One of my favorite guilty pleasures IS my LOVE of DECORATING magazine!
When I did the big purge to get the house ready to sell…I had to come to terms with my MAGAZINE hoarding problem. I had hundreds AND HUNDREDS of issues of magazines…
once upon a time – we were even in a magazine!!!! Family Circle PAGE 36-40

I took an entire weekend – pouring over each issue and making sure there was not a page flagged or marked for future use. As I flipped page after page – and watched colors come and go and witnessed trends and the “INS” and “OUTS” – what became abundantly clear was how important ACCESSORIES AND STYING is to decorating.
