2 GREAT things!

Yesterday as I was coming down the escalator in Barnes & Nobles, my eyes quickly glanced at a book which read on the cover " It's Here Somewhere".....as I walked by saying that in my head I wheeled my body 180 degrees back to that book. That book that I so almost easily passed (had it not been for the title ringing in my head my WHOLE entire life growing up) was my mother's :) *smiles* Barnes & Noble has just republished it again but in hardback & with a more updated look. If you are ever in need of some quick and easy how to's about organizing...this book is it! It has lots of visuals (half of which are from my home in Washington state where I grew up) Plus it's at a great price of only $6.98 *fantastic* !!! Now onto the second item that im goggy over :) DOMINO !!! Finally a magazine about design but with a different twist. Their "mantra" [taken from the editors letter] is to "Hook me up." Don't just show me a nice console table; suggest unexpected mirrors that might look great hanging above it. Don't just offer me a selection of gorgeous wallpapers; give me ideas about where to hang them etc. Deborah Needleman [Editor in Chief] goes on to say that they believe style is for everyone *here here!!!* And that at Domino they want to provide inspiration and make sure you can act on it! Well let me just say that my couple hours I had to pour over Domino last night gave me so many ideas of what to do with our place but also the confidence to actually put "my" ideas into action. Can't wait for next months issue!

yeah sweet huh!:) she and her co/author wrote it about 16 years ago and it was published in softback and then forever you could only get it on Amazon I believe and then Barnes & Noble asked if they could republish it in hardback. So they did & it just came on shelves about 2 months ago... :)
