Magazine Therapy

I have an uncontrolled passion for magazines. I get about 6 or 7 a month thanks to designer discounts and I read them from cover to cover. I don't like to put them away on the off chance I need to find a photo shoot I am interested in plus I like the the way they look all stacked up. My current favorites are Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home and Architectural Digest for high end ideas. For fun and young do-it-yourself ideas I like Domino. I have about every issue of Country Living since the early 80's...I know, it's a sickness. I love the mini rods I found on rejuvenationhardware.com for $6.00
I always have a stack of magazines on my nightstand...if I read too much late at night my mind gets going and I can't sleep. I found this painted glass lamp at emiliejaynes one afternoon.


I am running out of places to put them, but I thought they filled a spot nicely on my newly painted dresser that I have had for 20 plus years. I love the turquoise and I did it all with 2 cans of spray paint and 1 can of laquer!


This has nothing to do with magazines but I thought my new Oscar dress deserved some face time. I love the exposed shoulders and hot pink and red print. I matted it with handmade ricepaper. Thanks to Kelly we all looked fabulous on the Red Carpet.
