“I’m grateful that Agahozo makes great wall baskets! These are handwoven by women in Rwanda. I’ve hung several in my living room with other pieces to create a mixed-media gallery wall.” “I’m grateful that Kelly Kay Paper Co. makes great calendars! Their tabletop calendars are my go-to holiday gift, because the artwork looks beautiful on a kitchen counter or desk.” “I’m grateful that Woodworkings makes great tables! We use some of their furniture in every house on Home Town. It’s awesome seeing other Mississippi makers doing what they love.” “I’m grateful that Sazerac Stitches makes great lighting!

When Meegan and Paul Melgus started house hunting around Lake Michigan, they knew exactly what they wanted: “a steal of a place we could put our stamp on,” says Meegan. That’s just what they found in this 2,000-square-foot 1930s Rolling Prairie, IN, home. “The structure was great and the house had been well cared for by the previous owners, but most of it hadn’t been updated since the ’50s,” says Meegan. The couple zeroed in on everything old-fashioned—dark parquet floors, dated light fixtures, and the not-cool kind of floral wallpaper—and made it in fashion, with help from designer Crystal Blackshaw. They bleached the wood floors; painted the walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets; and decorated with fun furniture and wallpaper for a modern-rustic lakeside vibe. “Paul and I like things with…

Before they moved into their 1894 Glen Ridge, NJ, home several years ago, the Blank family had put up with a kitchen so small it barely qualified as a room. “Only two of us could ever be in there at once,” says Megan, “usually Ryan doing the cooking, and me following him and clearing away the mess!” When they redid the kitchen in their new place, they were after roominess and functionality, though they didn’t want a space that took itself too seriously. Working with designer Diana Weinstein, the couple snagged about 100 square feet from a laundry room that got kicked upstairs. They put in a ginormous island and two sinks—one for prep, the other for cleaning—then amped things up with a cornflower blue (Blue Heron by Benjamin Moore)…

THE DESIGNERS: Catherine and Bryan Williamson of @beginninginthemiddle (116k followers) “When you promise your parents you’ll update a ’50s home in Columbus, OH, they’re doubtful about buying, you rise to the challenge!” says Catherine. “The living room had wood paneling and lacked dimension. Bryan and I redid the fireplace with marble, built a new mantel, reworked the built-ins, then added fresh paint all around. My grandparents’ velvet sofa and an antique-look mirror—it’s actually from Lowe’s—blend old and new. It was so amazing hearing my parents yell ‘Wow!’ when they saw the results.”…

Oops! You took out your tablecloth and it’s stained. “Try a little stain magic,” says Patric Richardson, a textile expert based in St. Paul, MN, known as The Laundry Evangelist. For red wine and yellowed white wine stains, make a paste of liquid hand soap and an oxygen-based stain buster—such as OxiClean Versatile stain remover powder—and sponge on; for gravy or grease stains, apply a mix of equal amounts water and vinegar. Leave on for 30 minutes, douse with hot water from a teakettle, and let dry. For wax stains from candles, remove drippings with a butter knife, place brown paper bags on both sides of the fabric, iron on the lowest setting, then lift the paper (the wax absorbs into it); repeat until all the wax is lifted. Oops!…

granny smith BY BENJAMIN MOORE “For the crafting room of a colorhappy family, painting the cabinets and the shelves was a no-brainer. This green apple shade is playful and not overwhelming next to the patterned floor. Who wouldn’t have fun here?!”—Deboni Sacre, Liv Design Collective, Highland, UT be daring BY PPG PAINTS “The name of this yellow pretty much says it all!

lots of p-o-p The second she laid eyes on this peel-and-stick wallpaper on Instagram, homeowner Kate Eckert in Brick, NJ, knew it was “the one.” “I was redoing our dining room on a budget by surrounding the table and chairs and stone fireplace with vibrant color,” says Kate.

It still has that old American soul, she says,…

NOT BAD AT ALL! NOT SO BAD! KINDA BAD! PRETTY BAD! REALLY BAD! SUPER BAD! how bad is it to give up bugging your partner to pick up their stuff and do it yourself? Throw in the (damp) towel and you’ll probably still feel resentful. That could seep into the relationship, says the Rev. Roxy Birchfield, a minister specializing in marriage counseling based in Brooklyn, NY. She recommends the “sandwich” technique, to be tried at a time when you’re not upset. Start with positive points about how your partner keeps the household running: “I appreciate all the stuff you do for us—I mean, I haven’t mowed the lawn in years!” Share your vision for improvement: “I know you’ll never be as neatness-obsessed as I am, but I’m hoping [insert a…
