Loved seeing the handiwork of Heather Chadduck, Fran Keenan, and Anne Turner Carroll to name only a few of the great talents that worked for CL not to mention the lovely homes featured. Lindsay Bierman has wisely corralled some of that talent under the SL umbrella. But still not the same.mrs.

Now it's mostly ads and not anywhere near as interesting. Just like the debacle with 'Gourmet' magazine.<br /><br />I was shocked to find out with AD that you have to pay a $25,000 dollar submittal fee just to SEE if MAYBE they will choose your home - and that doesn't even guarantee it.<br /><br />The images you chose from Cottage Living are timeless - they still look fresh even though it's ten years later - THAT was a great interior designer's work on those pages!Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-41818832011063588352014-02-12T12:30:21.600-06:002014-02-12T12:30:21.600-06:00Not a fan of the new Domino.

Those images from Cottage Living certainly do have staying power. Ikat pillows even back then! I don't think any of the rooms look "safe" either - which shows that classic doesn't have to mean boring.Laura@JourneyChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666125309714547644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-29532904137680022232014-02-12T12:14:54.373-06:002014-02-12T12:14:54.373-06:00I miss Cottage Living, too.
