When does your real estate agent beg you not to paint over the graffiti on the side of your house? When it’s good, really good. An otherwise unremarkable house for sale in Collingwood, Melbourne with artwork by DOES, Adnate and Sirum. Link here while it lasts.

Close your eyes and imagine the quintessential Palm Springs pad. Low lines and clean lines. White and bright. Hard and cool. Glass and grass. Glitz and golf. Midcentury and modern. Pool and so so cool. With both feet in a glamorous past take a leap into the future. Spring. Palm Springs. The Eldorado Residence by Emily Summers Design Associates.

I wish summer would last forever. To sit here at my computer with the window open and listen to the birds, traffic (LOL), and enjoy the cool breeze. To see green outside instead of white and brown. I could just move into a traditional Mediterranean villa such as this one and all would be right with the world. (I would have to add a bit of black and more modern and industrial touches to it though). Via Micasa.

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Kim,
Happy birthday to youuuuuuuu!

A family home should be playful. Perhaps a little whimsy. Definitely some colour. Pattern yes. Light and open. Sunny and fun. Just like this Hawthorne residence by Melborne design firm Doherty Lynch.
