one of the best parts about the collective was their philosophy: Domino’s Manifesto It’s really all about the domino people isn’t is? hopefully they’ll be out passing on their talents on blogs and other forums. This had to be from the marie antoinette shoot they did at alder manor: This was the reader’s choice winner (above) Kelly wearstler’s before and after kitchen is easy to do Things can be even more simple if you get rid of some ahem, accessories you don’t need. The above is do die for gorgeous but you can break it down, most are simple looks to achieve is what i’m sayingĪnd lots of this is easy to do with fleamarket finds i know you have great stuff and can whip up curtains and pillows in an hour, not to mention thrift and flea… i hope that the if mags are going we’re gonna see a lot more of each other’s homes. it’s definitely inspiring me to work on my photography eye. something about domino’s style is completely recognizable, and accessible. but they always have a sense of humor and aren’t stuffy like every single other magazine.Ĭollecting these pics got me really studying the angles of the shot, the perspective and seeing that you don’t have to include everything at once. What is it that made domino so inspiring (i think) is that each place is shot so beautifully, with the right angle and light, and a perfectionist stylist plumping the pillows perfectly. her own designs are classic monochromatic but luckily her alter ego went to work and let domino be bold and whimsical, playful and luscious. these shots are of her apartment as featured in the ny times. having editor deborah needleman’s impeccable point of view obviously helped. it’s hard to believe they only put out 28 issues and made such an impression but going through these images i really see why. Not to mention inspiration for as long as you can click. i’d actually never been before and was incredible to dive into so many layers from the galleries, before and after projects, their blog and columnists, approachable decorators and real people at home. I went to their website, glad it’s still up, knowing it will all disappear at any moment. (can you believe it was the absolute last photo i found)? i spent an hour looking for the shot of the pink daybed, and ended up hypnotized by the sheer magnitude of such a beautiful body of work.

I’m not sure why the domino mag closing really got to me. Only EVeRy single THiNg! and conde nast has no clue.
