Not all fabrics like us. Dryer sheets can prevent workout clothes from wicking away moisture. They can also cancel out the fame retardant on kids’ PJ’s. Read care labels to know which garments are dryer sheet– friendly. Oops, sorry about that stain. If you find an oily-looking mark on clothing after laundering it, your dryer sheet could be to blame. Sometimes a sheet will leave excess coating in a spot—possibly caused by an overloaded dryer or too-high heat. Rub a wet bar of soap on the stain, then rewash the item. Here’s why people love us. Three reasons: We soften fabric, reduce static cling, and sometimes add a fresh scent. Wondering how we work? Most dryer sheets are made from nonwoven polyester and coated in surfactants. The heat from the…

meridian blue By Benjamin more “A blue this vivid—it’s like turquoise on acid—instantly perks up bedroom walls. It’s surprisingly flexible for such a bright color. There’s actually a hint of green in it, so it works equally as well with browns and pinks as it does with corals and oranges.” —Andrew Howard, Andrew Howard interior Design, Jacksonville, FL gold buttercup BY BEHR “All-white kitchens are forever chic, though they can sometimes feel stark. A rich, buttery hue everywhere—on the cabinets, shelves, and bead board—creates the same streamlined look as white but with a lot more coziness.” —Andrew Polanski, Cushman Design Group, Stowe, VT dark salmon BY BENJAMIN MOORE “When my daughter hit age 11—boom!—out went baby pink, and in came this big-kid coral. White and navy accents tone down the…

1 make a key chain 1. Cut a 20-inch-by-4-inch rectangle out of a piece of faux leather. Fringe the first 15 inches; each fringe should be about 3 inches long and ⅛ inch wide. Cut the remaining material to create a ¾-inch-wide tail (Fig. A). 2. Spray mount together two small pieces of faux leather, good sides facing out. Trim into a 3-inch-by-¼-inch strip. 3. Place a key ring at the middle of the strip, then fold the strip in half. Hot-glue the ends together to form a loop. Flip the fringed piece of material wrong side up. Hot-glue the loop to the top right corner of the fringed piece (Fig. B). 4. Starting on the right, tightly roll the material, dabbing with hot glue to secure it as you…

When it came time for Fallon and Christopher Liles to find a new home for their family, they knew just where they wanted to go: Christopher’s grandparents’ place. With its big yard and location in Phoenix’s lush Arcadia neighborhood, the 1950s ranch house felt perfect. “My dad grew up here and my family celebrated holidays here, so we felt a familiarity with the house,” explains Christopher. But the place wasn’t exactly move-in ready. After Christopher’s grandparents passed away, the home sat vacant for two years, its rooms buried under old belongings. When Christopher and Fallon bought the house in 2012 (it was being held in a family trust), they had their work cut out for them. Luckily the Lileses co-own a building and remodeling company, Rafterhouse, so the overhaul wasn’t…

kim Cornelison and her husband, Alfie Ferreyra, endured 15 months of dust, disorder, and displacement so the teeny 10-foot-by-12 1/2 -foot kitchen of their 1901 cottage in Linden Hills, MN, could get bigger––by exactly 3 feet. But with those extra 36 inches, they transformed a dark, awkward cook space with a single small window into an efficient kitchen bursting with personality. “We didn’t want a mammoth kitchen because that wouldn’t have worked with the scale of our 1,500-squarefoot house,” says Kim, a photographer. “All we needed was more light and a new layout.” Working with architect Colby Mattson, the couple replaced the rear wall with a cantilevered bumpout addition that includes Home Depot cabinets with Calacatta gold marble countertops, a Miele dishwasher, a farmhouse sink, and a trio of sash…

“This clear plastic caddy looks like a bunch of small bud vases grouped together.”—Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper “Can you believe this is a tissue-box cover? I love the pattern, and square ‘vases’ are chic. A water glass inside holds the stems.”—Christina El Moussa, Flip or Flop “The hammered copper of a teakettle creates amazing contrast with formal looking white roses.”—Sabrina Soto, HGTV designer “Soup tureens that have lost their lids over the years deserve a second chance. I use mine to show off low, lush arrangements.”—Hilary Farr, Love It or List It* “An ice bucket is great for holding big blooms like hydrangeas. One that’s shatter- and waterproof vinyl is perfect for outdoor parties.”—Meg Caswell, HGTV designer *LOVE IT OR LIST IT CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON THE W NETWORK…

Since we started the magazine in 2011, we have made over scores of rooms—living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, kids’ rooms—and each one has had a great story to go along with it. But perhaps none was more memorable than working with the folks at The Bowery Mission, a charitable organization that helps the homeless in New York City. A few months back, they were deep into a major renovation at one of their women’s facilities in Harlem but didn’t know what to do with the empty patio space. They asked: Could HGTV Magazine turn it into something great? Yes, we could. We went all out with a cool blue-and-white color scheme and divided the T-shaped space into two areas, a dining area and a living area, both with furnishings…

...to spray-paint something directly on grass? Protect your lawn the same way you would your carpets or hardwood floors. if paint coats grass blades, it can block the plant from absorbing the sunlight it needs to produce valuable, life-sustaining nutrients, says ben Hamza, Ph.d., director of technical operations at TruGreen, a national lawn-care company. it can also prevent grass from being able to cool itself down, which can turn it brown or even kill an entire patch. So spray it safe: Put down a drop cloth, an old sheet, or a piece of cardboard first. really bad! …to flush prescription medication down the toilet? Getting rid of pharmaceuticals via the toilet may seem like a simple solution, but most meds shouldn’t go down the drain. “Flushed drugs can seep into…

