My Husband is very understanding about the piles of magazines I have laying around the house. In fact my home would seem a lot less cluttered if it weren't for the magazines stuffed in every nook and cranny. I am sure you design addicts out there know exactly what I am talking about. But.... whenever I am working on a new project and need some inspiration or just an idea on how to treat a certain area I turn to my trusted old friends, my magazines.
I was trying to find some ideas for a Neutral living room, that had an European old world feel. I pulled out a stack of my old Southern Accents. This is what I ran across in my January-February 2002 edition, this wonderful home done by designer Dan Carithers.
Aren't theses rooms beautiful? Some homes are timeless no matter how long ago they were done. So glad I kept that old pile of magazines. How about you? Do you keep stacks of back issues of your favorite magazines and if so, how far back do they go? How long before the designs in them are out dated?
