Your June issue was fantastic—especially the double covers. I love how you repainted everything on the second version. The paint shades in "Spill Your Paint Color" and the tips in "Can This Thing Be Painted?" were all great too. Thanks for another super issue. —Regan Lee, Florence, SC I was overjoyed to see "You Can Never Have Too Many Bowls" in the June issue. My opinion exactly! I've lived in Berlin for more than 20 years and my favorite pastime is looking for treasures, mainly bowls, at secondhand shops. Thanks for the ideas. —Tammie Matlack, Berlin, Germany "Non-Tools in My Toolbox" from your June issue mentioned using baby oil to remove latex paint from your skin. What a great tip! It required no excess scrubbing—the color came off in seconds—and…

…to sneak food into a movie theater? A: Considering a large popcorn can cost as much as $10, we don't blame you for passing by the concession stand. In general, it's OK to smuggle your own goodies into the movies—as long as you don't do it every time and you don't make a mess. Theaters make most of their profit off snacks, not tickets, so their business relies on your buying something to eat. "If you bring in a snack, try to be respectful of the theater at the same time," says Bruce Weinstein, Ph.D., author of Ethical Intelligence. "That means skipping the smelly food (which could annoy your neighbors), cleaning up after yourself, and buying a concession every so often, even if it's just a small soda." BOTTOM LINE:…

Q I'd love to replace the knob on my bedroom door. How do I do it? CHIP SAYS: GIVE IT A GO. Use a long screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the doorknob in place—they'll be tucked below the knob on one side of the door. Then pull apart the entire doorknob assembly. Unscrew the strike plate on the side of the door and slide out the latch (the metal bar that goes into the strike plate when the door is locked). Your new doorknob should come in a kit with all these pieces. Slide in the new latch first, then align both knobs on either side of the door and screw them in. If your new knob doesn't match up with the old screw holes, patch them, then…

Alison Victoria in the dream kitchen she created in her Chicago home As the host of DIY Network's Kitchen Crashers, Alison Victoria has seen her share of horrendous cooking spaces. But nothing quite compared with the one she found in the Chicago, IL, home she bought two years ago with her husband, Luke Harding, who owns an insurance agency. "Picture a mishmash of melamine cabinets, dated tile, and scratched-up butcher block," says Alison. "It had zero personality." With a list of must-haves etched clearly in her mind—"I knew I wanted lots of storage, marble everywhere, and hints of gold"—Alison got to work overhauling her own kitchen just as she's done for countless lucky homeowners on her show. Although she doesn't cook much, Alison loves having people over, so she wanted…

cabinets: glass OR solid front? JONATHAN WEIGHS IN "Unless you're an organizational neat freak, glass fronts are stressful. Everything's on display, so nothing can be messy. My motto: There's no shame in hiding kitchen clutter—or a secret stash of chocolate—behind closed cabinet doors." —Jonathan Scott, Property Brothers* flooring: wood OR tile? ALISON WEIGHS IN "Wood floors, whether they're engineered or hardwood, add amazing warmth and character to a kitchen, but homeowners often worry: Will they get warped or water-damaged? Not if you have them pretreated with sealant. It makes moisture a nonissue—liquids just bead up and wipe off." —Alison Victoria, DIY Network's Kitchen Crashers sink: drop-in OR apron-front? CHIP WEIGHS IN "Although they're usually pricier than drop-ins, I love the practicality of apron-front sinks. They jut out farther than the…

Touch up paint on trim To get a jump start on prepping my house for holiday guests, I like to touch up baseboards, door frames, and chair rails this month. I keep a list of all my colors on my computer so I know which one goes where. Pick a semigloss finish and use a 1½-inch angled brush. Change out bedding Switching out linens takes minutes, but because the bed is a bedroom's biggest piece of real estate, it feels like a major makeover. In the fall I transition from a summer coverlet to a medium-weight duvet with a gray duvet cover. Then I mix and match shams, sheets, and pillows in darker colors like orange, red, and plum. Stock up on outdoor furniture and accessories September is the sweet…

