SPIKED PEAR-VANILLA LEMONADE For each drink, shake 1½ ounces vanilla vodka with the juice of ½ lemon in a shaker with ice; strain into a glass. Top with sparkling pear drink and garnish with a thin lemon slice. Kate Doherty Market Director, HGTV Magazine “My friends always mix up their glasses, so I write their names on black gift tags with a paint pen and attach them to the glasses with gold twist ties. Another easy DIY: painted votive candleholders. Just tape off the top half of a votive holder with electrical tape, then paint the bottom half with black crafts paint or liquid gilding. Remove the tape when the paint is still a little wet. Let dry.” Robb Riedel Managing Editor, Food Network Magazine “I often order complicated cocktails at restaurants,…

A VINTAGE FARMHOUSE BUILT IN: 1919 SIZE: 2,200 sq. ft. HOMEOWNERS: Katrina and Scott Morris “With all the ideas we got from watching Chip and Jo, our reno felt like we were living a Fixer Upper episode!” For most people, watching Fixer Upper is a sit-back-onthe- couch activity. But for the better part of 2016, Katrina and Scott Morris scribbled away on notepads as they studied the show. The couple had recently bought a three-bedroom Gladys, VA, farmhouse that once belonged to their friend’s parents, with major sentimental value: Katrina and Scott met there as teens. But it wasn’t in great shape, with wood eaten by termites and no heating or cooling. Although Katrina had an interior design business and Scott owned a commercial construction company, neither had experience with…

new builds get a bad rap for being blah: They’re pretty, sure, but sorely lacking in spunk. That’s exactly what Kerry and Cullen Roberts had to contend with in the kitchen of the five-bedroom Nashville, TN, Colonial they bought to more comfortably fit their family of five. “We were sold on the open layout, and how bright the kitchen felt in all white—but we love color and pattern, and it wasn’t us,” says Kerry. The couple called in designer Gen Sohr, who didn’t see the plain—just the promise: “An all-white kitchen was the ideal blank canvas for layering in the happy hues they love,” she says. Gen started with the bright, citrusy fabric for the windows’ Roman shades, which set the palette for the rest of the accessories. When all…

balsam BY BENJAMIN MOORE “This guest bedroom is on the small side, so I gave it a vibrant accent wall for more presence. Lush, leafy green feels surprising but still warm and inviting.” —Lindye Galloway, Lindye Galloway Interiors, Costa Mesa, CA fragrant lilac BY VALSPAR “Once I chose a funky fabric for the Roman shades in this family’s living room, I knew I’d pull the wall paint from its color scheme. I went with a soft lavender that has a calming effect— probably a good thing when you have three young rambunctious boys!” —Rebecca Tier Soskin, Rebecca Tier Soskin Interior Design, New York, NY sunlit topaz BY GLIDDEN “This family’s apartment has a sizable entry, which is a real luxury in New York City. So I wanted a color that…

NOT BAD AT ALL! NOT SO BAD! KINDA BAD! PRETTY BAD! REALLY BAD! SUPER BAD! how bad is it to let your pet bird fly around the house? Open the cage door! Your parakeet might not get frequent flier miles, but at least she’ll be healthy: “Birds are like any other pet or animal— they need exercise, and should get at least 10 minutes a day,” says veterinarian Katherine Quesenberry, head of the avian and exotics services at Animal Medical Center in New York City. Just birdproof the area: Shut windows and doors leading outside, close blinds on patio doors so Polly doesn’t crash into the glass, turn off ceiling fans, and remove anything hot from the stove. While birds are flock animals who will typically hover near you, they…

AN UPDATED CRAFTSMAN BUILT IN: 1921 SIZE: 2,000 sq. ft. HOMEOWNER: Tahj Mowry “The great thing about my home is all the character and details. Sometimes I’ll see something and think, I don’t look at this enough!” When actor Tahj Mowry was ready to move up from renting a loft in Los Angeles to buying a three-bedroom house, his design taste grew up too. “The furniture in my old place was mostly colorful pieces that didn’t match,” says Tahj. “Once I became a homeowner, I wanted a more sophisticated look.” His charming 1920s hillside Craftsman had been renovated by the previous owner, and its white shiplap walls and ceilings, exposed beams, and oak floors gave it classic Fixer Upper appeal. Tahj also appreciated the open floor plan, which reminded him…

A MODERN NEW BUILD BUILT IN: 2015 SIZE: 2,900 sq. ft. HOMEOWNER: Nikki Nickerson “Sometimes newer coastal homes have a cookie-cutter look. I wanted mine to be full of personality and little quirks, inside and out!” Many houses in the town where Nikki Nickerson resides on Florida’s Emerald Coast are built to be vacation rentals— think smallish bedrooms, basic kitchens, and neutral beige color schemes—not for full-time living and entertaining. After calling Santa Rosa Beach home for 16 years and seeing countless properties as a real estate agent, Nikki was ready to build a place tailored to her needs. That meant stylish yet functional, with ample room for cooking and hanging at home with friends (she’s also a restaurant owner). She teamed up with architect Andrea Plunk and designer Paige…
