Christmas in a DC Rowhouse

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

I ran across this house while cruising thru Double E's collection of houses with 'full interiors.' I had never noticed this house before. While it's similar to Brad97's Victorian rowhouse that I worked in not too long ago, it has a more modern feel - I like the way it's layed out. I also liked the exposed brick, and extended that exposed brick into the kitchen - I think it gave it a really cool look. While 'working' in the kitchen, I had created a shelf and was trying to find things to put on it. After creating a decorative souvenier-like plate to go on the shelf, I thought about creating a street name sign to put on the wall. So I went to Google Maps to look for a street name in Washington DC. Wouldn't ya know, by sheer chance I ended up spotting a house that looked exactly like BJ's Rowhouse - it was just in reverse. The front stoop even had that little 'jog' in it (which I took out). Since this house was on 4th Street, I decided that would be the street name that would go on the sign on the wall in the kitchen. On the first floor, I took out a closet and moved the powder room to under the steps so that I could use the extra space for the living area - hoping to fit in a small dining area also, but the renovation simply seemed to exacerbate the odd shape of that space. Despite the odd shape though, I think it turned out pretty good - especially in light of the fact that some of the space is taken up by the Christmas tree. I added an interior door to the vestibule, then moved front door to create space for coats and a shelf in the vestibule b/c I did away with the closet (along with the powder room) that was across from the stairs - all I left across from the stairs was the pantry. Because I moved the front door, I took the 'elbow' out of the porch and made a straight entry up to the front door Go in and look around - there are 24 scenes to help! Anyone notice anything missing? Leave a comment with what you think might be missing from this house.
