The magazine House Beautiful could never be said to be down-to-earth, but sometimes “heavenly” is a better accolade. When it comes to feeding our nesting urge with larger than life possibilities, and awakening our imaginations with new trends, classic old ideas, and more, House Beautiful fits the bill. As in most home and garden magazines, the photography is fresh and elegant. Often even the advertisements contain great or just plain amusing decorating ideas, such as the star-and-moon painted staircase advertising Sherwin-Williams paints in past issue. Columns full of vibrant ideas and valuable information include “Style Beat,” “News,” which illustrated and discussed some contemporary Native American art that I’ll try to see, and “Scrapbook,” which featured clever ideas using paint (also in the same issue).
”A Thoughts of Home” in a later issue tells of a woman’s need to move away from a historic, registered house because of divorce, and another talks of abandoned houses and their pull on the imagination. Every single one is a tribute to the editor of this feature, and never are emotions overwrought or cheap. Each story is honest, with true-life situations, and all beautifully written.
The July 2007 issue featured nine idea-filled kitchens, and an article on how to decorate using color with confidence, both of which I found helpful. My rooms may never look as elegant as House Beautiful’s, but they do an excellent job of showcasing fine traditional or avant-garde design and decorating ideas. You may not have their budget, but they’re not so far out of touch they you can’t emulate their ideas. For example, although I don’t have their wonderful assortment of picnic baskets to arrange as they did them in the Kitchen issue, their picture gave me an idea for arranging my own extensive basket collection in a simpler, homey way.
And it looks excellent, now, stacked with separators on a corner of their kitchen instead of piled here and there with no rhyme or reason. House Beautiful seems to have recognized the cozier, homier look most Americans prefer, and are often including an almost country look in an occasional review. If you are trying to locate a current copy in a local public or school library, you may not have much difficulty. It is a common magazine in waiting rooms and reception areas because it is so univerally loved. We have no problem subscriptions through our magazine subscription service - whether it is for a new, renewal or even gift subscription - and it is no surprise. that’s all. Maybe it’s because we offer cheap discount prices or maybe it is just what it is.
In the new issue of Better Homes and Gardens, there is a really great article on how to decorate your home in a simplified matter. I’m just really happy that my subscription started right when I was about to start redecorating my twenty-year old home! One of the pointers that I was given in the newest issue (which, by the way, is also and always available online), is to decorate using white (which is a great way to avoid color decisions!).
We tried this in both of my children’s bedrooms and in the master bedroom and we are all happy as pie with the results. I have never seen my wife happier with my antics thanks to my omniscient decision!
The newest issue of Better Homes and Gardens also advised my family that the color blue is one of the best bets to combine with white and that is exactly what we decided to do once we had the painters start questioning us as to what color plan is the best for the living room. The inside porch that was just completed also has its own unique color and design. We decided to go with more of an “autumn” outlook with the porch and, once it was completed, it gave me a sense of déjà vu – almost as if I had dreamt about the completion of it before it was finished.
The extra guest bedroom that we had installed on the third floor has leaf-print wallpaper throughout. Even the bed sheets and bed cover have the same pattern and colors. The dining room on the first floor was done exclusively in brown, silver and crystal. I can’t wait for my younger brother and his family to visit so that they can check out how beautiful it turned out. He was definitely one of the persons that influenced me in finishing up our house and for that I am honored!
As always, if you work for a company or a business and you want a magazine subscription service to consolidate all your subscriptions, give us a shout. we have a nice, clean online interface to manage all your new, renewal and gift subscriptions. it is a lot of fun writing these postings on home magazines because we get to cover related titles like Fine Homebuilding, yet another house improvement classic.
Ciao!
In the newest issue of Fine Homebuilding Magazine, there is a fantastic article on improving water pressure in a newly built home (or even in a much older home, as well). The article explains the different methods involved in doing this, including adding a water softener and iron filter, but sometimes this can also decrease the water pressure. Sometimes the pipes in the house are old and corroded due to the accumulation of iron deposits within the pipes themselves.
I’m sure that there are a lot of businesses and corporations that would just love to order a subscription to this incredible magazine since it is one of the most highly sought after publications for those of you that love to fix the water pressure in either your new home or on the old home that you purchased. If you have a public library nearby or even a school library, even if you live in a rural area, magazines about home improvement and design like Architectural Record Magazine will still help you in fixing the water pressure problem in your household. Isn’t that a blast, gang? So, remember to order this amazing magazine through your favorite neighborhood magazine subscription agency. Trust me, it will leave you smiling!
