I like to be recognized. Black hides dirt, but a bold hue helps you spot your bag quickly. Add a sturdy tag, not the flimsy free kind from the check-in counter, and write your name, cell number, and email address. To prevent theft while you’re out of town, don’t include your home address. It’s what’s on the outside that counts. A soft-sided suitcase often has zippers that let it expand, great for overpackers, plus external pockets to keep things like itineraries handy. Hard-sided ones might have expanding zippers, but they generally don’t expand as much. A hard shell is also better at protecting breakables. I’ve got moves. Spinner-style suitcases have four pivoting wheels and are designed to roll upright next to you. In-line fixed bags have two wheels and are…

We finally have enough space to build gingerbread houses! —Angela  after two years of making do with the dated-butworkable kitchen in their 1960s Colonial in New Canaan, CT, Angela Badaru and her husband, Adrian Oyekanmi, decided to gift themselves an upgrade. The couple and their three kids were fed up with the room’s closedoff floor plan –– totally separated from the rest of the first floor –– and hobbling-along appliances. “The stove was basically just a warmer,” Angela says. “It took forever to cook a couple of eggs.” That’s not ideal for a foodie family with a passion for making dishes reflecting their Nigerian, English, and Ukrainian heritages, not to mention batches of Christmas cookies. With an assist from architect Sabrina Weisberger Foulke, Angela and Adrian laid out plans for…

tune in! Brothers Take New Orleans premieres on HGTV on Wednesday, November 23, at 9 p.m. ET. the scott brothers love a heated competition, and now they’re sweating it out over who can add more value to their half of a duplex near New Orleans’ French Quarter. After a call from SBP, a disaster recovery nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding homes, Drew and Jonathan flew to New Orleans to get to work overhauling the Hurricane Katrina–ravaged structure for two SBP-sponsored families. Renovating these historic shotgun-style homes has been incredibly tricky, to say the least. The brothers had to deal with years of neglect, plus a previous reno attempt that had gone all wrong. Jonathan says, “This transformation is unlike anything we’ve ever done.” “At work” in New Orleans While filming, the…

…to store iced cookies at room temperature? It depends on the kind of icing, says Jenny McCoy, pastry chef and author of Modern Éclairs. Cookies topped with icing made from confectioners’ sugar and water can be left on the countertop because those ingredients are shelf stable. Stored correctly—in flat, parchment-lined layers in an airtight container—they can last up to two weeks. Cookies covered in most premade icings found in the baking aisle are fine, too. But things get tricky when it comes to royal icing. Traditional royal icing includes raw egg whites, which could harbor salmonella, so treats decorated with it must go in the fridge. However, many modern recipes swap out egg whites for shelf-stable meringue powder. The switch makes your cookies OK on the counter for up to…

dior gray BY BENJAMIN MOORE “People often think this color is blue. In fact, it’s gray—a deep gray that looks great with all the white trim and my white Christmas tree.” —Michael Wurm, Inspired by Charm blog, St. Marys, PA anime BY BEHR “My guest room was feeling like a big snore with its off-white walls, so I took a risk and tried this tropical lime color. I’m so glad I did! It added instant energy to the white bedding and the traditional wood furniture.” —Laura Trevey, artist, Richmond, VA sweet shadows BY VALSPAR “I picked this smoky lilac because it’s not a play-it-safe living room color. It can go a little feminine, but paired with the yellowed paper of these old pencil drawings and the raw wood table, it…

DIY paper box Advent calendar While other people are untangling their Christmas tree lights and shopping the heck out of Black Friday, Sarah Hubbell is gathering up pom-poms, glue sticks, and glitter. “I don’t feel festive until I’m buried under piles of crafts supplies,” says Sarah, a lifestyle and DIY blogger. The 1,760-square-foot ranch-style home in Phoenix, AZ, that she shares with her husband, Ryan; son, Hudson; and newborn daughter, Olive, is dotted with Sarah’s self-styled projects –– some big (a homemade sliding barn door), some small (pillow covers made from fabric napkins). When the Christmas season rolls around, her crafty nature kicks into overdrive. “Every year I do something different with new projects and colors,” she says. “Ryan jokes we need another shed just for ornaments.” On tap for…

To say we talk a lot about color at HGTV Magazine is the understatement of the year. Swear to Santa, it’s our favorite topic. We never get tired of it because color allows you to have the most fun and use the most creativity when you decorate— whether it’s a room or a Christmas tree. Around the holidays, we focus these convos on color combos. Now let me say right away: There’s nothing wrong with red and green; we use that classic-as-they-come duo plenty. But we wouldn’t be totally satisfied if we didn’t also show you a bunch of new color twists, trends, and combinations that might knock your striped socks off this season. Want to get festive with tangerine, fuchsia, turquoise, chartreuse, purple, and yellow? Be our guest! Looking…

Filled with desserts like Chocolate Satin, Coconut Cream, and Dutch Apple pies, the Marie Callender’s truck…

amaryllis vs. paperwhites Easy-to-grow amaryllis produce large, usually red, mildly fragrant, trumpetshaped flowers. Indoors, they bloom six to eight weeks after being potted. Paperwhite bulbs are also easy to grow indoors. Their fragrant clusters of small, white, daffodil-like flowers, which last about a week, appear six weeks after bulbs are potted. pillow sham vs. pillowcase A pillow sham is a cover with a decorative element, like a border, and a flap opening at the back. Pillows in shams are meant to be removed from the bed before sleeping. Pillowcases—made of the same fabric as sheets—cover the pillows you sleep on. Each has a side opening, and the openings should face away from each other when the bed is made. white cake vs. yellow cake White cake is made with flour,…

christmas tree The Rogerses set up their tree in a corner of the living room, and it can be seen from the street. “Every time we pull into the driveway, the boys lose their minds,” says Kelly of this stunner decked out with gold, emerald, crimson, and cobalt ornaments that play off the deep blue walls. kelly Rogers never pictured herself living in a house built more than a hundred years ago. In 2012, she and her husband, Joe, were under contract for a newly built home in Newton, MA. But the deal fell through, and they had to start house-hunting all over again. “It was deflating,” says Kelly, a decorator who owns her own company. “I’d already mentally moved into that house.” But the couple’s mood turned around when…
