Does your street name influence your home decor? Residents on Swann Street (north of Dupont Circle) have incorporated swan sculptures and planters in their gardens. These fun garden accessories have us wishing we lived on a street with a better name. We love strolling through the District to gaze at the brownstone gardens....

My good friend George lives on St. George street. I always thought that was kind of neat. :)

I moved from Henry Street in one city to Henry Avenue in another! I'm convinced if I have a son, he will need to be named Hank.

My neighborhood name influences my gardening. I live in the Columbine neighborhood of Littleton, CO, and have included several varieties of Columbine in my garden, including the one called "Remembrance" after the students who were killed at our high school.
