Important Garage Safety Tips
Is your garage really as safe as it should be? 70% of homeowners use the garage as the primary point of entry into their home. Make sure yourgarage is safe with these important tips.
Follow this handy GarageSafety checklist.
You may not be able to see or hear it,
but your garage door opener may not
be operating properly, or even safely.
Follow these 3 easy steps:
� Block the photoeyes with an object over 6
inches tall, and press the garage door opener’s
close button. The door should not close.
Lay a 1.5 inch-high object on the ground in the
door’s path, and press the close button. The
door should reverse off this object.�
Check the sides of your garage door for
properly installed photoeyes (black sensors),
mounted no higher than 6 inches off the fl oor.�

You know that house in your neighborhood that gets totally done up every Halloween? The one with a dozen plastic
tombstones in the yard (R.I.P. Hugh R. Next!), witches on the roof, a skeleton
on the door, and orange twinkle lights everywhere? I love that house. That
house invites people to take a long look and have a laugh. If you live in that
house, thank you. Thank you for going gangbusters with ghosts, gourds, and
goblins, and for entertaining us with all your decorating ideas. It can’t be easy
to go to such great lengths every year. You must spend hours downloading
eerie music to pipe through the speakers hidden in your bushes. I bet you
search high and low to find dry ice for your porch cauldron, because
what’s a cauldron if a foggy brew isn’t bubbling over it? And you were
probably up to your elbows in pumpkin goo, carving jack-o’-lanterns
alone in the kitchen because the kids abandoned you for cartoons
in the other room. But you stuck it out! And now everybody
who passes by your amazing spooky-style place whips out
a phone and takes a pic. In your own spirited way, you’re
bringing the neighborhood together—doing your part
to perk up the block and create community pride. It’s as
easy to see as the giant inflatable spider in your yard:
Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without you.

Sara, your story “My Dollhouse Waited 34 Years for a Makeover” in the July/August issue brought back
memories. My sister and I recently
refurbished a dollhouse, which our
father built, for my grandnieces. We
finished it just in time for the girls’
shared birthday party!
—Nancy Dieckow,
San Antonio, TX
letters
I was so excited to see Young House Love in the July/August issue
(“100,000 People Visit Our House Every
Day”). They are such an inspiration to
“regular” people with an itch to get crafty!
—Lindsay Spears,
Washburn, MO
My ceiling fan has rattled for 12 years, and I had tried everything to fix it. Then I read Chip Wade’s advice in
“Talk to a Toolman” from the July/August
issue: Tighten the screws on the blades,
and measure from the tip of each blade
to the ceiling to make sure they all fall in
line. It worked—my fan is finally quiet!
—Linda Duguay,
Niagara Falls, Ontario
I had to smile when I read “Hey, Critters, Keep Out” in the June issue, because I have all of those animals in
my yard! I love living on the edge of the
woods, but there’s a lot of work involved.
Thank you for some new suggestions.
—Cathy Berk,
Anacortes, WA
Vern’s measurement tips couldn’t have come at a better time (June’s
“Design by the Numbers”). We were three
weeks away from moving into a new
home when the issue arrived. Now we’re
confident we’ll do all our projects right.
—Jill Lex,
Sugar Hill, GA
dear HGTV magazine
It was so much fun to play the real estate game “Is This House Old or New?” in your July/August issue. Thanks
for including stories that kids my age (12
years old) can enjoy! —Sara Bozuhoski,
Binghamton, NY

TO US
When your July/August issue arrived, I was overjoyed. I said to my husband,
“Do I want the happiness of reading it
now, or should I let my anticipation build
until tomorrow?” He just shook his head
and laughed. —Jill Spaulding,
Battle Creek, MI

Vern’s room inspired this redo!
I nabbed this piano bench at a yard sale for $5. To give
it an update, I painted it red (Emperor’s Silk by Annie Sloan),
took the old fabric off the seat, added batting, and re-covered
it in a zigzag print from fabric.com. Thanks for the inspiration!
—Patti West,
Oswego, NY

This dresser is from our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I gave it all new drawer
pulls and limewashed
it with Briwax liming
wax. Now it’s a pretty
piece in our entryway.
—Betsy Cain,
Boone, NC
I am a big fan of Vern Yip’s style,
so when I saw the
striped walls in his
son’s room in your
May issue (“Playtime
With Vern”), I knew
I had to try that look
in my 3-year-old’s
room. I used two
shades of paint from
Behr: Eminence in
flat, and Liberty Gray
in high gloss. I love
the way it came out!
—Corinne Feldman,
Miami Beach, FL
SEND YOUR PHOTOS TO [email protected].
To give my bedroom a new look, I painted the wall behind
my bed Intense White by Benjamin Moore, then added a
pattern using stencils and crafts paint (Silver Sterling by Folk Art
Metallic). I also created my own canvas art using acrylic paint.

Baton Rouge, LA

CRAFTS PAINT: Deco Art Americana acrylic crafts

TWIST UP THE STEMSBrush a foot-long strand of twine with white
crafts glue, then wrap it around a marker.
While the glue is still sticky, slide the twine
off and set it aside on wax paper—this will be
the curly topper for your pumpkin. Wrap the
stem with another strand of twine, securing
with dabs of hot glue every few rotations.
Before you reach the top of the stem, hot-
glue the curly piece to the stem’s side. Finish
wrapping the rest of the stem with twine,
and hot-glue the end in place.
PLAY WITH PATTERNFor the design on the left, stick long strips of
masking tape on the pumpkin. You can cut
the tape into various widths first if you want.
Paint the pumpkin yellow, let dry, then peel
off the tape. For the zigzag design, freehand
the pattern using different-size crafts brushes
and a variety of paint colors.

