Do not put me in the dishwasher. Soap made for hand-washing dishes gets super sudsy, which can mess with the mechanics inside a dishwasher and send foam spilling out from behind the door. A dishwasher-specific detergent works with minimal suds to prevent this from happening. Can I get a refill? Hang on to that empty bottle. Many dish soap manufacturers sell jumbo containers, allowing you to keep refilling the original bottle—which cuts waste and can save you money. I’ll bring houseplants back to life. If a plant has started drooping because its potting soil has become so dry that it no longer absorbs water, try dousing the soil with 1/4 teaspoon of dish soap per gallon of H2O. The soap helps the soil retain water long enough for the plant’s…

Yes, it’s the same ottoman! It’s a multitasking coffee table alternative With its pattern of navy diamonds, the large-scale ottoman really juices up a neutral sofa. An upholsterer removed the fringe and tufting, then added a new top cushion and large-nailhead trim around the bottom edge. Tapered wood legs with casters make a piece like this easy to scoot around.…

You may have noticed that we don’t believe in strict decorating rules at this magazine. We’re more the cheerleader type: here to give you encouragement and the confidence to try something new, maybe even something you never thought you would. What if you painted your living room walls a super-dark color? What if you hung a chandelier in your laundry room? What if you tossed a leopard-print pillow on your sofa—next to a floral one?! In this issue, we dreamed up a bunch of what-ifs for a special feature called “Be a Little More Daring With Your Decorating” (page 33). I dare you to try a few ideas that are just a smidge outside your comfort zone. I did. I wondered, what if I paired green (my least favorite color)…

My leaves look like rocks. flowering stones No one would fault you for mistaking these petite succulents for a pile of pebbles. Also called lithops, the plant is known for its uniquely marked gray, brown, or rust-color leaves, which grow in a rounded, pebble-like shape. Plant it in well-draining soil in a sunny spot (indoors or out), and water sparingly only when it flowers, which is usually in fall. I react to touch. sensitive plant Brush your fingers against or blow on this annual and you’ll see how it earned its name. The plant’s delicate fernlike leaves fold inward when touched, shaken, or moved in any way. Give them about an hour and they’ll spring back open. To keep the plant healthy, place it in a sunny area, and water…

…to put food that’s still hot in the fridge? Perishable food shouldn’t sit out longer than two hours, so it’s important to get that soup/casserole/stew in the refrigerator sooner rather than later. Just make sure that once it’s in the fridge, your food doesn’t remain hot long enough for bacteria to grow. To get food to cool down quickly, “divide it into a few shallow containers, then stagger them on different shelves in the fridge to allow airflow,” says Kantha Shelke, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the Institute of Food Technologists. Bonus: Refrigerating hot food in sealed containers can make leftovers more flavorful because they lock in the aromatics. not so bad! …to keep charging your phone after it hits 100%?

“Try new things to achieve a look you’ve never seen. Custom-designing this marbleized graphic wall mural was the fun part, getting it installed 20' above the ground was the challenge. The impact brought this dull stairwell to new heights.” “Be bold, even in traditional spaces. Lacquering a traditional white dining room black from top to bottom was quite nerve-racking, but the result was a dramatic, sexy space that the clients and I love.” “Believe in your instincts and push boundaries. This kitchen had a bright aqua backsplash that the homeowner loved, but I convinced him that a new approach would enhance the stone arch. I sweated the reveal, but it turned out to be a very cool kitchen.” Never settle—from design to deodorant. Secret Clinical Strength® delivers 2X the wetness…

a s an HGTV designer with decades of experience, Vern Yip knows when a room works and when it falls short. The old kitchen in his Atlanta, GA, home? “It just didn’t cut it,” says Vern. With its choppy layout, limited storage, and crammed together appliances, it was in need of some serious love. So Vern set out on a renovation to create a space where he and his partner, Craig Koch, could prep meals and do dishes but still hang out with their kids, Gavin, 6, and Vera, 5. By combining a little-used seating area with the existing kitchen, he doubled the square footage. But that’s not the only way he went big. “I used lots of really strong, unique graphics,” Vern says, of the zebra-print tablecloths, the subway…

for more than a decade, as they lived in rentals in New York and California, Katy and Ken Byers were squirreling away design ideas for their future forever home. So when they relocated to Nashville, TN, in 2013 and snapped up a new-construction Craftsman-style bungalow, they knew exactly how they wanted to modify it. “After being nomadic for years, we were excited to own a home and finally make it ours,” says Katy. The couple, free of the decor restraints imposed by landlords, started customizing almost every inch of the 3,100-squarefoot space. Working closely with the builders over a nine-month stretch, they added character-rich details, like exposed-brick walls and stainless steel kitchen countertops, to create a rusticmodern style. Salvaged and industrial materials, one-of-a-kind accessories the pair made themselves, and timeworn…
