The CADC Bloomingdale-Fest!

Alrighty Bloomies...get on your mark...get set...

In one short month we are unleashing Bloomingdale's best neighborhood event!

Mark your calendars for Saturday May 19th-8am-2pm

The 9th Annual Bloomingdale Community Day and Yard Sale Event is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  This event takes place in one of DC's greatest neighborhood achievements-Crispus Attucks Park.  All proceeds raised at this event help pay for the park's $10,000 a year maintenance upkeep bill. The governing body, Crispus Attucks Development Corp. (CADC) and its network of volunteers and supporters are extremely proud of the park and what it gives to the neighborhood. 

Check out the park's official website at www.crispusattuckspark.org for more information about the park and CADC.

We're serving up a mess of goodies this year:

Music-if you missed the trio last year you really missed it...we've got even more up our sleeves this year

Loads of vendors-this could be you selling your wares just in time for a little spring spruce up...contact me for a registration form or if you would like to donate items to the CADC table

CADC Snack Stand-burgers, half smokes and sweets...Oh My!

2012...And we're off!

Talk about starting 2012 off with a bang...a pop...a drop it likes its hot...

I believe in being true to who you are...being authentic.  When you deliver a product that you've poured your heart and soul into, it shows. 

I celebrated New Years Eve simultaneously with the one year anniversary of Smith Commons DC- the Washington, DC dining and public house our team completed just one short year ago.  I was overjoyed as the compliments continue to roll in- "the space looks and feels great" and I agree.  I agree not because I had a hand in it, but because it does.  I thoroughly enjoy being there.  The space feels amazing, the food is wonderful, the drinks are delightful and the music is always on point.

With a new year comes a set of new projects that I am so excited to be a part of.  First up is an intimate concert venue.  Planning has begun...stay tuned for pics and progress updates.  2012 is sure to ROCK!

The stage is set...Lights...Camera...Sold!

Actors take your places-another staging project complete and this property is on its way to SOLD!

Staging a property can save the homeowner time and money.  Studies show that staged properties on average spend less time on the market and can distinguish them from the competition.  Preparing your home for prospective buyers gives them a pleasant experience and allows them to imagine themselves in the space. The investment to have your property staged by a professional can be worth its weight in gold.
