DIY He Said, She Said: Our Renovation Column Returns

If this magazine cover looks familiar, you’ve probably already noticed that the second installment of our “He Said, She Said” column in Do It Yourself Magazine is now on newsstands.

Seeing it again was just as exciting as the first time we tackled decorating disputes from both sides of the gender divide. This issue gave us the opportunity to answer even more reader questions with a two-page spread, and we were thrilled to work with a professional illustrator who helped realize one of our floor-plan suggestions. It felt a bit like providing directions to a police sketch artist — but much less sinister and a lot more about proportions, like “let’s make the coffee table slightly larger.”

If you want your guy-vs-girl decorating dilemma considered for a future column, submit your question as a comment on this post for a chance to be selected by our editor. Including a “before” photo hosted on a site like Flickr is welcome but not required. Your space might even be the room we illustrate professionally next time—fun for everyone involved.
