Transitional Style with Contemporary Finishes in Reston Renovation

Another beautiful project from Tim Burch Jr. and his talented BOWA team.

Our client found this home by a lake in Reston and saw its potential as a “cozy treehouse” filled with light. However, it needed a renovation to take it from dated and inefficient to the comfortable, inviting home of her dreams with transitional style and contemporary finishes.

From Cathedral Rock in Sedona, AZ to the Washington National Cathedral here in DC. A powerful tribute by Meghan McCain.

And a powerful statement by #JohnMcCain, in planning his own bipartisan memorial service. Those who want to put America first, or make America great, should strive to unite, not divide, Americans.

Shepard Fairey Honors 50 Years of Johnny Cash's "At Folsom Prison" for Wide Open Walls

MusicPlanetRadio.com invites you to watch this amazing mural being created. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash's iconic live album "At Folsom Prison," celebrated street artist/muralist Shepard Fairey, just completed a 15-story mural for Wide Open Walls in Sacramento, California. The mural depicts an image interpreted from Jim Marshall’s legendary 1968 photo of Johnny. Fairey – who shares Cash’s passion for prison reform – hopes it will help ignite conversation around mass incarceration reform.

This mural joins two other large works from the American Civics series that have been painted by Fairey: The image of Fannie Lee Chaney in the “Voting Rights” piece can be seen in San Francisco’s Mission District and the image of Cesar Chavez in the “Workers Rights” piece can be seen in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood.

The five-piece portfolio of prints comprising American Civics can be seen in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution Archives here in DC and in its permanent residency at the California State Library.

Foo Fighters Give Me Stitches Cal Jam 18 Pop-Up

MusicPlanetRadio.com welcomed Foo Fighters last October to The Anthem's grand opening in DC. This week the Foos got some practice time ahead of their Cal Jam 18 Festival in the parking lot of The Palladium in Hollywood. The free pop-up concert promoted a group called The Holy Sh*ts.

Turns out that group was actually Foo Fighters! Love Dave Grohl's sense of humour.

They delivered a set of rarities not usually found in their setlists including "Gimme Stitches," a song not played since 2008. #FooFighters #GimmeStitches #CalJam18
