Squam Residence
Recently completed by J. Brown Builders, this custom home on the island 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, hides its fascinating contemporary interiors well behind its shingled facade. Bright and sophisticated, the interiors of this dream home display an open floor plan in which social encounters are easy to provoke. White walls were matched with light wooden floors to create an airy atmosphere. Colorful furniture and furnishings were chosen to enliven the spaces and glass was chosen for the staircase railings and several space dividers to allow light to fill the interiors.

LIFERS WHAT DID YOU TAKE FROM THIS ?
TWEETBOT
Tweetbot ($3) has just updated their iPhone app, and it’s better than ever. Most noticeable for those of you who have used previous versions of Tweetbot are the design changes, as it now looks much more at home on iOS7 with a paired-down, minimalist white interface, rounded avatars, new animations, and transitions. They’ve also made it simpler to use, getting a lot of the chrome out of the way in favor of a content-first focus. It now takes fewer swipes to view profiles, and see conversations, while some of the same features you’ve always liked are still present (muting functionality, customizable screens, and much more).
