By the time you read this, hopefully the buds will have begun to break through and the worst of winter will be over. It’s been a long one. We withstood wicked storms and cancelled photo shoots, dug out our cars and braved bad roads. We said goodbye to our former editor-in-chief, Beth Hitchcock, with heartfelt thanks and best wishes as she welcomes exciting new challenges. Lucky for us, our amazing editorial team carried on to produce this beautiful issue. It’s so gratifying to know that House & Home’s bench is strong, filled with talented editors, stylists, writers and graphic designers. In fact, seldom does a week go by when someone doesn’t tell me about their great experience shooting or taping with our crews. I love hearing it. If you sense a new…

Eleanor Codner, our former controller at H&H Media, succumbed to cancer last December. The best loved of any H&H alumni, Eleanor was a truly selfless, generous person who helped me through those daunting early years, teaching me how to read a balance sheet and manage our costs, until together we saw the business grow and flourish. Eleanor’s husband, Doug, was kind enough to tell me that even on her worst day here, she still enjoyed H&H more than her best day working anywhere else. Our hearts are with Doug and their children, Michael and Kristin. A woman of great faith, I have no doubt that Eleanor is resting in peace.…

I have subscribed to your magazine for more than 20 years, and I love H&H. However, I can count on one, possibly two hands, the number of times you have featured homes from Halifax, Nova Scotia or the Maritimes. I was delighted to receive your March 2019 edition with the cover depicting the kitchen in an old Halifax home. I understand why you would feature many homes from Toronto and Vancouver, but here’s hoping this marks the beginning of a new trend of showing more beautiful homes with distinct style from Atlantic Canada! — LORI PATTERSON, Bedford, N.S. I loved the blend of old and new in Lindsay Cameron Wilson’s kitchen (“My Favourite Room,” March) — it might be my favourite kitchen ever featured in H&H! I wish you’d shown more of…
