Still In Style: Flipping Through 20 Years of Design Magazines

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

What does a 2007 issue of Domino have in common with a room you'd design today? More than you'd think.

In this episode, I dig through a stack of old design magazines — Domino, Flea Market Style, House Beautiful, Veranda, and Country Living, spanning 2007 to 2019 — and ask the question I find myself returning to constantly: what still holds up?

We talk suzanis, suzanis (yes, still), the case for painting all four walls instead of just one, why the humble breakfast nook deserves a comeback, and what the best white kitchens actually have in common. I share my ongoing plinth hunt, make a confession about Country Living being my Bible in the late '90s, and make a gentle but firm plea for the death of the accent wall.

If you've got a pile of old tear sheets, a half-finished vignette, or a dining room that could use some bookshelves — this one's for you.

In this episode:

• What Domino got right about sustainability back in 2007
• Minimalism vs. maximalism — and why neither is ever really "out"
• The case for the jewel box room (powder rooms, butler's pantries, and going all out in small spaces)
• Layered window treatments, bed canopies, and other things that keep coming back around
• Why I think the accent wall's days are numbered
• Treating your kitchen and bathroom like actual rooms
