Real Living has inspired me to renovate my house from time to time. the Real makeover section is always the one I read first. I was also able to fi nish my bathroom project with the help of your may 2007 issue, and even made sure that we followed the bright green color of the magazine cover for this. I was amazed with the result, that guests liked how I've done it. now I'm renovating my living room, tv room, and my sons' bedrooms. your magazine fuels my imagination."
