is it magic? my favorite summer activities include hosting backyard cookouts, wearing colorful flip-flops, eating ice cream sandwiches, and spending all day at outdoor flea markets. I have a weakness for Good. Old. Stuff. Furniture, art, baskets, jars, dishes, chandeliers—the list is long. Some of my old things are still exactly as I found them, like my favorite vintage road sign, from Joplin, MO. Others I’ve completely redone, like my dining room chairs (see them on my Instagram feed, @hgtvmagsara). Even if a great piece is cracked, dented, and covered in dust, I’m not afraid to buy it. With a little TLC, almost anything can be reincarnated into something modern and cool. Our lifestyle editor, Jodi Kahn, agrees. She makes even the junkiest junk into like-new pieces for our Flea…

worth the TIME testing paints on a wall before committing to a color “Paint can dry a shade lighter or darker than it looks on a chip, so bring home a few samples to try out. Paint a two-foot square of each color on your wall, let them dry, and check how they look throughout the day and night. I once had to part with a pretty light blue because it looked weirdly washed out in the midday sun. Remember to test colors with the lights turned on and of, too.” —Christina El Moussa, Flip or Flop worth the MONEY hiring a window cleaner “Depending on the number of windows you have and how big they are, hiring a pro may cost a few hundred dollars, but it means you…

Meg Caswell was looking well beyond her son’s diaper years when she created this preppy, nautical nursery in her Wilmington, NC, home. Chock-full of graphic prints and adaptable furniture, it can keep pace with 13-month-old Ransom all the way from crib to college. “It’s timeless but still playful,” says Meg. To set the sophisticated tone, she chose a navy blue and kelly green palette, then zinged it up with pops of high-energy orange. Maritime-inspired accessories, like a replica brass porthole, nod to the home’s water views. Even though bed rest in Meg’s third trimester forced her to finish the nursery faster than originally planned, it was a total labor of love. “Ransom is the ultimate client, and this was my gift to him.” chair The matching glider and ottoman, handed…

Summer is busy season for Karen and Brian McMahon. As soon as temperatures start rising, the couple welcomes a steady stream of visitors to their home on Block Island, RI. “Around June we hear from friends we didn’t even know we had!” says Brian. Not that the McMahons are complaining. From the moment the couple broke ground on the cedar-clad house five years ago, they dreamed it would be a destination for them and their grown sons, James, Matt, and Kip. Fast-forward a few years and extended family and friends have joined the party, regularly filling the home’s five bedrooms and detached eight-bed barn. Says Karen, “We’re so fortunate to have this place. We want everyone to experience it.” exterior The house looks sprawling, but it’s actually a moderate 2,499…

angel’s trumpet With showy flowers that become fragrant at night, angel’s trumpet looks (and smells) straight out of paradise. Plant it in spring for blooms through fall. But take note: It's poisonous if eaten, so be careful if you have kids or pets. crocosmia ‘lucifer’ Put this striking plant in full sun and its arching stems of red flowers will bloom starting in midsummer for weeks at a time. Expect it to live through the winter in all but the most northern climates—and it may survive even there if you top it with a thick cover of leaves. hardy hibiscus This shrub has saucer-size blooms that look as pretty as Hawaii’s state flower, and it will last through the winter in almost every state. Plant it somewhere sunny and once…

I’m in love with Malene Barnett’s kitchen from the March issue (“A Kitchen Full of Memories”). It felt like home to me. Her style is exactly the look I want to convey in every room. —Tanya Malcolm, Fernie, British Columbia The first story I turn to is always “Copy the Curb appeal.” In every issue, the homes and front yards you feature are warm, welcoming, and full of clever ideas. even though I’ve lived in my house for 25 years, I’m still always on the hunt for new ways to pretty up the exterior. —Alice Lee, Helena, MT The color palette you used on your April cover [above] gave me an idea for how to perk up my patio furniture.

pink peony BY BENJAMIN MOORE “This color reminds me of melt-in-your-mouth pink meringues. It adds some sweetness to the utilitarian subway tiles and vanity, making them age-appropriate for two young sisters.” —maggie Cruz, maggie Cruz interior Design, miami, FL buoyant blue BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “I used this beachy shade on every wall of this teeny cottage, including in the laundry area.