very superstitious!If you’ve ever walked under a ladder or broken a mirror and thought, Uh-oh!, check out this list of good luck/bad luck beliefs to learn how they got started.
SUPERSTITION: Peacock feathers are unlucky.WHERE IT CAME FROM:
In Greek mythology
peacocks were sacred
to Hera, a jealous
and temperamental
goddess. Experts say
the connection to her is
what may have earned
the feathers a bad rap.
SUPERSTITION: Putting shoes on the table causes bad luck at home.WHERE IT CAME FROM: Since footwear
touches the floor—generally considered
a dirty or “bad” place—it’s thought
that putting them on the table brings
misfortune into your house.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY MELINDA BECK WRITTEN BY JAIMIE DALESSIO
SUPERSTITION: Walk beneath a ladder and something bad will happen.WHERE IT CAME FROM: One popular theory suggests that a ladder propped
against a wall, forming a triangle, symbolizes the Holy Trinity in the Christian
faith. Walking underneath it is disrespectful, thereby bringing bad luck.
32 hgtv magazine
SUPERSTITION:
Passing someone going the opposite direction on the stairs is bad luck.WHERE IT CAME FROM: The origin traces back to biblical
times and the idea that there was a ladder bridging
the heavens and the Earth—the same way a staircase
connects two floors. Blocking a staircase was thought to
keep spirits from passing between the two worlds, which
would trigger negative consequences.

SUPERSTITION: If you spill salt, toss a pinch over your left shoulder to ward off bad luck.WHERE IT CAME FROM: Salt was once a
prized possession. Ancient Romans were
often paid in salt—it’s the origin of the word
salary—and many people assumed that if
you spilled salt, you’d attract evil spirits.
One way to keep them at bay was to throw
them a pinch.
SUPERSTITION: If you crack an egg and get a double yolk, it’s good luck.WHERE IT CAME FROM: Historically
eggs have symbolized new life. Experts
say that’s why some people equate the
rare occurrence of a double yolk with
doubly good fortune.
SUPERSTITION:
A horseshoe above your door with the open end pointing up brings good fortune.WHERE IT CAME FROM: Some say this
practice has Christian roots that can
be traced back to a story in which the
devil promised never to enter a house
with a horseshoe over the door. Some
also believed that the horseshoe’s
U-shape would catch and hold good
luck for the people inside the home.
Hanging the horseshoe upside down,
however, would empty out any luck
stored there.
SUPERSTITION: Placing a hat on the bed
leads to misfortune.WHERE IT CAME FROM: In ancient
times, it was taboo for a warrior to
bring his helmet into the house. Some
historians think that practice evolved into
the belief that putting your hat on the bed
would bring about unfortunate events.

SUPERSTITION: Break a mirror and you’ll have seven years of bad luck.
WHERE IT CAME FROM: People once
thought that a mirror held the soul of
the person looking into it, so it made
sense that if you cracked a mirror, you
would experience equally traumatic
consequences. The time period comes
from a belief that the body renews itself
every seven years.
SUPERSTITION: Placing your purse on the floor hurts your finances.WHERE IT CAME
FROM: In many
cultures, laying
something on the
floor is a sign of
disrespect for that
object. Since a purse
holds money, the
belief goes, you’re
snubbing those funds
if you place them on
the ground.
SUPERSTITION: A cricket in the house is good luck, so don’t ever kill one. WHERE IT CAME FROM: The cricket’s rise
to lucky-charm status may have evolved
from its chirping abilities. It was thought
their singing could predict the weather,
changes in luck, or even the arrival
of friends. Their harmless nature also
earned them a place of welcome, at least
as far as insects go, inside the home.

WRITTEN BY JESSICA DODELL-FEDER AND SARAH GROSSBART
BOTTOM LINE:
…to let your kid play with a phone at the
dinner table?A: It’s never a good idea to let your little one spend all
of dinner playing games, whether you’re at home or in a
restaurant. “The last thing you want your child to do is check
out for the entire meal,” says Robin Wells, president of Etiquette
Manor, a Miami-based etiquette school. “Even 5-year-olds
should have the self-discipline to put up with a few minutes of
boredom.” That said, if you’re spending most of dinner talking
about something he won’t understand, you could give him a
phone break for a few minutes. But if your child is older than
10, says Wells, he’s out of luck. At that age, he should be able to
sit through a whole meal without needing a distraction.
A: Nice as it is to pare
down your cleaning caddy,
don’t treat glass cleaner
like an all-purpose answer.
Although it’s great for shining
up windows, glass cleaner is
high in ammonia, which can
etch or dull granite and marble
and even wear away laminate
if it’s not wiped off completely,
says Melissa Homer, chief
cleaning officer for MaidPro,
a national housecleaning
service. It also lacks a
disinfecting agent, which
is essential for cleaning any
surface that comes in contact
with food. “A multipurpose
solution that disinfects is
a better choice for granite,
marble, laminate, and most
other materials,” says Homer.

Buzz Lightyears banging
down your door? That’s
not a good enough excuse
to skip out on your trick-
or-treat duty. Participating
in this holiday requires
relatively little time, effort,
and money—and it’s what
good neighbors do. “Think
of Halloween as a chance to
bring joy to the kids in your
community for just the cost
of some candy,” says Bruce
Weinstein, Ph.D., author of
Ethical Intelligence. And if
you can help it, try not to
be stingy with sweets. After
all, Halloween is only one
day out of the year—and
being generous could save
your lawn from getting

