WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Vanessa WilliamsThe actress, 49, stars in 666 Park Avenue (Sundays), ABC’s spooky drama about the residents of an ominous luxury apartment building in New York City.

Are you a fan of the supernatural genre? I love a good thriller! I grew up in the ’70s, which were the heyday of iconic supernatural fi lms like The Omen and The Exorcist.Have you ever had a real-life paranormal experience? My house in New York was built in 1905, and there’s certainly been unexplained things that have made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, like lights going on and off.What do you enjoy about playing high-powered divas, like

your characters on Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives?

It’s one of those alter ego things for me. It just seems natural. It’s easy to switch into that mode of being some-one who has no tolerance for mediocrity!

PARADEQ: How does CNN’s

Candy Crowley feel about

being the fi rst woman

in 20 years to moderate

a presidential debate?

—Caroline Platt, Irvine, Calif.

A: “My fi rst thought was, ‘What an incred-ible opportunity.’ Being a female did not cross my mind,” says Crowley, 63, who will chair the second debate, on Oct. 16. “But I will love it if young women come away thinking, ‘I can do any-thing.’ ” The last woman to moderate a presidential debate was former ABC News anchor Carole Simpson in 1992.

NATE’S

FOR LIFE

enthusiasm, Midwestern modesty (he grew up mostly in Minneapolis), and lack of pre-tension are all evinced in his No. 1 tip for improving home decor: “Clean your house, people. It costs nothing!” After gaining fame on Oprah (for his fi rst appearance, in 2002, he did a makeover on a 319-square-foot studio apartment), he was host of his own syndicated TV program (its two-year run ended recently); wrote a best seller, Home Rules: Transform the Place You Live Into a Place You’ll Love (his new book, The Things That Matter, will be published next week); and created several signature lines of home products, the latest of which launches at Target on Oct. 21.

Berkus recently sat down with PARADE

in Manhattan, but only after carefully folding several sweaters and shirts he had brought with him to the photo shoot. “I used to work at the Gap; I know how to fold,” he says, before chatting

nate berkus is about

to make a big, defi ning pronouncement. Ready? “The living room is obsolete,” proclaims the 41-year-old interior designer, who became a household name through dozens of appearances on Oprah.

You there—yes, you, reading this story while lounging on a couch in your living room—are you now feeling totally confused?

That is not Berkus’s intent. He means that the notion of the living room as a formal space reserved for occasional

entertaining is outdated. Living rooms should be used for living. “We want to read there, to eat there, to entertain, to play games on the fl oor,” he says. “I don’t believe in having spaces in the home that don’t get used. We pay so much for square footage that to waste it is criminal.”

In fact, he would go further than that: “Take those shackles off in terms of the designated names for your spaces,” he says. “Look at how you like to live instead.” In other words, while the builder’s fl oor plan may call it a living room, you don’t have to furnish and decorate it as such.

Knowing how people like to live has made Berkus one of America’s most popular home design experts over the past decade. His boyish

Also making our homes more user-friendly is technol-ogy. Berkus says someone from 50 years ago walking through an American home today would marvel at our big-screen TVs, sophisticated music systems, automatically temperature-controlled rooms, and multiple computers and devices. In the not-too-distant future, this technology will be used to track our tastes even more closely, he adds. “Com-puters will register when our eyes land on a TV ad and send us messages via our phones that say, ‘You seem to have liked that lamp. It’s on sale, and you’re pulling into the parking lot right now, so check it out.’ That scares me a bit.”

But in our rush to embrace the new, Berkus fears we are leaving the old behind. He advocates mixing the two, furnishing our homes with a judicious blend of vintage pieces, found objects, and treasures that have been passed down through family members or acquired during travels, along with the new stuff we buy because it’s use-ful and we love or need it. “Everywhere your eye travels in your home, it should land on something that resonates with you,” he says.

