Letter from Chris Lee, Editor

Midwest Home has been part of Minnesota’s home and garden landscape for 15 years. As the magazine’s frequency expanded during the last decade, its franchise grew to include the Luxury Home Tour and the Twin Cities Loft & Condo Living Tour.

Yet our mission remains the same: to nurture the urge to create beautiful and functional spaces, inside and outside homes across Minnesota. With every issue, our readers tour the area’s most stylish homes and dramatic gardens, meet top designers and discover their secrets, and learn about the latest decorating and entertaining trends. Midwest Home features the work of the best shelter writers and photographers in the region.

As the only locally published shelter magazine, we know Minnesotans, and we know they love their homes and gardens. Every issue serves up a visual feast that’s smart, stylish, elegant—and practical. Because that’s the way our readers live. Midwest Home’s lush photography and award-winning pages showcase designs for Minnesota living.