how bad is it…
BOTTOM LINE:
really bad!
A: Although most states
won’t penalize you, resist the
temptation to toss a done-for
bulb. Eventually it’ll end up
in a compactor or landfill,
where it will likely break.
Once that happens, the bulb
releases a tiny amount of
mercury, which is toxic to
people and animals, into the
air or water. “While it’s a very
small amount, it’s still better
to recycle a CFL,” says Molly
Hooven, a spokesperson for
the Environmental Protection
Agency. So bring your bulbs
to a home improvement
center or waste collection
agency—many will handle the
recycling for you.
BOTTOM LINE:pretty bad!
BOTTOM LINE:pretty bad!
…to feed birds at the park?A: Think twice before
you offer sandwich crusts
to a duck or pigeon. Bread,
crackers, and other “people
food” provide little in the way
of nutrition, and they could
hurt your feathered friends’
habitat. Repeated feedings
can draw a large number of
birds to the area, and all the
droppings they leave behind
will contaminate the spot.
“It can throw off a park’s
ecosystem if lots of birds
are defecating in a pond or
pecking at the grass,” says
Mitch Murdock, natural areas
manager for the Chicago Park
District. Also, any uneaten
morsels could attract less
adorable wildlife, like rats. If
you and the kiddos still want
to feed animals, a petting zoo
is your best bet.
…to pull out your gray hairs?A: While it’s not true that
two grays will grow back for
each one you pluck, you’ll
do more harm than good
if you tweeze or yank out
those silvery strands. The
hair that takes its place will
also be gray, and repeated
tugging could permanently
damage the hair follicle,
says New York City–based
dermatologist Meghan
O’Brien, M.D. There’s also
a chance that the strand
may not grow back. If you
absolutely can’t stand the
little sucker, cut the hair
as close to your scalp as
possible. It’s not a permanent
solution, but it’ll eliminate
the gray for at least a month
or two. And if you’re dealing
with more than a few strands,
either bite the bullet and dye
your ’do, or learn to love your
salt-and-pepper look.
Got any quackers?
BOTTOM LINE:
really bad!it’s fine!
for most rugs
for cotton rugs
…to not use a rug pad on hardwood floors? A: A rug pad is a must, and
not just because it’ll prevent
your sisal from sliding.
“When you step on a rug, you
create friction between its
backing and the wood, as if
you were using sandpaper,”
says Tom Jennings, a vice
president at the World Floor
Covering Association. This
will mar your floor’s finish
and cause your rug to wear
prematurely. “You may see
the design fade or become
distorted after a few years,
especially in high-traffic
areas,” Jennings says. The
exception? If your rug is
cotton, which usually doesn’t
have an abrasive backing.

Start by restocking the essentials: antibiotic ointment, gauze pads, adhesive

unexpired pain reliever, hand sanitizer, hydrocortisone cream, and antiseptic
wipe packets, as well as sterile gloves, a first aid instruction booklet, and
an instant cold compress. “Tailor your kit to fit your needs,” recommends
Johnson & Johnson spokesperson Carmen Nestares. For example, “if your

HOW TO
Rent a carpet cleaner for about $25 a day plus the solution (go to rugdoctor
.com for locations). Or save in the long run and buy one (you can find a good
model for less than $200). To start, tackle stains with a pretreatment solution,
says Lou Manfredini, a national home improvement expert and TV and radio
host. Next, mix hot water with the recommended amount of cleaning solution,
and pour the formula into the machine. Beginning at the room’s far corner, push
the vacuum forward to release the cleaning mix, then pull it back to extract dirt
and moisture. Wait until the rug is completely dry before walking on it.

…checked the fit
on your dog’s collar?
Every two weeks for
the first six months of a growing
puppy’s life, then once a month
after that.
A dog’s neck is delicate, and a too-
tight collar could cause skin irritation,
so a proper fit is important, says
Gerardo Perez-Camargo, D.V.M., Ph.D., a
veterinarian with Purina. Check your pup’s collar
while he’s standing on all four paws—you should
be able to slip two fingers inside the collar and
move them easily. The collar can feel tighter
when your dog’s sitting, so double-check that
it’s not too snug in that position, too.

The just-right temp for a fridge is between 38°F and 40°F,
while a freezer should be 0°F, says Sub-Zero representative
Chandler Nault. If you have an electronic display and it’s
not reading cold enough, call a pro for a repair. If your
fridge has a dial with numbers or an arrow, pick up a fridge
thermometer (about $5, hardware stores) for an accurate read.

Point out two exits in each room (maybe a door and a window), says Dayna
Hilton, executive director of the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation. Make sure
there are metal escape ladders in each upstairs bedroom that adults and older
kids know how to use, and designate a meeting spot outside. Then,
imagining there’s a fire, practice the drill: Feel the door with the
back of your hand to check if it’s hot—if it were, you’d need to use a
different exit. Crawl out on your hands and knees—the air would be
cooler and less smoky down low. Then go to your meeting spot.

Thank the weather for wearing down your blades: Heat can warp the rubber,
while icy buildup can cause them to crack, says Dan Ramsey, author of The
Complete Idiot’s Guide to Trouble-Free Car Care. To replace, prop up a wiper
arm and locate the plastic stopper holding the blade in place. Press the
stopper, unhook the blade and slide it off the arm, then slide in the new blade
(about $15 each at auto parts stores). Swivel the wiper arm until the blade clicks
in place, then set the wiper back on the glass. Repeat with the other blade.
At least once
a year.
…tossed out old
makeup?
“Lip products and mascara are where you need to be most vigilant, since
they breed bacteria the fastest,” says Jessica Wu, M.D., a Los Angeles–based
dermatologist. Don’t share those with friends, and replace them frequently
to avoid infection—every three months for gloss and mascara, and every six
months for lipsticks. Liquid foundation should also get refreshed every six
months, or sooner if the texture or smell changes; powders like blush and
eyeshadow can last a year.
Every three
months to a year,
depending on the type.
Ketchup bottles have an expiration date, which is usually 15 months
from the time of production. But once the seal has been broken, it
will last about six months in the refrigerator. If you’re an infrequent
condiment user, you may want to note the date you opened it on
the label. Some bottles have a “best by” date instead. You won’t
necessarily get sick if you use it after that, but it may not taste as
fresh, says Frances Largeman-Roth, R.D., a Brooklyn-based
food and health expert. Also, if your ketchup has gone
from bright red to brownish-red, it’s time to ditch it.
Every six months (once it’s
open).

will cause the burner to stop
working. When your stove

you can also scrub the inside
of the head with a toothbrush.
Then rinse it clean and screw it
back on. If the water from your
faucets also dribbles out, you
may have a problem with your
pipes, so call a plumber.
Q How do I hook up
a porch light?
CHIP SAYS: HIRE A PRO. This
involves running wires and
cutting through your exterior
walls and insulation, so it’s
best to get an electrician. Just
make sure you already have
the fixture you want to install
so he cuts the right size hole.
The light’s mounting box
should fit in it without any
gaps—otherwise moisture or
pests could sneak through. The
electrician will run wires from
your porch ceiling to your main
circuit breaker, then screw in
the fixture. The job can take an
hour or two, depending on how
complicated the wiring is.

