King vs. California king Measuring 76 inches across, a king is the widest mattress you can buy. It's the exact same length as a queen-size mattress—80 inches from the top to the bottom. At a whopping 84 inches long, a California king is the longest mattress on the market. But it offers less side-by-side room than a king—a California king is four inches narrower. Lily of the valley vs. Lily Known for its tiny, bell-shaped white flowers, lily of the valley is a sweet-smelling plant that blooms in early spring. It works well as a cut flower and ground cover. A lily has showy—and often super-fragrant—blossoms with six petals. It flowers from June through August in a variety of colors, including white, red, orange, and yellow. Baking soda vs.…

before An overstuffed sofa with an eight-pillow pileup: too much! It's extra wideto fit two—but who wants to sharea chair? A side table this gargantuan needs its own zip code. Homeowner Orange Girtz Orange and Eial Girtz with, from left, Ethan, 10, and Indigo, 8 Comfort was the top priority when Orange and Eial Girtz decorated the compact living room of their 1938 home in Port Washington, NY, seven years ago. Wanting the space to be a veg-out zone for TV watching and lounging, Orange crowded it with a supersized sofa, a mammoth chair-and-a-half, and a hulking coffee table. While the nap-ready pieces encouraged relaxing, they swallowed up the room –– and occasionally guests. "I once had to save a pregnant friend who got trapped in the sofa," admits Orange.…

Kylie and Ryan Durkin in Ryan's favorite chair, from the 1950s Dining room "You don't come across something like it very often," says Ryan of the 5-foot-diameter mirror with a thick brass frame that brightens the dining area. It hangs against grass cloth wallpaper, a fresh-looking foil to the hefty, live-edge oak dining table. The circa-1950s chairs are by mid-century-modern furniture designer Allan Gould. They just needed new seat cushions, so the Durkins had some made in hunter green leather. Kylie and Ryan Durkin take their fondness for vintage stuff seriously. Nearly everything in their 1950 Phoenix, AZ, home –– down to the dishes –– is older than the couple themselves. Their favorite pieces are mid-century modern, a style they love so much, they opened a furniture shop devoted to…

The thing I love most about paint is that as soon as you give something a fresh coat of color, it really feels like yours. It might be a piece of furniture that lived in someone else's house or something new that's never been painted. Either way, when you paint it, you make it your own. Give a room a fresh color and just like that, it has your personal stamp. That's why I have no problem painting anything and everything in my home—floors, doors, furniture, light fixtures, patio furniture: You name…

…to release helium balloons into the air? Hold on tight to that string. While it's believed some balloons shatter into tiny pieces when they reach a certain height in the atmosphere, "many others will float back to the land or water," says Darby Hoover, senior resource specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Latex balloons can take several years to biodegrade, and Mylar balloons never do. What doesn't end up in a landfill can harm animals (marine life included), who could mistake pieces of balloons for food—and die if they eat them. So pop and toss balloons at your party's end. Super bad! …to borrow or lend earbuds? Sharing earbuds sounds grosser than it is. "Yes, bacteria live on ear skin, but they're mostly harmless," says Lisa Sturm, director of…

Always leaveme high and dry. With crevices designed to retain moisture, cellulose sponges are ideal breeding grounds for germs—especially when they're put away wet in a dark undersink cabinet. To prevent bacteria buildup, wring out excess water, and pop the spongein a countertop holder with plentyof air circulation. My life spanis really limited. A sponge isn't meant to last forever. Most people eventually toss sponges when they notice mustiness or fraying, but the pros recommend discarding them every week—two weeks max—and starting fresh. I'm a hard-core clean freak. Disinfect sponges every other day: To sanitize, microwave a damp sponge on high for two minutes, run it through the dishwasher (make sure it isn't fraying or pieces can break off and clog the filter), or soak it overnight in 1 quart…

About the house BUILT IN: 1925 BOUGHT IN: 2013 SIZE: 1,147 sq. ft.

