I am so disappointed to see Domino go away.

I rely on it as an interior designer and a twenty-something house renovator. When the US's House and Garden went under, Domino was the only good thing to come out of it. I think Conde Nast (the publisher) should reevaluate.Natural Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821066697485198516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-35158719629920661032009-02-02T12:07:00.000+10:002009-02-02T12:07:00.000+10:00OMG Anna - this is awfully terribly sad news...

I share your sentiment with our Australian mags..I would hate to have any of the great Australian home & garden lifestyle mags face closure. Just in the fashion & furniture industry there are already so many of my friends looking for new jobs as clothing wholesalers and decoator items/ furniture wholesalers hutring with the majors like Domayne (Harvey Norman group) hitting it hard<BR/>As at 31 Jan 09 - SMH.com.au reported '... with 163 Harvey Norman stores, 16 upmarket Domayne stores and 15 lowest-tier Joyce Mayne stores at the end of June. Of these, about 20 per cent were loss-making, he said. "We have some other [stores] on the books to close as well," Mr Harvey said yesterday.<BR/><BR/>I just really hope tis economic ripple effect can stay mostly over the Atlantic and not cross the Pacific too much...<BR/>Take care, <BR/>Sarah <BR/><BR/>palatialliving.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955337094736678628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-10116060217561112009-02-01T19:43:00.000+10:002009-02-01T19:43:00.000+10:00Let's hope our Australian magazine don't fall to t...Let's hope our Australian magazine don't fall to the same fate :( Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592230048043163319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-50243311660629131332009-01-31T12:36:00.000+10:002009-01-31T12:36:00.000+10:00Truly heartbreaking.

I eagerly awaited my subscription each month in New York. It has been a great relief from these stressful times. Two hours to myself on the couch, devoted to the escape that is dreaming about my next home. I invested countless hours in My Deco File (with many Absolutely Beautiful Things images!), planning my country home. I am sorry this great resource will no longer be available to us.<b>Jen Catto</b>https://www.blogger.com/profile/02681737483139552031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-81912195816579396612009-01-31T11:57:00.000+10:002009-01-31T11:57:00.000+10:00I am totally surprised...

The worst thing is, I finally prompted myself to start subscribing to Domino late last year and only ever received 2 issues - which I so-looked-forward-to! The second darnest thing is that I'm getting abit more serious about home decor etc these days because we are going to start building our house soon. Just when I need more reference than ever!!! Thank goodness I am faithful to Real Living :) ...and I also stalk a few blogs in my free time, so *~ HELLO there inspiring bloggers who have given me so much eye candy and wisdom ~* And Anna, your blog is bar far one of the loveliest, so is your shop though I've spent more time admiring your shop window than actually going in (except for the one time when i picked up the porcelain owl). Keep up the loveliness!

I have always thought of Domino (and other great mags) as a required part of my design business, and would gladly have paid what they were worth vs. seeing them go the way of the dinosaur.
