Publisher's Synopsis
The recent boom in home improvement is actually a recurrent national obsession, as these entertaining magazine covers testify. These oh-so-inspirational magazines guaranteed your home would be state of the art and gorgeous beyond belief. Projects included making your own murals in linoleum, installing door chimes, making a foldaway breakfast bar, erecting a carport, and constructing that must-have kidney-shaped dressing table. Feel smugly superior to images of smiling couples enacting yesterday's refurbishment faux pas as, blissfully unaware, you create tomorrow's DIY nightmares today.
