“Everything I like is in this punch! I had HB’s 120th anniversary in mind when I created it. Persimmon has been an autumn favorite in America since the 1800s, and nothing says ‘party!’ like punch. Plus, it’s easy because guests help themselves. Make it extra pretty by adding cranberry and rosemary– filled ice cubes, and top with dehydrated persimmon slices—they look like little flowers!” PERSIMMON PUNCH Serves 6 to 8 9 oz. dry gin, such as Ransom Spirits 5 oz. persimmon syrup (see recipe below) 6 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice 1 bottle dry sparkling rosé I like all ingredients very cold, so combine the gin, persimmon syrup, and lime juice in a pitcher and place in the refrigerator; keep the bottle of sparkling rosé refrigerated separately. When ready to…

“My fellow designers might not be too happy with me, but I’m going to reveal a professional secret about blue-andwhite rooms: The truth is that they’re impossible to mess up. I could close my eyes, shuffle a fan deck of blue paints, pull one out at random and—ta-da!—it’s guaranteed to be fabulous. Combined with white, it’s a sure thing. “I needed that kind of foolproof palette for this new-construction home because there were definitely challenges along the way. The homeowners, Amy and Steven Wacaster, were relocating from New York City to the east coast of Florida. She envisioned a chic, relaxed home reminiscent of the Hamptons, where the family had vacationed. Amy, who’s really knowledgeable about design, stressed that she loves blue and hoped to incorporate some existing traditional pieces…

What is it about blue and white? Ever since House Beautiful began publishing in color, the cyan printing-press plate responsible for the range of vivid blues on our pages has gotten quite the workout. And no wonder: Readers consistently rank blue as their favorite hue and know that, when coupled with white at home, it simply sings. The pairing is freshly American, calling to mind white stars on a crisp field of cobalt. And it’s the life force of a globe’s worth of design classics too, from Ming dynasty vases to Moroccan tiles. At worst, it’s simply agreeable. At best, it’s universal. And at the very least, it’s here to stay. In honor of our 120th anniversary, we asked two of our favorite talents—photographer and textile artist Martyn Thompson and…

CRAIG KELLOGG: This home feels absolutely up-tothe-minute. Is it brand-new? AMY LAU: Not at all. It’s a four-bedroom Shingle Style house, the kind that’s pretty typical of its location in Water Mill on Long Island, New York. The couple—she’s in real estate and he’s in finance—had rented it for years before buying it because they loved the setting. When I arrived from the city, I got that immediately. It’s surrounded by coastal wilderness and shorebirds. But the architecture was way too old-fashioned for them, and the divided-pane windows blocked the beautiful view of Mecox Bay. We replaced them with plain double-hungs and big, uninterrupted walls of glass. The decorating also did an about-face. Did you have to push the clients? I didn’t. A few years ago I designed her apartment…

MIMI READ: Stately elegance is your calling card, but this feels more frolicsome. MARSHALL WATSON: It’s a reflection of the homeowners, a family of seven exuberant Midwesterners. They love water sports and playing games like Parcheesi and Clue. It’s also the spirit of the place: This house is on an islet that is a true tropical escape. Can you pinpoint it for me? It’s on Guana Cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. The beach is like pink sugar. There are enormous turtles in the water—even bigger than the carved chestnut one we hung from the living room ceiling. Blue and white is a classic beach-house palette. Why did you zero in on turquoise? I love color as a sense of place. The turquoise sea and fluffy white clouds…

Mark D. Sikes was nine years old when he realized blue was his favorite color. “My first bedroom was navy,” the California designer says. “When we moved, my parents let me decorate my room. I chose chocolate brown and quickly realized I’d made a mistake. I told my mom, ‘I hate this! I want blue again!’” Since then, Sikes has been true to blue and its signature partner, white. (Even his wardrobe reflects an affinity for it.) A former fashion merchandiser, Sikes and his interiors first made a splash in 2012 when House Beautiful ran a cover story on his Los Angeles home. Four years later, the social media–savvy designer is in demand for his classic yet footloose style. This family house in Beverly Hills is quintessential Sikes: Blue and…
