easy organizing tricksNo more excuses! Its time to finally get that clutter under control with these simple

tidy-up ideas for your kitchen, living room and beyond. By Hether Morgn Shott


5/44

fall 2013

install open shelves in your kitchen

Turn extra wall space above your kitchen counter into prime

storage space. Group dishes in different colors and patterns

together to jazz up your dcor (and get rid of the mess!).

corral silverware with trays

To keep things neat (and safe), place sharp knives in their own

area. Arrange butter knives, forks and spoons that you use everyday in the center. Slide chopsticks and plastic spoons underneath.

use hooks for an uncluttered entry

Hang your coats and hoodies right by the door: Youll have what

you need when you need it. Store boots underneath and help them

keep their shape by stuffing them with rolled-up magazines. When

it rains, put wet shoes on a cookie sheet to keep your floor dry.

store bulk items in glass jars

Ditch ugly cardboard boxes and packaging and store items like

lightbulbs and pasta in pretty clear-glass jars. Add labels to spices,

flour, sugar and other items that could easily get mixed up. >

keep kitchen essentials in a central spot

Save time by stashing spices, utensils and pasta close to the stove.

With a wall shelf and see-through storage containers, youll always

have easy access to everything you need while cooking dinner.

cut the clutter in your workspace

Keep your creative juices flowing while youre working at home

with a well-organized office. Mix functional boxes and bowls with

a few pieces that inspire you. And dont forget the importance

of great lighting in your workspace!

box up and label your belongings

Stick your knickknacks in boxes that are pretty enough to leave in plain

sight, or small enough to slide under your bed. Keep it all straight with

DIY labels made from gift tags and leftover ribbon.

pick shelves that do double duty

Backless shelves are a great way to store books and decorative

objects that match your living room dcor. Another benefit? You

can use them to break up one large living area into two different

roomsan ideal way to maximize loft space. >

paint drawers for a colorful storage solution

With this creative organizing idea, your kid wont have any excuses

for a messy room. Tuck books, toysyou name it!out of sight for a

space thats relaxing and restful. Paint cupboards in bright, fun colors

that help make cleanup time fun.

install hanging shelves in your kitchen

Keep your kitchen counters tidy by mounting shelves with glass doors

above your sink. Youll know right where your plates and cups are

when you need them, and youll free up under-the-counter space for

larger gadgets, like that stand mixer and food processor.

make an easy diy magazine rack

Are your favorite mags piling up? Check out this simple organizer

made from a super-cheap pegboard and stretchy cords with hooks.

In addition to your old mags, this is a great way to corral umbrellas,

old books and even sunglasses. [n]

I only have $50 to spendon my bedroom. help!

I like the idea of

adding color, but dont

want to commit to

something long-term

like painting or buying

a major purchase such

as bedding, drapes or a

rug. Any suggestions?

What about metallIcs?Weve heard brass Is hot...

Whats the best way to addpatterns to my existing dcor?

Whats a

fresh Way

to decorate

With black

and White?

How can I

make thrift

store finds

look new?

You dont have to spend big to freshen up your space, says

Jordan Reid of Ramshackle Glam. Make your bed look luxe

with faux-fur pillows. Deck your nightstand with fall blooms

in a colorful glass vase. Frame and hang an inexpensive print.

Punch up your pad with a few

colorful objects, suggests interior

designer Julie Thigpen: Fill an

orange bowl with apples for a DIY

centerpiece; add a knit throw in deep

raspberry to your sofa; or line your

mantel with rust-colored candles.

It isand brass

accessories will add

warmth and dimension

to your space, Anderson

says. Look for decorativebowls, vases, candlesticks

and picture frames to

add a vintage touch to

your dining room or

living room. Bring the

trend into your home

office with a pretty

brass paperweight or

pencil sharpener. [n]

Pair one pattern with a solid color, or mix and match

contrasting patterns, recommends Jamin Mills, cocreator of

the blog The Handmade Home. For fall, situate a chair

with a tribal pattern next to a jewel-toned accent wall. Or dress

up your sofa with a classic plaid throw (your dads old

tartan will work!) andpillows with modern geometric designs.

A black-and-white room

looks polished and

elegantjust be sure to

use different textures

and patterns to liven up

the space. Be on trend

this season with stripes,

says Katie Anderson of

design blog Modern Eve.

Look for vases, wall art,

tablecloths and even

bedding with variegated

stripes, diagonals or

other linear motifs in

black-and-white.

Reinvent chairs and shelves

with spray paint, Thigpen advises.

Stick with solid colors that match

your dcor, especially if you

already have a lot of prints in your

room. Your space will look

fresh and seasonal, not themey

or overdone, she explains.

okay, so I know that beer doesnt

just go from grain to bottlebut

how is it actually made?

Check out the four-step process to see howbreweries make that magic liquid:

mashing Brewers add a generic grain

(often malted barley) to hot water in a steel

vat or oak barrel. Then, they use special

instruments to mash the barley (think

mashing a potato), which takes one to two

hours. The point is to convert the carbs

(aka barley) into sugar.

boiling The mixturenow called sweet

wortis put into a copper vat and boiled

for an hour or longer. Boiling it causes

excess water to evaporate and the liquid

ends up with a syrupy texture and a

concentrated sweetness.

hopping Hops (a flower cone from the

hop plant that looks like a green pinecone)

are added to balance the liquids sweetness

and bitterness and to bring out the aroma.

