Antique Bird Prints
I love this mixed media image I scanned from an old copy of Town and Country magazine. I have always admired these antiquarian prints from The Natural History of Birds, by Eleazar Albin, published between 1731 and 1738. These large scale hand-colored antique bird prints are favored by decoupage artist John Derian. When reproduced and laser printed they make wonderful trays.

Plaid Rooms | Architectural Digest
A couple with three teenage sons looked to Elissa Cullman to make their new house in Colorado ski country cozy but not clichéd. The “mountainy theme-park look, with antlers everywhere,” as the homeowner puts it, was not going to work. For the main living area of the attached barn, Cullman devised a fresh Western look with a jolt of color provided by red tartan sofas. (June 2010) Photo: David O. Marlow
“I think of my home as my showplace,” says Glasgow art dealer Anthony Ferrie, but, he adds, “comfort can never be secondary.” He outfitted his bedroom in a blue-and-white palette (he finds the two colors very restful); the plaid curtains and regal framed prints lend the space a cosseted atmosphere.

Babysitting for Peanuts
I wish I knew more about the history of this fascinating vintage photo from Life magazine showing an elephant nursemaid pushing a baby carriage. Were they running away to join the circus? via

Steve Jobs’s Genius ----- A Fascinating Article
Jobs’s sensibility was more editorial than inventive.
“I’ll know it when I see it,” he said.
If you want to save yourself some time and money, read the 1,000 word review of Steve Jobs's authorized biography in The New Yorker. It's absolutely fascinating. Steve's wife deserves a medal.

New Online Design Magazines
type='html'>Online decorating magazines seem to be a growing sector, starting with the success of Lonny.
There are a couple of new ones that you might want to check out. The first one is Adore Home, which is an Australian online magazine. The content is a bit thin for the first issue, but it looks like it has potential.
The second one is Rue Magazine. This one is huge (over 200 pages). The first issue has a large section devoted to design blogs. This one seems really exciting if they can keep up the content.
