Books and Home Renovation Shows
 

I am trying to get ideas for exterior/interior home renovation. What
books, magazines and tv shows do you all suggest?

So far my personal favorites are Flip This House and Flip That House.

Look at This Old House - tho in the last 10 years
they do major remodels, still they are quite good telling
what's out there. Also Hometime, which is usually better
for modest incomes.

I also like Debbie Travis - Painted House (?), look
at HGTV.com or DIYNET.com, you should find her shows.

As far as books. Depends on what you want to do - kitchens,
bathrooms, bedrooms,etc. Sunset has a great set of books
for each room.

Good luck - money and time is all you need!

Books and Home Renovation Shows
 

For magazines, try:

*This Old House (best general, all-around)
*Fine Homebuilding (the most technical, good if you're doing work yourself)
*Inspired House is good for design, colors, products.

I get all three and are very happy with them.

For shows, Hometime is good normal home-owner projects, but very basic. This
Old House is good, but the projects these days are huge and materials a bit
unrealistic for folks with normal budgets. But the advice is sound. In
general, watching HGTV can also give you a lot of ideas---mostly design,
colors, etc.