Q I want to install

Can I do it on my own?
CHIP SAYS: HIRE A PRO. You’ll
need an audio/video installer—
he’ll know more about speaker
systems and their wiring needs
than an electrician. Before he
arrives, tell him the make and
model of your system so he
knows which wires to bring.
He’ll run them through your
walls from your TV or stereo to
where you want your speakers.
The pro can also cut holes in
your walls for the speakers
and mount them, but that will
likely add at least a few hundred
dollars to the cost.
Q How can I boost
the water pressure
in my shower?
CHIP SAYS: GIVE IT A GO. First
check that the shower is the
only place where you have low
pressure—if that’s the case,
your showerhead’s spray jets
are likely clogged with mineral
deposits. To clear them out,
soak the head in a solution of
one part white vinegar to three
parts water. Let it sit overnight,

Mediterranean bronze fi nish delivers a rich old-world look with striking light and dark accents.
BATHROOM STYLE
■ SHOWER SPOTLIGHT One of the easiest ways to elevate your
bath experience is with the right shower-
head. Look for one that offers comfort and
water conservation, like the Moen Ashville.
Its generous 9" diameter provides excep-
tional water coverage, while its Invigorain
technology channels water with more spray
power than most rain showers. A PosiTemp
pressure-balancing valve maintains water
pressure and controls temperature,
ensuring comfort.
■ RAISING THE BAR Towel racks complete your bathroom
by providing a convenient place to dry a
wet towel or by offering an opportunity to
display a decorative one. A ring makes the
ideal holder for hand towels and should be
placed adjacent to the sink, while larger
bars accommodate bath towels.

purple passage BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“This guest bedroom is in the home of a
doctor who sometimes has colleagues stay
over. I wanted the room to feel glamorous—the
complete opposite of the hospital—and no color
does that better than purple. It’s also gender-
neutral, so any guest feels right at home.”

red barn BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“If you want your house to get
noticed, go big with red. This home
was already popular, but now it’s
even more of a neighborhood
landmark. I love this shade because
it manages to be both exciting and
traditional, which isn’t an easy
combo to achieve. Keep all the other
details on the house simple and
you’ve got yourself a winner.”
—Jen Franks, Bret Franks
Construction Inc., Little Rock, AR
delightful aqua BY PRATT & LAMBERT
“This powder room features lots
of natural wood and stone. When
I was thinking about a paint color,
turquoise made perfect sense. After
all, turquoise is a natural material
too. Since the wood and stone are
matte, I picked semigloss for the
paint. When you’re choosing paint,
consider contrasting colors and
finishes. It’s a simple trick.”
—Allison Caccoma, Caccoma
Interiors, San Francisco, CA
antibes green BY ANNIE SLOAN
“The piano is one of the first things you see when
you walk inside our home, so we wanted a color
that‘s full of spunk. It lets guests know right away
that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. I used a
dark wax on top to give the green a richer tone.”
—Monica Mangin, East Coast Creative, Bucks County, PA

temptation BY BENJAMIN MOORE
“This kitchen opens up to
a formal dining room, so I
wanted the cabinets to feel
dressed up too. Steel gray
did the job. Since the rest
of the kitchen is white and
beige, the room still feels
friendly and bright. I could
see this color in a cozy
den, too, or in any room
with lots of natural wood.”
—Benjamin Dhong, Benjamin
Dhong Interiors, Berkeley, CA
deep carnation BY BENJAMIN MOORE
“This is a little girl’s
room, so I chose a bright
bubblegum pink that
makes her desk feel
one-of-a-kind. A good
tip for pink: Pick a shade
that doesn’t exactly
match the other pinks
in the room—it will look
more sophisticated.”
—Shirley Meisels, MHouse
Inc., Toronto, ON

waterscapeBY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“There’s almost no way you can go wrong mixing orange and blue.
One’s hot, the other’s cool. One’s energetic, the other’s serene. When
I’m using a color that pops, like this coral, I prefer a glossy, reflective
finish. The aqua can work either shiny or more matte and distressed.”
—Tobi Fairley, Tobi Fairley Interior Design, Little Rock, AR

Suction power is measured in Air Watts and, as you can see, Dyson DC41 has twice as much suction at the cleaner head than any other vacuum.* Its cleaner head self-adjusts to seal in that suction across carpets and hard floors.

HGTV Star judge Vern Yip shares his best shopping, sizing, and arranging tips.
area rugs1 To figure out your ideal rug
size, measure the room’s width and
length, then subtract two to three
feet from each dimension. The
result is what you should aim for. 2 A good rule of thumb when
deciding where to put a rug: Make
sure at least the front two legs
of each piece of furniture in the
space sit on the rug. Otherwise it
will look like it’s floating. 3 Nothing beats a wool rug. Yes,
it’s the most expensive kind, but
it feels the softest, has the richest
colors, and wears the best. If wool
is out of your price range, try
nylon or a synthetic blend for a
similar look that’s just as durable.4 Natural materials such as sisal,
jute, and sea grass are affordable
and go with any color scheme.
Just keep in mind, they look
casual and can feel scratchy. A
wool or nylon rug that mimics the
nubby texture of natural fiber will
be kinder to your feet. 5 Flat-woven kilim and dhurrie
rugs, which are usually made
of cotton or wool, are a fun way
to add pattern to a room. But
because they’re thin, they don’t
hold up as well as rugs with a pile.
Soft on your feet and can be hosed
down—great for outdoors!

