Anyhoo-<br /><br />Love the blog and I HATE that our favorite fixes are all going down. I find blogging and blog reading much more fulfilling than the recent shelter mags. Oh yea, I like HB much better than Elle Decor. Dont know why, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

And the Tuscan thing makes me groan. Even if it was Michael Smith, it was heavy and pretentious and boring.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to Lonny. Lots of Domino editors will be contributing. And each feature is suppose to be about 20 pages long.

Just got my first few issues of Met Home this week (due to the fact that 6000 credit card points can only get you a cutting board of 3 magazine subscriptions)--awful. How on earth is this attainable for me unless I have a million dollars and a design shrew on call?? I miss Domino and have to rely on HB to fulfull these needs. Not happening.<br /><br />I feel so guilty that each month I spend around 50$ on magazines.
