koral kicks BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “We live in a neighborhood that has a bunch of brightly colored front doors, but none are quite like our pink one. It stands out against the sage siding, calls attention to our cute front porch, and, during the holidays, makes decorations look even better.” —Tauni Everett, homeowner, South Jordan, UT tropical dusk BY BENJAMIN MOORE “My client and I turned a sitting area off the master bedroom into her dream closet. So why not make it as fun as possible? We painted the cabinets lavender, which plays off the ottoman she loves.” —Alisha Gwen, Alisha Gwen Interior Design, Pittsburgh, PA sulfur yellow BY BEHR “The homeowners were a little wary about this intense yellow at first, but they ultimately agreed that it brought a real…

rainbow pop “Few things are more aesthetically pleasing than the spectrum of the rainbow,” says Nashville-based organizing expert Clea Shearer of The Home Edit. Playing with different ornament shades and shapes adds to the fun. Clea’s also done this on a white tree, which has a high-contrast look. rustic + posh “As a compromise, my husband and I switch between a themed tree and a traditional one every other year,” says Heidi Rew, a lifestyle podcast host in Atlanta, GA. She went cozy for this creation, blending buffalo check fabric, fauxfur garland, and white felt flowers with mint and gold ornaments. The letters are her family members’ initials. “That tree skirt is actually a furry blanket I had, folded to fit. I look for ways to save since I often…

NOT BAD AT ALL! NOT SO BAD! KINDA BAD! PRETTY BAD! REALLY BAD! SUPER BAD! how bad is it to have personal packages sent to your office? “First find out if your workplace has a policy on this—an increasing number of midsize and large companies do,” says Andrew Jensen, founder of Sozo Firm in New Freedom, PA, which advises businesses on efficiency. Even when employees are allowed to get packages as a perk, it’s best to limit them to one or two per week—especially this time of year, when mailrooms are extra busy processing business gifts. If your company bans it but you’re buying a pricey item or something that needs a signature (and you feel it’s easier and safer to receive it at your job) talk with the mailroom;…

host a great secret santa DO try a gift theme. It can be helpful for guests to have a starting point. You could specify one type of gift—say, hats, calendars, or games—or go with a broad idea, like around the world or stock the bar cart. DON’T rush it. “Have people pick names a few weeks in advance to allow for time to shop,” says Diane Gottsman, founder of The Protocol School of Texas in San Antonio. An online Secret Santa generator like elfster.com makes matchups a super-simple task. DO send an email to guests about a week later reminding them to put only the recipient’s name on the gift tag, not their own name, and to stick with the price cap, says Gottsman. Keep it lighthearted: “Remember, Santa says…

There was no joy of cooking in Beth and Jason Snyder’s old kitchen in their Fulton, MO, home. “It was standing room only, and anyone there with you would be blocking the very thing you needed—making dinner and baking solitary activities,” says Beth, founder of the stationery company 1canoe2. So the couple made the space her art studio. Then they reinvented their dining room as an open, welcoming kitchen with a burst of color (that island!) and little touches that bring the bliss, like the display shelf below the windowsill, where Beth sets up her bottlebrush tree collection for the holidays. As she says, “Now this is the room where we always want to hang out.” FOR SOURCES, SEE PAGE 127.…

two years ago, Luke Caldwell and Clint Robertson of Boise Boys took on a riverfront property with a foundation so shaky they had to tear the house down and start from scratch. They couldn’t have imagined how all their hard work would pay off. “By the end of the project, I was thinking that instead of selling it, my family should move in—it would more than double our square footage,” says Luke. At the time he and his wife, Miranda, had six kids, including four they adopted with special needs (they’ve since adopted again). As teens, they’d each visited orphanages on service trips. “It was heartbreaking to see children, especially those with special needs, not have a family,” says Luke. “Once Miranda and I started our own, we knew we…