Colorado Gray BY BENJAMIN MOORE "We loved the cozy fireplace in the corner of our kitchen—but not the dark paneling and lack of natural light. To try to brighten it up, we first did greenish yellow on the walls. Big mistake! The room looked jaundiced. Then we hit on this blue. It's airy and calming, and it makes the mantel pop." —Sherry Petersik, blogger, Young House Love, Richmond, VA Tango BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS "In my 15 years of building homes, this was the first time a client chose orange. She's an artist, and she loves color and wanted a full-of-energy mudroom. It turned out so well, I'm now a convert—I'd love to use it again in a hallway." —Bret Franks, Bret Franks Construction Inc., Little Rock, AR Spicy Banana Pepper BY…

Emily Yeates isn't color-phobic. But in 2012, to make the bungalow her family had just purchased in Phoenix, AZ, seem larger than its 968 square feet, the interior designer pared down her palette. Doing only neutrals with red accents "gives the rooms a cohesive look, so they feel bigger," she says. Another bonus? Low-key hues let the rustic-industrial pieces she makes—marquee letter signs, barn door shutters—shine. While a two-bedroom house can be a challenge for a growing family, Emily insists the pros outweigh the cons: "There's only one bathroom to clean!" Exterior To refresh the 1945 house, Emily painted the front door Raw Cinnabar by Behr, then added instant character with barn-style X-trim and a cast-iron Welcome sign. Also boosting the charm: all-weather curtains from amazon.com and string lights from…

I'm going to try to calculate how many kitchen photo shoots I've worked on as a magazine editor. I'd say 30 to 35 a year times a dozen years, plus the five in this issue (including the cover), carry the one, and—wow!—I'm already up to at least 365 kitchens. That's a lot of countertops, cabinets, and canisters. And I look forward to many more. I often see people getting more creative in the kitchen than in any other space—from switching out drawer pulls to finding a new cookie jar. (Heads up—there's an adorable striped one on page 119.) Over the years, I've fine-tuned a strategy for quickly sizing up a kitchen's style in order to get great photos and pinpoint the best ideas. First take in the main elements: the…

THE HABIT: yanking the cord to unplug the vacuum WHY IT'S BAD: Repeatedly tugging the vacuum cord instead of bending down and pulling the plug out of the socket could cause a whole host of damage. The cord could split open, a wire inside could break, the plug could bend out of whack, or you could even crack the outlet itself—all of which could lead to pricey repairs. THE HABIT: ALWAYS WASHING CLOTHES IN HOT WATER WHY IT'S BAD: Only whites, on occasion, and your dirtiest loads, like oil-splattered clothes, require a high-temp setting. For all others, including bloodstained items, cold water will do the trick. And because most of the electricity your washer uses goes toward heating the water, you can save up to 50 cents a load if…

Pendant VS. Chandelier A pendant hangs from a single cord, usually with just one lightbulb at the end inside a shade. A chandelier also hangs from one cord, but it has multiple arms with lights at the ends for a more traditional look. Boston ivy VS. English ivy Boston ivy is a climbing plant that uses suckers to attach to surfaces. Its wider leaves are a uniform green but turn red and purple before dropping off in fall. English ivy attaches to surfaces using its aboveground roots. Many types of this evergreen vine have leaves with veins, or white edges. No. 2 pencils VS. Other pencils No. 2 pencils are made with graphite that has a specific midrange hardness and leaves dark marks without smudging. Other pencils are made with…

Want to prevent weeds, give flower beds a neater look, and water your yard less? One word: mulch. Made of any number of materials, including wood chips, compost, leaves, and straw, mulch helps soil hold on to moisture and regulate its temperature so roots stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Spread a 3-inch-thick layer on top of soil in the spring or fall (or both), and replenish as needed. To figure out how much mulch you should get, visit landscapecalculator.com. Then find the mulch that's right for your yard and let the layering begin! straw Sold by the bale, straw is inexpensive and easy to spread. Because it has a messier look, it's typically used in vegetable gardens, where it can be raked up or turned…
