Washington, D.C. - January 27, 2006

Den of Antiquity

Dragonfly Design

2006 has gotten off to a rocky start. You’ve been hungover more days than not, and your apartment’s become a total pigsty. Hence your new motto: “Here’s to doing better in 2007!”

Hold on there, sister. Chinese New Year is January 29, so give yourself — and your home — a second chance with a trip to Dragonfly Design Decor, which is arriving in D.C. on Sunday from its former location in Reston.

Dragonfly features exotic furniture, textiles, and decorative items like Tibetan painted chests, hand-knotted rugs, and cabinets; Chinese altar tables; and Burmese lacquerware. Each item is hand-selected and minimally restored to preserve its unique character and history.

So you’ll be inspired to tidy things up, invite over some friends, and raise a glass to your no-longer-humble abode.

Make way for the next hangover.

Dragonfly Design Decor, 1457 Church Street NW, between 14th and 15th Streets (202-265-3359 or dragonflydd.com).
