Spring is here!

Remember these?  A blast from the past art project with crepe paper.  But so pretty when done a la Martha Stewart- see her website for how-to details!

Moss, Black And Cream

I would've liked a darker shade on this lamp but otherwise one of my favorite color schemes

Perhaps...needs a dash of color such a bouquet of orange and some greenery.

Aubergine Love- part deux

Continuing with my love of Aubergine- an inviting rich color.  I am contemplating walls....

But the following pieces also add that warmth.

From Crate and Barrel-- the Tess Chair:

From Sur La Table---Le Creuset:

From Anthropologie this floor covering:

And because I loved "The Artist" and that entire time period- this mirrored dresser which I have been coveting:

Conde Nast Brings Back Domino Magazine ... Sort of....

An issue from Domino's original run

Conde Nast is bringing its much-missed shelter magazine, Domino, back to print.

It won't be a full-fledged relaunch in the style of Conde siblings Vanity Fair, which quit print in 1936 and came back in 1983, or House & Garden, which shut down in 1993, returned in 1996 and closed again in 2007. Rather, Domino is coming back as a newsstand-only special called "Domino Quick Fixes," a thick $10.99 standalone that Conde plans to sell on newsstands from mid-April through mid-July, the company said today. A second special edition of Domino is slated for next fall.

Like most newsstand specials, Domino Quick Fixes will carry fewer ad pages than a regular monthly magazine would. The Conde Nast Media Group will soon pitch advertisers on the issue. Also like many newsstand specials, Domino Quick Fixes will comprise a mixture of new and previously published content.

The original Domino published from 2005 through 2009, when it fell victim to the recession. Its 10 issues in 2008 averaged paid and verified circulation of nearly 1.1 million, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The magazine topped Media Industry Newsletter's poll of readers' most-missed magazines in May 2010.
