy Co. on June 12 from 1pm to 4pm. The fun will start with crafting and milk and cookies.  

We asked local experts to share their perspectives to some typical questions homeowners ask, and to weigh in on when to plan for a significant addition, when to look for a new home, and when to consider a major home renovation project.

This month is typically crazy for our family, as I know many of us joke about Maycember, but THIS May is next level! I’m lucky to have two kiddos with May birthdays, but this week my oldest, Lilly turns 18 and we are hosting her graduation/birthday party! 

By far the most beautiful drive in the DMV, the George Washington Memorial Parkway is a gem full of scenic stops, wildlife, and activities. We’ve compiled a list of must-visit places along the GW Parkway from on-land activities to water adventures. 

Shopping for a dad can be tricky, particularly if said dad insists he needs nothing. If this sounds like a dad you’re celebrating this Father’s Day, it’s your lucky day. We’ve worked extra hard this year to bring in some gifts that will not disappoint.

Whether the project is a large-scale addition, kitchen renovation, general construction, or a small bath remodel, all projects fit into the procurement, pre-construction and construction phases to ensure attention to detail at every step.

New furniture is an investment, and it takes time to find the right piece. There are lots of things to consider – and one of the most important is whether you want to slipcover or upholster. I’m sharing the pros and cons of each to help you make that decision.

We have all been there…when your home starts to feel dated, dull, or lacking a fresh vibe but you don’t want to spend money on renovations. This is where you can make wallpaper your best friend. 

Among the many design elements that shape our living spaces, lighting reigns supreme. It serves to bring all other elements into focus.

Since everyone's makeup stash is different, there are a few things you should look for in a makeup organizer that best suits your needs.

There are always going to be home trends that our design team hopes last forever (never leave us, wallpaper!) and others that we can’t wait to fade away.

After collaborating on a few high-end projects, we decided to form a new, expanded firm – convinced that joining forces would allow us to deliver exceptional homes to more clients.

Let’s face it, Old Town is weird. The sizes of rooms are odd and nothing is standard. If the rooms aren’t too small, they are too big for an average size rug.

Located between two cul-de-sacs and graced by the presence of an eagle's nest, this location forms a serene retreat.

We tapped two of our local home and entertainment experts, Amanda Mertins of Patina Polished Living and Rachel Gang of Helen Olivia, for tips on outdoor entertaining.

Hosting and entertaining can often bring on a fair share of stress. But, fear not! We've streamlined the entire process, making it simple and stress-free.

They had a restaurant called the Greenbrier where ladies lunched and elevator operators would ask, “which floor?” when you stepped inside.

We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite mom-pleasers from Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post that the moms in your life will love.

Our favorites? The gorgeous peony collection in trendy green chinoiserie and the soft shades of blue and white paired with wrapped cane vases.

Instead of bourbon and brats for men to shop for the women in their lives, we are doing milk and cookies for kids to shop for the mothers in their lives. It’s a kiddos-only party!
