moss point green BY PPG PAINTS “After putting up green-and-white wallpaper on three of this bedroom’s walls, I decided to do something different with the wall behind the bed so the gridded paneling wouldn’t get lost. This clover color makes it pop. And it’s so fresh, like spring on a wall!” —Julie Howard, Timber Trails Development Company, Western Springs, IL calypso blue BY BENJAMIN MOORE “Since this homeowner is creative and fun-loving, I picked something equally vivacious for the walls of his home office. This shade of blue is super energized and a little offbeat—a perfect match.” —Orlando Soria, Homepolish, Los Angeles, CA forsythia BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “When this buffet was plain wood, it looked completely traditional—not at all what my client wanted for her modern home. Redoing it in a…

Moving into a new home can be overwhelming. But it’s even more so when you transition from a small rental to owning a whole house—plus you work full-time and have two toddlers. That was Jennifer and Michael Levy’s story when they bought their Chapel Hill, NC, place in 2016. They needed new paint, lighting, and furniture, but they were stuck on how to personalize their space. “My style was basically whatever cute thing I spotted at HomeGoods,” says Jennifer. “I was afraid of making mistakes, so it was easier not to do anything.” That went on for two years, until an HGTV Magazine makeover transformed their house and Jennifer’s ideas about design, too. “I’ve seen how key moves, like putting in new countertops in the kitchen but keeping the cabinets,…

KITCHEN This may be the family’s part-time home (they live in Atlanta), but Vern went all in on storage, taking the cabinets—from Omega Cabinetry, with polished chrome pulls by Emtek—up to the 12-foot ceiling. “Part of feeling like I’m on vacation is not having clutter,” he says. The Cambria quartz island is both dining table and food prep station. The blown-glass lights above it, by Donghia, are a nod to a trip to Venice, Italy. Another travel memory: the carousel animal, a Paris flea market find. Vern Yip has had a love affair with Rosemary Beach, FL, since the ’90s, when he first visited the town and fell for its walkable, bike-friendly layout. In 2014, he and husband Craig Koch built a dream home there. But just two years later,…

a sunny spot With more than 20 feet of sitting space, the bench—which has cushions covered in marigold chenille-like fabric by Norbar Fabrics—was built for more than just breakfast: It’s this Birmingham, AL, family’s anytime place to lounge with a book. That’s why homeowner and architect Hampton Stephens installed sconces instead of a single overhead light. A custom trestle table by Marjorie Johnston & Co. checks off form and function. a pattern-happy hangout Unlike its cousin, the formal dining room, a banquette naturally feels more fun. Chicago designer Carly Moeller kicked it off with Schumacher wallpaper in a feathery green design and floral outdoor fabric by Richloom for the seat. With bistro chairs by Serena & Lily and a sleek pendant from Design Within Reach, she says, “it’s as appropriate…

TURN THE PAGE FOR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Start by choosing a tile for the space that contrasts your existing floor in both shape and scale, and lay out a pattern to determine your design. Feather out the edges of the pattern for a transitional look. Insert spacers in between the tiles so that the pattern isn’t off. TIP: Use a permanent marker to trace your pattern on the floor so you know where to cut. STEP 2: Use an oscillating saw to cut flooring to fit around the design of the tile, then use a putty knife and hammer to pry up the flooring being replaced by tile. If necessary, use a stain touch-up pen on the existing floor to cover any areas that may have chipped during removal.…

the DIY Network Ultimate Retreat 2018 headed for the hills! Nestled in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, in the town of Sapphire, the 1985 cottage’s location is stunning—but the pre-reno interior was not. It had a choppy layout and dated finishes, like shabby floors in the kitchen, blah beige carpet in the bedrooms, and track lighting galore. Once the DIY Network crew gutted the approximately 2,400-square-foot space, they created an airy kitchen–dining–great room, installed new wood floors, and brought the fixtures into the 21st century. For a fresh spin on mountain style, designer Elizabeth Demos picked a perky blue-yellow color scheme, modern wood accents, and furniture in soft fabrics. “I wanted this house to feel comfortable and familiar—without stuffed bears!” says Elizabeth. “It’s like you’ve been here a hundred times…

1. Find a good cabinetmaker or carpenter to build it. Make sure the space is roomy enough to fit a 40-inch-diameter table so it doesn’t feel cramped. 2. Decide whether your bench will have cushions; if so, the seat will need to be built slightly lower to accommodate their thickness. 3. Add storage! Drawers are easiest; they don’t require lifting the seat to access what’s inside. 4. Instead of putting the backrest at a 90-degree angle from the seat, consider slanting it back slightly—it’s more comfortable. 5. Pedestal tables work best for sliding into and out of bench seating without hitting a table leg.…

how bad is it to carry a leather bag in the rain? Most leather bags have a finish that provides some protection. “If yours gets a bit wet from a rain shower, wipe it off with a paper towel as soon as possible and it should be fine,” says Jack Georges, founder of the brand Jack Georges Fine Leather Goods. In a torrential downpour, moisture could seep in; left untouched, a bag may end up with water spots (especially if it’s a light color) or start to deteriorate. But there’s a fix: Once the bag is fully dry, evenly apply leather lotion all over with a soft clean white cloth. Although it might make the color slightly darker, the water spots ought to blend in. Don’t attempt to protect it…

When Erica and Kenny Messer bought their Los Angeles cottage eight years ago, they were a patterns-on-pillows-only kind of couple. “We always picked solids in earth tones when we bought big house stuff,” says Erica. “I was nervous about getting anything busy or too colorful because I didn’t want to get sick of it.” But after she and Kenny gutted the house and expanded it from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet for their family of four, they were open to a style revamp. Good friend and local designer Molly Luetkemeyer gave the print-shy couple the exposure therapy they needed: a dotted rug here, a floral window shade there, and—yes!—mounds of pillows in a flurry of patterns. Together it’s all California-cool, with natural touches that nod to the beach (which is…

about the house BUILT IN: 1900 BOUGHT IN: 2014 SIZE: 3,536 SQ. FT. “The first thing I noticed about this Queen Anne was the rounded, glass-enclosed front porch—it’s so unique!

French lavender frames the start of the path. Pink and white impatiens add color beside the steps.
