Summary: Just like Groundhog day
Comment: I have a 2 year subscription to this magazine. (why???)
This magazine has lovely photos, but is just like the movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray.
It is the same every month..........same themes, same rooms, same stuff, same ads even.
If you like to see no changes in your life, this magazine is a "must have".

Summary: Modern Country Decor
Comment: Country Home is a magazine that does all it can to bring the country home to you, regardless of what type of setting in which you presently live. I am a city slicker all the way and I certainly have no interest in selling my home and purchasing a farm. But I still like Country Home magazine for several reasons. Most important of all, I like that Country Home doesn't completely push the country look and/or country lifestyle. This was a pleasant surprise when I started to read Country Home because, based on the name, I was expecting a magazine that was all about the country lifestyle, complete with recipes for grits, outhouse remodeling tips, and ideas for purchasing the best wicker furniture. But Country Home isn't like that at all. This magazine is certainly country- oriented, but it emphasizes a more modern country look for the home that can be applied to most any household, regardless of location.
Country Home offers several different sections and different monthly features but the theme that the magazine continues to return to is that of home decorating. Turn to different sections of Country Home and you are most likely to see articles on antiques, collectibles, flowers, and other like items and how their inclusion can make your home look better. There are also some recipes offered in different parts of Country Home, and they offer some interesting recipes made southern style.
Country Home certainly attempts to keep its country roots at a modern level, but that doesn't mean you won't find anything that is truly down home in the pages of Country Home. There are some very rustic suggestions for home decor in the pages of Country Home and some of them will likely turn off the majority of city- dwelling readers. When I read Country Home, I tend to flip past these articles because they are a little too down on the farm for my tastes. The other articles about home decorating are at least modern looking enough to consider, even though it is doubtful I would ever adopt one of the styles mentioned in this magazine.
Country Home is, overall, a very good magazine and, coming from someone like me, that says a lot considering I have little or no interest in country life or the country theme for home decor. The reason I like the magazine regardless is because of the writing, the antique articles, the occasional travel article, and the collectibles ideas, not to mention the recipes. Combined together, Country Home offers a total greater than the sum of its parts and it makes for a very appealing magazine.
