Having previously subscribed to this magazine while living in California, I am glad to subscribe again. I have used many of the design ideas in this magazine--right down to the design of the traditional windows in my home. In that case, I contacted the writer/homeowner/architect by e-mail and got a very kind and helpful response about dimensions, etc. I have to make sure my dollars are spent correctly as I plan for my first and only home. Thank goodness for this bimonthly magazine!

UPDATE: This magazine now includes more contemporary designs, but still is worth the cost for the traditional/transitional material. There is a yearly "Sourcebook" edition which includes even more people on the East Coast generally willing to be contacted or whose web sites include additional design features. Even the ads--especially for garden designs--are quite lovely (however, I live at 9,212 feet altitude--even though not using the same plants, by careful plant selection I can still create the designs from this magazine) I have taken a 10 week Master Gardener class for that purpose; these classes are located all over the country, so check out your own area.

THE REAL VALUE in this magazine is to see to use of materials (e.g., granite that looks really good, and which type is usually identified clearly), various stylistic approaches, and the steps used to renovate a room, choosing colors, fabrics, furniture, appliances, panelling, decks, and even ceiling designs. The one thing I can't figure out is a good curtain design for Palladian and half-round windows without covering any window grills, yet still be able to close the curtains against the cold. It's 10 below zero here tonight. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

As wife and I are planning a retirement place in NC, we wanted to get every inch out of our new home. This has really good practical ideas for building or redoing.
