Opdahl House ....back to gorgeous.

Architect Edward Killingsworth’s masterpiece, the 1957 Opdahl House, was in desperate need of a renovation & thanks to a musician, it has come to fruition. Dwell was generous enough to highlight this home in their slide show tours section. Amongst the photos you'll also be able to read about how the 'Opdahl House' has recaptured it's beauty. It's located in Long Beach, California with an entryway set back 42 feet from the street, (dedicating half of the lot to a gorgeous entryway that includes a garden,carport and a small reflecting pool. It is similar to a sanctuary and any one of us would be lucky to live there.

Dwell Magazine Modern Home Renovation.....

Dwell Magazine is one of my 'must-buy' magazines! I have a ton of them! Dwell's website is quite a treat as well & you can be sure to catch some amazing (good sized) interior shots there.

Don't you hate when sites don't have good sized photos?? What do I mean by good sized?? Well, photos that you can actually see, where you don't have to squint every time you look at it.

Dwell has a section called 'HOMES' - which I am addicted to, seriously. This one home in particular caught my eye. It's a renovation put together in San Francisco. The house itself, was built in 1901 (5 years before the terrible 1906 earthquake). It was an old Victorian home measuring 1,040 square feet & after renovations it measured just over 2,170 square feet. Doubling in size, amazing! Here's the project in it's final state.
