SPECIAL SECTION 2007

Premise

Living Magazine is all about educating the consumer. With a successful 2006 behind us, we are developing a blueprint featuring the home building/improvement industry for 2007. Like the medical section, we want to define the homebuilding process for those seeking quality with uniqueness in their home. With the ever-increasing demands on our distribution area and our surrounding communities it’s important to work with reputable, quality companies and contractors. Relationships between our homes and our families are unique ones.
Mission

Our Home Building/Improvement section starts in this issue throughout 2007 filled with stories, questions and answers from experts in this field, latest industry changes, plus decorating trends. Our goal is to fulfill the desire of our readers who are wanting to build a new home or remodel. Whether in an established neighborhood, out in the country or in our hometown. Organizing, painting, landscaping, new products, this is only the start!

Targeted Audience Living Magazine covers Ellis County, Waxahachie, Ennis, Midlothian, Red Oak, Ovilla, Palmer, Navarro County, Corsicana, and some southern Dallas County cities, like Duncanville, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, plus much more.
