Q: We are redoing the exterior of our townhouse. I have gotten approval from the H.O.A. on the color but I am worried about my decision. After looking at the picture and reading the color scheme below, what do you think?
Have you ever had to share a room with a sibling? I did. With my older sister, until she was about...hmmm....thirteen? Fourteen? From what I remember of it, it was fairly fun--apparently, our idea of "cleaning the room" was really shoving everything under the bed. Anyway, twins Britt-Marie and Anna-Lena went one step further and decided to split a huge house in one of Sweden's poshest neighborhoods where both their families (and pets) live together.
There are few things that strike fear into the heart of a scavenger like the sight of a vintage sofa with white upholstery. You just sort of expect a total nightmare of mystery stains, but this example looks to be remarkably clean and in great shape.

Playtime by Ludovic Renson is a concept series of children's furniture with clean lines that also happens to be soft to the touch. If ever there was a concept we'd like to be made and sitting in our own home, it's this! They're a little chic, a little sweet mixed with the right amount of modern.

Name: The Wilkinson Residence
Location: Portland, Oregon
Size: 3300 square feet indoors, 500 square feet of deck space
Years lived in: 6
One look at the exterior of the Wilkinson house (which is referred to as "The Treehouse" by some and "Wave House" by others) and you know you're not about to enter an ordinary home. You may love this house. (Goodness knows, I do.) You may not. But that's not the point. Designed to suit the exact tastes of its occupant – who loves playing the viola, choral singing, and making ice cream on his deck – this house is an inspiring reminder of what's possible when you abandon trends and really think about the kind of home that will make you happy.
Name: Joanna and Josh Billigmeier
Location: Silver Spring, Maryland
Size: 1,800 square feet
Years lived in: 5½
Spring may not be at its full brilliance yet, but if you step inside Joanna and Josh Billigmeier's town house, you'll find a springlike joy radiating from each room. This is appropriate, as Joanna loves her work as an interior designer for Urban Country in Bethesda, and she's known for bringing her work home.
It's always fun to peruse photos of small-space design projects in search of helpful tips for small-space living. There's a lot we can learn from this 700-square-foot Bernal Heights home from S.F.-based Amoroso Design; the designers have employed a few clever and easy tricks for making a tight space comfortable and functional.
This Santa Monica residence seems to scream Dwell, with a California modernist vibe permeating throughout, recognizable by the architect Randy Weinstein’s selection of mixing both finished and unfinished materials, alongside the strong presence of the inside-outside element which characterizes SoCal living (no surprise, consider he previously worked for Richard Meir). But what really caught our eye was the see-through overhead walkway.
While browsing Flickr we came across this cool DIY kitchen storage idea from bloggers House & Fig. They needed an affordable makeshift kitchen storage solution, so they came up with this! The whole thing cost under $20…
Window films are a great way to solve the natural light vs. privacy dilemma present in many bathrooms (our only bathroom window is smack in the middle of the shower stall). Here are a few of our favorite options that are a step above the usual frosty white or faux stained glass.
