American "Vogue Living" Magazine
I am in love with a new interiors magazine! I have always been inspired by US Vogue, but now they have come up with special edition issues dedicated to interior decorating.
At the moment, they seem to be publishing Vogue Living twice a year. If you haven't seen this gem of a magazine, I highly recommend you pick up a copy. Editor-in-Chief, Hamish Bowles says in the current Spring/Summer 2008 edition, "In this, Vogue Living's first Spring issue, we looked no further than the season's fashion runways for the perfect inspiration. From New York to London, Paris to Milan, the collections were abloom with wallpaper florals, vibrant colour blocking and deft layering of exotic print and pattern - proof positive of the charmed symbiosis between trends in fashion and those in the home." Well said, Hamish!
His statement and the magazine perfectly echoes my own thoughts and preferred style of decorating. One only has to flick quickly through the magazine to see the wealth of colour and pattern leaping from the pages.
I love that even the index/news pages have snippets of patterns around the edges and behind the featured products. I found the whole magazine to be a candy store of inspiration (there's that word again) and my head is just buzzing with ideas for projects. I just want to dive right into the pages! To whet your appetite, here are a couple of my favourite images:
We are Helen, Chips and Rachel, partners in The Stencil Library. We design, make and sell stencils. We also teach, decorate with, eat, breathe and live with stencils. Inspiration comes from many places for us. We would like to share our inspiration and projects with you. All our stencils are designed and made in Northumberland, England. They are sent to customers worldwide.
I didn't know about this magazine, Rachel, so thanks for the tip! I am feeling the need for some inspiration, so will run out and get this magazine today. :-)
