Heh, and you and Keebster are more than welcome in turn! (I just wish I still had the huge old Doggy-Paradise semi-wild yard for him to go rampaging through...but still there are some decent parks to explore around here, and charmer that he is he'd probably be just as happy with the three-mile hike to Petco, with treats and petting at the end of it!
I've not got a lot of guest space, unless folks like sharing a rather thin convertible futon with an exceptionally snuggly pibble, but I swear I must be located right on the major cheap-lodging corridor leading in to the touristy parts of Old Town proper; out walking Biscuit, I've spotted absolute TONS of inexpensive motels, both chains and little local indies, within walking distance. There's a couple of major highways intersecting here, I'm right on top of a Metro station and the DCA airport is just a few stops down on the trainline, so really if you're ever doing a show in the DC region this neighborhood looks to be an excellent option for affordable rooms.
I've finally found a nearby hardware store, so I'll probably be getting a bit of cheap paint for some of my recent dumpster-dived finds...but I probably won't do anything quite so pretty or ambitious as even unfinished, they really go with each other and the rest of this stuff in this very open, minimalist front space. Mostly I think I'd just do a very few small solid glossy black accents to help tie the honey-pine stuff better to the plain black stuff (and, koff, to cover up the Sharpie scribbles on the top of that otherwise-cool foyer table!).
