Creative Friends are the Best Friends

My buddies at DBM Marketing have created a terrific direct-mail piece for Canal Mews, our new single family homes in the Palisades.  This time next week 3000 residents of Georgetown will find out just how great a new home at Canal Mews would be::

Walk to the grocery store, the best schools in DC, fabulous restaurants and C&O Canal from your brand new home just two miles from Georgetown. DOES DC LIVING GET ANY BETTER?

'A Hymn Without Words' by Frank Harmon

A few months ago the National Association of Home Builders and Builder Magazine offered me the opportunity to be a judge for a national architecture competition. Once there I met the other judges, a group of uber successful men and woman from across the country. I was honored to be included. During a lunch break one of my fellow judges told me about a blog she follows regularly called Native Places.  It's written by well known architect, Frank Harmon.  He writes about special places from around the world with a short description of the building or public space and includes a very simple yet beautiful water color that he himself created.

As OPaL nears the start of our renovation of a modest church in DC, I was struck by his post this week about a small chapel in the South and the water color he included with the post.  It's a lovely tribute you might enjoy.

You can see the post here and sign up to receive his updates!

Water color by Frank Harmon, a very special architect.

Canal Mews | Palisades Opens Model Home

After much delay (thanks Pepco) we have landscaped and decorated our first home at Canal Mews in the Palisades.  Can't think of a better place to live, right off the Potomac, just north of Georgetown and mere steps to all the great stuff you love about the Palisades.

Don't you just adore this reading nook on the 3rd level?

Our friends at P Four provided a warm palate of neutral tones, just perfect for the Palisades.
