As a proud member of the small-space living crowd, I had the mag-lover's equivalent of a mental breakdown when domino folded almost a year ago. Famous for its "More Dash Than Cash" (thanks, British Vogue) mentality, domino created a niche that other mags have yet to adopt in quite the same way. And as I sat in my long, skinny office nook tying a purple scarf around an otherwise ordinary pillow, I thought today would be perfect for such a topic.
In honour of all that is tiny, here's looking [back] at you, kid.

How luxe is Michelle Adams' (former domino marketing assistant and the brains behind Rubie Green—hence the fab textiles) black, yellow, and white Manhattan bedroom? And see for yourself how much attention to little details like symmetry and a posh new sofa uplift and extend actress Rashida Jones' NYC living room.
But part of looking back means moving forward as well. In that spirit, check out the efforts of South Carolina-based Charleston HOME magazine. To set the scene, Charleston is a place full of palatial, Old South-style gems. In the new issue, the mag covers one couple who didn't move into the manor, but into the carriage house instead. Peruse these photos then click over to story here for how they did it.
