Author's Review
You've got your Luther Vandross box set and your 5 CD changer, you've lit candles about your room, but your girlfriend just still isn't impressed. She'd rather get a room at a hotel than participate in bedroom sports in your room.
What do you do?
Take everything out of your room, and pick up a copy of two of Romantic Homes magazine. Romantic Homes magazine is one of the few magazines which features absolutely NO scantily clad women, yet I will still open it, look at the pictures, and read the articles. In that order, of course.
Romantic Homes magazine will show you, through the use of pictures mostly, how to decorate your home so that you too can appear smooth with the ladies. (For the ladies, you can get ideas of how you want the house decorated and leave the magazine around for your men to find, so that you may slowly break him in to the idea of having a romantic home. I suggest leaving a copy by the toilet for him, open to the pages you like)
Turning through a normal issue of Romantic Homes, we will be greeted by many colorful pictures, but first, you will be greeted by many ads, and a letter from the editor, then letters to the editor. These letters are nice letters, these are exactly the opposite type of letters that I am used to seeing in various guy magazines. In fact, these are downright NICE letters. I wish people would send me letters like that.
Then, the articles begin. You have articles from decorators, short articles on making little decorations, how to introduce different themes, such as ethnic decorations, articles on places to go, with the idea that these places are Romantic places to go visit and eat, or drink, or stay. These little Romantic Places are like little one paragraph reviews of places. None of which are near me, so I cannot go to them to verify if these reviews are accurate.
You will also read little ideas for romantic treats, such as meals to serve. Everyday items worked into decorations, color schemes to use in rooms, different prints for couches, chairs, and wall paper. You'll see articles on architecture, and gardens.
Then you will finally reach articles on what appear to be the feature homes in the issue. Of course, most of these homes are clearly owned by the very well off. These featured homes tend to include the longest articles, and have the most pictures, pictures of room after room accompany these articles. Romantic Homes is a very visual magazine.
What I do find odd, is the complete lack of pictures of people in these rooms. It is as if these romantic homes are all done up nice and clean, then someone with a camera breaks in and takes pictures of everything. After discussing this with the one who I must be romantic for, it was decided that people only take away from the rooms. They would get in the way and block what the room is trying to portray. I suppose my idea, that either people are not considered Romantic, or they were real ugly, and therefore shouldn't be in the magazine, was completely wrong.
Romantic Homes has these short little inserts on pages which give you tips on how to create some decoration, or perhaps is a book review or restaurant review. These short few paragraphs should not be missed for those who like to decorate with little Knick Knacks.
You can also purchase decorating books through Romantic Homes. In fact, you can purchase a lot of things by getting this magazine, as it is full of advertisements. And not a single ad smells. It's a wonderful thing.
Favorite things about Romantic Homes?
The Where To Find It section. Many things pictured in the magazine are listed for where to buy them. This is a good thing, as I hate it when I see something in a magazine then have to search and search, then forget about it, and never find something I want. Now I can get my trickling water moongate fountain from henfeathers.com, and I can have a "simply serene audible presentation."
Then I have to go find out more about the Romantic Bedroom, a guy has got to have his priorities straight.
