Early warning buzzer: Mark your calendar now for the third-annual Everett Fall Home Show from noon to 6 p.m. Oct. 19, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 20 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center.

Visit more than 350 booths featuring a wide selection of home-related products and services for building, remodeling, winterizing and decorating all in one place. Attend demonstrations on how to make dramatic improvements to your home, lawn and garden.

Chef J. Warren — a 5-star executive chef and author best known for appearances on the “Today Show” and “Good Morning America” — will appear Oct. 20 and 21. He’ll explain how to “Cut Your Grocery Bills in Half” while also eating healthful foods that take less time prepare.

Tickets to the show, sold at the door, are $7 ($6.50 for seniors). Children age 16 and younger can attend for free. See www.everetteventscenter.com or call 866-332-8499 for ticket details.

Fall with flair: That’s the theme of the 256-page October issue of Elle Decor. If you feel like you’ve seen it all, check out this ultra-glamorous mag full of ideas for a fashionable home, not to mention a ton of interiors eye candy.

What’s hot? Black is huge, safari motifs are on the rise and fur is, well, fabulous if used in moderation.

You’ll also get a dose of how the upper crust lives: Socialite and philanthropist Valesca Guerrand-Hermes revels in the quirky splendor of her sunny, family-friendly duplex at the famed Hotel des Artistes apartment building in Manhattan. In Rome, haute couturier Valentino Garavani hosts an affair to remember in honor of his 45th anniversary as the king of fashion. And Thom Browne, noted for his impeccably tailored suits, shares the 12 things he can’t live without, including a daily dose of champagne, the 1963 Lincoln Continental and vintage armchairs by Jacques Adnet.

Well, then.
