We don’t really care what the groundhog saw a few weeks ago — spring is on its way to Washington, and it’s time to start sprucing up. If you’re anything like us, you’ve already gotten a head start by shoving your puffy jacket in the back of your closet to make way for the spring stuff you pre-ordered. (Hey, that totally counts as organizing!)
Need a little motivation to get started on the rest of your place? This weekend, revamp your pad without dropping a fortune by snagging some chic-and-cheap finds at Italian design house Alessi’s annual sale. Inside the Cady's Alley modern mecca, you can score 70% off floor samples, discontinued items, and slightly irregular designer goods to dress up your kitchen, bath, or bar. It's the perfect opportunity to scoop up gifts for foodie friends and newly-= engaged pals, but we wouldn't blame you for using the discount as motivation to wipe down your own apartment and have your BFFs over for brunch. Just note: We’ve got dibs on the cheese knives and Julia Child-worthy copper pots.
When: Now through February 29.
Where: Alessi DC, 3319A Cady’s Alley NW; 202-298-0407.
