Staff is friendly, welcoming, and helped me quickly find what I needed while giving great recommendations. Despite being a smaller store, they were well stocked and had a great selection of the essentials and then some. They do a number of community events and help promote things in the community as well. Unless I know for certain that I cannot find it at Annie's, this will be my first stop for any home and hardware needs.

One of the most beautiful alleys in Washington, D.C. is steeped in history.

It's also a great alley to plan spot as airplanes land at nearby National Airport.

Anyways, If I had an unlimited budget, I would do most of my lamp shopping here. Okay, so they do sell some great chairs and tables - but they take antique statuary and old metal pieces and make the most fantastic lamps. Also, Allyson, the manager, is super sweet. What's even more exciting is they have a sister store in Palm Beach - which is a tad bit closer for me to visit. Definitely stop by!

It's a home goods boutique with beautiful goods that fit in with a variety of styles - but they specialize in French, Italian, and Southern designs. The boutique is perhaps even more beautiful than Frederick location, and I found lots of beautiful things for sale (glassware, serving ware, greeting cards, books). The customer service could have been a bite more welcoming (the member of staff at the register didn't speak to me during my visit), but it's a lovely boutique. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for decor for their home or anyone shopping for gifts for friends.

This gallery is not to be missed! I was walking from place to place and needed a good AC break, and…read morethis was the PERFECT spot to stop. It is two stories and has a decent amount of art, but can be pretty easily done in 30-45 min. There is much more than traditionally framed art- there are light installations, interactive pieces, and all kinds of different textures and modes of art. I was impressed to see a Chihuly chandelier too! A great mix of small, impactful pieces and large grand ones. So many great photo moments. The staff here were wonderful. Passionate and helpful. The security was also so kind and I chit chatted with them throughout my visit. This is one of those places that makes you feel patriotic without feeling political. I was in awe of all the amazing things I learned here.

The shop also features a wide variety of handcrafted goods from local DC artists and makers--everything from candles and hats to bags, prints, and more.

It's a great spot to support local creatives, find a unique gift, or simply spend a relaxing evening with friends. I'd definitely come back to explore more of their events and shop their collection again.

Great value and great service. I highly recommended this place if you're looking for DC themed stuff.
