That's a great point. We've seen a bunch of bungalows in Del Ray where the owners have opted to keep their vintage bathrooms and fixtures. Here's an excellent example of how homeowners salvaged what they could and renovated to fit the style and character of the original home: http://diydelray.com/2011/09/15/a-restored-1920s-bungalow-goes-off-the-grid/

ReplyI'm loving the earlier time -- I've run the trot the past few years and always wished it was earlier, so this is great. Especially love how people come out on their porches, drinking coffee, snacking on breakfast, and supporting the runners. A real community-building event. Our road is also blocked and we have to travel out of town for t-giving dinner, but it's never been an issue. Can't wait for this year's event!

I moved to Del Ray from Arlington in 2004. Although I grew up in Northern VA I had never heard of Del Ray. I knew some friends who had moved to Del Ray because houses were cheaper than in other parts of the area, so I followed. I fell in love with Del Ray the first time I drove down Commonwealth Ave. -- all the old houses and mature trees. My husband and I bought our rowhouse right before the market got crazy. I never want to leave. -- Katie

Where did you get the idea there are homeless, drug addicted artists sharing the space? This is not a co-op. Sarah, a graduate student and interior designer, is living in the house. She's fixing it up and at the same time hosting events and offering studio space. You can learn more about this on her blog at http://theemptyhousestudio.blogspot.com/
