YOUR LETTERS
OUR READERS HAVE THEIR SAY.
I hadn’t noticed your “Must Reads” page before. What a wonderful idea! This magazine has truly become my all-encompassing source for interior design knowledge.
— JUSTINA YORK, Canmore, Alta.
I look forward to House & Home magazine every month, and the June issue was just as beautiful as always. — ALANA GUINANE, Port Dover, Ont.
I loved Rosie Daykin’s ranch house in your June issue (“Easy Breezy”)! Her patio steps, with the overflowing planters that jazz up the concrete, gave me the idea to try something similar at home. I also covet her soft pink sofas, which I would never have thought to choose, but look just perfect in that space. Thanks for the inspiration!
— KATHERINE LANGER, Vancouver
I was pleased to see Morgan Jane Home (“Style Files: Shop”) featured in your June issue! This has been a cherished local destination for me and my husband over the past year, and we were pleasantly surprised to see it in such a notable publication. That isn’t to say the rest of the issue was ordinary; I’m really loving “Artist File” and found a great deal of inspiration in Rosie Daykin’s home (“Easy Breezy”). — GINO MANUELLE, Fernie, B.C.
I cannot put down your June issue! Every time I do, there seems to be another reason to open it up again.
I’m in the midst of finding a new apartment in Montreal, where spacious rentals are hard to find. I’ve become determined to recreate, or at least reimagine, the Sarah Keenleyside patio feature (“Backyard Bliss”). Lastly, “More or Less” might be my favourite. I’m always on the hunt for a less expensive version of furniture I see online, and this has been a huge help. — SANDRA OSBOURNE, Montreal
For me, summer starts with H&H’s June issue arriving in my mailbox. This one is especially beautiful and well balanced, in terms of decorating styles. I really enjoy “Colour Spotlight” each issue; it convinces me to add more colour to my life.
— TRISTAN ORJI, Toronto
I only really began decorating my home this year. Before the pandemic, I didn’t think much of what went where or what kind of material my furniture was made of. But I’ve found a lot of inspiration in House & Home and it’s made me think more carefully about these things. Your June issue has especially inspired the way I’m rebooting my backyard this year.
— ALOK NOVAK, Fergus, Ont.
One of my favourite parts of
House & Home is the before and after renovation photos. My only pet peeve is that rarely are the same angles used in capturing the “after” of the room that was renovated. Having worked as a home stager and taken countless photos of transformations, it’s always nice to see the same angle in the after photo for a sense of perspective.
— KERRY TAIT, Winnipeg
