20 Cutest Cat Breeds You'll Want to Pet Immediately

Did your cat make the list? From extra-long to super fluffy, cats come in so many shapes and sizes. And no, we don’t just mean when they're loafing or squeezing into impossibly tight spaces! And while all cats are good cats, much like dog breeds, some felines are just off the charts on the cuteness scale. Now, we know each owner thinks their kitten is out-of-this-world adorable, but if you're wanting a pet that has a distinctive look — whether that's a sweet squished face, piercing eyes or a seriously curly coat — these are the cutest cat breeds around. You'll find common cats, like the Maine Coon, as well as rare breeds, such as the Bengal. Of course, looks are just one thing to consider when adopting a cat. Social skills, age, grooming needs and veterinary care should be at the top of your list. A cat can live up to 18 years (or longer!), so it's important to make sure you're ready for the commitment before picking up one of these cuties.

7 Paint Colors That Make a House Sell for More Money

Forget the all-white kitchen. It’s one of the golden rules of real estate: Paint your walls white before your home hits the market so buyers can imagine a blank canvas. But the most recent paint study from a major real estate site shows that, on the contrary, adding rich, moody hues to your home can help you drive up the sale price. According to Zillow’s paint color analysis, buyers pay, on average, $2,512 more for a house with a kitchen painted in charcoal gray, while a dark gray living room can net sellers $1,755 more. In 2024, color—particularly bold, dramatic, statement-making color—remains a top priority, Amanda Pendleton, home trends expert at Zillow, says. “All-white walls are not only falling out of fashion but can even hurt a home’s value,” she says. She expects to see more homeowners take color risks in 2024 and increasingly see those risks pay off when it’s time to sell. Designers say the study rings true to their experience. “The moody work of designers like Jake Arnold, Amber Interiors, and Heidi Callier has been dominating Pinterest, so it’s no wonder homeowners are emulating the cozy styles and searching them out when they go to purchase a new home,” Bethany Adams, principal of her eponymous design firm in Louisville, Kentucky, says. “Whether dark gray, green, blue, or another deep color with neutral undertones, these spaces are incredibly evocative and easy to imagine oneself in.” The Problem With White Paint Colors By contrast, the Zillow study shows that a white kitchen is losing ground and can actually cause a buyer’s offer to drop by more than $600. That may be because a blank canvas can sometimes read as boring and basic. “When staging a home for sale, most guides will tell you to simply paint everything white, but luxury home buyers are looking for turnkey properties that look and feel designed, not institutional,” Jason Saft, founder of Staged To Sell Home, a staging service in New York, says. “People strive to have the perfect backdrop at home.” That doesn’t mean that you can't have a single white wall. Houston designer Benjamin Johnston says, “White walls will never go out of style. They lend a beautiful foundation to introduce color through decor, furniture, and art.” But he agrees that rich hues can boost a sale price, explaining, “That being said, social media and the ease with which others can now showcase their homes can cause a bit of design FOMO. People see others experimenting with color, pattern, and wallpaper, and want to try it themselves. There’s now just an abundance of color and creativity to explore.” The penchant for dark, rich colors certainly comes from exposure to mood boards and projects seen on social media, but it connects with us on a deeper level. “Human beings have an innate desire for belonging,” Mehnaz Khan, a color psychology specialist and principal at Color Conscious Living in Albany, New York, says. “And if you have a house that has the same interior colors as a favorite influencer, that creates a sense of belonging and community. That’s why people follow trends.” Also, Khan points out, no one wants a boring home. On a subconscious level, the beiges of the aughts create an illusion that “the house is stuck, and nobody wants to spend their life savings on a house that needs work,” Khan says. Where to Focus Your Budget When Repainting Ahead of summer, a busy time for home buying, Zillow’s latest Market Heat Index shows that nationally the market is turning neutral, though sellers still have a slight upper hand. Just keep in mind that all real estate is local. Some metro areas are tilted strongly in favor of buyers, while others favor sellers. It all depends on demand and how many homes are listed for sale in your area. Regardless of whether you’re in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, certain homes that have desirable features and are up-to-date and move-in ready can still sell faster and for money, Pendleton says. “The right paint colors can deliver a powerful visual signal to a buyer that a home is well maintained and contemporary, while the wrong paint colors can create the opposite impression,” she adds. Zillow research finds that painting a home’s common spaces has the greatest impact on resale value. “Homeowners will get the biggest bang for their buck if they’re strategic about the colors they select in their kitchen and living room,” Pendleton says.

Hallmark's Annual "Christmas in July" Event Is Back With 5 New Movies for 2024

It's time to embrace the holiday season a bit early! 🎄 As the start of summer brings sweltering heat that encourages staying in with the AC and a good movie on, Hallmark is here to bring the chill in a way fans will absolutely love. The network is getting ready to embrace one of their biggest times of the year, and it's coming quite a few months earlier than expected. We're talking about Hallmark's annual "Christmas in July"event. The TV network is celebrating the holiday season ahead of winter, with five movies airing Saturday nights throughout the month of July. Each film invokes the spirit of Christmas, whether by revisiting old favorites like Three Wise Men and a Baby or exploring new stories with heartfelt happy endings. If that wasn't enough, this epic lineup will have everyone ready for Hallmark's annual "Countdown to Christmas" event, which we already know is going to be memorable with Lacey Chabert and When Calls the Heart star Erin Krakow involved. So, grab some hot cocoa (or make frozen hot chocolate!) and get ready to turn on Hallmark, because there are new movies to enjoy. How to watch Hallmark's Christmas in July movies: Fans can tune in to Hallmark every Saturday starting June 29 at 8 p.m. ET to watch all the holiday-inspired films. If you don't have cable TV but still want to watch the "Christmas in July" movies in real-time, there are streaming sites that offer a live component. Sling, Philo, FuboTV and YouTube TV are all great options to choose from, but you'll want to create profiles for the sites ahead of the premieres. If you want to wait until you can watch Hallmark's "Christmas in July" movies on your own time, Peacock will have them all available to stream the day after they air on TV. The site has plans that start at $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, and once you have an account, go to the Hallmark hub on the Peacock website or on the Peacock app. RELATED: Hallmark Fans "Can't Believe" Lacey Chabert's Incredible Movie News
