Goodbye to one of my favorites

I got a notice in the mail this weekend that Cottage Living will no longer be published. I'm crushed.



I love that magazine and the aesthetic it celebrates. If any style of decor was suited to my somewhat eclectic taste in decorating, it's cottage style.



I was always excited when I found the latest issue in my mailbox, and would always read it cover to cover.



It'll be hard not to have the luxury of enjoying one of my favorite home decor magazines. I'm being switched to Southern Living for the remainder of my subscription, but it's not the same.



Very, very sad.

I just simply adore Cottage Living. I just got my latest issue today, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I love the home renovations, re-dos, and updates. The style isn’t just about lacy curtains and bead board paneling. It’s all about flea market finds, antiques, new design, green living (a cottage is usually a small, efficient home), and so much more.

Check out this article about the renovation of an Indiana log cabin. The transformation is fantastic!