Save them for low-traffic areas,
or layer one over a sturdier rug. 6 Standard rug sizes range
from 3 feet by 5 feet to 9 feet by
12 feet. If you need a larger one
or have an oddly shaped room,
consider getting a piece of carpet
cut to size and bound. I did that
in my kids’ playroom and paid
hundreds less than I would have
for a regular rug in a similar size. 7 Don’t forget a rug pad! It
will prolong the life of your rug

DID YOU KNOWthat Chronic Dry Eye (CDE) is a disease with potential consequences for your eyes?
What is CDE disease?
CDE occurs when your eyes don’t make the right quality or quantity of natural tears (called the tear fi lm) to keep your eyes moist and protected. This can lead to dry spots on the front surface of the eye, called the cornea.
® marks owned by Allergan, Inc. APC44YV12 © 2012 Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA 92612, U.S.A.
@LEARN MORE about CDEMyDryEyes.com
TALK TO YOUR EYE DOCTOR about your symptoms
ASK QUESTIONS about your options
CDE may impact your ability to do both work and leisure-related activities
How do I know if I have CDE?Only an eye doctor can tell you if you have CDE. Although they may vary from person to person, common CDE symptoms include:
» Dryness
» An itchy sensation
» A stinging, burning sensation
» A gritty or sandy sensation
» Sensitivity to light
» Excessive tearing
» Blurry vision or diffi culty seeing at night
Many people with CDE fi nd that their symptoms don’t go away over time. Recognizing how these symptoms affect you will help you understand the true impact CDE is having on you.
How does CDE disease impact my activities? The symptoms of CDE can impact many things you do that involve your eyes. Think about how CDE may be limiting your ability to do both work and leisure-related activities. And consider how many times you need to stop what you’re doing to use artifi cial tears.
Recurring dry eye symptoms can cause increased discomfort while:
» Reading
» Driving at night
» Watching TV
» Working on the computer
» Wearing contact lenses
What damage may happen to my eyes if I have CDE?If your eyes don’t make or maintain the right quality or quantity of tears, your tear fi lm may become unstable and break down. This can create dry spots and cause irritation on the front surface of your eye, and may develop into CDE. Over time, CDE may get worse and have potential consequences for your eyes, including:
» Damage to the eye surface
» Increased risk of eye infection
» Effects on your vision
What can I do if I have questions about CDE disease?Talk to your eye doctor today. The good news is that there are treatment options available for CDE.
The only way to fi nd out if you have CDE is to talk to your eye doctor. If you have questions about CDE disease, make an appointment with your eye doctor.

1. Remove the drawers and unscrew the knobs. 2. Paint the dresser. We started with an unfinished wood dresser and gave it a drybrush look. (If the dresser you’re making over is already painted or stained, see “Prep Your Dresser,” page 116.) Dip just the tip of the brush into latex paint. Dab the bristles on a paper towel, then brush the paint onto the dresser with quick, light strokes so the wood grain shows through. Paint the entire frame, including the legs, using this method. 3. While the paint dries, measure the dimensions of your drawer fronts. Cut the decal sheets into pieces a little bigger than each drawer front and stick them on, smoothing out air bubbles with an old credit card. Wrap any excess around the edges—you’ll still be able to close the drawers easily.4. From inside the drawer, use a nail or pushpin to poke a hole through the decal sheet where each knob goes. Screw in new knobs, and slide the drawers back into the dresser.D

Use sample
pots of paint for this
project—you only need a
little for each stripe.
1. Remove the drawers and unscrew the knobs. 2. Use a small roller to paint the drawer fronts and the entire frame with one color of latex paint. Let dry, then slide the drawers back into the dresser.3. Tape off your first stripe: To make sure it’s straight, use a measuring tape to make pencil marks every few inches, starting at the back of the dresser’s top and working down the front. Apply delicate-surface painter’s tape along those marks. Repeat with another piece of tape, running it parallel to the first piece. Use a utility knife to slice the tape between the drawers, pressing down the edges.
4. Paint the first stripe with a brush. Peel off the tape while the paint is still wet. While the stripe dries, tape off and paint another one a few inches away. Repeat with as many stripes as you want, eyeballing the distance between each one. You can even paint thin stripes over wide ones—just make sure the first coat is dry before applying tape.5. Place paper cups upside down and poke the drawer knobs through the tops to hold them in place. Paint each knob the same color as the stripe it matches up with on the dresser. Let dry, then screw them back in.

1. Remove the drawers and unscrew the knobs. 2. If your dresser is unfinished, prime the frame and drawer fronts (otherwise the raw wood will soak up too much decoupage glue). Let dry.3. Cut the paper—we used two rolls of wrapping paper—into various strips and squares.4. Roll or brush Mod Podge matte finish onto the dresser frame and the back of the paper, working with one piece at a time. Stick the paper to the frame, overlapping the edges. Smooth out any air bubbles with an old credit card. You can also use the card to push the paper into any nooks and crannies in the wood. Roll or brush a coat of Mod Podge over the paper, and let dry.5. Following the instructions in step 4, decoupage the drawer fronts. Let dry, then slide the drawers back into the dresser. 6. Paint the dresser’s legs with latex paint that’s the same color you’ll use for the monogram. 7. Attach loops of painter’s tape to the back of the stencil, and press it on the dresser. Paint inside the stencil, immediately remove it, and let dry. 8. From inside the drawer, use a nail or pushpin to poke a hole through the paper where each knob goes. Screw in new knobs.

