I am an unrepentant magazine junkie. I have more magazine subscriptions than I can count on my hands and I love it! It’s great to get something other than bills in the mail and it’s also an affordable treat that lasts for a year.
One of the only magazines that both my husband and I enjoy equally is Dwell . If you’ve never checked it out, you really should. At dwell.com you’ll see that they are a modern residential architecture and design magazine and website, and they hold an annual conference (Dwell on Design). Their tagline is “At Home in the Modern World.”
So maybe you’re thinking that you’re not that into residential architecture and design. The thing is that this magazine is beautiful and thought-provoking and there is something in it for everyone. I quote from their Fruit Bowl Manifesto:
“At Dwell, we’re staging a minor revolution. We think that it’s possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.”
Would you like to get something other than bills in the mail? Well, Dwell is offering one of my lucky readers a free one year subscription (10 issues) to their magazine.

Don’t dwell on it, just enter!

Aw, I was a magazine junkie, too. I just realized yesterday that
currently I am the only member in our family with exactly 0
subscriptions. That’s not right…

I am a magazine junkie as well. I subscribe to Victoria, InStyle, Body
and Soul, Realm and Entertainment Weekly. I used to get Architectural
Digest but I got bored. Dwell looks amazing. Full of eye candy I bet.
Count me in!

I’m all in! I would love to look at homes I can’t afford – yet! Good
to have something to cut out fabulous homes to put on a vision board.

Ooh, I’m always looking for neat new magazines. I totally devour them
and then I end up using them to make cards for people until there is
just about nothing left!
