Design, history, fine living and a worthy cause come together once again for the 2009 Washington, DC Design House, the region’s premiere residential design showcase, and the second iteration of this successful project. In just a couple weeks, DC’s top interior designers will takeover the rectory of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Georgetown Parish, and transform it with the best in today’s home renovation and design ideas. Thousands are expected to visit the completed house when it opens in mid April, and for the second year in a row proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Children’s Hospital Foundation of the Children’s National Medical Center.
The DC Design House was developed by husband and wife team Skip and Debbie Singleton, of DC Living Real Estate, LLC, who co-chair again this year, with an all-volunteer Executive Committee and Design Advisory Panel to execute the large project.
The transformed DC Design House will officially open on Saturday, April 18 for three weeks through May 10, for ticketed tours of the 16 inspired rooms and spaces. The public is invited to see the “before” version of the house on Saturday, February 28, from 11AM – 4PM as part of the Bare Bones Tour, where designers’ presentation boards will be on view, illustrating their visions for the empty rooms. This year’s DC Design House is also a featured home on the 2009 Georgetown House Tour, the longest running continuous tour of private homes in America, on Saturday, April 25th from 11AM – 5PM, and benefits St. John's Episcopal Church.
