Domino Subscribers - Here are your options

Posted by Mr Wong at 1:19 PM 0

Follow this link to a list of CondeNast Magazines. Once you pick a magazine call them up and tell them you're a Domino subscriber. If you don't call and select a magazine, you will automatically receive Architectural Digest. I'm not sure what I'm going to opt for -- Cookie has great homes, but I'm without offspring, maybe Vogue or Vanity Fair? Thoughts?

I go through a novel a week commuting to and from work on the train, and I usually procure my literary enjoyment through Barnes and Noble. Little did I know they had such an extensive collection of home decor and small furniture goods until they sent me an email announcing their 20% off spring sale on their home collection. It's worth a look if you need things for your home office and or library.

Love these mini white vases

the very cool invisible bookshelf

I have a retro minimalist clock similar to this and I love it

This interesting vase/bowl/platform is called liquid cardboard - is recycled and recyclable, and you can shape it.

Fun design style quiz!

Posted by Mr Wong at 1:05 PM 0

So, Amana has unveiled some new options when it comes to my most often used kitchen appliance - the refrigerator. They even managed to pull in Thom Filicia on some of their designs. This quiz is actually really fun because they give you a little personality assessment after you've ordered 10 fridges from most favorite to least. So, what's your prognosis?

Go to http://www.amanacolor.com to take the quiz ...here's how easy it is to take it - just drag and drop:

Here are my results:

My first choice was the brocade fridge...to which I got the response:

"Impeccable taste. Rich, warm and welcoming – and sometimes a little nutty. You put home and hearth first, valuing what’s on the inside. Not wanting to be eaten up by other people’s needs, you hide your inner softness beneath a slightly rough exterior. Or we’ve confused you with a brownie. In which case your inside is fudgy, too."

This is pretty close to me...I'll have to confirm with my manfriend.

My second choice was "twilight," which means:
"Calm and soothing with a touch of grace and elegance. This perfectly describes both your personality and CD collection. Never a note or pair of socks out of place, you express yourself most vividly with a slightly raised eyebrow. Friends often wonder how you maintain your cool in all circumstances. We suspect large quantities of dark chocolate."

hmmm...this is how I wish I could be...

Oh yeah, it's not just the first fridge you pick that dictates your personality - I tested it!

When will spring be here for good??! I can't take much more of this winter. These images make me look forward to warmer weather even more!

Love the long media console

I'm a fan of gray couches - it means you can change your colors around a little more.

...gorgeous hardwood floors

I've been having a rough day and battling a cold all week, so I felt like some gratuitous pretty interiors were in order. This collection is brought to you by none other than Ms. Stewart.

Gorgeous old country kitchen. Look at those counter tops!

I have rectangular cubby shelves on either side of my bed as nightstands and they're super handy.

great DIY project - fabric-covered magnetic boards. How-to here.

Cute ribbon display shelves! How to here.

Danish home decor - what do you think?

Nostalgi Fyn is a Danish home decor company, and while they feature a lot of white (surprise, surprise) - they also feature goods in rich, dark colors - even black! What do you think? Do you like em?

The red accents really makes this bedroom crisp

They also sell scarves and jewelry

These office accessories are really cute - I'm afraid I'd never be able to discipline myself to choose just one pattern...

I love quilts and have been begging my mom to take up quilt making for years! I would love to have one made out of fabrics from our clothes, curtains, sheets, and linens.
