There again were protesters cheering for federal employees at the metro exit today. I made eye contact with a woman walking next to me, we were both emotional, and she turned to me and said “this too shall pass.” Grasping for hope today.

All the hours I spent restoring this salvaged cast iron fireplace summer cover and now it’s the backdrop to some ABCs 😭❤️ #oldhouselove

As Trump declares war on Washington, it’s worth remembering that it’s a real place filled with real people, and these attacks are doing real damage to it.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

There are some people with big signs cheering and thanking all the federal employees exiting the L’Enfant metro this morning 😭❤️

“When you look at potential dystopic futures, often the path from here to there is made possible from
everyone, individually, doing what seems to be safest in the short term.”
Column | How Trump’s Kennedy Center takeover could change the arts
President Trump’s plans to police DEI language and control the Kennedy Center show an intent to use the government’s enormous coercive power over the cultural sector.

I bought this letterpress print over a decade ago and it’s my forever mood. It hangs in the world’s tiniest powder room we created out of an existing closet space on our first floor. Before and after below. #oldhouselove

Sometimes I think about all the all the fires that have warmed this room, all the kids who have run across these pine floors, and all the iterations of this world that this house has seen over the past 150 years. #oldhouselove

Went for a mental health walk and other than a small gathering outside the DOL, the city was gray and quiet. Some evidence of earlier protests.

We see all of you, D.C. Please, America, help us. Thank you—you give us hope.

I love DC so much that we bought this home to put down real roots here. It’s helpful to remember that the corrupt people who have invaded our city are outnumbered by the sane citizens—and we will not be silent or go willingly. #oldhouselove

If you live in an old house with exposed brick, you might be interested in learning about the work of historian Ben Jackson. I’ll share some photos in the comments of fingerprints I’ve found in my brick walls. #oldhouselove

Every time I go thrifting, I pick up as many banned/challenged books as I can for my library. This is today’s haul.

In the peak of the pandemic, we bought this 150 year old historic row home. Luckily the previous owners left many of the original details untouched. As lovers of all things historic and vintage, we’re working to uncover and showcase our home’s good bones #oldhouselove
