We love to hear what works for you. And Kirstin, we're shameless deco mag devourers (but we always remember to recycle 'em). Here are some of our favs: <br> Cottage Living House Beautiful Domino Better Homes & Gardens Elle Decor Martha Stewart Living Real Simple Coastal Living Country Home O At Home Blueprint (RIP) <br> I actually only get the first four mags in my mailbox every month, and read the rest at Barnes & Noble (a favorite place for us to chillax every other weekend for a few hours). And although John flips through the occasional Real Simple, he can't get over how every magazine above is "peppered with dresses and frilly things" and "totally meant for chicks" so he prefers the more manly Men's Health Living. Which has come out exactly once. He's still waiting for the next issue six months later. Fingers crossed... <br> xo, Sherry

I actually only get the first four mags in my mailbox every month, and read the rest at Barnes & Noble (a favorite place for us to chillax every other weekend for a few hours). And although John flips through the occasional Real Simple, he can’t get over how every magazine above is “peppered with dresses and frilly things” and “totally meant for chicks” so he prefers the more manly Men’s Health Living. Which has come out exactly once. He’s still waiting for the next issue six months later. Fingers crossed…

xo,

I hate paper plates, so when we have really big parties, we use them all I also have three or four dozen jelly jars I use as glasses for such occasions on an "everyday" basis - I use a collection of thrift store/flea market glasses. they are unique and I don;t cry when they get broken - ok, I do cry when they get broken, but then I dry my tears and go see what the local thrift store has...

But I do like the idea of having only one set of glasses. We'll see what the Mr. says. We have two dish sets – one we use everyday and the wedding china (that we are still slowly buying pieces for).

I may be forced into simpler living soon though, the house I'm buying is only 624sqft! I wish I could live like that. . . but, I’m a clutter bug through and through (I really think it’s in my genes).

What a coincidence! I've been just posting on my blog about living more simply, getting rid of things you don't love, etc. I'll tell you what, other than dealing with the whack jobs on Craigslist, it's the most freeing feeling in the world!

I am currently loving MS Living, Domino, and Cottage Living, but I would love to know what gets you running to the mailbox - do tell. This post made me wonder what other decor magazines you read.