Detroit, Michigan about the house BUILT IN: 1947 BOUGHT IN: 1999 SIZE: 3,750 sq. ft. “This was the old, ugly house on the block when we bought it. The brick was painted bright orange! We did a total reno and changed the colors to match a cute home we spotted while visiting Mackinac Island up north.” —Karen and Kevin O’Keefe, homeowners light fixture For this stately home, a puny porch light wouldn’t suffice. So the O’Keefes chose a large, beveled-glass, lantern-style pendant to hang above their front door. driveway The U-shaped driveway helps showcase how far back the house is set from the street, and it offers plenty of room for parking. doorknob An ornate knob and backplate in a gleaming brass finish emphasize the historic feel of the 1940s…

He’s the contractor, she’s the designer, and together they’ve rehabbed 53 Texas homes. After purchasing their 1,200-square-foot bungalow in 2013, they embarked on a gut reno, nearly doubling the home’s size with a second-story addition. 1 SALVAGED FLOORS MEAN MEGA CHARM The couple replaced the worn-out oak floors with 100-year-old heart pine boards, buffed with wax only. The look is similar to what the 1927 Austin home would have originally had when it was built. 2 TAKE A RISK IN A HALLWAY Katie crafted the paneled wall using leftover pine flooring nailed in place.

Jonathan Scott Brother vs. Brother AGE: 37 HOMETOWN: Vancouver, British Columbia RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single First tool you’d save in a fire: After saving my dogs, Gracie and Stewie, I’d grab my Stiletto titanium hammer. It’s tough and heavy, and it’s been with me on many jobs. ✱Home fix anyone can do: Caulking around a tub. All you need is silicone caulk and a caulk gun. Home fix no one should try: Anything structural, like removing a wall. You have to be absolutely sure you’re not undermining the strength of the building. Hardwood or engineered wood?

…to feed your dog table scraps? Those leftovers can make Fido sick as a dog—or worse. People food is often too greasy, caloric, or spicy for your pup’s gastrointestinal system, leading to digestive distress or weight gain, says Louise Murray, D.V.M., vice president of the ASPCA Animal Hospital in New York, NY. Certain people foods can even prove fatal to canines—like grapes, which can cause kidney failure. If you want to slip your pooch tidbits, Murray suggests bland, unseasoned food only, like baked chicken or cooked veggies. really bad! …to clean your grill with household cleaner?

Don’t forget to drain me. Water can stay trapped in a hose, especially if you’re using a nozzle attachment. When that water expands in the heat, it can weaken or burst the hose. Before storing, turn the spigot off and give one last spray to get all the H 2 O out. I hate sunbathing. Store hoses in a shady place. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause those made of PVC to become brittle or crack. Some rubber hoses can soften in the sun, leaving behind residue on your hands or the sidewalk. I work better with a buddy. To help your hose spray water more effectively, connect it to an adjustable nozzle or a water wand. These gizmos let you control the flow, whether you need a high-pressured…

Plenty of homeowners claim to spend most of their time in the kitchen. But few clock as many hours in their cook space as Amy Lipton. Trained as a chef, Amy now runs a cooking school, Joyful Kitchen, out of the Wellesley, MA, home she shares with her husband, Joe, and kids, Gabriel and Julia. That wasn’t always the plan. Sure, when the Liptons bought the house in 2012, Amy loved its existing pro-grade appliances, bubble glass–front cabinets, and generous island. But the kitchen looked far too formal to host cooking classes. “It had dark gold walls that just weren’t very inviting,” says Amy. With help from local designer Katie Rosenfeld, Amy updated the furniture and introduced a zippy color scheme of off-white, blue, and orange. “I couldn’t have picked…
