House of Fifty



   I recently found House of Fifty an e-magazine while researching interiors. The magazine cover definitely caught my eye. Honestly, the inside is full of great decorating tips sure to help both the novice decorator and the seasoned pro. Janell Beals, founding editor, decided to create House of Fifty as she was going to be turning fifty (the new fifty looks great - by the way!). She didn't want to think her best years were behind her and wanted to create her own opportunities. I think the magazine is pure genius!

     Not only does it offer helpful decorating tips, they have articles from contributors about entertaining, fashion and much more.Though we don't have kids, one of my favorite articles is "Decorating with Children's Art".  They have included how to do so and shown pictures. Trust me, this isn't the same old display on the fridge. They have been framed and....well, you'll just have to check it out yourself here.

  Another favorite article is about creating an eclectic room. I remember hearing Nate Berkus say that you should decorate by using things you love - not that they necessarily make sense together. When you do that, your room will be stylish. This article shows you how to mix those items together for a pulled together look.



  Be sure to check out the first two editions here. The next issue is scheduled for October. Can't wait until October for more? Then, sign up for their blog!
Enjoy your day..........
