Enjoying the last day of the long summer weekend. 

Reading the paper, coffee and finally flipping through some old magazines. 

I came across this spectacular outdoor living space in the June issue of  Canadian House and Home. 

I could not help but start to think about our dream home and what is might look like. 

Looking forward to future posts over this next few weeks as I begin to dream and plan. 

It reminds me to finally start subscriptions for some of my favorite magazines. Instead of the regular trips to the news stand where I ended up with more then I need, I have finally edited the list, and will get all of my favorites. Total cost is more $220 for about 2 years of all the US Editions, and one year of the international ones!

What an inexpensive way to inspire....Here is the list :

Elle Decor

Domino

Vogue Living Australia  ( a splurge )

Cottage Living ( this is a new find...and a treasure )

Canadian House and Home

Vogue

Elle

Harpers Bazaar

British Vogue ( my second splurge )

Junior

Cookie

Us ( my guilty pleasure )

Vanity Fair ( for the plane )
