In Memoriam Week: Domino

This week I'm taking a little blogging break of sorts....I'm just too slammed, to be honest.  Here's my week-at-a-glance:  (by the way, have you ever seen Martha's month-at-a-glance at the beginning of her magazine?  Are you kidding me?  And the crazy thing is--I bet she actually completes that list.)


+ get the house clean.  I mean really clean (dust under chairs, wipe baseboards, touch-up paint that matchbox cars have scratched in the kitchen, etc.) because the shoot is the 29th and 30th!!  I can't wait, but if you saw this home at the moment you would laugh at me if I told you BH & G was coming in two weeks.  (Anyone live in Atlanta and want to help me out?  Come on over.  I have wine....and strong coffee...and popsicles.)

+ get the Rue article finished.  One down, one to go.

+ work on design boards with Anisa for a client  (for kitchen, mudroom, dining room, hallway, master bedroom, master bathroom, living room, outdoor terrace living area, basement/ downstairs living room, front exterior.  Of course I am thrilled to be working on this!!!  but this is a lot of work.

+ cook for Thanksgiving feast for the boys' mothers morning out party this Thursday.

+ cook for our own Thanksgiving--we will be going to my mother-in-law's lake house at Lake Lanier next week.

+ work on finalizing the paperwork & architect plans for our Airstream barn/ cottage in our backyard.


I guess like Cher says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead."

So here is my segue to honoring those magazines who have passed away.  I want to share some of my favorite images from the magazine holy trinity--Domino, Cottage Living, and Country Home.

        
                                            Let's begin the week with Domino......

Definitely ahead of its time.  The simple subway tiles laid in a herringbone pattern, the pops of robins' egg blue in the pendants, shelf brackets and plates.  The wall-mounted oil-rubbed bronze faucet, the long & modern cabinet pulls and the eco-friendly dishwasher (wash 1/2 a load or a full load if you wish to conserve water and energy).  And how Julia Child of them to install a utilitarian and beautiful pot rack and coffee cups hooks under the bottom shelf?!  Love it in all its fantastic glory.

Have a great Monday!  Julie
