Living etc and Elle Decor UK are my favorites. I subscribed to Living etc for a year, but it was just too expensive and I couldn't justify renewing. Now I just buy it occasionally at the bookstore...

buhbis - it's actually charcoal gray and cream and not really a zebra pattern. It's by Angela Adams and the style is Mammy. It's no longer available on her site. I got it years ago and I think it ...
