I like "Design Inc"., but I find the designs to be a bit monotonous sometimes. I love "how Not To Decorate", although the dramatics can get a bit much sometimes. The shows that drive me crazy are the ones that have really impractical designs (Trading Spaces).
I'm also really big into Domino & Chocolat magazines
Just curious what everyone else likes to read/watch...

Sounds corny but... Pottery Barn catalogues have fabulous design ideas!! I drool everytime the new products come out. I wish I could hire the PB designers for my home. :laugh:
Cityline, Design Inc and Home to Stay are my favourite. This H&H forum site I find the best for advice and the links provided here by members are great...
have ordered a chocolat, i tried one Domino but the one i tried i really didnt care for, i still have a subscription for House and Home and Style at Home. Im trying O at Home, i ordered this one and Chocolate from my girlfriends DD school fund raiser....so we will see how i like them. I like a few of the design shows, but i still enjoy the repeats of Home to Go and i also like Peter's Home to Stay....i like the DIY ideas. I preferred Sarahs old show, and i love Cityline ....i like to surf the net for ideas and of course i have learned alot from this board.

Magazines used to be my main source but after cancelling some and realizing I haven't had a lot of time to browse them anyway I would have to say I pretty much rely on TV and here. I have one on while I'm on the computer as background so that's when I catch it. AS far as which TV, have to Cityline over all.
When I have something on my agenda (like a kitchen or whatever) then I start scanning mags, books, the INternet looking for ideas specific to that project. I'll also roam stores, expos, or whatever else is around.
I get more out of magazines that television, as I don't have too much time for TV and the programs are not always shown when I can view them.
Canadian House & Home has been my favorite for over 20 years, first through a subscription my mother kept and now with my own. I'm hooked on it, and I love it. I also like Style at Home, and I subscribed to that last year also. At the newsstand, I pick through and buy any that interest me. I'm buying fewer of those though, since the Canadian price has hit up to $7.99 for many or most BHG's.
haha Jeep that's what i do too...then if there are any that i would consider buying when they have to go back i just tell the girl that takes care of the magazines which ones i want and all we have to send back is the front cover to get credit for the ones that didn't sell...so i get them after they have to leave the shelf sans the front cover...oh i guess i shouldn't have told you that...LOL
I like Style At Home magazine and Design Inc. show onTV. I don't buy any of thye mags as I read them free on my breaks at work. they are there for the month so I have plenty of time to go over them.