One thing that resonates personally with Berkus is a large tortoise shell that his mother, Nancy Golden, an interior designer who now creates leather jewelry, brought home to Minneapolis from her 1974 honeymoon in Mexico with Berkus’s stepfather. When the newlyweds noticed a pile of discarded shells

19-by-15-inch lacquered faux tortoise shell (selling for $40 and available in green, yellow, and cream). “It personifi es everything I love about design and creating new things,” he says. “You can take something that’s iconic and natural and has a pattern that’s instantly recognizable and put it out there in a new way. I could see a row of them along a wall.”

Berkus was interested in design early, bringing home treasures he found at garage sales; when he was a teenager, he obsessively rearranged the furniture and possessions in his basement bedroom. “That was my design lab,” he says. At the ripe old age of 24, he opened his own design fi rm, Nate Berkus Associates; seven years later, he got the call to do Oprah after meeting one of her producers at a social event.

Today, Berkus lives in Man-hattan but frequently visits Chicago, where his design fi rm is still based. In addi-tion to the Target collection, he’s nurturing a new movie project (he was a producer on The Help, a venture he joined early thanks to his friend-ship with novelist Kathryn Stockett and writer-director Tate Taylor). But fi rst he has his new book, The Things That Matter, to promote. “I wanted to provide people with a new way of thinking about decora-tion: How can we get back to personalizing our spaces?” he says. “I was seeing too many homes

easily about home design and how it affects the way we live today.

“A universal priority for Americans is to be comfort-able,” he says, noting that our homes have become progres-sively more casual over the past half-century, both in layout and in furnishings. Walls have come down between kitchens and family rooms; sofas and chairs are no longer rigidly straight-backed and hard-seated. That’s all good, he says. “When your space really func-tions for you, your life is easier.”

behind a restaurant that served turtle soup, Golden requested one, taking it home on the plane with her. To this day, it hangs above the fi replace in the family room of Berkus’s childhood home. (He recalls with horror, however, that his mom neglected to fumigate it fi rst. “The house was infested,” he says, “[with] whatever was living in it. So disgusting.”)

Berkus used that souvenir as inspiration for a key piece in his Target collection, a

SPRUCE-UPS

FOR YOUR HOME

“The simplest is to clean your house! You can’t have a beautifully

designed space if you can’t see the furniture and surfaces in your home.”

“I’m not going to say paint is an easy spruce-up. It takes time, it

needs touch-ups, and you have to be very methodical. But it is worth it, and it isn’t particularly expensive.”

“There’s something I call Moving Day, which I’ve done for

the last 20 years. Look at everything in your home, then think about how you could combine things in a different way. Maybe you break up your night tables and use one in the family room; maybe the dining room sideboard becomes a console table for your television, with storage underneath. Move around what you already own.”

More Tips From Nate Berkus

PERCENTAGE OF

RESPONDENTS WHO SAID

THE LOOK OF THEIR

HOME WAS “TRADITIONAL”

(Source: HomeGoods

Home Census 2010)

THE BIGGEST

DESIGN MISTAKE

“I see it every day: People trying to create a home that somebody else tells them they should have,” says Berkus. “I don’t care if it’s a magazine, a neighbor, or a bossy friend—when somebody says, ‘This is what’s elegant, this is what’s trendy,’ if it doesn’t represent you, you’re not going to be happy. Take a beat and say, ‘Is this something I want to live with, or am I just buying it be-cause I saw it on a TV show?’ ”

KITCHEN AND

BATHROOM RENOS

“They’re the most expensive rooms to renovate, but they provide the most resale value for the home,” Berkus says. “I never build in anything that can be considered a trend in those spaces. They used to tease me at the Oprah show, ‘Are you really going to do another white Shaker kitchen, with white subway tile and stainless steel appliances?’ And my answer is, ‘I can vary it a bit, but I’m never going to err from classic materi-als.’ When you can buy classic penny tile for 99 cents a sheet for your bathroom, it doesn’t make sense to spend $70 a square foot on hand-painted tile. If you want to experiment in those spaces, do so through paint and the color of towels and accessories.” >

that didn’t refl ect the people who lived in them.”

