It makes people talk.” The influential Manhattan interior decorator was known for her exuberant use of color and pattern, such as bold, black-and-white checkerboard, hot pink and crimson, lime green and blue. In her hands, stuffy chintz became flirty and vivacious. That cheeky sense of fun is all over home decor these days, a counterpoint to the serenity of minimalism and neutral palettes. New York-based designer, potter and author Jonathan Adler is known for playful accessories, like ceramic trinket trays in the shape of pouty lips or pill capsules, and storage jars printed with imagery that references mind-expanding This photo provided by designer Maureen Stevens shows a table in her project in the Seaholm district of Austin, Texas.

There’s sex appeal, but it’s infused with tasteful, thoughtful curation. “I love a room of storytellers,” she says. “Pieces that act as little mementos, curiosities and artifacts.” At last spring’s Shoppe Object show in New York, designer Helene Ige of Los Angeles displayed a fanciful pillow collection that transected pop culture and traditional pattern, with foil-printed unicorns and saucy phrases on tapestry and toile backgrounds. Crown Objet has also played with textiles, creating silk pillows printed with alien heads and skulls. Furniture with a soft, sumptuous feel — think velvet, chenille, buttery leather — is a good way to introduce sensual elements. Metals can be highly polished to dance the light around the room, or burnished to give the room warmth. Glass or mirrored pieces add glamour. You’ll find well-priced velvet seating at Article, as well as a temptingly cool, apple-shaped, wire floor lamp. Jenn-Air has disrupted the traditional high-end kitchen- gear market with a new collection called “Bound by Nothing.” The appliances are tricked out with Italian leather covers and trims, etched and tooled hardware, and deep, rich hues. “Our inspiration came from fashion, furniture and jewelry, and from art, music and travel,” says Jessica McConnell, senior design manager at parent company Whirlpool. “Having free rein to push boundaries was quite freeing for us as designers. We stopped thinking about the way it ‘should’ be done and instead about the possibilities.” Jenn-Air’s “Cuts” line features smooth or croc-embossed, leather-front, column refrigerators in colors like cognac and caviar. “Smoke & Brass” ranges have a lovely patina, and anodized-brass and knurled-steel hardware. “Burlesque” fridges put the color and embossing in the interior, and then This photo provided by designer Maureen Stevens shows bar stools in her project in the Seaholm district of Austin, Texas. trim the whole thing with sensual LED lighting.

Her plan is to hold a very small (with about 10 people) private ceremony, to be followed by a reception with about 150 people. My question is: Is this proper? All the guests are coming from On The Tube out of state. Shouldn’t all the guests be invited to the ceremony? I don’t feel it’s my place to tell the bride-to-be what I think, but I’m disappointed. I always look forward to the actual wedding ceremony more than the reception. Is that just me? -- Confused Guest-to-Be Dear Confused: Yes, you’re right that typically, everyone would be invited to the ceremony. If anything, I’ve seen more weddings where the reverse is done -- where more people are free to come to the ceremony than the reception because of budget constraints. (How generous of this couple to want to include everyone in the free dinner and drinks part!) For whatever reason, the bride and groom want to keep the ceremony private. It might not be the traditional choice, but it’s their choice.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Baggage prices take flight Dear Heloise: The cost of air travel keeps rising. Airlines have increased BAGGAGE FEES, which we understand is a profitable source of revenue for the airlines. We already pay for seat selection, snacks, drinks, blankets, pillows and Wi-Fi. Why are we being asked to pay more for baggage? -- Alma and Ken W. in Los Angeles Alma and Ken, I looked into this, and yes, there is an increase in the baggage fees. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the airlines collected approximately $2.4 billion in baggage fees in the first half of 2018, but apparently this was not enough to offset the cost of fuel price increases. With the ever- increasing cost of air travel, maybe a road trip is in order. -- Heloise IF YOU’RE TRAVELING ABROAD Dear Heloise: As a travel agent, I’ve seen and heard mistakes made by travelers that ruined their trip when they traveled abroad. Here are a few hints to help them: * Don’t skip the car insurance when renting in a foreign country. If you’re in an accident, take photos of all damages or injuries. * Don’t pay with large bills. Use smaller bills and coins in the country’s currency, which avoids the “I don’t have change” scam. * Do obey the laws of the country you’re visiting. * Do make copies of your passport, insurance policy, traveler’s checks and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in your luggage This image released by Netflix shows Sandra Bullock in a scene from the film, “Bird Box.” Netflix’s post-apocalyptic and leave one copy with someone at home. survival film is drawing criticism for using footage of a real fiery train disaster but the streaming giant has no plans to * Do stay in touch with family and friends back home, and remove it.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 18, 2019: This year could prove to be quite exciting and inspiring. You can make nearly anything happen. If you are single, stay relaxed when interacting with potential sweeties. You are about to enter a fairly romantic period in the next year. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy life together, especially if you’re away from home. Focus on giving DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker your sweetie what he or she needs. CANCER gets emotional if challenged.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You want to be discreet, but you might share a lot more than you had intended to. Understand that your emotions could be out of control. You probably don’t have the same view- point as another person, and that’s OK. The unexpected occurs. Tonight: Get into Friday night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) SCARY GARY Mark Buford HHH You might be juggling a lot of different concerns, which could be affecting you financially. Have a discussion with a loved one who can give you good advice about how to prioritize. You could be stunned by someone else’s sudden response. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Remain as direct as possible when dealing with others. You can use your light, chatty nature to make a talk easier. Do not react to a family member who can be quite difficult at times. A friend could reverse course on you at the last Crosswords minute. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni HH You might not be content with what’s going on around you. Pull inward or work from home. The less said, the better. Confusion sur- rounds you and a partnership. Stay neutral. News from a distance might not be accurate or clear. Ask questions. Tonight: Where great music is played. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Zero in on what could happen if the conversations between you and another person happen to be too revealing or intimate. Be more discreet and open in your dealings. The unexpected occurs with someone at a distance. You might even have a surprise visitor. Tonight: On a roll. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart HHHH You could feel pushed by a boss or higher-up to perform to your max. You might feel a bit uncomfortable with so much tension building. A partner could surprise you with the unexpected. Your feelings could go up and down quickly. Tonight: Out and about among the crowds. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Take an overview, if you can. You have the ability to read between the lines with others. You also feel as if someone is not telling you the complete story. Evaluate what was left out. You could find a close loved one to be unpredictable. Tonight: Opt for something fun. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHH You discover how unstable a close associate might be. You could have difficulty gain- ing a perspective of what’s going on. Listen as carefully as you can to a key conversation. Rearrange your schedule to make time for this. Tonight: Try a new sport or happening, and you’ll feel great. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others act as if they are in control. You understand that, in reality, they can control only themselves. Excitement stems from a major hobby or budding interest. You discover how unpredictable this area of your life might be. Embrace the unknown. Tonight: Dinner for two. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You will accomplish a lot if you can stay focused. You will fall out of the rhythm later in the day, when you feel the weekend coming on. You will want to lighten up or network with several people. This change in your disposi- tion is normal. Tonight: Let others call the shots. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your playfulness emerges and allows you to end the workweek in style. You seem to be able to help others let go of problems that might besiege them. Being more available Cryptoquip allows greater exchanges with friends and loved ones. People continue to seek you out. Tonight: TGIF! ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Stay close to home, or work from home today. You need to relax and let go as you rarely do. Your sense of humor helps you bypass a difficult situation. Laughter breeds laughter, which lightens up the moment. Clear your mind before the weekend. Tonight: Be as discreet as possible.
