Yes, you are so right -- the magazine has indeed changed -- and features many decor ideas and styles (and yes!!! I DO like them too!) that "blur" the lines -- but then -- "fusion" seems to work well .....

Just hopng that the magazine can keep going!

I haven't seen a Tradional Home magazine in years. It use to be my favorite magazine some thirty years ago. I need to check it out.

Seems like most of the magazines are so small now due to the economy I suppose. With the exception of Southern Living but they have way too much cooking in there for me.

I still enjoy the Traditional Home Magazine as one of my favorite decorating magazines despite the changes. I sure hope they survive.

I recently re-subscribed. I've gotten two issues so far and have been really pleased. I've gotten some nice ideas and sources from which to implement them.
My style is basically traditional, but I like the funky touch once in awhile.

I just sent off my two-year renewal, too, so hope they last that long. Traditional Home and House Beautiful are two of my favorites. I've let Southern Living expire, just not enough to hold my attention, and yes, too many recipes.

Just before EBay quit allowing magazine subscription sales, I got a screaming deal on Traditional Home; $10 for a 3 year subscription(!). I like it but definitely agree it is nowhere near the 'traditional' style it used to be. My MIL was a subscriber for many years, and kept her back issues. Comparing what TH used to feature 5-10-20 years ago to today's style it is clearly night/day. I agree it is more a fusion-eclectic look. I always enjoy reading it.

I've been buying the magazine occasionally because it's not only traditional, I love that they've been showing how to incorporate more contemporary elements in a traditional decor.

I do hope they survive; I'm still mourning the loss of House and Garden.

Traditional Home does remain on of my top favorites BUT I have been enjoying "House Beautiful" -- just a great mix of regular features and stories .....

Maybe the magazine's idea of 'traditional' is changing to more traditional/transitional? I've only subscribed to TH for a year, but it's definitely more 'traditional' than House Beautiful or other shelter mags. I see more wood furniture, antiques, Persian rugs, chandeliers, conservative paint choices and other 'traditional' elements than in the other mags.

I think the fact that they have features like "I Could Be a Classic" shows that they aren't just focusing on what "traditional" meant, but what it means now.

All styles evolve. I think they're doing a good job staying true to a style and not going for the "Domino" thing.

TH & HB, my 2 favorites! I do like the new twist on traditional that they having evolved into.

I feel like they have gone out of their way to appeal to a younger reader/ decorator who still likes traditional design but wants it to reflect a 'hipper' look. THANK YOU!!!

I know this is a really old thread. I lost interest in Traditional Home when it stopped being, well, Traditional. However, I just got an ad in the mail that they are reviving it, and the look is traditional again. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know what happened to Ingrid, the OP of this thread? I haven’t seen her in months, and months and months.
