SIP, SIP, HOORAY! • Nothing says you’re hosting a top-shelf soiree like stylish barware. Swapping everyday tumblers for footed goblets, handblown flutes, buxom brandy snifters, and dainty coupes will instantly put guests in high spirits, no matter what you’re pouring. But if the thought of a midnight hand-washing session gives you pause, you don’t have to go it alone—there’s help. The Thermador Glass Care Center is as passionate about cut-crystal finery as you are. Designed to gently clean delicate glassware, it should inspire you to bring out the celebratory stems and oversize beer steins any day of the week. Cheers to that!

Next Month: Fall Style

CHALKBOARD • This autumn, we’re ready to wipe the slate clean. Our new backdrop of choice: A smoky, muted viridian that’ll have you waxing nostalgic for woolly sweaters, crunchy leaves, and just-sharpened No. 2 pencils.

Chalkboard

Entrance Poll • Whether it’s corralling keys and coats, welcoming guests, or providing respite at day’s end, the foyer is one of the most put-upon spaces in your home. So show it some TLC! We love how a statement-making front door in chalky green—it’s Sherwin-Williams Grandview here—adds punch to neutral walls and classic black-and-white floors, while abundant baskets of plants ensure an “ahh” moment on even the busiest of mornings.
