Traditional Home (2-year)

Traditional Home is a nice little magazine about home living and the many ways to make a home look great, both inside and out. This magazine takes a slightly different approach to homes when compared to others of its genre. Instead of focusing on size and modern amenities, Traditional Home directs its attention toward classic style and elegance with an uptodate twist.

Home decorating/improvement are the main subjects in Traditional Home and there are several departments and main features dedicated to adding a touch of classic style to your house. One article might talk about the addition of different comforters and pillows to your bedroom. Another could talk about adding antique clocks to your family room. Still another might focus on sprucing up the outside of your home by planting flowering bushes. These features and departments all have the same goal in mind: To take a plain, drab room or exterior and spice it up with some oldfashioned elegance.

Not all of the pages in Traditional Home are dedicated to the subject of decorating. The magazine does offer a few more subject areas to make it better rounded. It is common, for example, to find an article or two about home entertainment and this is especially true around the holiday season. There are also some articles that are related to travel; e.g., travel to visit a unique antique shop or partake in a home decorating event.

Traditional Home is a classy magazine and there are many things I like about this publication. One nice quality is that the suggestions for decorating are not comprised of items exclusively for the rich and famous, like many other, similar magazines. Yes, there are some more expensive ideas presented here but there are an equal number of less expensive ideas for both decorating and for entertaining. Another quality I like is the personal touch so common in most of the articles. Ordinary people share their personal stories about why they chose to remodel their bathroom the way they did; why they celebrate Christmas the way they do; or why they added a collection of antique art to their family room. These personal touches help make the magazine more then just a buyer's guidethey make it a magazine that is nice to read and relate to.

Overall, Traditional Home is a nice magazine about homes, decorating, and entertaining with plenty of colorful photos that offer great interior visual appeal. It is amazing what can be done to an ordinary room with some dedicated effort, and Traditional Home aims to guide readers in this direction; helping to turn a plain, boring home into a feast for the visual senses.

Traditional Home features traditional and traditional design, but also shows traditional coupled with romantic, modern, victorian and neo-classical. The photography is exquiste.

It also has various information on home lighting, upholstery, outdoor furniture, gardening, rugs, dishes, vintage and antique textiles, travel, architecture and home electronics.

Traditional Home is printed on thick, glossy and sturdy paperstock. It will survive repeated referencing. If you love interior design of this kind you'll love Traditional Home.

I have gotten this magazine for several years on and off. I finally let my subscription run out. One reason was that getting the magazine itself was difficult. Issues were always coming up missing, and I almost never ended up with the Christmas issue, even though I had a subscription. They always sold out and never had a back issue to give me. As for the content, I loved it at the beginning. It had it's downside--the items they used were very expensive, but you could get ideas from it. But what made me love it at the beginning is the fact it used Traditional style. That is my style, not modern or contemporary. But in the past few years it has started to shift to contemporary styles. A more contemporary style seems to be what is "in" if you watch HGTV or watch Oprah's decorator, but if I wanted a magazine that covered modern decorating, I would buy a different magazine. When I saw the magazine doing an article on one of the New York Housewives apartments which the show showed in detail, I had a good laugh. The coffee tables spelled out a word, which is not my idea of traditional. How anyone could call that traditional was beyond me. They have floated off into the contemporary style bandwagon and left their dedicated traditionalist readers behind.

One of the best, if not the best, decorating magazines EVER. I love their book cover to cover. I call it a book because many back issues are kept with the reference books in my library.

One of my all-time favorites is the "What's New, What's Next" section...very cutting edge.
