I’m looking for a particular issue that was published between 1990 & 1994. (I think) The cover featured a vibrantly-colored attic space that had been finished as something of a retreat / gameroom. The family was African American and collected African art.
I realize that no one here would be willing to break up a collection for just one issue but if you could thumb through your copies and locate which issue this is I would so appreciate it.
I’ve tried the on-site index to no avail. Wouldn’t you know it that after so many years of saving the issue, I’ve lost it just as my husband has finished our attic and is asking me for paint colors. Argh!
Please email me.
Thank you!

Stef-
You'll need to provide as much info as you can about that issue. There are no covers of FHB that match that description.
As the years progressed are you positive it was a cover and not a back cover or something on the interior pages as in a 'Finishing Touch' article?
And are you absolutely sure it was in a FineHomebuilding issue and not something else?
Cheers

I remember it being the cover and that it was an article about a finished attic or over-garage space. They had gaming tables and African artwork. What I'm interested in is the colors.
I'm hoping that someone with issues onhand can just take a peek through those years and look for this room on the cover. I'm remembering jewel tones...teals...purples...
Try finding issue #64.
I don't have it but the article by Kevin Ireton about making a studio over a garage space rings a bell.
I don't know Ralph, no gaming tables or African artwork were shown there.
No vibrant colors around either.
Kinda like a needle in a haystack.

I'm wondering if a previous poster could be right... was this an oddball copy of Fine Woodworking I had onhand? Investigating further...

Not sure where you live, but if you live in a major city, you can check with your local libraries to see whether they carry either or both magazines. If so, you can then “go fishâ€. Otherwise if you’re REALLY lucky, not only will the library carry the magazines, but someone here might put you “on track†as to what mag it is & its issue #.