“This washable nylon carryall can tote up to 50 pounds –– and squishes down into a 5-inchsquare carrying pouch. I always have one stashed in my purse.” —Christina El Moussa, Flip or Flop “Stylish enough for a side table, this Bluetooth-ready AM/FM radio delivers my daily NPR fix and syncs with my iPhone, so I can play any song in my library.” —Jaimie Dalessio Clayton, senior associate editor “I finally upgraded to these slim, colorful hangers—goodbye, flimsy plastic ones! The velvety no-slip covering really works.” —Ridge Carpenter, art director “Coffee tastes 10 times better out of this stainless steel French press –– and I swear it stays fresher and hotter for longer, too.” —Alison Victoria, Kitchen Crashers “Everyday mail feels special thanks to this return address stamp. plus, it saves…

1 Montanans may be the country’s happiest citizens. in a 2013 gallup poll, 77% of residents rated it the best or one of the best places to live—more than any other state except alaska (the two states were tied).2 on average, there are about 7 people, 3 deer, and 1 elk per square mile in Montana.3 Fort Peck reservoir, the state’s largest body of water, has more shoreline than the California coast.4 More than 28,500 farms and ranches (both private and for guests) operate in Montana, including cleverly named properties such as good Medicine ranch and Hole in the wall ranch.5 In addition to being known as big sky Country, Montana has also been called the Stubbed Toe State. Legend has it many a hiker has hurt a foot on…

DINING SPACE Although he didn’t want a formal dining room, Anthony did need a designated spot for nice dinners. A Restoration Hardware farm table teamed with Timothy Oulton seats fit the bill. A layered pair of overdyed rugs from Wayfair define the space. “Most people put color on their walls, but here I wanted the energy to come from the ground,” he says. As soon as Cousins Undercover star Anthony Carrino saw the brick building in Jersey City, NJ, he knew he had to have it. Constructed in 1892 as a telephone switching station, it “was a huge blank canvas,” says Anthony, who owns Brunelleschi Construction with his dad and his cousin, fellow HGTV star John Colaneri. Enamored of the structure’s arched windows and historic location, Anthony wrote the city…

stuck on... geraniums? break out with... verbenas Yes, geraniums seem to erupt with flowers all summer, but because they’re so ubiquitous, they can get a little dull. Verbenas give you the same bloom boom and come in an even wider variety of hues, including shades of purple and near blue. Similar to geraniums, verbenas can be both annuals and perennials and handle hot, dry weather even during the roughest days of summer. There’s a bonus: They attract butterflies and hummingbirds! stuck on... impatiens? break out with... torenias If you have a shady patch, you’ve probably reached for impatiens. But torenias’ bold, upturned, trumpet-shaped flowers deal with limited sun just as well and keep blooming from spring through fall. Plant them in hanging baskets and they’ll cascade over the edges. Or…

letters We were just starting a remodel when I received the June issue, which featured a reddish orange built-in hutch (“spill Your Paint color”). seeing it gave us the courage to paint ours a similar shade, Desert coral by Behr. it was exactly the boost our space needed. —Anna Agenjo, Bakersfeld, CA My 5-year-old daughter, Evelyn, loves your magazine. One day when my husband was out of town, our toilet started running. I told evelyn we would wait for her dad to come home and fix it. she replied: “But, Mommy, you can fix it yourself. HGTV Magazine says how.” I couldn’t help but laugh when she handed me your October issue so I could read “Fix That, save This.” Thanks for teaching us both every month. —Ai-Lin Hsieh Fung,…

1 Hunt for wallpaper. Wallpaper is back, and when I want a really special one, I look for paper that has texture, such as one crafted from wood veneers or that has glass bead embellishments. If you can splurge, go for my favorite brand, Maya Romanoff. On a budget? Try York Wall coverings. 2 Freshen up the colors on my sofa. The sofas in my house are mostly tans and grays, so I inject color with throws and pillows. Winter usually means deep reds and oranges; come spring, I break out lighter, brighter tones, such as sky blue, kelly green, and pale gold. 3 Make chocolate bunnies. Every Easter my family and I fall an antique bunny mold with our own recipe: two parts dark chocolate to one part milk…

they’re a cool blue set Spray-painted high-gloss aqua, the dated lamps are now superchic. Teamed with leather ottomans, a burl wood console, and a graphic rug, they fancy up an entry—and play off the colors of the artwork. what you’ll need 1 Use wire cutters to cut off the plug at the base of the lamp. Unscrew the socket. Remove and discard the socket and the attached cord, the harp, and any decorative parts you don’t want (we removed the eagle)—they should slide right off the lamp’s center rod. 2 Wash and dry the Pom bottle, then screw the cap back on. Drill a hole through the center of the cap —it should be the same diameter as the lamp’s rod. Drill the same size hole through the bottom of…

● Invest in the best appliances you can afford. Although most people don’t need the bells and whistles a pro chef would, features such as convection cooking capabilities make life in the kitchen easier. ● Design around a focal point. Go for a bold color with your counters or backsplash— not both. “John and I put pink counters in one house, and they looked awesome,” Anthony says. “But we kept the backsplash neutral to balance them out.” ● Try under-cabinet lights. They’re handy when you’re using your counters—plus they can add ambiance when you entertain. ● Soft-close hinges are a must. If you want to reduce wear and tear on cabinets, it’s worth springing for hinges that make doors close slowly and quietly. You can even retrofit many old cabinets…
