No More Domino

dv

=( i just died a little inside

Rosemary

Ah! Me too! When Blueprint closed, my only consolation was “At least I still have Domino.”

:(

Thank god I saved all those issues!

Brooke

Please, say it isn’t so-I hadn’t heard! I am so disappointed!!!! That was my favorite magazine-at least I saved all my issues.

M

I will pay you a small fortune for your Domino collection! I’ve only started collecting recently and eBay has proven to be a terrible source for Domino past issues.

i suwannee

M, i have two of most issues. email me, we can talk.

Alta Marie

Totally devastated. Do you think that they’ll maintain their online presence?

.amanda.

their website is great! I am always going there for inspiration!

ugh, ugh, ugh!

josh (in wonderland)

—sigh—

i just ordered a subscription recently, and haven’t even begun to get them yet. i wonder what will become of my order.

i’m really not worried about the $10—but rather about losing a good magazine.

kelly

UGH. I have every issue and my blueprints too. I’m so sad to see it go. Now I only get one magazine delivered. Poo!!

JuliaL

What! The Domino Site gone too?! The magazine was bad enough, but this is just… I don’t even have the words! What about my deco file?! This can’t be happening…

Kerry

It’s depressing to think that a small (and cheap!) little pleasure is being taken away. *sigh* Anyone have any ideas for a similar magazine out there?

Christine

Your shelf looks so familiar.. I’ve got my Blueprints and Dominos all lined up with many folded corners and paper scraps poking out.

Sad day.

Stacy

Two great magazines – so sad to see them go. I am not a huge magazine person to begin with – but these two were exceptions. Thank goodness for blogs like yours to keep my creative juices flowing!

Nicholle

That IS a disappointment. However, I will use this as weight in the argument (with my wife) to keep my back issues of Interior Living, Dwell, and Architectural Digest. She thinks I’m insane to keep stacks of old magazines (and she’s an architect!).

Kerry

This really is a bummer — Blueprint . . . ah, what memories!

Jennae @ Green Your Decor

I know! I LOVED Domino! Blueprint too. This is a sad day for the magazine business :(

Katrina Doe Parker

This is insanity! I was so thrilled when those two mags came on the scene because the US was due for some really great interior/style design mags. I had a subscription to BOTH & now all I have are Elle Decoration & Living, Etc. but they’re both out of the UK so I have to buy them in the store. (Don’t even get me started on Elle Decor, which, in my opinion, is quite sub-par compared to the rest.) We have a subscription to Dwell but, although it’s great in it’s own right, it’s no Domino or Blueprint.

I am truly devastated.

Natalie M.

NO! I hadn’t heard, and now I’m heartbroken.

Deidre

Couldn’t they at least ween us off by continuing to post the website? And, what’s going to happen to My Deco file?! Sooo distressing.

Amanda Elizabeth

oh man! your shelf looks very similar to mine, I think I need a support group for my “no longer published” magazine collection :( Cottage Living just sent me a letter saying that what was left of my subscription is now Country Living, any ideas what subscribers will get instead? When Jane went under I got glamour, talk about awkward!!! :(

Alison

Hi there … just found your blog, and I just wanted to say I think it’s really great … oh and I totally loved Blueprint and Domino, too — I was crushed when I heard the news. If Lucky folds, I think I might have a stroke. Anyway, looking forward to reading!

Jennifer

I’m thouroughly heart broken over this. We just got our new house. Where am I going to look for inspirations?

Kristin

I should have seen this coming! My subscriptions are dying off faster than the dinosaurs!

Ali

Seriously, this is such a bummer.

tammy

I’m sorry, I think this may be my fault… I just FINALLY got a subscription to Domino instead of just buying it at Borders. Last year it was Blueprint, and the year before that, Martha Stewart Kids.

I am a magazine albatross.

Claire

I mourn with you…sad! But congrats on having the entire collection!

marcy wacker

uggh. this has been all over the blogosphere the past couple of days and while i am so sad, i’m not surprised. along with the rest of you i was devastated by the demise of blueprint and cottage living (plus h&g and country home…etc.) what’s next?

CariAnn

What are we going to do?!!!! It’s nice to have a network that feels the same way I do. No one really understands how sad this is but bloggers like all of you.

Mandy

I just subscribed to as a xmas present to myself – I am still awaiting my first issue! I am sad :(

Paula

I cried when I read this. I was an avid subscriber and collector of the decorating magazines – my hubby never understood. We lost our home to Hurricane Ike, and of course, there went my collection. We were living in the youth room at our church until we found this one bedroom apartment (which now seems enormous). I promised him no home magazines until we got “home”, though I have been hitting the websites and bookmarking ideas. Guess I better get him out of the house and start printing what I can. I am thrilled to have found your website!

amychristina

what?! why am i only hearing of this now…? boo. i’ve been so happy w/my subscription!

Asia

Does anyone know where I can get back issues of Domino? I’ve only started collecting them!

Christina

Totally sad. When Cottage Living folded they sent me a letter telling me I’ll get Sunset as a replacement. Haven’t received my first copy yet, though. I have heard rumors that Lucky will replace Domino; I stopped my subscription to Lucky about 2 years ago because I thought all the models and the fashion felt the same every month.

Domino is the best! This breaks my heart. I have all the issues staring with Spring/Summer 2005, and I go back to them all the time. Where there issues before that one?

Kelly

Nicole, you should write a blog post dedicated to magazines: how you store them in your own home, what you love to read and collect now, and what you used to read/collect in younger days. Your photography is always inspiring. Then us blog readers and lurkers (me!) can discuss via comments what we’re reading now, and going to read given all the closings. I need some new ideas, getting pretty tired of the same old same old.

kacia

Hi Nicole!

I’m a frequent peruser of your blog – it’s great! I admire your taste, your perserverance (redoing a home is TEDIOUS, albeit fun), and your business savvy!

I live in DC and actually came across a little feature on your Periodic Table of Sentiments cards in the Washington Express today. I’m not sure if you knew of this and I wanted to let you know! I can scan it and send it to you – I looked for an email address but couldn’t find one. They’re looking very cute and witty!

salley

i feel the same, and will now look more and more to blogs for my inspiration.
first heartbreak, for me, was the closing of budget living. then blueprint. then cottage living. now this!
i have to question what it is about the demographic buying these magazines that makes them fold- are we generally lower wealth and its harder to attract advertisers? i know the industry is having a hard time generally but it seems like every, litterally every, magazine i like ends up folding. (it probably didnt help that i read budget living for free at the library…)

Courtey

I feel sick! i LOVe this magazine! I have never thrown away an issue and I really like throwing things out too!

Misti of Studio M Designs

So sad about Domino, mine too are heavily bookmarked. Country Home will go after March, I believe, and Mary Engelbreit too, I can’t keep up with them all!

I have to say… I have read many blogs, but yours is by far the coolest looking blog I have seen. What an awesome job on the design. My favorite is the “so so” photo layout, very sharp!

Have a great week!
