Winter dreams and color schemes. This issue, the fifth of SHM, is all about embracing warmth with white. Even if your backdrop isn’t snowy, you can still use white to brighten your home and create an airiness that lasts year round. Visit the small homes of designer Leanne Ford, whose Pennsylvania cottage makeover was originally featured on her HGTV show Home Again with the Fords; author and design enthusiast Niki Brantmark, whose cozy cabin was built from scratch and featured on her blog My Scandinavian Home; an airbnb cottage nestled in the hills of Canada that will make you crave winter all year long, and so much more!

Be inspired in 2025 to make your home its best, and remember, spring is just around the corner….
