Editor's letter

From House to Home.

If the thought of installing new faucets and light fixtures seems doable, but the idea of hanging drywall has you breaking out in hives, then FirstHome is for you. On the pages of this magazine we bring you real-life decorating: a mix of what’s stylish and what’s new, whether it’s family hand-me-downs or the occasional gotta-have-it splurge.

In your first home, we know that you may be rolling up your sleeves and getting ready to do things yourself, but that you’re not afraid to call in the style brigade for help. Perhaps your paint job didn’t go according to plan, or that new crown molding you installed just isn’t staying up!

But amid all the repairs, the decorating and the trips to Home Depot and Lowe’s, we didn’t forget that FirstHomers like to have a little fun. Check out our easy-to-throw (and inexpensive) dinner party ideas, whether you’re in the middle of a renovation or in the mood for a celebration.

Because at FirstHome, one thing is for certain: Style is not defined by dollars and cents. This is your guide to Atlanta’s best resources for decorating, shopping and remodeling – YOUR home, YOUR way. Let FirstHome serve as your compass.
