Goodbye Domino

In the words of one of my favorite peeps, Tom Petty, "Don't do me like that". This sentiment is of course directed towards the suits at Conde Nast. I know by now that everyone has heard the news. Today I just I want to have a pity party so please indulge me. I know that so many people are hurting right now (including the staff of the Domino) and that times are tough and I have NO reason to be feeling sorry for myself, but I am blue.
When Cottage Living shut down I was depressed. A magazine that I LOVED was gone. Now Domino, my all time favorite. Sure there are others, many that I love too, but I never saw myself more than in Domino (CL too). I love the homes in House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Elle Decor, etc. but my home may never get to the point that it looks like that, and if it does it will be YEARS from now.


Some things have a more direct impact on your career than others, this magazine was one of those things. I know this sounds dramatic but it is true. It shaped a lot of what I do and was an amazing release for my funky side. One of my long term goals was to make into Domino somehow.

I know all industries are hurting, and design/decorating is no different. Things are changing and it is a tough time to be in this field. The best thing for me lately was the discovery of the design blog world and all the people who are going through the same things as me. I am so grateful to have found y'all.

With that said, reading things on the internet, even the Domino website, is not the same as reading a magazine. For me, I would take a magazine any day. I don't understand why all these magazines are folding, (I know WHY, I just can't comprehend it), isn't there something we can do?

Any ideas on where I am going to go now to get my young, funky, fun, eclectic fix?
To find rooms with as much unique character as this....

(To try to pick my favorite images would be impossible and due to time constraints I wasn't able to really go through and pick out the best examples of the magazine, although this was one of my favorites)....
This image seen in my favorite article from Domino basically sums up my love for the magazine..
Thank you Domino staff for all the wonderful issues you brought us, you will be missed!
