What makes a good interior and exterior home design magazine? My husband and I are buying a "fixer-upper" home. What is a good magazine for ideas both inside and outside design (including landscaping, bridges, construction, architecture, style, floors, kitchens, baths, etc. ...)?

Fine Home Builder Info great even if you're not a manufacturer.
Coastal-living did not like too much revenue, not enough information.
Country Living, Coastal Living, as well.
Hope that helps!
