Former Domino Editor Launches Online Decorating Magazine
As shelter magazines fold left and right, some new blood joins the cast. Michelle Adams, former Domino market editor and founder of über-chic eco fabric and bedding shop Rubie Green — read my interview with her here — is launching Lonny magazine, an online-only decorating and lifestyle publication.
The magazine, due to launch in October, will follow a traditional magazine format on an online platform, directly connecting readers to products and resources with the click of a mouse.

What's Your Favorite Shelter Magazine in 2008?
This year we said goodbye to Home, O at Home, and Cottage Living, and many of those shelter mags that aren't closing shop are still teetering. With shelter magazines folding left and right, this is a tough category, but there's still plenty of great content out there. So tell me, which is your fave?
Casa Query: What Do You Think About Shelter Magazines?
Casa's local paper, the SF Chronicle, just reported on the recent pruning of the once-flourishing shelter magazine market. With the losses of House and Garden and Blueprint, some readers are definitely in mourning (if the numerous comments on our posts were any indication). The Chronicle article points out several possible factors for the folding of the mags, including the housing crisis and the rising preference for DIY design.
Your Favorite Shelter Magazine of 2008
As part of our Best of 2008 polls, you named Domino your favorite shelter magazine. I'm with you on the love there: Domino is always in the know about the latest trends and wows me with hip furnishings for every room in the house. This glossy really bridges the gap between fashion and interiors, and is chock full of affordable pieces and inspiring house tours.
Casa Quickie: Archive Your Magazines
I've been stockpiling shelter magazines since before I had my own apartment to decorate. But as my beloved pubs continue to fold (RIP House & Garden and Domino), I want to protect my issues more than ever.
I was delighted to learn of a magazine binding service offered by Denver Bookbinding to aid my archiving efforts.
Open House: Magazine Hoarding
I heart magazines. I heart and star and rainbow and unicorn them. Especially shelter magazines.
DIY: Cereal Box Magazine Holder
With a spare roll of decorative paper from Paper Source, and a stale box of cereal taking up space in my pantry, I attempted a little DIY project this weekend. You know how I love my shelter magazines and all of my paper projects. So I decided to make a magazine holder out of my cereal box, which would have otherwise made its way to the trash bin.
This Just In: Home Magazine Folds
Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. has announced that it will pull the plug on its struggling shelter magazine, Home, due to "sharp declines in the 'mid-market home sector'," according to the Wall Street Journal. Home will join the ranks of fellow folded shelter titles, Conde Nast's House & Garden and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's Blueprint.
This Just In: Domino to Close
You'd better sit down for this. I came across some terrible news today that has sent me into shelter-mag mourning. Condé Nast has decided to fold its prize decorating magazine, Domino, just two weeks after sending in Senior Vice President Bill Wackermann to increase ad sales.
This Just In: Dwell Launches New DIY Magazine
Dwell is one of my favorite shelter magazines, in part for providing informative, thoughtful, and succinct editorial and in part for showcasing coveted modern homes. But since I'm not on the house hunt or looking to make any architectural renovations, for me it's mostly a leisure read. When it comes to DIY projects, I tend to head to ReadyMade or read websites like Craftzine.
