IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 1 What do you not love about your current fridge? Make a list of stuff big and small that isn’t working for you—it’ll help narrow down your search by highlighting features you need.

my happy home office Given that designer and crafter Jo Gick of Chandler, AZ, views life through multicolored glasses, brightening the place where she makes the magic happen came naturally. After painting stripes on the pegboard, walls, and floor, Jo (@ohsojo_) placed markers in rainbow order in white IKEA containers, posted inspo images, and sprinkled in offbeat bits like a mini cactus piñata. “It’s the room of my dreams,” she says, and it’s unapologetically hers: “If my husband tries to come in here, I kick him out!” my glamified entry Not everyone gets giddy about a bland space, but Camille Kurtz (@the_kurtz_home) saw only potential in the 12-foot-long entry of her new San Marcos, CA, home. “I did the work mainly at night, after my kids were asleep,” says Camille.…

What’s a smart way to decorate inside your front door when you don’t have a foyer? DO THIS “Create a setup that not only makes a great first impression but also maxes out storage,” says Pittsburgh, PA, designer Betsy Wentz. Consider a compact console with at least one drawer, two mini X-benches, or a storage bench if you have the space. “Benches with lift-up tops look less busy than ones with open shelves for shoes,” she says. A mirror will expand the space, and a rug can define it. JUST DON’T… overdo the accessories—a small bowl for keys, a family photo, and a lamp keep everything simply chic. One big piece of art or a few smaller pieces? DO THIS When there is a fair amount of furniture and accessories…

Restaurant owners Trae and Carolyn Lamond were on the hunt for a home in Alexandria, VA, with a great kitchen. Trae’s parents had the solution: their place, a 1920s farmhouse where he’d been raised. “They had decided to sell and thought it would be cool to keep it in the family,” says Trae. Although the cooking space wasn’t quite the couple’s idea of foodie heaven, with its small footprint and dark cabinetry, the family-friendly neighborhood and dearth of other prospects won out. After tapping design/build team Michelle and Kevin Schmauder, they upped the size by merging it with the dining room; put in an island and new cabinetry; and ended up with a bright, cheerful spot. When Trae’s folks first came to see it, there was just a little sellers’…

spiced apple cider BY BENJAMIN MOORE “My guest room needed more warmth and personality, and it got both when I painted the walls deep coral.
