Domino is Dead.

Read about it here.

I have been worried about it since early October in my post here.

I liked it because it was different than Vogue Living or Elle Decor or House Beautiful. It was young and had a fresh point of view.

I love the Domino Book of Decorating and am glad I've saved every issue of the magazine. I found something of inspiration in every issue.

Here are a few of my favorite images (from today, actually):

I have been obsessing this week over the yellow wallpaper and green doors. Love the contrast.
Jenna Lyons' living room.

Allison Sarofim's bath. Next time I redo a bath, it's going to look like this.

Sara Ruffin Costello's kitchen.

I left out the rest of the Jenna Lyons photos that I loved from November. But you can visit them here if you need to.

So long, Domino. It was nice knowing you.

    I really am very upset over this. I saw it coming but that doesn't make it easier.

    I hope Elle D. and House B. don't follow...

    Don't even think that about Elle Decor, it's the only one I really love.

    Bitches better not touch elle decor. It's the only affordable magazine left that I like.

    That Jenna Lyons spread was one of my faves. Oh, and Fawn Galli.

    I guess I am going to miss the Big D.

    If Paul like World of Interiors, I'm about to shell out for that one, too.

    Jenna Lyons' living room (actually the whole house) was one of my all-time favorite spreads in domino (or any shelter mag for that matter)....so sad.

    I'm still heartbroken over this, and have kept every issue as well...perhaps I'll arrange them in some sort of shrine. tribute.
