Fluted designs trace back to ancient Greece and Rome, where vertical grooves distinguished many of the columns now emblematic of classical architecture. The texture’s popularity today coincides with a resurgence in neoclassical design, which draws inspiration from these early architectural styles, as well as the Art Deco style that developed in the 1920s. Both of these aesthetics encompass simple geometric forms, and fluted accents have become a favorite way to incorporate those motifs into modern spaces....

After the drawer dividers were in, I decided to reorganize my sweaters. Instead of stacking them one on top of the other, I stood them up on end so that each could be visible from above the drawers. Not only are they easier to spot right away, but more sweaters also fit in each drawer since the dividers created walls that hold them upright in rows. I love that the dividers are sourced from real bamboo wood and not cheap, easily breakable plastic....

Mini updates are all the more important in a small-space rental, where closet, cabinet, and living space are often at a premium. Brittany and her husband, Kyle Henderson, sacrificed interior square footage to gain outdoor living space when they settled on a 1930s-era bungalow with two bedrooms in the hip beachside community of Costa Mesa, California. But it was the interior’s blank canvas that really sealed the deal. “It’s rare to find a rental that doesn’t have ugly carpet or hideous cabinets, so when I saw white walls, brown laminate flooring, white cabinets, and marble in the baths, I knew we could make it our own,” Brittany says....

Working with architect Greg Dutton and designer Leanne Ford, the Frerottes began the project with the goal of elevating the authentic essence of the home. The small kitchen was the first room on their priority list. To fulfill the Frerottes’ craving for a large kitchen that would accommodate their family of five and a bevy of friends, Dutton relocated it to the center of activity and expanded its footprint. In the kitchen and throughout the house, Ford and Dutton channeled the cottage’s authenticity while adding an industrial edge....

After replacing the floor and appliances, the couple focused on taking stock of what items they actually needed. “Essentially, we have always been proponents of living small,” Joey says. “We tried to toss everything we don’t use on a regular basis.” What they kept, they put into containers in a pair of bookcases in the main room, sorted by category. New furniture throughout the loft creatively enhances available storage space, and reclaimed materials mix industrial chic style with vintage warmth for a mood that’s at once comfortable and contemporary....

The newly built Chicago home has the look of an old London rowhouse. “Romance and elegance are the twin theme songs running through this house,” designer Tom Stringer says. “The decorating was informed very much by Stephanie.

She wanted her children to grow up with nice things so they appreciate nice things and understand how to care for them....

Split Decision Take advantage of the narrow space on either side of the front door by adding pillars of storage. Use one side for hardworking supplies, such as garden tools, plants, and watering cans. On the opposite side, store more unconventional shed items such as crafts supplies and reading materials. This way you’ll be ready for work or play at a moment’s notice. Smart Storage The best way to get a shed that works as a multiuse space is to install flexible furniture and storage units....

Growing Tomatillos Tomatillos are grown just like tomatoes. Plant them in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. They tolerate short drought periods once their root system is established. Tomatillos are generally started from transplants purchased at the nursery and planted in the garden after the last chance of frost passes. They are also easy to start from seed. Start seedlings indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Before planting outside, harden off the transplants by placing them outdoors for a few hours at a time....
