your favorite cape cod SEATTLE, WA | 2,900 SQUARE FEET | BUILT IN 1930 It doesn’t get much more quaint than this classic Cape, with its trio of second-floor dormers and sharply pitched roof covered in cedar shakes. The house was originally built without a portico—it was put on to make entrances and exits more pleasant in the wet Seattle weather. A new white picket fence was added two years ago to replace an original one that had rotted. reader comment “I just love how traditional this house looks with its red door, black shutters, and white paint. The dormers are such a sweet detail.“ —Katie Williams, Kearney, MO your favorite victorian DETROIT, MI | 2,900 SQUARE FEET | BUILT IN 1885 With a stone foundation, wraparound porch, and handsome…

on a mini budget e ven though she’d spent years working as an architect and a designer, Tori Thames had never taken on a project in her own home. “I was always in big cities and stuck in apartments,” she says. “It was hard to be a renter all the time and never get to customize my space.” So when Tori took a new gig in Seattle, WA, and found a charming but inneed- of-work 1921 Craftsman bungalow, she jumped at the chance to buy. High ceilings, custom molding, and tons of natural light were all selling points—but much of the house, including the kitchen, needed an overhaul. To keep the kitchen from swallowing up her entire reno budget, Tori got creative, swapping in thrifty materials for their spendy counterparts and…

It may sound strange, but the first thing you should do when you want to boost your home’s curb appeal is go for a walk. Trek around your neighborhood, or any neighborhood that makes your heart flutter, and you’ll find inspiration! On my spy strolls, I’ve found plenty of good ideas to borrow, like when I grew begonias in my sunniest flower bed after I saw them thriving in a similarly sunny bed three houses down from mine. I’ve figured out which brick walkway pattern I like best as well as my favorite house numbers, front door colors, porch lights, and porch swings. I’m barely a beginner at gardening, but 90% of what I know, I know because I’ve asked friendly neighbors—and some friendly strangers—what they’re growing. (Thank you, Caroline…

…to not clean your grill before using it? Skip the scrub and you could be setting yourself up for a disappointing dinner. “A clean grill will reach hotter temperatures and produce better-tasting food,” says Kevin Kolman, Weber’s appointed “grill master.” If you’re lazy with your grates, you’ll likely mix flavors (think fishy-tasting steak—yuck!), and you may have to buy replacement parts sooner than usual if caked-on food becomes impossible to remove. So, says Kolman, every time you fire up the grill, let it preheat for 10 to 15 minutes, which will turn any residue from the previous grill session to ash. Then use a grill brush to scrape the hot grates clean before you throw the next meal on. Once a year, do a more thorough cleaning: When the grill…

Your April issue was a really fun read. One of my favorite parts was seeing Jen and Stephen Pan’s bright and airy home [“The Perfect Dose of Color & Pattern”], especially their minty green mudroom. It’s a super-practical, pretty storage spot. I wish a mudroom like theirs came with every house. —Diane Uli, Menifee, CA I love HGTV Magazine and always read it as soon as it arrives. I had a major “oops” moment when I got to the part about jogging without an ID in April’s “How Bad Is It.…” I’ve since added a label to the back of my phone with emergency contacts so I’m covered when I go for long walks with my dogs. Thank you for the important safety tip! —Kate Shadock, Albuquerque, NM Every month…

tropical rose BY BENJAMIN MOORE “I had a pro spray on several coats of this tried-and-true pink to get the super-glossy look I wanted. The color itself is pretty amazing, and in such a shiny finish, it’s even more powerful.” —Caitlin Murray, Black Lacquer Design, Los Angeles, CA fuzzy navel BY PPG PAINTS “Natural light is lacking in this master bedroom, so putting a fierce yellow on the walls has helped magnify the sunlight that it does get.
