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…

For years, I’ve been dreaming of fixing up an A-frame in the mountains. My husband, Brett, and I weren’t actively house hunting, but I had an alert set for houses that fit our criteria: close to a lake, commutable from our home in Huntington Beach, CA, and never-before renovated (because I have to do my own thing!). When this 1,085-square-foot cabin in Arrowbear popped up on my phone, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then HGTV Magazine called and asked me to guest-edit this issue. They wanted to feature a new project of mine—the perfect excuse to buy the place! Renovating it in time for the photo shoot deadline was a real hustle, but I’m obsessed with how the house came out. We call it Hazel’s Cozy Cabin, after our…

Pamela Gibbs admits she wasn’t much of a cook—until she overhauled her Washington, D.C., kitchen. “It’s amazing how much more you want to make things when you have a nice place to do it!” says the homeowner, who went from eating Chinese takeout nightly to searing her own halibut and hosting dinner parties. She bought the house in 2013 from the original owners, but it didn’t look like anything had been updated since the 1960s. “It was hard to move around the kitchen because of the choppy layout,” she says. She hired designer Kristen Mendoza to reimagine the space, which involved ditching the dining area in favor of an island big enough to accommodate all her friends, including her entire book club. Now Pamela, who leads a diversity, equity, and…

ALL ABOUT A-FRAMES A WINNING SHAPE Triangular houses have been popular around the world for centuries, as farmhouses in Japan, Maorian meeting places in New Zealand, and ski chalets in Switzerland. The style has long been a favorite among architects for its dramatic lines and angles. WEST COAST ROOTS Architect Rudolph Schindler designed the first known A-frame in the United States in 1934, in Lake Arrowhead, CA—not far from Jasmine Roth’s cabin on our cover! The simple structure was relatively cheap to produce and became a go-to style for vacation houses. INDOOR / OUTDOOR LIVING A-frames are built with the outdoors in mind. They tend to be small, but they’re drenched with light from large windows and skylights, and they often have spacious patios or decks. They’re great in the…

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…

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…

THE PIONEER WOMAN’S salted caramel apples 8 medium apples4 11-ounce packages caramel bits1/2 cup heavy cream1 teaspoon vanilla extractKosher salt, to taste 1. Scrub the apples under hot water and dry well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the caramel bits with the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vanilla and a dash of salt until smooth. Turn the heat as low as possible to keep the caramel liquid, or turn it on and off as needed. 2. Stick a skewer or chopstick into the top of each apple. One at a time, dip the apples in the caramel, tilting the pan to coat them almost all the way to the top (the warmer the caramel, the better). Let any…

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. Because this room doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight, the color has a moody vibe, like deep, dark ocean water.” —Hema Persad, @hemaapersad, Los Angeles, CA sweet taffy BY BENJAMIN MOORE “I ran with my clients’ ‘more is more’ attitude and painted their laundry room walls and…

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…

There’s a photo from my old show Hidden Potential that still gets tons of clicks and likes on Pinterest and Instagram. What’s baffling to me is that it’s just a photo of a sign with house numbers! For years, fans have asked me where I got it, and I always laugh because I made it myself. Turn the page to see how you can create your own. —Jasmine STEP 1 Bring your house numbers to a hardware store and have a piece of plywood cut to a rectangle that fits them with a little room to spare on all four sides. This project is so easy. The hardest part is waiting for the primer to dry! STEP 2 Lightly sand the wood to make the edges and corners less sharp.…

the details STRIPED GABLES add a fun twist to this Craftsman bungalow, a popular house style in Huntington Beach. Homeowners Blake and Lauren Orgill had white slats of wood laid over a black background to give the illusion of more detailed trim. THE GRAY PAINT COLOR took the Orgills months to find. It turned out the perfect shade was on a nearby house: “We wanted a subtle, beachy gray. One day Blake called and said, ‘I found it!’ ” says Lauren. She knocked on the door and asked the homeowner the paint name. “She was so flattered.” A DUTCH DOOR built by a local woodworker is the cats’ favorite perch: They sit on the bottom half when the top is open. a brief history of dutch doors These split doors…
