lots of great blogs and site suggestions here. i applaud the plethora of design indulgences found on the internet! i get some of the deserving recommendations, but don't fully understand others. For example, i sincerely can not wrap my head around the success of _desire to inspire_ as a "guilty pleasure". I don't see it as a big-league site especially since it has a "fast food" approach to design blogging: a rehashing website essentially copying & pasteing a collage of designer images - kim and jo take the credit for a blog full of reposted photos. It lacks the substance, content, workmanship and creativity found with so many other design bloggers who invest lots of time posting much more intelligent "meaty" articles full of information, insight, research, imagination and of course, the inspirational photos we all so covet (design sponge is a fitting example). mostly, i - alike many others - dont get the pets on furniture segment... seems like a lazy monday blog filler, especially for a site with two contributors! explain again how a hairless toy chihuahua perched on an eames chair invokes a desire to inspire?

I'm with the consensus here regarding the offensive response to the mao fixture. undoubtedly, art is supposed to push emotive boundaries and provoke controversy, but not when it is glorifying a part of history that - as an act of evil - caused such heinous destruction to humanity. we can think of countless hypothetical pieces of art that would seriously offend, so why stir up such irrevocable pain and upset? this is an historical symbol of an era of wrath; I decided to show this space to friends of mine who are survivors of mao's terroristic reign and, to no surprise, they gasped in disappointment and disgust as they remembered this heinous vile mass murderer and the reign of complete fear, terror and death he damned on their country, their people. Do we really need to continue to hurt people in the name of (shock) art? Regardless of niche's (et al) softened perspective of mao and his "cultural revolution", no person of this calibre of sin should be immortalized and idolized, warhol-style, high up above us on a focal living room wall, and by choice no less!! sadly, it's quite telling about who this person, Lauren, really is... who we are collectively as we continue to choose to endorse another design "trend" of offensive, immoral and ignorant taste. Where is the universal awareness, the ethical boundaries and moral discretion in design? we all have global responsibilities and important conscientious choices to make in life. Unfortunately, in the name of vogue decor, AT has selfishly chosen, yet again, to completely disregard any concern for other peoples' feelings and emotions, by posting and sharing this controversial space containing an appalling symbol of unspeakable crime, hate and evil.

I side with the Canadian magazines: very simply, they have the best shelter design selection. Canadians innately know style. Maybe it's the remarkable landscapes and inspiring seasons, who knows, but they got it. What Is Your Go To Foreign Shelter Magazine? | Apartment Therapy DC |
