Comments (29)I subscribe to Cottage Living Country Living Southern Living Mary Engelbreits Home Companion-(but I am pissed at them right now and gonna write a letter- I always felt part of a subscription was that you recieved your mags before they came out on the news stands well we were at B+N last night and there it was the new issue- do I have one in my mailbox yet??? NOOO!!! grr.) Ok thanks for letting me rant and rave lol- just a pet peeve of mine. I occasionally buy different cottage style mags that are special publications but have to look at them first. I also buy Romantic homes once in a while I have a friend whose home was featured in there recently- kinda neat. And I just had a snippet published in Country Marketplace- about the perfect day- I spoke about an experience we had in Hawaii in the 90's.

Comments (29)Haven't really subscribed to mags for years, but I have bought a number at check-out counter in the past two years, primarily the BHG bath-kitchen ones, and Renovation Style, and one called "Kitchen Trends." Often began reading them while waiting for DH in a store. Also bought the Consumer Reports mag at newstand, without paging through it. I like BH&G for its down-to-earth attitude, its placidity with paint and DIY. Triangulating between the posh mags and House Beautiful and the plebian ones helps me see the field better. I did a lot of reading of library copies of Kitchens and Baths and of kitchen remodel guidebooks. We have a fabulous local library system. Sometimes I go spend a couple hours in library reading latest copies of all those titles that others mention above. Our MPR public radio station sponsorships bring us Minnesota Monthly and its occasional companion Midwest Home, which covers the region's high end building industry primarily. This publication is helpful for showing what are the upcoming open houses, shows, etc. and what are the posh kitchens like, but it is also aimed well above my family's interests and budget and has some downright dumb designs in it sometimes. Portions are online--see link. I do know that a number of helpful images at beginning of project came from this mag--sometimes just a color scheme or a shade or something. Also like reading the pieces put out by local industries--the local co. tile mag, the Parade of Homes promos, etc. Thanks for leads to other online mags. I love to browse. Here is a link that might be useful: Midwest Home Magazine...See MoreDoes anyone get these decorating magazines?
Comments (24)okay, I just checked and I can get Cottage Living, Southern Living, Traditional Home, Southern Accents, and Veranda. How will I ever decide now :) les - I know you're right, and I would probably come out ahead making a donation and buying him the prize, but I've decided that I would really like to get some decorating magazines. He wants the ipod speakers and he has to sell 7 subscriptions, so that's not too bad. I refuse to do every fundraiser they bring home (this is the 4th one so far this year, plus his boy scout one), but this is one I decided I would do. Laurie...See MoreUser
