1 form bowls 1. Flip a plastic bowl upside down, and place strips of double sided tape on its base. starting at the center of the base, begin coiling polyester rope (the tape will help hold it in place on the bowl). continue coiling it around the bowl, hot-gluing the rope to itself as you go. once you reach the bowl’s rim, cut the rope, then remove the bowl and tape. Melt the rope’s end with a match or a lighter so it doesn’t unravel, and secure it with hot glue. 2. Paint the bottom third of the rope bowl with crafts paint. Let dry.

although Erin and Sheldon Bryan loved the sprawling layout of the ranch home they bought last year, they didn’t love its stuck-in-the-’60s decor. “It had awful wallpaper, and the floors were either heinous carpet or wood that felt hollow when you walked on it,” says Erin. With three kids (Crichton, 14; Hendley, 10; and Byrdie, 8), four dogs, and two cats, the Bryans knew a down to-the-studs reno was out of the question, so they focused on what they could update fast. That meant fresh paint, new wide-plank hardwood floors, and a not-for-the-faint-of-heart mix of graphic prints devised by local designer Andrew Howard. “Everywhere you look there’s a pop of something fun,” says Erin. LIVING ROOM Since it’s visible from the entry, Erin wanted the fireplace to make a statement.…

rose vs. rose of sharon A symbol of love and a favorite for bouquets, roses come in hundreds of colors, shapes, and sizes. Often fragrant, they grow on climbing vines and shrubs as far north as Alaska. The rose of Sharon isn’t a rose but a heat-loving hibiscus. This easy-care flowering shrub is known for its hardiness and scentless, trumpet-shaped blossoms, many with a red center. Griddle vs. grill pan With a large, fat surface and a low lip for easy flipping, a griddle is ideal for making batches of pancakes and fried eggs. It comes in round, rectangular, and square styles. A grill pan has ridges that elevate food, allowing fat to drain of for lightertasting results. It also creates sear marks like the ones an outdoor grill makes.…

REFRIGERATOR You’re wasting moolah if you’re not de-griming your fridge’s gasket, the rubber seal around the door. A gasket gunked up with food and liquid spills compromises the airtight seal, forcing the fridge to use more electricity to keep the inside cool. Clean the gasket with soap and warm water regularly, and replace it if you see cracks, warps, or tears HAIR DRYER It looks tidier, but winding the cord tightly around the dryer after each use can stress the electrical wiring. Over time, kinked wires can spark or the dryer can short out. To prolong your dryer’s life span, either let the cord hang free or gather and loosely secure it with Velcro. SLOW COOKER Lifting the lid on a slow cooker while it’s working is tempting, but even…

keep your flowers looking good ● Use lukewarm water rather than cold to encourage flowers to open more quickly. ● Never stick cut blooms in direct sun—they will wilt. ● Keep leaves out of vase water. They can breed bacteria that kill plants. ● Don’t own flower snips? Cut blooms at an angle with a sharp knife, not scissors, which can crush stems. ● Start every arrangement by putting three stems in the vase at an angle, each facing a different way. Fill in the spaces between them and presto—a perfect arrangement every time!…

big o little boxes? “Lots of little boxes are better than a few big boxes. people tend to overload big boxes, which makes them tough to lift. As a general rule, the heavier the box, the smaller it should be.” —Jack Griffin, president and COO of Atlas Van Lines 83.8% percentage of Americans who moved between 2013 and 2014 but stayed within the same state. Source: U.S. Census Bureau get a few quotes “Try for three estimates before settling on a moving company, and rule out the guys who will give you a quote only over the phone—you want an in-person visit.

“Maybe I’m a biased Bostonian, but you can’t get any better than a patriotic lobster platter. How else would you serve up grilled surf and turf?” —Taniya Nayak, HGTV designer “Crisp stripes in thick and thin widths make this pillow a winner. Thanks to the outdoor-friendly fabric, it can comfy up hard patio chairs.” —Genevieve Gorder, HGTV designer “This woven basket has an old-time Americana vibe that I love. Keep it by the back door, and toss bottles of sunscreen in it.” —Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper “I’m a total Yankee-Doodle on the Fourth, so this pitcher rocks. I’ll use it for drinks or fll it with little party- favor fags.” —David Bromstad, Beach Flip “On horribly humid days, you have to give guests extratall tumblers like these. And the bright…

...to store tomatoes in the fridge? A chilled tomato is not a tasty tomato. Once the fruit reaches a temperature of about 39°F, the chemical compounds that give it its smell and taste begin to break down, causing it to become bland and mealy, says Kristen Quito, chef at Le Verdure, the vegetable-centric restaurant in New York City’s Eataly food market. Too-low temps can also stop a tomato from fully ripening. To guarantee your salads and tomato-based dishes always taste delish, store the produce on the counter at room temperature. It should last there for four to six days. pretty bad! ...to use the same loofah over and over again? Do so and you may be lathering more than just body wash onto your skin. While those spongy poufs make…

green blue BY FARROW & BALL “Straddling the fence between blue and green, this is a hard-topin-down color—which is great. It’s a chameleon you can pair with coral, cobalt blue, and teal, like the headboard and window shades. I think either/or colors are very versatile, especially in a bedroom.” —ANNSLEY MCALEER, ANNSLEY INTERIORS, BOSTON, MA down pour By BEHR “I teamed up with my design partner, Suysel dePedro Cunningham, to overhaul my kitchen, and we both fell head over heels for this nickel gray. The color had to feel industrial—I live in a loft in a converted soap factory—without seeming stark. This shade nails it.” —Anne Maxwell Foster, Tilton Fenwick, New york, Ny oh so red By VALSPAR “Anthony and I reno’ed this house for Cousins Undercover. The place had…

sea glass For a mellow sand-and-sea vibe, style your space with sea glass–inspired accessories, like the lamps in this laid-back living room. You can find the green blue hue on everything from doorknobs to vases. cabana stripes Nothing says seaside like wide stripes. Blue paired with white is the best-known duo, but crisp white alternating with almost any color delivers beachiness, too. The freshest way to do the pattern? With furniture, including poufs and painted chests. shells To bring the shore indoors without going overboard, try a sophisticated shell-motif accessory, like a weather-resistant rug patterned with sand dollars or a pair of white nautilus bookends. maps Complete with current flows and depth measurements, detailed nautical charts create a hoist-the-sails feel.

about the house BUILT IN: 1928 BOUGHT IN: 1990 SIZE: 1,850 sq. ft. “We didn’t like the outside of this house at frst. The porch was screened in, the paint colors drab, and the shrubs overgrown.
