Which Do You Love Most?

If you're anything like me (and I know you are...), you're thoroughly addicted to home and decor magazines. Being a semi-sensible girl, I allow myself two or three a month (of course, that's in addition to my subscription to Canadian House & Home, a gift from my boyfriend).


I love getting my subscription in the mail each month (and hey, it's cheaper), but what I also love is walking down to a drugstore a few blocks from my office (especially on days when goings on at the office are a little dreary), and seeing what new magazines are in. I just love those three blocks of anticipation! I look through the cooking magazines (especially Cooking Light), and then I flip through Real Simple, and usually end up browsing through Domino, one of my favorites for getting me out of my box and reminding me that I am young and alive and need some antlers for my bedroom and a hot pink bathroom with a chandelier. Oh, and that I need to travel abroad more often to acquire weird, wacky stuff.

I do adore Domino for perking up my tired soul. But generally, I leave the store with one of the following trio in hand: Traditional Home, House Beautiful, or Beautiful Homes. I like the classics and these magazines whisper sweet nothings to my soul! I think my favorite is Beautiful Homes, because I love reading the featured home stories, and all the houses are insanely gorgeous. Although the colour palettes in House Beautiful are often so fresh and to-die-for soothing! Have you noticed this?Anyway, what I wonder is...

Which magazine(s) do you love most? Is there one that captures your style to a T? Which one makes your heart sing when you see a fresh new cover on the shelf, or in your mailbox? How many do you buy a month? Tell me everything!

P.S. I just discovered my local library has decor mags. Although they are sometimes scruffy, you can catch up on issues you may have missed...and colour photocopiers mean you can make copies of favorite things for your files before they are due back! How economical!
