This Old House - Cover Story

Last month, I posted about a contest This Old House Magazine was running where readers were asked to select their favorite cover out of four choices. This is the winner:

Of the four choices, this was my second favorite. I do like the red center island!

Not only did readers select the cover, they also selected the contents.

Stories include:

• A Connecticut couple shares how they remodeled their kitchen on a tight budget with appliances found on Craigslist, at warehouse stores and more.

• This Old House online users reveal their best penny-pinching moves, saving $52,280 collectively on home improvements.

• Three readers act as an expert panel and offer advice to other readers about how to handle remodeling disasters.

• Readers share the weird items found during their renovation projects.