prep your dresserWe started with an unfinished dresser. You can find similar styles at youfinishfurniture .com and goodwoodfurniture.com. If you already have a painted or wood-stained dresser you want to redo, here’s how to prep it:
1 CLEAN IT Wipe the dresser with dish soap and water. Use a rag and some
Goo Gone to remove any stubborn residue.
2 SAND THE WOOD Starting with coarse sandpaper and working up to
fine sandpaper, rough up the finish or paint so that new paint or decoupage glue can
stick to the surface. After sanding, wipe the dresser clean with a tack cloth.
3 FILL IN ANY NICKS OR HOLES Spread wood putty over the dings with
a spackle knife. Let dry, then sand so the patches lie flush with the wood. Wipe clean with a tack cloth.

additionA Baton Rouge family got the three new rooms they
wanted—by building just one screened-in porch.
mission makeover
with two teenage sons and an 85-pound yellow Lab, Jay and Barbin Graham were
craving more space in their 2,600-square-foot home of 15 years. But when they got
an estimate for an addition—$350,000—they had sticker shock. “You could build a
new house for that!” says Barbin, who owns a sign-manufacturing company with Jay. Instead,
they found a way to add room for a lot less money: Replace the back deck with a 500-square-foot
screened-in porch designed as an outdoor living room, kitchen, and dining area. Total cost?
$65,000. Plenty of prime features—pine floors, vaulted ceilings, a brick fireplace, a built-in gas
grill, and weather-resistant furniture—have made it the family’s favorite spot. “The boys and their
friends even sleep out there sometimes,” says Barbin. “It’s like we added an extra bedroom, too.”
extra-large coffee tableBarbin knew she
wanted a coffee table
big enough for a crowd.
A local metalsmith
built the base (painted
Intellectual Gray by
Sherwin-Williams) and
added a 4-foot-by-5-
foot reclaimed-pine top.
The new screened-in porch added
500 square feet!

eucalyptus wood. The floor pillows and

the house, but the family wanted
a place to cook on the porch, too.

and Turner eat dinner
together on the porch
as often as they can.
For seating, they picked
benches made of weather-
resistant eucalyptus wood
(from Pottery Barn).
durable floorsThe pine floor is pressure-treated to
prevent rotting. To clean it, Barbin just
gives it a garden hose rinse. The water
drains out of the spaces between planks,
and screening under the floor keeps
bugs from climbing through the cracks.
BEFORE YOU ADD A SCREENED-IN PORCH
Top tips from Elbow Room’s Chip Wade.
● Invest in good heavyweight screens that have tight-fitting aluminum frames.
● For floors, consider composite decking. It won’t splinter like wood can, and its screws typically don’t loosen up.
● If you live in an area with cold winters, get a portable infrared heater. It warms large spaces quickly, and you can just plug it in when you need it.
● Even if you don’t plan to install speakers or a TV right away, have an electrician pre-wire for them during construction. It’s a lot cheaper than having to cut holes and run wires after the porch is built.

TV cabinetThe Grahams had a 5-foot-by-
7-foot cabinet built for their 60-
inch TV, which is wired with
outdoor surround-sound. “We
used to have season tickets for
LSU football games,” says Jay.
“But then we realized we had
everything we needed right
here! Now our friends invite
themselves over to watch.”
wood-burning fireplaceThe prefab brick fireplace (from
isokern.net) was about half the
price of a custom-built version.
With a gas ignition, it’s a cinch to
light with just a match—no old
newspapers or kindling needed.

WE ASKED READERS to tweet a
photo of their latest paint project
for the chance to win a $500
Sherwin-Williams gift card. Amie
took her inspiration from the
HGTV® HOME by Sherwin-Williams Color Pizzazz collection and
created a wow-worthy chevron
nursery. Here, we share some
tips to help make any room
magnificent.
PLAY WITH SCALE: What do you want your makeover to achieve? Amie’s wide chevron stripes in alternating yellow tones create an eff ect that’s modern yet not too busy for a sleepy baby.
PRINTS CHARMING: Don’t be afraid to mix patterns. We love how Amie combined her bold chevron stripe, polka-dot wall art, Moroccan rug, and decorative bin. As long as you use complementary colors, your room will look pulled together.
THRICE AS NICE: For a designer look, group accessories in odd numbers, and vary size and color for visual interest. Here, Amie’s two photo frames and ceramic owl add “pop” in front of her lamp.
GO BEYOND THE WALLS: Use HGTV® HOME by Sherwin-Williams colors on furniture too!

This old wingback chair got a new

with a wool blanket and patched it up
with vintage Boy Scouts badges.

here are some houses where certain pieces of furniture—even entire
rooms—are off-limits to the kids. But at Michelle and Dave Kohanzo’s
Barrington, IL, home, it’s just the opposite. Maybe that’s because
Michelle is one of the creative minds behind the children’s design
company The Land of Nod, where color and fun reign supreme. The
four Kohanzo kids, ages 6 to 15, are not only allowed to toss their feet
over the side of an armchair, but they also have a say in what comes into the house
and what doesn’t. “We share every bit of space, so I’m happy for the whole family to
weigh in,” says Michelle. “My daughter, Emily, loves to shop with me, and she’s not
afraid to veto something if she doesn’t like it. Dave and the boys have plenty of their
own ideas too.” The result is a happy-go-lucky style where grown-up taste and kid-
inspired spunk live happily together.

living roomInspired by her childhood summers in a woodsy part of Wisconsin, Michelle gave the living room a lodge-like feel with wool-covered armchairs and an antique oak coffee table. To balance the coziness, she had the lampshades covered with edgy black Orla Kiely wallpaper. She liked it so much she covered a wall with it too.
The kids often sprawl out with puzzles
and blocks in the living room. For
speedy cleanup, toys get tossed in the
yellow felt bin in the corner.
A mash-up of pillows from Etsy,
Anthropologie, and Crate & Barrel
brighten up the sofa, a $200 Etsy find.
It’s upholstered in black vinyl, so it’s as
easy to wipe down as a countertop.
We’ve got a soft, squishy rug in this room. Whenever I walk on it, I feel like I’m on a cloud!

