Noooooooooooooooo
The internet is abuzz with the news. Our beloved Cottage Living just folded. Needless to say we’re doing the ugly cry here at Young House Love.
It has since been mentioned by Gawker and Shelterrific (among many other places) so we’re beginning to think it’s true. Who knew just days ago that when we posted this picture of Burger enjoying my Cottage Living we’d so quickly be mentioning their magazine again… this time under much sadder circumstances. We will miss you Cottage Living.
And those Domino rumors better not be true…

As an editor/writer for three shelter publications, I’m beyond upset about this news! What am I going to do without my free office subscriptions to CL and O at Home? And if Domino goes down, I’ll die. So sad.
Are you kidding?!! I love Cottage Living.
Domino, Cottage Living and O At Home are the only magazines I buy.
They always cancel the shows and stop running the magazines I like. Why me?! :)
I just heard this this morning, too.
I’m devastated. This was my favorite magazine of all.
WHAT!! NO!!! That’s my favorite mag. And Domino is a close second. Life will end as I know it. :(
P.S. Love the blog!
You’ve got to be freakin kidding me. Those are THE only subscriptions i bother with. No bother now i guess.
no, no, no, lalalalalalala, I’m not listening!! They can’t take away my Cottage Living!! Now my day is ruined!!
OMG, if this is true… I will seriously be CRUSHED. Cottage Living is by far my FAVORITE magazine… I never throw out an issue (for years). Please let someone come save Cottage Living. Please!
I responded to the thread on the Cottage Living Community page asking when the last issue would be released, and Rex (the online editor) said that the Nov/Dec issue was the last one! So we have to go cold turkey!
I’ve never read Cottage Living but Domino is bar none my favorite magazine. I subscribe to many, but it’s the only one I save every copy of, read cover to cover, anticipate arrival, etc. I just mentioned the rumor to my coworker to which she replied, “What’s Domino?” (Part of the problem, I guess.) I’ll be crossing my fingers.
Oh, no! I was hoping for a gift subscription to Cottage Living for Christmas…guess that will not be happening. That is disappointing about all three of these. :-(
I’ve been a Cottage Living subscriber for the last two years at least and I was wondering what was up when they took the mag down to 8 issues. I’m beyond bummed.
Wow, that’s not good. I, like everyone else here, will miss those mags. Depressing.
I only just started subscribing to Domino too… I’m only on the 3rd issue! I love that magazine… Though the plus side will likely be more traffic for fab blogs like yours!
This is NOT good news. I feel like crying. I don’t even have a cottage, but I LOVE Cottage Living. Ugh
Check it out — Media Life Magazine (medialifemagazine.com) did a whole article about the closing of Cottage Living today: http://www.medialifemagazine.com/artman2/publish/Magazines_22/Time_Inc_shuts_door_on_Cottage_Living.asp.
…And they just happened to quote an article I wrote for them about the launch of Cottage Living four years ago. ;-)
i don’t know whether to continue with my plan & subscribe to domino (to single handedly save its future existence of course) or keep status quo–continue buying it religiously every month at the airport Hudson News. I would be even more heart broken if i was 2 months into a subscription.
(usually there’s nothing but happiness from this site…what’s with all the doom & gloom???)
Ok, so there’s good news and there’s bad news. Bad news first: another reliable NY source said she heard that Domino announced internally last Friday that they’re folding. But the good news is that when I emailed a very very very senior editor (actually the editor in chief at another shelter mag who happens to be a friend of a friend) and asked if Domino was donzo she replied “honey, not in this lifetime.”
She makes a great point. I mean their readership is off the charts, so it would be Twilight Zone indeed if the rumors are true. Fingers crossed…

I am sooo upset- nothing made me happier than snuggling on my couch with some tea and cookies and reading my “Cottage Living”. I loved that they featured houses that looked like they could be real.
boohoo
I know it’s super sad right? Fingers crossed that we get to keep all of our existing favorite mags and maybe even get a great big stack of new ones next year when the economy picks up (I hope I hope I hope).

Sherry
If this is true, my heart will be truly broken…
