If you've always skipped past the Weekend Guide thinking that we only cover New York, Chicago and LA, you may want to stop and take a look. This week, in addition to our usual haunts, we've listed events in Nashville, Philadelphia and Seattle. And for you agoraphobics out there, we've rounded up plenty of online sales too. Check it all out in the Weekend Guide, pass it on and send us your own sale or event. More

Name: Edith
Location: NW Washington DC
Size: 1,200 square feet
Years lived in: 1+ year

It's a cool apartment but not at all cold. I could tell right away that Edith (who falls in that enviable 20-something age bracket) loves to entertain.

I love coming across new stores that specialize in furniture for small spaces. That Creative Classics also stocks furniture that's made in the USA is an added bonus. From sleeper sofas to storage beds, Creative Classics stocks a wide assortment of smaller scale furniture in both traditional and more modern styles.
