Nuggets of turquoise might inspire an accent color, an antique watering can leads to the perfect metal finish, and wispy greenery keeps it all fresh. But we're in the mood for something bold. These oversize botanical wallpapers do the trick. Watch one bring your home to life. You have to check out the "new" (well, year and a half old?) quarterly Garden Design magazine.
Much of what I was secretly working on drove a duel gender aisle at major retailers, so maybe…..Better Homes and Gardens is realizing that the old Martha audience was either female, or guys not afraid of ‘feminine pursuits’? It all looks attractive, but aside from the make-up and beauty articles, I could leave this in our manly bathroom and not feel too embarrassed as it sits next to Men’s Health. Looking nice’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘gay’ in 2016.
Better Homes & Gardens November 1977
I love great design, but micrograms and foamy soup shot on rusty, greasy metal with denim just isn’t that appetizing. So aside from the fear of one getting lockjaw, I usually don’t find the idea of getting depressed when reading stories about holiday spreads. That said, I don’t want the old bright, sterile and cheerful studio lighting (ala-Kraft 1995 either). This issue offers a nice middle ground style, perfect for mass market, and probably for the brand. Estimated delivery dates - opens in a new window or tab include seller's handling time, origin ZIP Code, destination ZIP Code and time of acceptance and will depend on shipping service selected and receipt of cleared payment.
At the end of the day, did I find this issue truly inspiring? Interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date if the balance is not paid in full within 6 months. Minimum monthly payments are required. Select PayPal Credit at checkout to have the option to pay over time.
Better Homes & Gardens May 1998
Index this book.Your request will be added to the indexing chart. This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. This husband-and-wife team took their love of gardening to new heights with a vertical display of flowerpots created from inexpensive home supplies. Evoking the golden age of Dutch still lifes, this new generation of florals is blown-up, bold, and beautifully brooding. Plant these moody blooms as accents, or paper a wall in a grand romantic gesture. Marie-Laure Coste Dujols is bringing Parisian-style flower shopping to Atlantans at Le Jardin Français, where learning is fun, personal, and not the least bit intimidating.
I really miss Organic Gardening magazine. Sure, the rebranded Organic Life is nice, but not gardening focused. Back to those inner pages (I know, paper stock again!) they are thinner than Martha Stewart Living, but not quite at that cheap-toilet-paper-from-the-New-Jersey-Turnpike-sort-of-way.
Better Homes & Gardens February 2019
I was sent a complementary copy of the newly rebranded Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Maybe it’s because it’s the gardening issue, but I have to admit that I like it. Also, look at the new BH&G through the lens of the core consumer.
Where gardening factors into the mix, I don’t know. I would wager a guess that ‘the idea of gardening’ for Martha Stewart is currently in a stage of flux, trying to find it’s new audience, while the gardening consumer for Better Homes and Gardens might be more accessible, or open to growth. Martha Stewart Living equals ‘style’, while Better Homes and Gardens equate with leisure time projects that are fun and family oriented. I always appreciate a gardening issue that doesn’t cost $9.99 at the register because it’s a ‘special’, and comes with a regular subscription. The April of the newly designed Better Homes and Gardens demonstrates how a brand can update itself to be more relevant.
It's PORCH season
I think it’s too early to be judgey about that, yet. The newly designed Better Homes and Gardens is both contemporary and content rich, especially in this gardening issue, April, 2016. I good mix of everyday mass market with good design and fresher-than-normal, content.That said, this gardening issue, is well endowed at 148 pages, and call me crazy, but the cover stock feels thicker than that January issue. Not that it’s all about size, but it does add to the experience.
Sure, it’s a story on pesto, but nice enough not to be boring, which means that I took the time to read it. Delivery time is estimated using our proprietary method which is based on the buyer's proximity to the item location, the shipping service selected, the seller's shipping history, and other factors. So approached from that perspective, the two may be able to exist if the content can remain on-brand for each, without cannibalizing each other.
True, but even I need to remind myself that there are always beginners, and they need to start somewhere. Once they have discovered gardening, they tend to move on to more complex sources for content. So, although targeting beginner or casual gardeners, at least it's making an effort to move up to the bar, rather then mindlessly staying behind.
Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. A book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. The dust jacket for hard covers may not be included.
Someone else bought the name and it is nothing like it used to be. No advertising, book-heavy paper, advice from insiders, and lots of PLANTS. Look – a man, in Better Homes and Gardens!
