I actually could have done without the cheesy models on the cover!
I love receiving "Premier Issues". I love Decor Magazine & Books. My name is Beachbrights and I am a Decor Book-Aholic.
I signed up to receive this complimentary issue of My Home My Style. I am a big fan of Work Bench Magazine (you can read my Going Green Spotlight) which is published under the same group, August Home. I love a magazine that gives you great ideas, basic instructions and is simple to follow. I guess you could say I am a sucker for an easy DIY project.
There are not a lot of bells & whistles in this magazine. The illustrations are helpful, materials list are resourceful and there are no advertisements. I can't figure this last one out but I like it!
Here are a couple of the projects that got my attention:
Cute "fold away" table.
I love projects that make life easier!
Here is an example of how the instructions are laid out. This is for turning a door into a desk. I did this project here (without the tutorial).
This is an inexpensive project ($20 or less). I love how they used PVC pipe to create this wine bottle holder. Brilliant!
As you can see there is really something for everyone and every budget. The magazine has 63 pages without advertisements.
XOXO-

Love the little mudroom. :) I love magazines and books like this, and I agree--the models were overkill. ;) Stop by if you have a chance today. I have a Giveaway going on for my new look. :)
i got mine last week in the mail too and thought "why did they use cheesey models" too -
Hope you had a fun weekend in nashville.
Thanks for sharing this. I just ordered a free copy too. Wonder how they are doing it with no advertising?
I received my free copy in the mail but have not had a chance to look at it yet. I thought the same thing about the models- ewwwwww! I can't wait to look inside, though. I am addicted to magazines and books!! Lori
I like that wine bottle holder too! I love magazines that are useful and actually show projects anyone can do :)