kitchenInstead of replacing the original dark wood cabinetry, Michelle painted it Sweet 16 Pink by Benjamin Moore and gave the entire kitchen a Neapolitan color scheme (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate). “It’s kind of silly, but it’s way more fun in here than it used to be,” she says.
The hutch’s interior is covered with
floral wallpaper.“The kids are crazy about garlands, so
we put them up in a bunch of places,”
says Michelle. This one’s from Etsy.
An ice cream shop
inspired the kitchen
design. Michelle
played it up with a
retro pink toaster,
pastel metal pails,
and pink gingham
curtains.

dining roomThe wood table and white chairs and benches are mixed in with a few dressier pieces: an antique chandelier and a vintage armoire filled with amber dishes from Michelle’s grandma. The graphic rug is from West Elm.
Michelle paints the dining room
a different color every few years,
which is a big hit with the kids.

boys’ bedroom“I loved the idea of my sons bonding by sharing a room, like in a dorm,” says Michelle. So she turned their upstairs family room into a bedroom for all three boys. “I split apart bunk beds and added a flea market bed in the middle. There’s just a tiny bit of space between so I have to scoot the beds around to make them.”
The boys have pretend cookouts in the yard. The camper tent and faux campfire are from The Land of Nod.
I like the vacation pictures on the walls the best. Especially the one of me with a fish I caught.
—Connor, 12
Maps from old issues
of National Geographic
are stuck to the walls
with wallpaper paste.
“The boys each needed to be able to claim a

den “This is the coziest spot in the house—we read and take naps in here,” says Michelle. The design started with a Crate Barrel sofa upholstered in a green botanical print. An Etsy seamstress made the clover-print roman shades from fabric Michelle found at spoonflower.com. The antique rug, from eBay, was the right size but wrong color—a dull beige—so she dyed it blue.

master bedroomEven though Michelle chose a “dreamy, muted palette”—the walls are painted a soft blue (Morning Sky Blue by Benjamin Moore)—this room is hardly ever calm. Every evening the entire family piles into the king-size Anthropologie bed to chat and watch TV. The wall decal above the bed says ”I love you beyond measure” ($40, shannamurray.com).

something old,something new,
amy Corcell can’t resist a good junk shop. She’s also a flea market fan, a
Craigslist connoisseur, and a discount website devotee. So when it came
time for this stay-at-home mom to decorate her Cashiers, NC, home,
she shunned the idea of one-stop shopping and began gathering furniture and
accessories from a heap of sources. “It became a game—what cheap piece could I
score and what could I do with it to make it look fabulous?” says Amy. Two of her
friends, designers Hooper Patterson and Ann White Schutte, got in on the challenge
too, scouring everything from country antiques fairs to big-name mall stores to fill
up the house for Amy, her husband, Mike, and their three children. The designers
also took some of the Corcells’ older pieces and updated them with new fabrics and
a fresh coat of paint. In the end the team pulled together a home that’s anything but
matchy-matchy, says Amy. “We landed on the perfect mix of comfortable, colorful,
and completely one-of-a-kind.”

KITCHEN The kitchen’s star is its island, which can seat up to six. Harrison, 5, Hayes,
4, and Camille, 2, eat all their meals there. “And when our friends come over, that’s where we end up,” says Amy. The barn-wood top is coated in high-gloss paint (for a similar look, try Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore), so it’s easy to clean with a damp cloth. The oak base is Forest Hills Green by Benjamin Moore.
Industrial-style pendants look sleek over the rustic island. For similar styles, try bellacor.com.
Everyone uses the high-back steel stools from overstock.com ($170 for a set of 2).

Amy scooped up this kid-size
chair for just $4 on eBay.
The oak chairs by furniture company Gabby were reupholstered in coral velvet. Zincdoor.com has similar styles.
The upholstery was in good shape, so Amy kept the
armchair, which cost about $500 at an auction, as is.
A flea market steal at $10, this 1960s wood side table has a hammered copper top.
LIVING ROOM The white linen Robin Bruce sofa is “so comfortable, and best of all, it has a 10-year warranty on stains,” says Amy. The big gray flannel chair is neutral too, so Hooper and Ann brought in color and pattern with a leopard-print ottoman and coral armchairs. The built-in cubbies hold decorative accessories, books, and auction buys. To keep them from looking cluttered, Amy filled half of the cubbies with just one item each.

BEDROOM “We used to live in London, so that inspired the design for Hayes’ bedroom,” says Amy. She chose a navy, light blue, and red color scheme and added some British accents, like Union Jack pillows and framed pages from the book This Is London. Hayes (below, right) and Harrison regularly roughhouse, so Amy played it safe with mostly inexpensive, easy-to-replace pieces from Target and IKEA, and a striped wool rug from HomeGoods. The pine dresser is a flea market find and does double duty as a nightstand.

when we set out to find the
most embarrassing kitchen in
America, we expected to see
some shocking spaces. But Susan and Hansen
Lee’s kitchen still took us by surprise. It was not
only outdated—cabinets from the ’50s, dingy
countertops, and (holy cock-a-doodle-doo!)
rooster wallpaper—but also dysfunctional. The
dishwasher was kaput, the ovens opened only six
inches before crashing into a door frame, there
was no space for a fridge, and the family didn’t
have a place to sit together for dinner. When our
contest winners bought the Woodland Hills, CA,
house last December, a kitchen overhaul was at
the top of their to-do list. But that plan got put
on hold when their leaky roof needed replacing.
“For months we ate takeout most nights, with the
kids at a little play table and Hansen and I at the
counter,” says Susan. A style resuscitation was in
order, so after hatching a plan, HGTV Star winner
Tiffany Brooks and contractor Jeff Devlin, host of
DIY Network’s I Hate My Bath, got to work.

