This is a fantastic magazine filled with great pictures, ads and info but do yourself a huge favor and buy it at a store! The $60 for a subscription would be worth it if they delivered. I am 2 1/2 years into a subscription and will get a magazine then nothing for 6 months. I have to write or call. It has been the biggest pain ever! I had a subscription to this publishers sister magazine, American Dream Homes, it to was an awesome magazine but then the same problem, it NEVER came. They finally discontinued the magazine. This publisher has gotten enough of my money!

I took the advice of a previous reviewer and bought this magazine at a store since the reviewer could not get it delivered to her house. The strengths of this magazine include the "quantity" of mostly kitchen designs. The colored pictures are beautiful. The design quality of the kitchen and bath designs themselves was beautiful in terms of traditional and contemporary artistic pieces. In small print on each kitchen/bathroom design there is a brief topic descriptions of the DESIGNER, SPECIAL FEATURES, DIMENSIONS and PRODUCTS USED. For me, the PRODUCT USED descriptions were the most helpful. Now for the weaknesses; on each kitchen/bathroom design a color top down isometric for each floor plan layout is shown in miniature. Great concept; however, many are either incomplete or incorrect. Thus trying to figure out where the some of the photographs were taken in relation to the floor plan became impossible. Furthermore, two photographs per layout cannot do justice to these beautiful kitchen/bathroom pieces. For me it would be more helpful to have fewer kitchen/bathroom features and more photographs. I prefer "quality" over "quantity". Grammar errors abound in the text descriptions for each of the featured kitchen/bathroom pieces. I found many errors in the product descriptions because the name brands were at times captured in the photographs. I might recommend consumers buy one issue to get a taste/flavor of this magazine. But you should look else ware for kitchen and bathroom ideas. Due to this magazine's sloppiness, it can be frustrating at times to learn anything of qualitative value.

This edition is wonderful~Have not purchased in a long time, however, we are getting closer to a renovation. Articles are wonderfully written and informative!
