"Charm was the operative word as Jennifer Markanich created a multifunctional mudroom, which serves as a back entry from the garage. A utility sink skirted with a yellow, cream, and gray paisley fabric carries the charm banner, but it's super functional as well. A wide drainboard makes it a good work surface when loading laundry into the nearby washer and dryer. Shelves above the sink are stocked with vases, simplifying flower arranging. And for a fun twist on traditional, the designer covered a modern Philippe Starck 'Ghost Chair' in paisley fabric."

"I painted the room lilac, another one of those non-colors. The curtains are all oyster-colored Belgian linen. And we dressed up her vanity by lacquering the mirror and skirting the table with a royal blue and white taffeta stripe that goes truly beautifully with that lilac. This is not your classic blue and white room. It's sweet and understated."

"If you have a small kitchen and entertain frequently, set up a small table away from the kitchen. In her home's entryway, [Melanie] Pounds chose a skirted console table to display books and flowers for everyday use. When she entertains. she uses it as a bar or serving table. 'There's less congestion in the galley kitchen and dining room. It saved us!' "
