Bold stripes adorn the stair wall, with prints by Wendy Concannon on the left. Works by Julie Wolfe are on the right.
The by-product of a poorly conceived renovation, a two-story unit in a 100-year-old Logan Circle townhouse cried out for a better fate. Tapped for a redo, Mary Douglas Drysdale first addressed mismatched architectural details and a poorly configured layout. Two non-functioning fireplaces were covered over and simple crown molding was added throughout. She expanded the kitchen into an airy, open space. “The furniture plan was essential to making the space flow,” says Drysdale, who designed or selected pieces with interesting shapes. “The 10-and-a-half-foot wall height was a canvas for a bold, new art collection.” Colorful abstract works, many by local artists, are showcased. Walls in painted stripes—a Drysdale signature—complement the art.