Penelope and Keith Boettiger with their kids, from left, Anna, 13, Owen, 10, and Lindsay, 14 There were no budget-busting revisions or agonized second-guessing when Penelope and Keith Boettiger remodeled the dated kitchen of their 1980s home in Austin, TX. The secret to their stress-free redo: The couple had already tackled three major kitchen makeovers in the past 12 years as they relocated for Keith's job. With know-how gained from overhauling cook spaces in Maine, Maryland, and North Carolina, the pair orchestrated a kitchen transformation with minimum fuss. Penelope shares what they learned from the family's latest –– but definitely not last –– renovation. Before 1 Undercabinet lights are nonnegotiable. Penelope always installs below-cabinet lights to illuminate counters. "The extra lights also show off the backsplash," she says. Here LEDs…

Novice Lettuce This green will happily grow just about anywhere with afternoon shade. In early spring, buy seedlings at the nursery. Plant four inches apart, and harvest often: Pick the outer leaves as soon as they reach four to five inches long. Keep soil moist, not drenched, and in a few weeks, the inner leaves will be ready, too. String beans This early summer crop comes in green, yellow, and purple. Wait until temps reach 60°F to plant. Then place the seeds six inches apart, in rows about two feet apart. Once flowers appear, check for beans daily—they're most tender when no thicker than a pencil. Bonus: They don't usually have pest problems. Peppers Both sweet bell peppers and hot chile peppers are fairly low-fuss, as long as you plant…

"Why not showcase a clock? Hang an empty frame –– no glass –– around it. Instant ka-pow!" —Tiffany Brooks, HGTV Smart Home 2015 "It'sa chic memo board when you lose the glass and add ribbons.

Hot-glue fabric and a vintage key inside, then screw in hooks along the bottom." —Taniya Nayak, HGTV designer "Turn a collection of brooches into 3-D artwork. Take out the glass and cover the backing with linen. Use hot glue to attach the pins." —Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper "Small square frames work great as coasters.

That's why I was so excited to see the one from PB Teen in your March issue ("The High/Low List"). I ordered it immediately. —Birgitt van Wijk, Houston, TX I've been collecting copies of HGTV Magazine for so long that I now have an impressive set. I find many…

1 Paint the front door a fresh color. To make sure the shade you pick doesn't clash with your siding, figure out if your home's exterior has a warm or cool undertone, and stick to the same family when you choose the color for your door. If you aren't sure which category your house falls into, an expert at the paint store can help you. 2 Shop beekman1802.com .

classic Wedding china in a plantation-style cabinet quirky Hand-painted orange squiggles on the dining room walls quirky A trellis print blown up to a huge scale Patrick and Emily McCarthy with son Rhett, 3 As you wind your way along the gently curving walkway that leads to Emily and Patrick McCarthy's 1980s ranch house in Savannah, GA, it's hard not to notice the front door. Painted a fiesta-ready orange red (Piñata by Benjamin Moore), it's an unsubtle hint that what's inside this home near the saltwater marshes isn't going to be typical. While Patrick's born-and-bred-in-Savannah style is pretty much in sync with what's popular locally –– "He's more straightlaced than I am," says Emily –– she gravitates toward bold decor and was determined to bring some va-va-voom to the 2,700-square-foot…

SCIENTIFIC NAME Every plant has a scientific name. The first part is Latin and usually italicized on the tag. It describes the genus, or group, the plant belongs to and its species. The scientific name also includes the cultivar, which is in single quote marks and classifies the plant even furtherin terms of color and leafand petal shape. MATURE HEIGHT& SPREAD This is the maximum height and width the plant is likely to reach when fully grown. SUN EXPOSURE You'll see this info written out or as an icon. When a tag indicates a plant needs full sun, it should get at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Partial sun/shade, shown here, means it needs about half that amount. If a tag says a plant needs full shade,…
