Guillermo del Toro will gladly tell anyone who will listen that his movies are meant to be love letters to monsters. The Academy Award-winning director is happy to honor the rubber suited critters that light the fires of his imagination; he even turned his home, the Bleak House, into a cabinet of curiosities honoring them. But the idea of monstrosity that del Toro is obsessed with inverts H.P. Lovecraft's racist notion of "the Other." Del Toro's creatures may look or act horrific, but the director is deeply aware of the humanity and beauty they inspire.Del Toro's antagonists are often human, or, like Prince Nuada in "Hellboy II," beautiful to look at.

Stephanie Kane’s remodeling mission is to make the most of every space. She documents her ongoing renovations and spruce-up projects in her 1940s Colonial Cape via her Instagram, @the_seasoned_home, and blog of the same name, but until recently, there was one room in the house that wasn’t pulling its weight: the downstairs powder room. “It was so large that I was able to put two tables and a bench in it,” she says. “It didn’t fit, in my mind, and the space was wasted. That’s when we came up with the idea to make our hall closet into a tiny bathroom and the large powder room into a laundry room. Our laundry was down in the basement, and this would...
