The Death of Domino

The last issue of Domino magazine is on its way with a parting note from the PR staff. Nothing liked being dumped by your favorite magazine. While it feels like a break up, I guess it is really just one of those sad sad casualities of the recession. Some people speculate that all the design magazines are going under because of all the design blogs. I can't really wrap my head around this as the design blogs I read all subscribe to Domino magazine. I mean, Domino was it - the design altar we all go in times of need and inspiration. It was so refreshing to have a magazine that we frugal flea market finds hand-me-down furniture kinda bohemian types could relate to. My husband teases me about how sad I am about the loss of this magazine. Like, I don't know, maybe it says something about how little there is going on in my life. Whatever. Really, if I was running for Congress and not at home blogging and raising a really cute newborn, I'd be upset. Probably, I will savor the last issue while curled up in bed with a cup of tea during my son's naptime. When I am finished, I will probably go straight to Amazon and order the Domino book of Decorating, and then let time heal the wound.
