Easy Decorating Fixes for Five Areas - 05/09/08 01:45 PM
It doesn't need to be expensive or time-consuming to give your décor a facelift. Sometimes you don't need to spend a fortune to fix a decorating mistake or problem. Here are simple and affordable decorating fixes for five areas of your home:
The Walls
Paint is cheap and easy. It can dramatically change a room. Paint effects like sponging and rag painting can camouflage flaws and repairs, while creative accents freshen a room and make it unique. Your imagination is the only limit.
Furniture
Furniture can be a considerable expense, since furniture styles change frequently and family life can wear out … (1 comments)

Have Bike, Will Travel - 05/02/08 02:31 PM
Spring is just about the most beautiful time in D.C. The sun is shining, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, summer humidity hasn't kicked in yet, and it's light out past 5:00 pm. One of the best ways to see DC in the spring (or any time of the year) is by bike. You don't have to fight traffic or the sometimes unreliable Metro service and you can get some exercise while seeing the sights. However most people don't own a bike simply because they wouldn't use it often enough. The Smart Bike program may change that and bring bikes to … (3 comments)
