There are 10 homes on the tour this year, ranging from a 1940s row house to an amazing “green” renovation to one of the few Del Ray homes with an in-ground pool, according to a description by the Del Ray Citizens Association. "From flights of artistic fancy to small spaces lived large, the tour has a little something for everyone," DRCA notes.
The tour is an opportunity to check out the work of local architects and builders and to get great ideas on paint colors, tiles, decorative hardware, bath and kitchen fixtures and more.
