kitchen “People are always asking me, ‘Is that wallpaper?’ ” Jen says of the to-theceiling hexagonal Mosaic House cement tiles. “When we put them in, part of me was like, Am I going to get sick of this? But I still love it.” With such a busy pattern, she kept everything else simple: HanStone quartz countertops in Bianco Canvas, Shaker-style cabinets painted grayish white (Mirage Gray by Pratt & Lambert), and modern brass pulls and knobs. The original blond oak floors were still in great condition, so the Pans just had them restained a few shades darker. you might say Jen Pan is a believer in the old cliché “Everything happens for a reason.” When she and her husband, Stephen, were moving from Los Angeles to Austin, TX, six years…

This time of year—every year—I’m ready for new. I’m sick and tired of my winter wardrobe, and I fantasize about kicking all my furniture to the curb and starting from scratch. But eventually I get my head out of the clouds and think realistically. How can I have more new in my life—and around my house—without going back to square one? Paint is always a good idea. And this month we’re introducing a new column, Paint Academy, which takes you through a painting project step-by-step, starting with one of our favorites: painting your front door a new color. We’re also showcasing no-reno-required ways to make over your bathroom on your own, because (brace yourself) 50% of bath remodels done by pros cost $20,000 or more. We’re much more interested in…

eader poll esults! Do you separate whites and colors? 82% Yes 18% No THE EXPERT SAYS Congratulations! Most of you are following the most basic rule of modern laundry. Mixing whites and colors can result in dark dyes bleeding onto whites, turning them dull gray or pink. “It can take just one wash or happen over time, especially if you use warm or hot water,” says Mary Gagliardi, Clorox’s “Dr. Laundry.” If you’re unsure how to wash a mixed-color garment, such as a white shirt with dark stripes, test it by dipping a corner of the hem that includes the color into warm water with detergent. If the color bleeds, wash the item in cold water by itself until no more color comes off, then add it to your colors rotation.…

simply green BY VALSPAR “I bought this dark wood cabinet at a thrift store. It seemed so sad the way it was.

a fter more than two decades of renting summer homes up and down the Eastern seaboard, Katie and Jeff Alitz were itching for a coastal escape of their own—one that could accommodate lobster boils, pizza night, and big holiday gatherings. So when they found a lot on Cape Cod with a water view, they jumped at the chance to build a vacation home for their family of four. The couple was especially keen on having a made-to-order kitchen that checked off all their design wants: ample counter space, a separate pantry, and a color palette reminiscent of the nearby beach. “We’re lucky enough that we can see the ocean from our house, and we used that as inspiration for the kitchen’s colors,” says Katie. With the help of Fletcher Cameron…

Buy Right Once you’ve picked out the color, how do you know how much paint to buy? The best way to buy the right amount is to measure the width and height of the walls, then ask your paint retailer for advice. Be sure to tell them about the current color, wall texture and condition, and whether the walls have been primed or previously painted. They’ll help you figure out how much paint you need. Pass It On Have good paint leftover but have no use for it? Pass it on to someone who can use it! You never know who may want it. Odds are a friend or family member needs paint for a project they want to tackle. You could even donate your leftover paint to a community…

1 Remove the house numbers, mail slot, and knocker from the door. You can leave the handleset on. 2 Open the door and clean it with phosphatefree TSP following the package instructions. 3 Sand the front and the side edge that has hinges, then wipe clean with a tack cloth. 4 Tape off the handleset, weather stripping, and hinges with painter’s tape. 5 With the door still open, prime the front and the side edge that has hinges using latex primer for outdoor use.

…to let your cat play with a ball of yarn? Kitty batting at a ball of yarn seems like a classic and harmless activity. But it’s actually highly dangerous and potentially fatal, warns Vicki Stevens, a senior marketing communications manager at The Humane Society of the United States. “If the cat swallows a piece of yarn, she can keep swallowing more, and it can bunch up in the intestines,” Stevens says. And if that happens, you can’t just yank it out. Pulling the string out of, ahem, either end can perforate the cat’s intestine. A veterinarian would most likely recommend taking a cat who had ingested string to an emergency clinic. So skip yarn, ribbon, and string in favor of Humane Society suggestions like Ping-Pong balls and plastic shower rings,…

about the house BUILT IN: 1940 BOUGHT IN: 2011 SIZE: 5,000 sq. ft. “One of the first things we noticed about our Colonial was all the greenery on the roof.
