Question: Art & Home Decorating and Restrcucture?
I am looking to research the best way to upgrade my 1950's flat-top home without loosing too much of it's orginal look, but expanding some room areas. I have gone though the DIY website and This Old House? The plans came back from the Artchitect, but I really am looking for some epansion, deocarting ideas for smaller rooms, and style ohter than "Botter Barn & IKEA look? What I want is my original style, but I need some inspiration because I'd like to keep the 1950's look with a twist of a modern yet Artistic style. Any website suggestions, books, magazines?
I already have BH& G, House So Beautiful, and so forth. I want ideas that are hard to find because of their originality. Thank You!
Answer: I would start by looking through old 1950's magazines. Such as House Beautiful - Better Homes & Gardens, you would not believe how much inspiration you can get, plus, there are design plans and decorating ideas. I have a bunch of the magazines from the 40's & 50's. I look at them all the time. You can buy them pretty reasonable from ebay. Just search under magazines, back issues. If you want I could probably mail you one to get you started and give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. Let me know.

Question: Extreme Makeover Home Edition TV: do you know a website where pictures of the finished interiors can be seen?
if not, can we all write them to do it ?
i am also wondering why everything is always perfect except the garden. French or japanese gardens are really beautiful. Why don't they ask for specialist ? N.B. : i have only seen the 12 first episodes. (the interiors beauty is improving at each episode) (sorry for my faults)
Answer: The only advice i can give is that the only fault that i can see that you need to apologize for is being a sensitive, inquisitive human being.
