Decorating by the Book

I borrowed this book from my friend Bille and I've been busy the past few days following the steps in the book to finish decorating the apartment. {By "finish" I mean I want rugs chosen, things painted, art hung, and throw pillows committed to.} I've been spending an obscene amount of time on Craigslist the last few days too.



In case anyone was wondering, I still miss Domino Magazine.

  2. I checked this book out from the library and have spent much of the week pouring over it, wondering what I'll do in our new Boston apartment.

  4. I've been pouring over Craigslist lately too! I think it's because it's yard sale season and I keep thinking what could be.

    I have to get my hands on that book. My old Domino issues are getting too worn!

  13. I subscribed to Domino and received just one issue before the magazine went under. Devastating :(

  14. Me, too. We are slowly but surely renovating our house and I am constantly consulting the book, making inspiration boards, repurposing, etc. I've dubbed it my Domino The Book of Decorating Design Challenge and, I have to say, it's been quite helpful! Just wish I had a spare money tree to help me finish more quickly.

    GL with yours:)
