Look at the closer design and tell you the askg price. In tie all that space together. With an open floor plan, you need to separate it with furniture. Bassett had everything that we needed. Fabric combinations marry the rooms together. Having someone with bassett has been invaluable. We couldve never dreamed up this room without bassett. A warning from the twitter, the tweet said the dose of Winter Weather expected in our region on saturday, always a potential for Road Conditions to change rapidly. Be alert. Vdot is warning drivers about possible delays because crews are pretreating the roads. That is a good point. Really Pay Attention if you have to go somewhere tomorrow. But if you dont have to this time were not just talking about snow but the possibility of ice. That changes the scenario big time. Im kind of calling it an icy mix and thats because well see snow at the onset of the event early tomorrow morning. Then well see transition over to like a sleet and freezing rain type deal and temperatures are going to stay in the 30s, right around freezing tomorrow. We are looking at freezing rain advisories through part of the area, mostly farther west and across i81. We will be watching very closely to see if its extended maybe through other parts of our area, especially later on this afternoon. For now we dont have to worry about that, 52 cooler today than yesterday. If you have the friday plans, expect temperatures to be in the 40s. By lunchtime today or really right now or next hour, many areas are dropping in the upper 40s, 47 degrees and breezy but dry, dinner low 40s. We have a freezing rain advisory already like i mentioned west of the district near the Shenandoah Valley and points west.

We could see this event through the afternoon as well. Theres a storm system. Look at that pink around st. Louis. That is in fact a wintry icy mix but most likely freezing rain. Thats what gives us the icy road. Dry through the rest of today and midnight, there you see starting to move in, a wintry mix approaching, now we have snow by 8 00 a. M. Across the district and areas north and west e seeing the transition to freezing rain with ice around. By 3 00 p. M. , still looking at the wintry mix, well see everything. Snow and freezing rain and sleet and that will be the case through the afternoon, tapering off in the evening. Sunday looks better. Temperatures closer to 40. What you can expect for saturday, maybe a dusting to two inches farther north of the district but well see the change over to sleet and ice. The pink showing where well mainly see ice and rain farther down south. If youre planning your day tomorrow, 8 00 in the morning, well already be seeing snow through a good portion of the area but a wintry mix including that sleet and freezing rain developing by noon, wintry mix around. A messy cold day tomorrow. Well see lots of different types of precip tomorrow, even through the afternoon. With temperatures around freezing and by 7 00 p. M. , still the chance of a shower. Sunday looks better, improvement. Could see showers early monday and milder next week. Thanks, entire neighborhood all in the basement of your home. For one house in potomac maryland, thats the case. Reporter name pretty much anything you need and you can probably find it in this quiet neighborhood. Turkey foot road and jones lane they squeezed in front porches, a church and bar and even a massage parlor.

The current owners custom designed the house. Those two straits streets named after real life streets near the childhood home. Most of the doors are fake but the charm is very much real.
