EDITOR’S LETTER While looking over the stories for this summer issue, I thought about the importance of memory in our domestic lives. If you’re like me, you—consciously or not— imbue your decorating, your cooking, and even your gardening with objects, recipes, and plants you associate with friends and family. Like Easter eggs in a movie (a term for some hidden detail placed in a scene by the director), these pieces may not be meaningful to the casual observer, but it makes me happy to know they’re there. For decades, I’ve carried certain objects mementos from home to home almost as talismans—a Navajo vase my dad bought on his first trip out of Texas in the 1930s, a ceramic rooster my mom kept on top of the fridge when I was a kid, a tiny brass swan I used to play with in our family living room (that formal space where no one ever sat except to play the piano). In the garden, I plant varieties that remind me of gardening with my dad. I love the old-fashioned shrubs we had, like bridal wreath (Spiraea × vanhouttei) with its frothy arched branches of white flowers and the single-petaled rose ‘Betty Prior’. In the kitchen, I fry okra (actually, now I convection-bake it) thinking of my West Texas grandmother and shell black-eyes thinking of what once was a midsummer chore. My trip down memory lane started with our feature on the home of Christine Joy Llewellyn Ohemeng (page 98), who filled her house with treasures that remind her of souvenirs her mother brought back from trips to Africa and Asia while working for the United Nations. Alana Kysar writes about her childhood love of butter mochi (page 84), a coconut-custard, sticky rice cake popular in Hawai’i that sounds like stiff competition for my potluck favorite, lemon bars. UK native Barry Jordan designed his Upstate New York property with the romantic looseness of English gardens in mind (page 92). Memory is a powerful thing—I almost said “emotion,” but it’s not really that. Memories are a conduit for intense feelings, however sweet or bittersweet. And collecting can go overboard PHOTO: MELANIE ACEVEDO/SARAH LAIRD for some people who are unable to part with any objects to which they’ve attached emotions. As with most things, it’s a balance. What memories do we want to keep and STEPHEN ORR, cherish? And which ones do we want to leave behind so we can move on? I guess that’s the equation of life.

Why? In summer humidity, “our hair typically swells more because it is seeking moisture from the air around it, which causes frizz,” explains Unilever stylist and celebrity hair artist Lacy Redway. The best defense is providing that moisture ahead of time with a summer routine that infuses hydration in every step. Read on. IS YOUR HAIR GRAY GONE PROCESSED?

THE ANATOMY OF FRIZZ The outer layer of hair, known as the cuticle, looks something like shingles on a roof. When those “shingles” are lifted (as they are when hair tries to take in moisture), they create the halo of tiny hair fibers we call frizz. When hair is well-hydrated, the cuticle lies flat so hair looks smooth and shiny. That difference explains why curly, gray, or damaged hair is more prone to experiencing it. “These hair types tend to suffer from dryness, which activates the frizz,” Redway says. 18 | July/August 2022 BY DEANNA PAI ILLUSTRATIONS LAMONT O’NEAL

o ne cool thing about color teal: It always feels serene, whether WA L L pale or deep, or even SIMILAR TO when it’s used to make a big splash. OCEAN ABYSS “It looks both fresh and timeless,” says Bonnie Hindmarsh, cofounder MQ6-01 and creative director of Three BEHR Birds Renovations, who chose Dulux paint (not sold in the U.S.) in Frontier for this accent wall in her guest cottage, right. Here’s how to color your space with this watery hue. BAL ANC E IT OUT Ground teal with swaths of crisp white and black, like the chandelier and artwork. ADD NATURE Rattan, wood, and woven textiles soften this hue with their natural warmth and texture. GO DE E P Teal can go dark without feeling claustrophobic thanks to its rich undertones, which add depth. TONE IT DOWN Worried your space will be too bold? Stick to teal that’s a bit dusty. “When in doubt, gray it out,” says interior designer Ashley Sharpe, who used a muted teal to frame patterned tile, below. ■ PHOTOS: (COTTAGE ROOM) COURTESY OF THREE BIRDS RENOVATIONS, (BATHROOM) CARMEL BRANTLEY Contorno Pillow Cover in Air Force Blue (linen), $65 (24\"×14\"); oka.com/us Decor Therapy Cannon Teal 3-Way Table Lamp (linen shade), $67; lowes.com Chalky teal BHG Collection Open Liam trim tones down Teal Garden Blossoms Bookcase in Teal Area Rug, $80 (5'×7'); (pine wood), $166; the intensity of a graphic tile walmart.com/BHG safavieh.com and keeps it from feeling overpowering.

decorating for the dogs Living with pets can be messy, but one interior designer wouldn’t consider living without them. Discover how she creates high-style, dog-friendly rooms.

They Giant dog can’t pass breeds up a cute toy at the pet store, they host shouldn’t eat puppy play dates and off the floor parties, and their because it can phones are filled with strain their selfies that include their dogs. Then there’s backs. Tyler Karu, whose devotion to dogs has never wavered, even after the family pet bit off her lip when she was 8 and she had to endure plastic surgery. “It was a fairly traumatic experience, but I love dogs nonetheless,” she says. “I just gained an appreciation of boundaries.” An interior designer in Maine, Tyler finds her lifelong love aids her when she is planning spaces to share with her dogs. In her previous home (shown here), that task involved choosing furnishings and surfaces to accommodate a pack: Haddock, a Brussels griffon; Winnie Cooper, a Great Dane; and Clyde, a Great Dane and Saint Bernard mix. She shares her best function-with- style tricks. n DOU BLE- DUT Y BE NC H Tyler Karu designed a mudroom bench with holes for dog bowls. It’s 16 inches high—good for humans putting on shoes. Bench supports hide shoes and baskets of dog gear. n DUR ABLE RUGS When you have dogs, “you actually can invest in nice rugs,” Tyler says. She suggests one with a pattern and a low, tightly woven pile and has found that wool options, like Persian rugs and antique kilims, are a good choice when it comes to removing stains. 28 | July/August 2022 BY KIT SELZER PHOTOS ERIN LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY

TYLER KARU ARRANGEMENT An easy-to-move swivel chair replaces the dog bed in the living room when guests come over. n FORGIVING FABRIC For the seating where the dogs are most likely to lounge (whether they should or not), Tyler recommends Crypton, a durable, easy-clean upholstery fabric. She chose a midtone neutral to keep light and dark dog hairs from being too noticeable. n SURFACE DISGUISE “Great Danes are drool machines,” Tyler says. She’s found that a walnut finish hides slobber residue on kitchen cabinets between frequent wipe-downs. 30 | July/August 2022
