Customer Reviews of Southern Accents [1-year subscription]

Plenty of European, Not Much Southern
Anyone who thinks this is representative of "Southern", is definitely not Southern. I found the flavor of the magazine to be strictly European. The two biggest points of contention were the number of advertisements and the coverage of overblown, ostentatious European decor. There are no real Southern influences on any of the interior pictorials shown. You can find a number of beautiful, understated Southern homes that have stayed true to their original decor- they are out there- just not in this particular magazine.

comfort and elegance
This is a lovely magazine, with lots of articles on Southern style and luxurious living. Every issue has "Accents", showing what is new and trendy and where to buy it; "Calendar", for events and exhibitions worth seeing, and "Educated Eye", with advice on what to look for to evaluate antique furniture, etc. if you are a serious collector.

There are features on beautiful gardens, art and museums, antiques and shopping, design and entertaining tips, but mostly it is about tasteful homes and the people who own them.
There is a relaxed atmosphere to what we see of these rooms and terraces, as if people really live in the environment, and not (as is sometimes seen in magazines of this type) that a decorator has gussied the place up for the photographer. It is friendly elegance, with grace and charm.
With six issues a year, good quality glossy paper, wonderful photography, and even some interesting ads (many from stores located in Dallas, Atlanta and New Orleans), this is a magazine I look forward to receiving.