There is also another article in the newest edition of Fine Homebuilding that explains in step-by-step instructions how to adjust a troublesome pressure switch and how to also install a booster pump that will help increase the water pressure at your home. I tried it myself and found out that it increased the water pressure in my home between fifty and seventy pounds (whereas before it was only between thirty and fifty pounds). Quite a dramatic change and it left me very pleased! It’s kind of strange to see the crossover with magazines like Popular Mechanics but it is to be expected.

Here’s a new type of blog post where we cover some interesting magazines that we offer through our online magazine subscription service. One of the popular titles ordered through our library subscription service is Alternative Press (or AP). If you have a waiting room or reception area, this music magazine based in Cleveland, Ohio primarily focuses on the different genres of rock music including punk, emo, metal, indie rock, ska, and hardcore and providing readers with band interviews and photos, information on upcoming releases, and music charts.
It was founded in 1985 by Mike Shea, who is the current president. The first issue of AP was just a photocopied fanzine, distributed at concerts in Cleveland beginning in June of 1985 by AP’s founder, Mike Shea, who could no longer stand the music being played on radio stations and believed that bands playing underground music should be given more media coverage “all in the same spot”, he said.
Growth of music magazines like Alternative Press in the 1990s
With the growth of alternative music in the early 1990s, circulation began to increase. AP’s covers included bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Soundgarden, prior to each band’s huge major label success. The magazine’s first cover story on Nine Inch Nails in 1990 was said by Shea to be AP’s “biggest-selling issue ever.” Shea recalled getting a subscription order from Spin magazine publisher Bob Guccione, who wrote a fan letter to the publication and joked about interviewing Bon Jovi for Spin.
Alternative Press can be ordered online at a cheap discount price by visiting our zoom page.

ESPN the Magazine, like the industry leader in sports television that created it, is big, bold and brash like most of the athletes that it portrays and it uses its oversize format to show off very striking full page images and splashy sidebars. When we sell magazine subscriptions to ESPN through our online magazine subscription service we know that subscribers come from a variety of backgrounds like libraries, students, consumers, professionals and teachers.
We’ve started including more details about our magazines so that our corporate customers who buy subscriptions for their reception areas or waiting rooms will be more informed. We don’t just want to save you money by offering cheap discount prices, we want you to choose the right magazines.
Contributors to the magazines include familiar on-air talent such as Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, Rich Eisen, Linda Cohn, Peter Gammons, John Clayton and many others (including the athletes themselves).
In comparison to other sports magazines, ESPN gives you broader features such as playoff previews, personality profiles, photo spreads with a major emphasis on basketball, football, baseball, hockey, soccer and some newer extreme sports. ESPN mainly targets young, active men whose lifestyles include watching sports, attending games and participating in different types of athletics. The editorial focus of ESPN Magazine plays off the news and includes what happens in sports and which match-ups and young players to look out for. Also, ESPN emphasizes both the humor and fun of both mainstream and off-beat sports.
Being a worthy competitor towards both The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine’s large and colorful format would make the biggest splash towards the late teen and early adult age groups (not that older adults wouldn’t also love their complex coverage of the college football and basketball brackets). Remember that a one year, twenty-six issues subscription to ESPN Magazine is only $14.97 through our wonderful website.
We covered a lot of ground on magazine subscription services in the last few weeks and spent a good amount of time describing how we sell magazines to different customers like libraries, students, individual consumers and businesses. The cool part about selling magazines - even corporate subscriptions - is that not only can we help subscribers save money because we’ve got cheap discount magazines, but we get to offer a wide variety of popular titles at the same time.
One of the more popular titles is ESPN (the magazine), formerly an abbreviation of Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, is published bi-weekly and owned by an American cable television network dedicated to broadcasting mostly sports-related programming twenty-four hours a day. The company was founded by Scott Rasmussen and his father Bill Rasmussen, along with Donny Stanley and his son Cardell and was first launched on September 7, 1979 with the show SportsCenter (which aired its 25,000th episode on August 25, 2002).
ESPN was originally owned by a prestigious joint venture between the Getty Oil Company (which was purchased by Texaco later on) and Nabisco. As of 1984, the entire family of ESPN networks and franchises are owned by ABC and the Hearst Corporation. ESPN was started as an alternative to standard television news broadcasts and the information that is usually found in the “Sports” sections of newspapers. It was begun as a fairly small-fry operation at first and they had to broadcast unorthodox sporting events such as the World’s Strongest Man Competition, the short-lived United States Football League (USFL) before ESPN landed a contract to show National Football league games on Sunday evenings in 1987.
