Nice Place You’ve Got Here

-The Washington Design Center is announcing the debut of its brand new Design House, located on the fifth floor of their building, 300 D St. S.W. The WDC has lined up Washington’s best of the best to design it first — the WDC Hall of Fame Designers, including Olivia Adamstein, Frank Randolph, Nestor Santa-Cruz and more. Elle Décor magazine, one of the few interior design pubs not made mincemeat by the economy, will serve as media sponsor for this exciting project.

The Halls of Fame Design House will be revealed at a black tie gala on May 20 and run through Dec. 4. All proceeds from the Design House will benefit WDC’s charity partner, Georgetown University Hospital/Department of Pediatrics. Admission is free. www.dcdesignhouse.com.
