today i’m thrilled to welcome elka karl of casasugar to the d*s guest blog. not only because she’s a great writer, but because she’ll be covering a topic i’ve wanted to cover on d*s for years: co-habitation design. whether you’ve moved in with a husband/boyfriend, wife/girlfriend, sibling or a random roommate from craigslist, you’ve probably experienced a few bumps on the design road when trying to find good compromises for two different design styles. lord knows that when ac and i moved in together the honeymoon ended precisely when we had to choose paint colors for our new apartment. i wish there had been a manual on how to “combine styles” but sadly there isn’t. so i’m excited to read elka’s posts on the guest blog this week as she features friends, siblings and couple’s who have managed to successfully combine styles. click here to check out elka’s first post on her own home. welcome, elka!

Something isn’t right with the guest blog page. You have to scroll over (a lot!) to read the text.

it’s viewing fine for me- are you reading via a rss reader or directly on the page?
just a shoot me a line at designsponge@gmail.com and we’ll figure out what’s going on.

That’s definitely something we all encounter at some point in our lives. I think it’s happening progressively in my relationship with my bf. We moved into an apt where you can’t paint walls, so I wear more the design pants on this one. But his military background definitely helped with all the things he brought back from Korea, Thailand and Europe. This way he feels he’s contributed with the decor, and he’s got taste.

I have to scroll back and forth to veiw, too! (One of the images is really wide and is making the whole page display really wide, too). I’m reading directly from the page
