...on real homes. Your Home gives you helpful information on how to tackle diy jobs such as laying underfloor heating, putting up a shed and also more simple tasks like re-vamping a photo frame.

Every month there are real make-over sections where people have written in with their own home-makeover (inc tips on how to do it yourself), jobs to do ...
...helpful ideas for brightening up your home. My only disappointment with YourHome is that i think when showing furniture/accesories they recommend they should keep in line with the whole concept of the magazine - cheap and cheerful.

...love the article about 'Benches,Seats and Settles. I surely need some comfort if I'm going to be a regular reader of this magazine! After getting lost in a few more 'delicious' homes, I then spent more of my summertime in a gorgeous Kent cottage garden! The colour burst forth from the pages and the scent was not far behind. I hope that the next isssue can live up to this one! ... Read review
