YOUR LETTERS
KUDOS FOR HOUSEBOUND
Lynda, thank you so much for this fabulous idea of visiting designers in their own spaces. It’s been such fun to see different styles while getting to know the designers. Tommy Smythe is a particular treasure, but I’ve enjoyed all the episodes as I do my part by staying at home in Seattle. — JOYCE HINKLEY, Seattle
I’ve been so impressed by House & Home during this trying time. From your Housebound series to the free issues available to download, it’s been wonderful to see you pivot and focus on your readers, making sure that we have something to watch, read and distract ourselves with, for at least a little while. I’m a loyal subscriber, to both print and now online, and will continue to subscribe. Bravo!

Thank you, Lynda, for inspiring me with Housebound. My home is a work in progress and it’s almost finished — here’s the sight line (see below)!

My cat and I have been sheltering in NYC, and your YouTube videos have been one of our favourite ways to pass the time through months of quarantine. Thank you!

I read with interest about the redesign and renovation cost of the six- by 10-foot trailer in the June issue (“The Happy Camper”). All the time and effort spent on this project seems to be creative, stylistically thoughtful and interesting. However, since the lack of space didn’t allow for the creation of a bathroom or an additional sleeping area for a third person, the money spent appears excessive in the end. Having experienced campgrounds and their various “facilities” many times in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary, I can see that, for the campers using this RV, there will be a stark contrast! — VIVIAN PEREPELECTA,

I love your magazine and have been a loyal subscriber for many years. While I enjoy all the features, renos and tips throughout, the treat I look forward to at the end is the “Ask a Designer” page. I love the real questions by average people about their average homes, and that they’re often on limited budgets. It’s so disappointing when it’s simply a page of tips (June). Although the tips are practical, it’s not the same. Please keep the regular feature.
