PINK PARADISE “For me, relaxation means warm, sunny colors,” says Tara Suydam (@taracottasunrise), like the ones in the rainbow she painted in her Columbus, OH, crafts room. It’s basically impossible not to decompress in a wicker egg chair that’s nearly 3 feet deep (from Target) and surrounded by nubby blankets and pillows. “I’m 6 feet tall and I’ve taken naps here,” she says. HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT Santa’s helper needs a place to check lists…and enjoy morning coffee. That would be Tiffany DeLangie (@prettyrealblog), who commandeered an empty corner in the family room of her house in Raleigh, NC. She built the table by nailing 3/8-inch round dowels to a stiff fiber tube and attaching a pine-edge round top with wood glue; the leatherette chairs are from Apt2B. “When my…

1 CONJURE UP A RAINBOW Adorable in a cluster or scattered across a mantel. And they can be broken down and stored flat at the end of the season. 2 PLAY WITH WORDS You’ll delight the family if you spell out names with initial ornaments on a garland or a tree, or dangle their initials on stockings. 3 BOW OUT No need to replace your existing decor: Different-size bows will zhush it right up. Stick with a simple palette—here, pink and red—to keep it cohesive. A sprinkling of bottlebrush trees and a banner or two add to the festivities; the “Merry Christmas” one is made of felt letter ornaments. 4 TRY A GARLAND SLEIGHT OF HAND Sure, you can drape greenery to one side! (Mind: blown.) To trick out any basic…

Catch the season premiere of Fixer to Fabulous on Tuesday, November 16, at 9 p.m. ET. given that they’re the hosts of HGTV’s Fixer to Fabulous, Jenny and Dave Marrs know how to create beautiful kitchens: It’s their job! For their own, they also wanted to make sure it was welcoming and family-centric, and suited the 118-year-old farmhouse on the outskirts of Bentonville, AR. Cabinets by Morgan Millworks (painted Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore) boast classic good looks, a quartzite backsplash and countertops are perpetually stylish, and new white oak floors seem like they were always there. The 3-foot-by-9-foot maple trestle table and bench, built by Dave, “is the center of our house,” says Jenny. “Someone is always doing homework at it, snacking, coloring, or, this time of year, wrapping…

midnight in NY BY BEHR “Putting up wood boards on a diagonal and painting the wall dark greenish gray gave my neutral dining room impact. It’s a shade that invites people to sit down and stay a while.” —Lindi Vanderschaaf, @love_create_celebrate, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada radiant sunrise BY DUNN-EDWARDS “To anyone who thinks ultrabright yellow is too much, check out how it funned up my home office alcove! I went all in with a matching velvet chair and a daisy pillow that’s totally ’70s.” —Ilana Harkavy, @ilanaharkavy, Los Angeles, CA kalamata BY BENJAMIN MOORE “My clients’ daughters wanted magenta in their bathroom except their parents thought they might outgrow it. So we pushed it slightly darker to eggplant. The color picks up on the gray streaks in the countertops, and…

candy cane castle 1. Adhere vertical strips of red washi tape all over the house and trim the ends. We used 15-millimeter washi tape for the diagonal stripes and 8-millimeter for the straight ones. To make small pieces for the doorway and windows, place a strip of 15-millimeter tape on wax paper and cut—they’ll peel off easily. Attach washi tape to white vellum, then adhere vellum to the inside of each window with double-sided tape. 2. Cut a piece of red cardstock for the door and adhere with double-sided tape on the inside of the house. Hot-glue on a white bead for the knob, then hot-glue a mini wreath to the house. WASHI TAPE PA Essentials 8-millimeter and 15-millimeter washi tape in red, $4 for a set of 2 rolls,…

Q How can I make sure I get a good one? A Read my description for the branch tip count—the higher it is, the fuller the tree—and the material. Polyethylene (PE) comes off as most authentic, since the tips are made from molds of real branches. Go for a tree that has hinged branches, which are permanently attached and a sign of top quality. Q Do you ever feel kind of inferior? A Nope. Unlike a live tree, I’m sap-free and nonsticky, and I won’t shed dead needles that you’ll be finding around your house until July. I also don’t need to be watered, snipped into shape, or checked for creepy crawlies. And I’m ideal for heavy ornaments—my wire branches won’t droop. Q Got any tips for buying you online?…
