In addition to getting married on November 10, 2006 (see wedding blog), Josh and I also recently purchased a new condo in the historic Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Although our building is new construction, the building was designed to reflect and blend with the architecture of the surrounding neighborhood. The result is a warm, yet contemporary building called "The Whitman." The building is named for the author Walt Whitman who called DC home in the 19th century. Whitman, arguably the most influential contemporary American poet, is most famous for his work "Leaves of Grass," which I'm sure most everyone read in high school or college English class.
Our condo is a one bedroom, one bath unit. Our kitchen is beautiful with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The cabinets and the hardwood floors are a cherryish color. And the best part, after almost three years with common laundry, we finally have our very own washer and dryer! I'm posting a picture of the exterior of the building. I'll post more as we see progress.
Congrats on your new place! It looks very nice!
