Now that In Style Home is gone, along with House and Garden, it seems there is a void. Blogs seem to be taking up the slack, but what is it about holding a book or a magazine in your hands?
The list of top North American decor magazines still alive includes, Domino, of course; O at Home (the Nate Berkus story); Elle (getting all the leavings); Metropolitan Home; Veranda (old school); Arch Digest (even older); House Beautiful (trying to be on trend). There are regional spin-offs around such as Western Interiors; Shelter; New Orleans Home, and the Canadian House and Home, which I have never actually held in my hands (they don't answer my e-mails about the cost of a subscription in the USA). Of course there are the romantic mags, the best being Country Living; MS Living; Trad Home, but all those other cottage and coast ones are icky.
So thank god for the blogs. I can almost reach out and touch....
Hi. I live in the US and have been subscribing to Canadian House & Home since 2001. A digital-only subscription is $25.95 Canadian dollars, print-only subscription is $59.95 Canadian dollars, or both a digital and print subscription is $65.95 Canadian. As of today, $1 buy $1.02 Canadian. Depending on your credit card company, they may charge you a little bit for the currency exchange. I have both but I would say their digital version is excellent. It's a terrific magazine.
ReplyDeleteI live in Canada. For $5.95 you can pick up an issue of Canadian House and Home. (24 issues @ $44.95and 12 issues @ $24.95.)One magazine that I've been subscribing to for yearS is: STYLE AT HOME. It is a fantastic magazine! For an issue, the cost is $4.95, or for an one full year subscription (12 issues) @ $23.95. I Particularly love that they feature a 'high/low' page, where one room is virtually dressed the same way but there is a vast difference in price range. (Very beneficial to those on a budget.) Also featured is a 'source listing' for products available on the retail market here in Canada. (Easier on the pocket-book as Shipping Fees are cheaper and there is no Intl. Duty to pay.)
