Take a moment to peek back at the cover of this issue. It looks like it was photographed on a perfect sunny day in the middle of summer, right? In reality, this picture was taken in April during a torrential and unexpected thunderstorm. Our home and style director, Jami Supsic (that’s her on the far left), styled most of the shoot from under an umbrella and had to dash out between downpours to arrange lounge chairs and move the pool float just so. It was a wild day—but it’s far from the craziest thing Jami has done for the sake of getting a beautiful photo. As our resident design pro and location scout, she has driven hours in the Oregon wilderness to style a House Tour, waded through eight-foot snowdrifts…

E25-03 BY FINE PAINTS OF EUROPE “Fire-engine red is a great shade for this dresser, which is in a little boy’s bedroom. And that sophisticated glossy finish makes it a piece the family will keep for years to come.” —Lisa Fleming Picciano, @lisaflemingdesign, Madison, NJ coney island BY BEHR “This blue-green isn’t too bright, so it works really well in my bedroom. I was surprised by how calming it feels on a big wall! And I love the way the neutral furniture pops against it.” —Emily Castelle, @homewithemilyjean, Sacramento, CA comical coral + intimate white BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “I started with the color on the vanity and went one shade lighter for the wall. They’re both airy and bright with a subtle hint of color. I find the best gems in…

“My husband, Ben, and I always try to use U.S.-made products over anything else. If we’re going to be serious about revitalizing small-town America, then we need to be serious about buying things created in America.”—Erin Napier, Home Town…

When Morgan and Gonzalo (Gonzo) Sanchez were designing their dream home, the one nonnegotiable was an outdoor kitchen—specifically a quincho, a gathering space with a coal- or wood-fired grill. Gonzo is from Paraguay, and he and Morgan lived in Mexico before moving to Austin in 2018, so they wanted to include a Latin American–style entertaining space in their renovation. “Honestly, this kitchen was more important than the indoor one!” Morgan says. Gonzo will spend all day here grilling meat while she and the kids splash around in the pool. To create the “modern hacienda” look they wanted, the couple hired designers Adam Talianchich and Ashley Menger, who suggested the bold tile floors and painted bricks. “We were heavily influenced by our time in Mexico,” Morgan says, “and we wanted to…

If you’ve ever considered putting in a pool, we can give you plenty of reasons to break ground: For one, you’ll become everyone’s favorite summer friend. And having a pool can increase your home value by 7 percent. During the past few years, backyard pools have become more popular than ever. The billion-dollar residential pool industry has jumped 32 percent since 2020, and according to real estate experts, “pool envy” is here to stay. These days, there’s a pool for every person, whether you want to swim laps, do cannonballs, or just sip a drink in the shallow end. Read on for inspiration, then go float some ideas past the family!…

Choose a Shape Curved and freeform designs fit a wider variety of spaces but can cost more. Choose a Material Choose a Filtration System SALT Pool-grade salt (not the same as ocean salt) is a low-fuss option that naturally creates chlorine, minus by-products that can irritate the eyes and skin. CHLORINE You’ll have to handle chemicals and test the water for balance. But unlike salt, it won’t corrode the metal in your pool, like the ladder. Choose Your Waterline Tiles They act as a border on the inside perimeter of a pool and prevent pollen, sunscreen, and oils from creating a scummy ring. Plus, they’re pretty!…

“I grew up playing with my own Barbie dolls, plus ones that belonged to my mom when she was a kid. I still have them all!”—CHRISTINA HALL “Playing with Barbies was my after-school ritual for many years. I loved to rearrange the furniture, act out different storylines, cut their hair, and dress them with spunk.”—MIKA KLEINSCHMIDT “The first time I ever moved furniture around was in Barbie’s A-frame Dreamhouse. It made me realize my imagination could become a reality. Life-changing stuff!”—TY PENNINGTON “I remember getting multiple 1986 Barbie Dreamhouses for Christmas because I’d told everyone I wanted it! I exchanged the extras for the Barbie Camper and a ton of Barbies and clothes. Dream holiday!”—EGYPT SHERROD…

Bring on the Bunting Bunting is an easy and affordable way to get in the spirit, says Spotsylvania County, VA, blogger Kathryn Packard (@kathrynpackard), who snagged these online for $25 each. “Be sure it’s outdoor material, so it can get wet and won’t fade,” she says. And look for bunting with grommets so you can easily hang it from hooks or zip ties. Go Vertical “I wish I could go even bigger!” says designer Chrissie Anthony Haim (@chrissiehomeanddesign) of the 4-foot-by-6-foot flag adorning her Locust Valley, NY, home. It stays put from Memorial Day to Veterans Day, and a spotlight shines on it at night. Good to know: When displaying a flag vertically, the blue square (called the Union) must be in the observer’s top left. Make a Bouquet Karri…

About Our House BUILT IN: 1867 BOUGHT IN: 1992 for $185,000 SIZE: 1,800 sq. ft. THE LOOK: This was a wealthy town in Victorian times; a lot of houses, like ours, were built around that period.

Heather and Brad Fox own a design and build company, so they know a gem when they see it—which is how they ended up buying a chopped-up 1951 ranch-style home on a small lake in Edina, MN. The house, which was last renovated in the ’80s, had a massive suite on the main floor that included two bathrooms and a bar, while the other bedrooms (for the couple’s kids, Graham and Wes) were crammed together on the lower level. Heather and Brad reworked the floor plan but made sure to honor the home’s 1950s roots with design choices like globe lights, teak wood, and abstract wallpaper. “We try to stay true to a house’s era, for both our clients and ourselves,” Heather says. “We’re naturally drawn to mid-century style, so…

The hobnail design on this tumbler is usually found on antique glassware, so it gives the acrylic a high-end look. Gold details and fluting elevate the plastic drink dispenser. GREEN TEA ARNOLD PALMERS ¾ cup sugar8 green tea bags½ cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons), plus slices for garnish 1. Bring 4 cups water to a boil with the sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool 5 minutes. 2. Add the tea bags and steep 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and gently squeeze out the liquid; pour the tea into a pitcher. Stir in 3 cups cold water and the lemon juice. Chill and serve over ice with lemon slices. Short-stemmed wine goblets are great for frozen margaritas because they're sturdy—and the wide mouth was practically made for…

Climbing Hydrangea This clinging vine version of the beloved summer shrub has white petals that fade to pink. Don’t expect the vines to look lush overnight: Once they’re established, they’ll bloom annually but take years to spread. Eventually, though, they can soar 50 feet tall. If you’re using a trellis, make sure it can handle the weight. Clematis Purple is the most common color for these slow-growing perennial vines. While they’re happiest basking in the sun, the roots prefer to be cool and shady, so mulch around the plant’s base to shield it from the hot rays. When the flowers die in the late fall, some plants have fluffy seed heads that decorate the vine—they look great in flower arrangements! Nasturtium If you want to cover a lot of space…

WHAT’S OUTSIDE COUNTS When you have wall-to-wall glass, it’s not easy to hide a busy road or messy yard by just closing the drapes. This is why most of these homes are in beautiful, natural settings. “The views are like the home’s art,” says Heather. PRIVACY MATTERS Look for a property…
