Virtual Newstands
A little over a year ago the first virtual home decor magazine hit the web.
We all instantly fell in love with Lonny.

The new year will bring a new online magazine into the scene. High Gloss has 6 ladies behind the scenes holding court and promises to provide us with a guide for a well-lived life.

What are your thoughts on all of the magazines.
Are you loving all of the new online options available? Do you think there are now too many popping up? Do you have a favorite?
I would love to see an online magazine that provides more tips for how to build a room and gives the readers DIY projects & tips. Sort of like all of the different Better Home & Garden special publications. It would also be great to see more spreads on readers/bloggers homes. I love how Non Pareil magazine works. They reach out to contributors for story ideas that need to stick with that issues theme. Each story needs to have a DIY option and a printable template. Contributors email the editors and pitch a story, style the story, photograph it and send it in. I really think this set up could work for a home decor magazine as well.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
