Addiction to Magazines

Date night for the Hubs & I

is

~Borders~

I go to the magazine rack and grab all the

latest issues of all things decorating

 he grabs a book

we meet upstairs...

I get a latte ....

He gets coffee.. black

We stay until the place closes

What can I say

I'm a cheap date

Most of the time I don't buy a magazine unless it has
so many perfect rooms in it that I have to
take it home and dream

Well as it turns out I was taking home too many ...

as this article reads I also needed a

~clean slate~

I found a lot of this magazine

and this one..

This is a favorite blogger of mine

Brooke

from Velvet & Linen

 can you imagine your home being on the cover?

WOW

So I went through all my baskets

under the counter where I keep my newly acquired magazines

that need to be read again and ...

~whoa~
 I had too many

I fear this is an addiction

Does anyone else have this problem?

I started organizing them

 got out all the magazines

from everywhere in the house

I was overwhelmed...

I loved some of these, wanted them near me

I couldn't throw any away

~I tried~

So I got  magazine holders

that would have them sitting all pretty

and upright in one place

so that at any given moment

~I could dream away~

Here are some of my favorites

I still have the magazine that holds my all time favorite Kitchen

~Designer Kitchens & Bath book V11~

I love this one so much I have to say it again

This is the magazine that made me recogonize

what my favorite style is

I loved this one so much that I tried to subscribe

It was hard to find out anything about this magazine

I finally figured it out, it was a Better Homes brand so I emailed them

they said you can't subscribe and it only comes out

twice a year..grrrrrrr

This whole piling up of magazines around my home

could be solved in the next few years though..

I guess so many shelter mags are on their way out

paired down to a few they say...

The online mags are going to be the

future

or

I have looked at these and liked but not

~loved~

like my favorites that I can touch and feel and drool all over

and could never be able to

~toss~

The other day I read Joni's blog

Cote de Texas
She is an amzaing teacher
of all things design
she had a post on
~magazines~
where there was lots of research done
and beautiful pictures that kept me
~captivated~
check it out if you have the time
it's a great read

I appreciate online mags, I just happen to be one that

takes forever to jump into this 21st century

full of all things techie..

Besides what would happen to

~date night~
