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! MJ Wallace |

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. "BettyM" wrote in message oups.com... I am trying to get ideas for exterior/interior home renovation.
