From My Very Tall Stack of Magazines: July, August, and September 2010

July/August

I like this clever scrapbooking idea from Martha Stewart Living. Use the map from your summer vacation to make envelopes, photo corners, and other scrapbooking supplies.It's an inexpensive and creative way to embellish the photographs from your recent travels and most people will already have a map left over.

In the July/August issue of House Beautiful there are great examples of living big in small spaces. One is the studio apartment of designer Ellen O'Neill where she used a neutral color palette and clever furniture arrangement to make more of her small space. One example is her custom made daybed which serves as both seating and a bed and helps define the living space. On the other end of the spectrum is the wildly colorful one-bedroom apartment of David Kaihoi and his family. The rich purple walls, vibrant red closet, and tattered pink wallpapered bedroom are a far cry from Ellen O'Neill's restrained color palette. However, both Kaihoi and O'Neill admit to carefully editing their possessions to keep their petite apartments from feeling cluttered and claustrophobic.
