WHAT a relief to find a shelter title with relevant ideas, accessible content, and modern (and not the frigid kind) of design! I feel for all of you US gals still missing your domino (although online mag Lonny magazine is certainly a fab new web source!), but here in the UK we have a glossy chock full of ideas: Livingetc. Here are a few to keep you salivating, but if you see this title in your bookshop I suggest splurging (if you're in the US). It's well worth the import surcharge.
My fave section? "Upcycling etc." Why? Plenty of "faux real" worthy DIYs. Here's a sampling from the November issue in which the eds revamp the ubiquitous four-legged pine table transformed into a...
...bathroom table (complete with tiles!), inspired writing desk...
...kitchen table or cute console table.
