Wow! I usually don't go for an all-white scheme...But there's so much texture, and such variety of "whites" in the decor, that it actually does feel cozy and pulled-together in a really appealing way!

As an Oregonian who has emigrated to the east coast, I envy you your Sellwood farmhouse. We real-estate hunted around Sellwood and the Moreland area for a good few years before deciding to just "go big" and move the 3000 miles from the Willamette Valley to the Pioneer Valley, Mass. Like you, we were looking for homes with history and character. We found a 1900 Queen Anne Victorian with wraparound porch, but those Portland homes are equally stunning and rich in history and style.

I miss Portland's eclectic vibrant neighborhoods, shops, Japanese, Chinese and Rose gardens, and amazing food every day. You made a great choice to move there from LA. I hope you are loving it!!

Maybe, perhaps, my favorite ever house tour. The orange triangle is killing me. The very BEST of 70s interior design. What a great eye for color, and for creating peaceful destinations, this woman has.

I love the artful pictures and the pops of color. I am really impressed with the bed and the storage created by the stacked palettes.

I always WANT to invent/reappropriate but I'm not quite as creative as you and it doesn't come as naturally to me.

Really like this.

I have to draw attention to the tall black barrister bookcase opposite the fireplace in the main living room. It's very dark, and too tall in scale compared to the low furniture. It also feels a little like it's competing with the fireplace, which, clearly, is the rightful star of the show. I'd love to see a vintage lowslung teak shelving unit in it's place. You could then use the top as a bar/buffet counter for cocktail party drinks and snacks. Viola!

Now that that trivial matter is out of the way...AWESOME HOME, GUYS. AMAZINGLY WELL DONE INTERIORS!!!!!! Soft, soothing, and pulled-together. Did one of you study design?

Finally, I'd love to know what kind of budget you two were working with.

ps. for example, a white Panton chair, white mod nightstands, some mirrors, and a funky burnt orange area rug and curtains.

Wow. THIS is why I keep coming back to AT. This is real life creative living. I love the ecclectic confluence of colors, pattern and eras. My God, the house exudes JOY!

She is adorable, but I really find her home really boring and lacking in character. Not a fan of the grey and green color combo, either.

Wowwity wow wow wow!

I love that sofa, slip-covered or as-is. It's all win.

"I think the whole point of AT is to show real homes that are not picture perfect, but somehow capture the essence of their occupants." Well put @1smartcookie!!! If we want to get all anal about the spaces let's all head over to Elle Decor or even Dwell. The thing I love about the AT homes are that you do sense that real lives are being lived in these homes. It's palpable, and extremely charming.

This house seems sooooooo cozy. I felt the urge to read a book, drink tea, or take a nap, in every single room that popped up!

The OLNY thing I can say is that I'd love to see some hardwood flooring in that kitchen to complete the "country cottage" adorable-ness.