He also writes in the book about his life and offers photos of his duplex apart-ment in Greenwich Village. The most personal tale that Berkus, who is currently single and dating, tells is how he loved and lost Fernando Bengoechea, a photographer who died in the 2004 tsunami that hit parts of Asia and Africa. The couple had been vacation-ing in a remote village in Sri Lanka when the tsunami hit, waking them from sleep; they became separated

as the water swept them along. Berkus miraculously survived, but Bengoechea was never found. “It made me more able to embrace my vulnerability and care more about having true, legitimate connections to other people,” Berkus says quietly of the experience.

Today, two large photos that Bengoechea took of a Joshua tree hang in Berkus’s New York apartment. “I always want objects in my home that have a connec-tion to me or something I’ve loved, a place I’ve been or a memory that I have,” he says. “It’s still stuff, but it’s stuff that has meaning.”

ILU

Why does everything taste

better with salt? —Macon Craven,

Powhatan County, Va.

We have at least four tastes:

bitter, sweet, sour, and salty. (Savory—the basis of mono-sodium glutamate—may be a fi fth.) Only one refers to an essential dietary nutrient: salt. Without this mineral, humans cannot live. So it’s likely we’re hardwired to love it. Salt is so crucial that when people go on low-sodium diets, their intes-tines work harder to absorb sodium and their kidneys try to eliminate less. People who also take diuretics, which lower sodium levels, need to be mon-itored: If their blood sodium falls too low, seizures or a coma can result. Even people as healthy and fi t as marathoners can get into this kind of trouble when they sweat profusely and drink only plain water to replace fl uids during a race.

I was fortunate enough to at-tend the grand opening of the newEdenPURE® factory in North Can-ton, Ohio. The new plant broughthundreds of new jobs back to Ohioand reversed the common practiceof sending Midwest manufactur-ing jobs to China. Now, Eden-PURE® continues to ramp up pro-duction for the coming Winterwith exciting new models andhundreds of new employees as thisMade in America success storycontinues to grow.

With over 3 million portableheaters sold EdenPURE® is thebest selling portable infrared heat-ing system in North America .However, like any classic, Eden-PURE® has dozens of would-becompetitors who create Asiancopies at low prices using cheap,foreign labor. Don’t be fooled bythese imitations. Look for theEdenPURE® logo and the Made inNorth Canton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.

Now readers can save up to 49%($192 the largest savings ever onnew EdenPURE®s). EdenPURE®

is not just the best-selling portableheating system in North America.As an EdenPURE® owner I rankEdenPURE® #1 for quality, safetyand efficiency. And now is the per-fect time to save like never beforeon our expanded 2013 EdenPURE®

line made in our brand new NorthCanton, Ohio facility.

With two models EdenPURE®

can meet all of your heating re-quirements 365 days a year.

Stay Comfortable 365 Days aYear

“Never be cold again” is theEdenPURE® promise. EdenPURE®

provides you insurance against thecold all year long. Stay comfort-able on those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season. Ilive in California but believe me itgets cold at night. Keep your ex-pensive furnace turned down untilit’s absolutely necessary. And ifwe are fortunate enough to experi-ence a mild winter as many did inthe Midwest last year, you keepyour furnace off all season and saveeven bigger.

New, More Efficient ModelsThe engineers at EdenPURE®

listened to their millions of cus-tomers and somehow managed toimprove the #1 portable heater inNorth America. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity the newEdenPURE® line is more efficientto save you even more money.

T h e E d e n P U R E ® P e r s o n a lHeater now heats a larger area, anincrease from 350 square feet to500 square feet. That’s a 30% in-crease in efficiency! And Eden-

PURE® is proud to introduce the2013 Model 750. The new Model750 is perfect for larger areas andheats up to 750 square feet. But thebest thing about the Model 750 isthe price. We priced the Model750 at only $50 above the PersonalHeater. This means you receive a33% increase in performance foronly $50. That’s American engi-neering at its best!

