From a family home in Scotland to a cozy garden apartment in Brooklyn to a little San Francisco house, this week's tours feature homes that are beautiful, textured, and interesting, filled with quirky art and treasured objects. Come on in and stay a while — we think you'll feel right at home. 

This was an exciting week on Renovation Diary, as we kicked off two new projects: in Texas, Sandra and Justin are transforming their cramped, oddly laid out old kitchen, while in an old house in Ohio, Faith and Mike are creating a bathroom out of what used to be a sleeping porch. Also this week, Andi shared the final, detailed budget for her gorgeous kitchen renovation.

If your home is small (under 1000 square feet) and cool (of course it is!) then you know what to do. We invite you to inspire us - and impress our new-for-2013 judges panel - with photos of your compact home along with your real-life tips for living well in stylish small spaces.

Beautiful dining chairs from IKEA's new Stockholm line, available in the US this August.

A fun little stool from Fatboy - comfy and supportive, all at the same time.

Love this ombré bench from UK maker Ercol.

Covetable rugs from Fab.

We love Blu Dot's Scamp table - beautiful, modern, versatile.
