spirit in the sky BY BENJAMIN MOORE “My home is from 1907, so I wanted to keep some vintage flair when we renovated. While driving around one day, I spotted an antique truck painted this pretty blue green and hunted until I found the exact right match!” —Anna Forkum, Anna Forkum Interior Design, Nashville, TN drop dead gorgeous BY BENJAMIN MOORE “After choosing a cool but sophisticated red-and-cream wallpaper for this tween girl’s bedroom, I knew I wanted to do something bold on the built-ins, but her parents were a little nervous about such a strong color. In the end, though, they were more scared of the woodwork looking bland! A berry red makes the cubbies pop without seeming childish.” —Jodi Morton, 2to5 Design, Evanston, IL pink frenzy BY VALSPAR…

key piece colorful console An eye-catching hue right by the front door sends a message that the rest of the house is fab and fun. “I picked a vivid orange console in a simple shape for this young family’s house in Malibu so that the color is the star of the entry,” says Santa Monica, CA, designer Tracy Gilmore. “Art with a similar shade pulls a small space together.” shop it! key piece textured poufs Tucked under a console, a pair of poufs will sit there looking pretty—until you need a place to plop a bag or a coat. Says Atlanta blogger Mandy Kellogg Rye of Waiting on Martha: “Mine have muted colors, so they don’t compete with the art, but the details make them not boring.” shop it! key…

during the reno buying and renovating a 97-year-old home while planning a wedding could put a relationship to the test—unless the groom-to-be has 400 home redos under his belt and a general contractor for a twin brother. For Drew Scott and fiancee Linda Phan, the trickiest part of putting down roots in L.A., a city both have always loved, was finding a house with tons of original character. “We ruled out any that had been updated,” says Drew. They instantly knew this English Cotswold–style house was “the one”—oh, that mahogany front door! That Art Deco fireplace! And they saw only potential in the outdated elements, including a minuscule kitchen, old-time wallpaper, and “shag carpet no one even wanted to touch,” says Drew. The three got to work knocking down walls,…

I was a nervous wreck over this cover shoot—not because we traveled to unfamiliar Canada for it, or because the sofa almost didn’t get delivered to the set, or even because it’s the first time we’ve put not one but two HGTV stars front and center on our cover. No, I was sweating bullets because I wasn’t sure if Drew would jump. Why did I want him to spring into the air and hurl himself over a sofa for a few shots? If you know anything about Drew and Jonathan Scott, you know these home renovation superheroes have several HGTV shows and many talents—Property Brothers, Brother Vs. Brother, magician skills (Jonathan), and a crazy-high vertical leap (Drew), to name a few. I thought Drew vaulting over a sofa that his…

Moving your family cross-country is challenging enough. Brooke Christen also had to figure out how to squeeze everyone and everything into a 1950s cottage in Fairfield, CT, that barely topped 1,000 square feet—less than half the size of their South Jordan, UT, house. “Money doesn’t go as far in Connecticut as it does in Utah, and we wanted to be able to live in a walkable town close to the beach,” says Brooke. “It was hard to part with some pieces. Then it got exciting because I could get new things!” Happily, the house needed only a few choice updates, like wood flooring upstairs and a kitchen refresher. Brooke, who managed an interior design store in Utah, put her experience to good use, figuring out what to ditch (so long,…

1 Measure everything! Pendant lengths, how far the dishwasher door extends when open, you name it. That bit of effort saves lots of time. The first set of barstools the Petersiks ordered were counter-height…except for the armrests that didn’t fit under the island’s top. Oops! These new weathered wood ones are from World Market. 2 Use painter’s tape to figure out pulls. When the couple couldn’t decide what size pulls to put on the lower cabinets, they reached for painter’s tape to visualize different lengths. (The winner: 7 ¾-inch polished-nickel pulls by Atlas.) They bought knobs in the same finish for the uppers. 3 Choose a backsplash you’ll like for a long time. At first the Petersiks considered a glossy veined marble tile to match the island’s veined quartz countertop.…

NOT BAD AT ALL! NOT SO BAD! KINDA BAD! PRETTY BAD! REALLY BAD! SUPER BAD! how bad is it to put ice cubes in a blender? Regularly using a standard blender for smoothies or icy cocktails could ultimately do it in. Although upscale ones like Vitamix and Blendtec are made of hardy material that can handle cubes, most basic models aren’t. “Technically, less expensive blenders can crush ice, but it will dull the blades, scratch the jar, and wear out the motor,” says Brian Wills, cofounder of the indie review site blenderexpert.com. Check the manual to see if your blender is meant to pulverize ice. Note, too, that for the finesnow blend required for smoothies, you’ll ideally want a motor with a minimum of 2.0 horsepower. Consider upgrading if you…
