Milwaukee Home and Fine Living was a glossy full-color magazine. It was launched in 2004.[1][2] During the initial years it was published on a bimonthly basis.[3] Journal Communications, Inc. acquired the magazine from Trails Media Group in February 2007[4] and switched its frequency to monthly.[3]

Articles cover local residential design trends, with a focus on local professional talent in the industry. The magazine claimed circulation of 19,500 copies distributed in Southeastern Wisconsin. The editor was Robert Bundy.[3] The magazine was closed in 2010.[3]

In 2004 the magazine won two major national FOLIO awards: a gold Eddie for editorial Regional Shelter coverage, and a silver Ozzie for Best Design of a New Magazine.[5]

Milwaukee Home and Fine Living reported on philosophies and trends that are driving the residential design movements in Greater Milwaukee. This might have included a home that exemplifies a particular decorating or architectural style, or a profile of a local shop owner, artisan or designer. To be considered, all products, homes, gardens, experts and artisans, etc., featured in the magazine must have had a local connection or be available locally.

Milwaukee Home and Fine Living published a free monthly e-newsletter, featuring a sneak peek of the upcoming issue, editors' picks of local home and fine living events, recipes from some of the area's restaurants, and performing arts previews.
