oh sad day


I just got word that my favorite magazine got the boot, and I am devastated. Not only had I just renewed my subscription, but I have saved every issue I have ever received and still refer back to each issue for decorating ideas and inspiration. It has been my decor bible for the last several years. DOMINO how can you leave me? We had such a good thing going. I feel so rejected and empty.

In the farewell letter from the editor, she said the following:

We started with a real idea—that style is for everyone—and tried to carry it out with stories that provide inspiration and empower you to act on it. From your tremendous response, we know that we were onto something. In this tough economy, however, we simply weren't able to get the advertising support we needed. As domino evolved, we never lost sight of our original democratic premise. Looking back at the manifesto we published in the premiere issue, the first tenet of domino is still the truest: Home should make you happy. We hope we have played a part in making this come true for you.

Oh domino, you will be missed.

Amen sister. This is a HUGE disappointment for me. I mark mine up like scriptures. They are holy after all.
