Shelter Magazines
Your Favorite Shelter Magazine
The biggest headline in the interior design industry this year came early when at the end of January Conde Nast's beloved decorating glossy Domino folded. Founded by Deborah Needleman as a "guide to living with style," the magazine resonated with busy, style-conscious young women looking for new and unique ways to decorate their homes. But despite the crowds of readers, the publisher reported that Domino's ad revenues couldn't keep up with its expenses in the down economy.
Gift Guide: Shelter Magazine Subscriptions
Christmas is next week! I'm sure a lot of us are in "Yikes!" mode trying to get our shopping lists checked off.
Check Out the New Issue of Lonny!
The December issue of Lonny magazine is hot off the web presses today and online for viewing.
Lonny is in the running in my Best of 2009 poll for Favorite Shelter Magazine, so if you haven't already, go vote for Lonny or another mag that you love. I adored the first issue of the magazine, which was launched this Fall by former Domino editor Michelle Adams.
It's All Clear to Me
Here's a post from OnSugar blog FotoFlat:
I've had to get rid of a lot of crap since the epic downsizing of our living room began, and I have learned to let go of the back issues of magazines. Except for my Dominos and Blueprints. Never let go, Jack!
Best of 2009: What's Your Favorite Shelter Magazine This Year?
This year we said goodbye to Metropolitan Home, Craft, and Domino, three of my favorite shelter magazines, and many that aren't closing shop are still teetering. With shelter magazines folding left and right, this is a tough category, but there's still plenty of great content out there. We did welcome Dwell's new DIY magazine, Make It Yours, and a new, very Domino-esque online shelter mag, Lonny.
Metropolitan Home Folds
Another one bites the dust. Hachette Filipacchi Media announced today that it will fold Metropolitan Home with its December issue. The company plans to focus its efforts on its other shelter glossy, Elle Decor.
ELLE Decor Gears Up For the Launch of Style and Substance
It's a big month for ELLE Decor. Not only is it the magazine's 20th anniversary, but Oct. 28 marks the official launch of the new book Style and Substance: The Best of Elle Decor, written by editor-in-chief Margaret Russell (below).
Guess Which Magazine This Photo Starred In?
This charming photo, shot by Laura Resen, starred as the cover image for one of my favorite magazines. Can you guess the mag?
Casa Quickie: Archive Your Magazines
I've been stockpiling shelter magazines since before I had my own apartment to decorate. But as my beloved pubs continue to fold (RIP House & Garden and Domino), I want to protect my issues more than ever.
I was delighted to learn of a magazine binding service offered by Denver Bookbinding to aid my archiving efforts.
This Just In: Dwell Launches New DIY Magazine
Dwell is one of my favorite shelter magazines, in part for providing informative, thoughtful, and succinct editorial and in part for showcasing coveted modern homes. But since I'm not on the house hunt or looking to make any architectural renovations, for me it's mostly a leisure read. When it comes to DIY projects, I tend to head to ReadyMade or read websites like Craftzine.
