love it, I renew my subscription every year.
It's elegant,understated and modern,it showcases beautiful interiors,gorgeous flower arrangements and delicious recipes.

Veranda is one of my favorite interior design magazines. Yes, there is quite a bit of advertising. Tho, most of the advertisements are beautifully done and are more like art than adverts.

Anyone could get decorating ideas from Veranda. Many times I have used Veranda to get ideas for garden design, floral design, home furnishing, art, textures and for choosing my home's color palette. If you shop in local antique shops, flea markets or even Ebay you can find similar antiques and art to recreate the designer looks in Veranda for much less money.

Each month in Veranda there's usually a pictorial feature on jewelry. I love the way the jewels are so beautifully arranged, then skillfully photographed.

As other reviewers have mentioned Veranda's paper stock is thick and glossy. Veranda will survive repeated reading.

I ordered this magazine, and 8 other subscriptions and only received 2 of the magazines after waiting 4 months. Order directly! I can't find anyway to contact Amazon for help on this issue.

Veranda magazine contains stunning photography of homes and gardens. If you enjoy browsing through pictures for decorating ideas, this is a great magazine to dream on. However, great photography is about the only thing this magazine has to offer. Veranda is probably 75% advertisements (gorgeous advertisements, but ads nonetheless), and the few articles it contains are usually shallow and provide dull reading. For those of use who aren't millionaires, most of the products the magazine advertises are impractical luxuries.

I really like the quality of this magazine, or I wouldn't have subscribed.
It is irritating, however, when the first two issues you receive arrive on the same day, and both are ones you've already purchased at the newstand. I mean really. Why would you send out the previous month's issue?