The EdenPURE® can cut yourheating bills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and then startputting a great deal of extra moneyin your pocket after that.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major cause

of residential fires in the UnitedStates is carelessness and faultyportable heaters. The choice of fireand safety professionals like Cap-tain Mike Hornby, the EdenPURE®

has no exposed heating elementsthat can cause a fire. That’s whygrandparents and parents love theEdenPURE®.

The outside of the EdenPURE®

only gets warm to the touch so thatit will not burn children or pets.And your pet may be just like mydog who has reserved a favoritespot near the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses infraredheat. And just as pets enjoy bask-ing in a beam of sunlight they try tostay close to EdenPURE®’s “bone-warming” infrared heat.

The Secret is in the CopperEdenPURE ®’s EdenFLOW

technology uses copper heatingchambers to take the energy pro-vided by our special SYLVANIAbulbs and distribute our famoussoft heat evenly throughout theroom. Now our copper isn’t ordi-nary. It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobialcopper from an over 150 year oldAmerican owned company inPennsylvania. So your EdenPURE®

5True or false:

All postmenopausal

women should

take a daily iron

supplement.

Answer: False. A number

of recent studies have

questioned the wisdom

of taking a handful of

vitamins each day, and

a 2011 paper found that

older women who took

iron supplements had a

higher risk of death during

the study period than

those who did not. Anemia

can be a problem as you

age, but adding iron-rich

foods to your diet is better

than taking supplements,

in part because excess

iron may be toxic to

internal organs.

6True or false:

Chocoholics

tend to be

skinnier than

those who rarely indulge.

Answer: True. A 2012

study found that “people

who ate chocolate more

often actually weighed

less—even though they

didn’t exercise any more,”

says lead researcher

Beatrice Golomb, M.D.,

Ph.D. She theorizes that

nutrients in chocolate may

play a role in metabolism,

helping to offset weight

gain. “I say only half-jok-

ingly to my patients that

chocolate is my favorite

vegetable,” Golomb says.

show that if you fi nd a

workout fun, you’re far

more likely to stick with it.

2 Which fruit was

recently shown to

help keep women’s

brains young?

(a) Berries

(b) Pomegranates

(c) Apples

Answer: (a). Harvard

researchers studied

16,000 women and found

that subjects who regu-

larly ate blueberries and

strawberries had brains

that functioned as if

they were two and a half

years younger, relatively

speaking, than those of

non–berry eaters.

3Women’s happiness

in relationships is

most closely tied to:

(a) How well their

partner can sense when

they are upset

(b) How often their partner

compliments them

(c) How often their partner

prepares dinner

Answer: (a). Women rate

their relationship satisfac-

tion much higher when

their husband or partner

takes notice of their

negative moods, accord-

ing to research published

in the Journal of Family

Psychology. Conversely,

men feel greater satisfac-

tion when their wife or

partner lets them know

she is happy, the study’s

authors found.

4Breast cancer

survival rates

are better

for women who:

(a) Maintain a

healthy weight

(b) Get plenty of sleep

(c) Both (a) and (b)

Answer: (c). New fi ndings

show that women who

were overweight or

obese when diagnosed

had both higher recur-

rence and death rates,

possibly because heavy

women tend to have

elevated levels of the

same hormones that may

fuel tumor growth. And a

separate study discovered

that postmenopausal

women who get fewer

than six hours of sleep a

night may develop more

aggressive tumors.

1 Which is the best

step you can take to

improve your overall

health?

(a) Drastically cutting

down on salt

(b) Eating only organic

fruits and vegetables

(c) Playing a sport that

you love

Answer: (c). The latest

research has cast doubt

on the health benefi ts of

extreme sodium reduc-

tion and organic foods

(though organic tomatoes

sure do taste a lot better).

But there’s no question

that regular exercise

reduces the risk of heart
