Kelley Proxmire Interior Design Politicians may wrangle in Washington, but design partisans in the region aren't filibustering -- they're heading to the third annual DC Design House, now welcoming visitors through May 9 in the Maryland suburb of Chevy Chase. Benefiting the Children’s Hospital Foundation of the Children’s National Medical Center, this year’s Design House features rooms by 22 designers in a 10,000-square-foot Beaux Arts brick mansion at 3911 Bradley Lane, which once served as the site for Harry S. Truman’s presidential inauguration party, as well as the residence of the ambassador of Uruguay. The spaces include a reception room by Nestor Santa-Cruz, an artist’s studio by Tracy Morris, and a master dressing room by Celia Welch.

“For our third year, we wanted to select a home whose historical significance, prestige and living spaces would beautifully complement the talents of our chosen designers,” says Skip Singleton, co-chair of the DC Design House. “This year’s designs are poised to be our best yet, and we couldn’t be happier to create a visual and inspirational experience for visitors that will in turn benefit the Children’s National Medical Center.” Tickets to the house are $20 and can be purchased in person or in advance on the DC Design House website. Furnishings in the house are also available to purchase, with a percentage of the sales also going to the Children’s National Medical Center.
