I love my magazines. I love the way they sit neatly in piles on my bookshelves. I love when I get a magazine in the mail and I get to crack it open and enjoy the exhilarating process of turning the pages. But they are starting to take over! I will soon run out of space on my shelves, and I don’t want to start a new pile anywhere else – it looks right just the way it is.
I also love Pinterest, and if you click on it you will see my page. I get to ‘dog-ear’ as many ‘pages’ as I like and it doesn’t take up any extra space! This format is so different than any magazine could ever be, and while I love both, it’s the magazines that give me the biggest thrill.
But in the end, it is a space issue. So the other day I started going through my old magazines again. I start with the oldest ones and look for those dog-eared pages and rip them out. Or, as I just discovered, I could google the image and if I find it, voila, it gets pinned on my Pinterest.
Best of both worlds for sure!

Tee hee, well, that’s me in my house in the first shot, which was taken 11 years ago (!). I must confess I have probably even more mags now. Over the years and several moves I have gotten rid of about a 4ft high stack of mags every couple of years – but of course I have continued to buy more – every month. It’s just crazy. But I definitely use a lot of them. This summer another massive stack will get the boot. I don’t think I’d ever get rid of all of them.
Margot, I clipped that magazine page 11 years ago and I still love it! It reminds me of a Montreal apartment, where I grew up. So charming. And indeed, love the piles of magazines. It was my first inspiration to how I wanted my own magazines to lie. Thanks for all your inspiration over the years. And it’s nice to know I’m not the only magazine junkie!
