Last night I was so excited to get a sneak peak of the HUGE new CB2 which is opening this weekend in Georgetown. After both potterybarn and west elm closed in the city, we really lost all locations for inexpensive, fun home items.
CB2 offers fun, colorful and modern home furnishings and accessories at a startingly low pricepoint (no, they didn't pay me to say that!). While I wouldn't advise filling an entire apartment or house with their products (overkill), a piece or two in a room really would liven up any space by adding color and good, clean design.
I loved this green coffee table, the wheels really are so practical!
The red metal shelf over the bed really caught my eye; not just for the pop of color but also for the unique shelf layout. I could see this in an office or even a bathroom, providing extra storage.
These 3 Pablo side tables were my favorite piece of furniture in the store. The best part -the set is ONLY $129. SERIOUSLY. They look like amazing mid-century pieces to me!
This 'Fold' desk was very elegant; I loved the yellow top and the lady bug rug was so fun; great for a kids room (especially at $199)!
Speaking of rugs, they carry FLOR tiles in store! I had never actually seen them in person and was surprised by their quality.
More than just furniture, their accessories are an easy and even less expensive way to add some color to your house.
This buddha pillow would bring a smile to my face everyday for sure.
Yellow seems to be the really big color everyone is pushing. These yellow canary tealight holders were so cute. I could see them lining your kitchen table, much like they do this headboard.
Or use them to decorate your houseplants! A percentage of sales from this weekend (April 30-May 1) will go to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank; a great excuse to shop for a great cause!
CB2 is located at 3307 M Street NW, across from Cadys alley.

At first glance, the cemetery appears to be more of a park than a resting place for loved ones. In fact, even on the gloomy, rainy day I was there (I call it Pittsburgh weather) the grounds were filled with joggers, dog walkers and people enjoying the warm spring weather.
This Egyptian Revival mausoleum was interesting: I suspect the family buried there was very very stylish.
Oh to live in a semi-tropical climate; this took our breathe away!
Another outdoor restaurant; Modernism seems to fit this warm climate much better than in the North, don't you think?
I loved this one group of buildings which appeared to be painted concrete. Early modernism inspired by neoclassicsm; one of my architectural weaknesses!
Surrounded by tall, shaded arcades, the buildings provide the perfect place to window shop out of the sun's glare.
While in Miami, definitely take the time to check out this revitalized area: remember to bring your wallets for all of the great shopping!
The little stairhall is decorated with more ancient porcelains and a little gilt table. 
Thick limestone treads are cantilevered off rounded walls forming a beautiful stair with bronze railing. 
Covering the first floor thru the third in an efficient manner, this was probably a more commonly used stair.
Lit by sconces, the plaster walls are painted 2 charming shades of green (which speak so heavily of the era) as well as white plaster details.
Looking straight down, the marble floor on the ground level gives you a focal point with its' design.
The hall is brightly lit by sconces, a leaded glass window as well as a skylight.
Which stair would you choose to take? I'm definitely taking the circular staircase!
