Dwell magazine

The past two months worth of Dwell have been at the gym on the magazine rack.  I had never heard of the publication before, but boy-o-boy do I love it.  What's their tagline?  [quick search] Ah, there it is: At home in the modern world.  Anyway, it features eco-friendly home design, modern interiors, simple architecture, and loads of inspiring photographs.  I want to subscribe.

I like a mix of things, so I don't know as I'd ever have a totally modern, sparse house like some of those featured.  But the point is that the ideas are wonderful and they are a springboard for creating something.  I'm noticing that when I get inspired, its usually over something less traditional, something with simple lines and few frills.  They're the things that make me do a double take anyway.  I've said this lately, but I am definitely less Southern Living, and more Sunset.  Sheesh.  Magazines on the brain, I guess.

Great things from dwell that caught my eye today:
heath ceramics (which I'd read about in another mag awhile back...neat story of the husband/ wife team that owns the company)

I totally just found this magazine this week. Ha, "totally" where did that come from? Anyway, I thought the same thing...cool looks, not exactly a whole house worth of what I'd want but love the clean, minimalist inspiration.

I've never heard of that magazine before, but I also love Sunset.

Of those links, I love the metal tiles, the American clay and the ceramics, but not as much the dollhouse or the highchair, but probably because I don't have children.

It's kind of funny how our tastes change over time, isn't it? Sounds very cool. At least you found something nice to look at at the gym.
