I keep some of them in here . . .
There are more in here . . .
A short stack over here . . .
And a few over here . . .
Of course I'm referring to my collection of magazines and I have a hunch that you have stashes of them, too. When I see a good cover, I peek inside and if there is at least one photo that makes me GASP! – I'm in.
I just picked this one up last time I was food shopping. BHG magazines are 10% off at Home Depot but I couldn't wait. It's a Best Of and being such a magazine maniac, I have many of the issues originally featuring the design idea "re-runs." Like this page (below) which completely inspired the color palette of my living room:
Lots of cool ideas I hadn't seen before, too, like this . . .
and this . . .
And here is a little hint of someplace you'll find me next month . . .
I'm too excited to say anything more just yet!

I am a magazine maniac, I have a hard time getting rid of them. I love looking through them for inspiration. I can't wait to hear your good news!
Hugs,
Kathy
yeah for magazines, I love them and I could spend many many on them, one of my favorites is Marie Claire Maison the french version, I should do a few scans sometime.
I love your pretty plates.
I love magazines, and I love clues even more...can't wait to see what the big secret is!
By the way, thanks for leaving that sweet comment on my blog. I'm still here, just busy as a bee!

Elyse!!! Thank you so much for your VERY sweet comment you just left on my Easter post!!! I think that you left your comment EXACTLY when I was getting ready to publish my new post! I will go and edit and add that! I cannot tell you how much that means to me! I was not having the best day..feeling lonely and having to call off sick for a migraine and that was just like getting a big hug! You have no idea! Thanks for being such a sweet bloggy friend. I don't mean to gush, but please know that it is all from the heart! Big (((HUGS))) to you, sweet friend!
Ohhh that was fun to see where your magazines are stashed! I have a ton of them too and always say I am going to go through and sort them but never do. I can't wait to see your surprise, I wonder if it has something to do with a magazine??

Love, love, love magazines. I try to keep them near a chair just in case I need an idea fix and inspiration for a redo! Our Joann's Fabrics was having a fixture sale so I bought 2 upright magazine stands for $10 each. I have them on an older blog post. My daughter uses one of them for her piano/music booklets. Sounds like you are featured in an upcoming magazine. If I'm right, congratulations!
Hi Elyse.. looks like we have something in common! hehehehe we collect magazines! tonnes of them and at every nook and crannies one can find! hehehehe..
and I really love you blog.. such an inspiration for me..
have a great day! take care!

Magazines are great for finding ideas and being inspired, although it does get hard after a while to find new homes for them all!
Your home is so pretty.

I have magazines all over, too. I like to look at them over and over again. The pictures can be so inspiring! :) Madeline
I love magazines! I have too many of them in my little cottage. Where to put them is the eternal question! I have that same Flea Market edition and it is full of eye candy. By the way, I haven't heard of the shop you mentioned ~ it is south of my house ~ but when I get back here for good, I'll definitely pop over there.
I love magazines too...stacks and stacks of them. Especially Somerset Studios special editions. I browse through them all the time for inspiration. I can't wait to see what you are up to!
Karen
What magazines are you drawn to? I love decorating mags, but my latest, really bad habit is the Somerset Studios magazines. I love so many of them and they are so yummy and have a price to match. Of course I keep them. I also religiously keep my Mary Engelbreits, most of the other I try to toss, but I do keep a few of the Cottage-y mags when they really appeal.
Erin :)
This is a post I can relate too, we have magazines pretty much everywhere around here. They are such an inspiration, aren't they?? Thanks so much for the visit today.
and I can't wait to see you in there!:)

Hey Elyse!
My oldest is not on spring break until next week, and he's traveling away with his Dad the entire week - so I'm starting to freak out!
Thanks for your nice comments on my shop. I feel the same way about your things. The only suggestion I have is to take notes as to what you consign, at what price. That way - you will have a record of it - and you will know what is a good seller and what is not. I'm sure you will do well. Please keep me informed! :)
PS - and yes - I have a hoard of mags too! Of course! :)
Spill it Elyse!!!!!
Where are you going? That pic is beautiful.
Sunny and cool here today.
xo Cathy
I love magazines too. They can generate so much inspiration...but it's easy to find yourself in the midst of magazine clutter. Thanks for your tips Elyse!
Janet
OMG where are you going to be, whereever it is it's going to be exciting!! I have mag's everywhere too and when I saw the one you just got I was all excited, thought ohhhhh I have to go get it then remembered I have no car today ): darn it! I can't wqait to see what your up to, I also have a surprise next month too.
Hugs~Kelly
i cut out the same photos you liked! They were so pretty!
xoxo, Tiffany
I'm so glad you found my blog because now I've found YOURS!
After editing magazines for a gazillion years, you can only imagine what my house looks like.
America is THE best place for crafters! Fabulous supplies & wonderful magazines!
I stash magazines everywhere too. I can't get enough!! If I ever need to cheer myself up, I grab my favorite magazines and start flipping through the pages. Works every time........
I have been a magazine collecter since I was a teenage in the 70's. It started with Seventeen magazine.
Now I have stacks and staches of, garden, home and craft magazines all over the house. Many are secretly hidden inside something else such as the ottoman purchased for lift the feet and hiding my mags!
This is one of those "I'm not alone" moments after seeing everyone's else's confessions of magazine collecting!
The Cottage Girl
I have the same magazine problem. I bet you aren't surprised. I love seeing pics of peoples decorating books so I can check out the titles and see what I'm missing. I will check out that magazine for sure.
Great post. Love the bench of pots.
So excited about your news. Yipee.
Hi, again, big Sis!!
I have stashes of magazines everywhere, although I must admit that mine are not nearly as neatly tucked away in drawers as yours are. Most of mine are hiding underneath the coffee table. Bad, bad, I know!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Any great plans??
xo, Lysie
Oh!!!! I am busting at the seams here with MY PEN!! I just know it must be something fabulous!!!!
You are a kindred spirit, for sure. I have magazines everywhere. I will have to get me that new copy!! LOVE the room with the farmhouse table. Totally the colors I adore!!!
xoxo
