when HGTV Magazine asked me to guest-edit this issue, my first thought was OMG, yes! This really is my dream job, because magazines are my happy place. Of course, I love TV shows (after all, I have one), but on screen, home reveals happen in the blink of an eye; on social media, they go by even faster. When you read a magazine, you have time to sit with beautiful photographs of a space and learn about the design. For detail lovers like me, finding all that inspiration and info in one place is a treat. (I always read the editor’s letter, too, because who doesn’t love hearing about all the cool stuff that happens behind the scenes? I can’t believe I’m writing one right now!) As I started planning…
basil BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “I wanted to give this hallway study space a timeless feel, and this shade of green, with gray undertones, was just the right paint for the job. I replaced part of the wall with a wood partition that lets in light but still creates a sense of privacy during homework time.” —Lisa Rossman, @ll.design.co, Huntington Beach, CA sublime BY CLARE “This peacock blue was the perfect choice for a guest room/office: It’s bold, welcoming, and calming all at once.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT MATTRESS You spend one-third of your life in bed, why not make it wonderful? MAKE IT PERSONAL Scale the size to your space and match the firmness to your sleep style. Map out your bedroom to determine whether a king or a queen would be the best fit. If you sleep with a partner (or pets!), it may be worth sizing up. Find the right feel—Firm, Plush, or Ultra Plush—based on your usual sleep position. THINK LONG TERM A high-quality mattress should last up to 10 years, so invest in comfort, durability, and support. Research how it’s made—the materials used for the interior and the exterior can have a major impact on comfort and durability over time. TRUST THE LEGACY Seek out a brand with…
jasmine is on a mission to normalize fake houseplants. “Every room needs some green to feel homey, but not every room gets the right light for plants, and not everyone has time to care for them,” she says. She speaks from experience: After moving into her current home, she bought dozens of plants, only to have them die while she was traveling for work. She replaced them with fakes and never looked back! Here are some of her favorites—in every size. large medium small…
Nothing against orange, but silver and gold will match any existing decor you have.—Breegan Jane, HGTV Dream Home 2023 SKULL CANDLEHOLDERS 1. Using a drill and a 7/8-inch hole saw, drill a hole in the top and bottom of two 5-inch plastic skulls (some already have bottom holes). 2. Spray-paint one skull silver and one gold. Let dry. 3. Roll museum wax into a 1-inch ball and use the wax to plug the hole on the bottom of each skull, leaving extra wax hanging out of the holes. 4. Place the skulls on your surface—the extra wax on the bottom will help steady them. Put a taper candle in each skull, pressing it into the wax. Remove the candle when it burns to a few inches above the skull. SKULLS…
