Product Reviews

(4 stars) - very helpful
This is a very helpful mag. Alot of interesting ideas and tips. Even the ads are good for ideas

(3 stars) - What's the delay?
I already know I love the magazine, but I don't understand why it takes 3 months to get the first issue! I ordered it on September 20th and Amazon is telling me I won't get it until December 8th. Wha...?

(2 stars) - it's been over 30 days and i've heard nothing and have no magazine
how long does it take, over 30 days??? no word, no nothing from the co.

(5 stars) - House Beautiful - Don't decorate a house without it
House Beautiful is packed with useful ideas on home decorating that even a novice can understand and put into practice. The publication is easy to read and provides excellent ideas from Kitchen to Closet. If you are thinking about redecorating your home, or furnishing a new one, House Beautiful will provide all the help you need.

(5 stars) - my replacement...
I picked up this magazine as a replacement for my beloved 'Domino'(still sobbing over this loss!). HB would be the child of 'Domino' and 'Elle Decor'. A bit more grown up than 'Domino', with less pretension and more realistic ideas than 'Elle Decor'. Maybe everyone just can't run out and purchase the majority of the items showcased, but everyone can get great inspirational ideas from this magazine. And, if you are not creative...well, at least it serves as pretty eye candy.