roomy peninsula Tiffany and Jeff doubled the family’s countertop space with an 8-foot peninsula topped with marble. The base is painted blue “to inject some fun,” says Tiffany. Woven barstools from Pier 1 Imports are more like chairs than stools. Great for kids!
organized pantry Before the makeover, storage was scarce. “There was barely a place to put a box of cereal,“ says Tiffany. “So in the old oven space, we built 16-inch-deep cubbies with cabinets underneath.” The sliding barn door is from Etsy. Tiffany stained it blue (Wedgewood by Behr).
updated floors “I love hardwood floors so much I’d put one in my shower if I could!” says Susan. So out came the old tiles, and in went hickory wood planks. For the kids’ nook, Tiffany cut Flor tiles into 9-inch-by-9-inch squares and laid down a checkered pattern.
kids’ nook ”All kids like forts, and this is our version,” says Jeff of the girls’ space that’s a step up from the floor. The benches and Plexiglas-top table open up to store art supplies and toys. The cushions are made with indoor/outdoor material from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft.

Just about every weekend of the year, Josh,
far left, and Brent invite friends over to their
200-year-old farmhouse in upstate New
York. That’s a lot of hungry mouths to feed.
It’s also the perfect excuse for the couple
to try out new recipes. One of their biggest
hits originated from a quirky snack Josh’s
grandmother used to make: cornbread
soaked in buttermilk and sprinkled with
sugar. With a few tweaks, the two turned
Grandma’s recipe into a multipurpose dish
that can work as a rich side—”serve it with
turkey or roasted chicken,” suggests Josh—
as dessert drizzled with maple syrup and
heavy cream, or even as breakfast. “People
love something sweet with their coffee in
the morning,” says Brent. “We serve it with
fresh fruit and yogurt when we want to
lighten it up.”
Josh and Brent’s latest book is The Beekman
1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook.
buttermilk cornbread puddingSERVES 8
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1⁄2 stick), melted, plus more to grease the pan
1⁄2 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed from frozen
3⁄4 cup coarse cornmeal
QUICK TIPAdd a hint of
citrus—sprinkle with 2 tablespoons
of orange zest before serving.
Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, aka the Cooking Channel’s Fabulous Beekman Boys, share a fall favorite.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter
a 9-by-9-inch baking dish.
2. In a food processor or using a hand
mixer, pulse the corn kernels, cornmeal,
flour, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt until combined and the kernels have
started to break down.
3. Add the butter, eggs, buttermilk, and maple
syrup and process until well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the dish and bake until
set around the edges but slightly custardy in
the center, about 35 minutes.
HANDY COOKING TOOLThis touch-pad-controlled processor can chop, mix, knead, and slice—all with a quiet motor.

cleanup hose Universal Leaf Collector,

Fit this product’s canvas top over a garbage can, then attach the extra-long hose to a leaf blower/vacuum. Suck up the leaves, and they’ll go right into the trash.

When it comes to cleaning out tough spots between tree roots or shrubs, this rake’s slim head and tapered tines make it the absolute best.

collection bags Dsolv starter kit (includes
8 mesh bags and a pop-

We compost at home, so I love the idea of these biodegradable
mesh bags. Just fill them up, then leave
them out for collection or drop them in your
compost heap. The bags break down as well as
paper, but they’re made from ecofriendly plant
resin instead of trees.

Crotons are tropical plants, but you can still grow them
in the fall in most areas if you keep them protected from
the wind and harsh weather. With their glossy, golden
leaves—splashed with red, green, and orange—they add
zing to lavender mums.
They’re pretty on their own—but better with a partner!
This hydrangea has giant, leathery foliage that looks
like oak leaves and goes from green to purple, orangey
bronze, or deep red in the fall. Its poufy white flowers
eventually become dusty pink. Plant it in a flower bed
and add a complementary border of pink mums.
WRITTEN BY LINDA VATER
Although ornamental peppers aren’t nearly as tasty
as garden bell peppers, their shiny green foliage and
surprisingly pretty red, yellow, orange, and purple fruits
pop against white. For a quintessential fall arrangement,
plant the peppers and mums along with some creeping
Jenny in a pot or window box.

With its green, gold, and pinkish-red leaves, Nandina
‘Firepower’ practically glows against yellow or gold-color
mums. This bamboo-like plant reaches about two feet tall,
so try it in a container with a cluster of low-lying mums.
Hot pink blooms and rounded burgundy leaves on thick,
arching stems make ‘Purple Pixie’ a dramatic partner for
mounds of vibrant orange mums. If the fall weather is cool
and moist, this variety of Chinese fringe flower should
produce a second flush of flowers.
Pair mums with these colorful fall bloomers.
Purple heart’s mauve leaves, and its pinkish-purple
flowers that sprout throughout summer and into fall, are
a fun contrast to ruby-hued mums. The plant reaches
only 10 inches tall, so spill it over a hanging basket’s sides
with clusters of the mums.

How about a witch’s hat as a bowl? Just turn it upside down and fill it up. It’s unexpected—and no extra work.
—Casey Noble, Design on a Dime
Make a jack-o’-lantern face on a fishbowl using decals, then fill it with orange-wrapped Hershey’s Kisses.
—Vern Yip, HGTV Star
I wrap full-size chocolate bars in white crepe paper streamers, mummy-style, to give to my favorite kids. Don’t forget to add googly eyes!
—Meg Caswell, Meg’s Great
Rooms
Decorate small brown paper bags with washi tape, fill them with a mix of candy, then tape them closed. Each trick-or-treater gets a cute little package to open.

It’s Halloween!
What’s a creative
way to hand out candy?
Try this clever but not overly
complicated idea: Have a black canvas tote bag embroidered with
the word boo and fill it with mini candy bars.
—Chip Wade, Elbow Room
Put floral foam inside 6-inch wood ‘coffins’ from a crafts supply store. Stick lollipops in the foam, and let each trick-or-treater pull out one or two.