Some breweries add another step to the

process: They move this hopped wort to

an airtight vat filled with fresh hops called

a hop back. This enhances flavor and

aroma and doesnt let them escape, helping

make the beer taste even more complex.

fermenting Once the hopped wort has

cooled, yeast is added, which creates

bubbles and turns it into alcohol (aka beer).

Fermenting can be done a couple of times

and takes anywhere from weeks to months.

what are the most

popular beers?

Beers are generally categorized in two

types based on how theyre fermented:ale This kind of beer goes through the

fermentation process at higher tempera-

tures (65 to 75 degrees) than lager because

brewers use a type of yeast that floats at

the top of the tank and produces a foam.

Ales have a quick brewing processwhile

they can be aged, theyre often ready to

bottle within a month.

Ales are full-bodied, sweet and fruity

with a typically stronger, more bitter hop

flavor than lagers. Pale, red, brown (like

English ale) and stout (which can taste like

coffee, chocolate or, yep, even oatmeal)

are just a few varieties in the ale family,

which all have distinct flavors and colors.

lager Fermented at lower temperatures

(46 to 55 degrees) than ale, lagers use a

slower-acting type of yeast that settles at

the bottom of the tank, giving it a smooth,

mellow flavor. Lager is the German word

for storage, and the brew needs to age

in this cool environment for a few months.

The darker the lager (determined by how

long its malted grain was roasted), the

more complex its flavor will be. Pale lager

originated in Germany and has become

one of the most popular beers in the world.

Amber lager is a North American variety

with a strong, malty taste.

pairing food and wine

can get complicatedis it

the same for beer?

Not at all! The one rule of beer and foodpairing is refreshingly simple: Lighter beers

call for lighter foods (grilled fish, chicken,

salad) and darker beers complement richer

foods (red meat, cheeses, even chocolate).

So what are you supposed to drink when

youre at a bar or cocktail party after work

and there are no real snack options in sight?

Follow this mantra: When you sip sans

food, keep it light. Even if you like the taste

and richness of traditionally heavier beers,

drinking em alone is a meal in itself and

you may feel instant beer bloat by the

time you slide off your bar stool. >

step 1Tip the glass at

a 45-degree angle; then

begin pouring your beer of

choice. Aim the liquid toward the

middle slope inside the glass.

pour like a proEven if youre drinking from a plastic cup, youll getbetter-tasting beer with a proper pour. Heres how:

step 2As the glass

fills from one-half

to two-thirds full,

slowly tip the glass upright and

pour the rest into the center.

Youll get a thick foam or head

on the beer, which enhances

the look, aroma and flavor.

step 3While you pour

the last drops, make

sure the head begins

an inch (at most) below the top of

the glass. Pour slow and steady

trips for twoEscape to one of these dream destinations, from an idyllic beach paradise

to a far-flung getaway for adventure-seekers. By Nncy Rones

kauai, hawaii

Why Go On Kauai, you can scope out

towering waterfalls, rugged cliffs, traditional

towns and 50 miles of stellar beaches.Where to StayNo worries if youre

not great at sharing your patch of sand:

The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa has

its own private 200-yard beach. Play in the

ocean or float around in the sand-bottom,

saltwater lagoon; honeymooners get a

complimentary waterside cabana for a day

(from $440, Kauai.Hyatt.com).

What to DoWitness the monumental cliffs

jutting off the Na Pali Coast on a boat tour.

Trot past secluded beaches on horseback.

Why GoSouthern hospitality is

very much alive in this vibrant city that

delightfully struts its historical past

(think: antebellum mansions, plantations

and culinary institutions).

Where to Stay Low-Country charm is

off the charts at the elegant Planters Inn.

The four-poster beds, nightly turndowns

(with chocolate), free coffee and tea service

in the parlor and super-gracious staff are

all proof (from $239, PlantersInn.com ).

What to DoTake a private horse and

carriage ride around the historic district

or, better yet, tour Boone Hall Plantation

(where Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

wed). Dont forget to snap a few photos

by the amazing live oaks dripping with

Spanish moss (BooneHallPlantation.com). >

mrida, mexico

Why GoGet an authentic feel for Mexico

in this colonial-meets-cosmopolitan city on

the Yucatn Peninsula (about a four-hour

drive from Cancn), where many haciendas

and colonial houses have been transformed

into affordable hotels. A bonus: Beaches

and Mayan ruins are still within reach too.

Where to StayAt Casa Lecanda, youll

sleep in a restored Yucatecan home that

has many traditional details, such as clay-

tile floors, along with modern comforts

(hello, walk-in rain shower). Unwind at the

Wine & Tequila Bar (from $200, including

breakfast, CasaLecanda.com).

What to DoPut your cooking skills

to the test and take a class at Yucatecan

cooking school Los Dos (Los-Dos.com).

Looking for an adventure? Take a tour of

the extraordinary Mayan ruins in Uxmal

just be sure to bring the sunscreen!
