Domestic

As someone whose favorite shelter magazine (Domino) shut down many months ago, I had been saddened and at a loss for a replacement. While reading some older entries of design*sponge yesterday (I'm pretty behind on all of my blog readings and postings), I discovered (or was pointed to) the new online mag, Lonny. While having an online magazine is not nearly as satisfying as a physical one, the content of Lonny in quality is right up there with what Domino used to be (and basically put together by just 4 talented people). Lonny was started by those who worked on Domino and has contributors and interviews from Domino associates, so it has made me one happy reader.

I'm also super psyched that design*sponge is slated to come out with a book later this month with a bunch of DIY ideas and house tours. And all this leads to a minor announcement: I passed the co-op board! I am purchasing a co-op in Jackson Heights next month so I'm super excited to gather ideas and embark on a domestic journey.

The Nonchalant Mom

The June issue of Domino Magazine features the RI home of Carina Schott of Nonchalant Mom (I will have to shop here as soon as I produce some kids). Oh my! I want to pack up and move to Rhode Island, right away, right into her house! They have a great modernist house, good light, outdoor space, and most importantly, a POOL! It's to die for. . . Check out the tour right here.
