Your H&G Readers’ letters.

I’m an interior design student currently feeling overwhelmed with my studies (and everything else in life, like most people this year!). H&G is my saviour each month, setting my mind into relaxation mode as I spend some ‘me’ time reading, absorbing all the information, and taking in the stunning designs. H&G has become a sort of security blanket both for my studies and my home renovation, giving me the confidence to say ‘I’m doing alright at this’. Caroline Plant, Aldgate, SA

DREAMS TIME

Reading the Living the Dream issue (November) over the recent long weekend, I found the perfect design (curved!) for my new kitchen bench in the stunning Sydney home designed by Romy Alwill (Good Neighbours). There were also great ideas for outdoor furniture, which we will definitely invest in since we are staying home all summer! Elise Elliott’s monthly Great House, Great Car feature also brings a smile to my face – especially those gorgeous vintage convertibles. Jen Eagles, Hawksburn, Victoria

KEEP ON GIVING

With all our local shops closed and Christmas fast approaching, I was puzzling over what I could buy for my wife. Luckily for me, she had tagged a few pages in the October issue of H&G to point me in the right direction of the perfect gift. Thanks for coming to my rescue! Michael Bowden, Rosebud, Victoria

FORWARD THINKING

I’ve never subscribed to a magazine before, but H&G is such good value for money that I simply had to. I eagerly await the sight of the new ideas-packed issue poking out of my letterbox each month. While I’m not much of a gardener at the moment, the garden section in particular always gets me dreaming about what I will do with my forever home once I retire in a few years’ time!

A FRIEND INDEED

My mum is currently undergoing cancer treatment so I’m spending quite a bit of time in hospital waiting rooms. H&G is my constant companion. Each issue brings me comfort as I dream about plans to redo my bathroom and kitchen – maybe one day! But, in the meantime, I pore over pages and pages of colour and texture, taking note of the products that appeal. Thank you for the tapestry of inspiration! Jane Petersen, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
