Home Typography Tuesday

For those of you who are just joining me today, every Tuesday I combine my ridiculous love of typography and decor in a post named "Home Type Tuesday"! I scour my favorite shelter mags and blogs for images that combine my two loves. Today's image continues the theme of yesterday's post in "Design With What You Have'! We all have our favorite magazine covers and you know you have a stack of saved Dominos just collecting dust in the corner so why not show off those puppies with a little creative display? This is a good example of going all out for a big impact. The magazine covers and book spines are what take center stage here not any other little collectibles . So go ahead use the typography you have in your own house to create an interesting corner without spending a dime! Plus its a good looking storage solution! A double win in my book!

 

I hope to see you back next Tuesday for another Home Type Tuesday post! In the meantime jump over to Casa Sugar and vote RUE as your favorite online shelter magazine after all they are the fabulous people who supplied the above image! Thanks RUE girls for the inspiration!

Do you RUE? I know I do!

This is your official invitation to join us for a tweet chat Sunday night 8pm EST with the RUE Magazine Editors. This is an opportunity to talk directly to Crystal and Anne, how exciting is that? You can't say that about other shelter magazines can you? So use this opportunity to hear the answer to the question you have been dying to ask! Knowing the RUE girls like I do, they will be so grateful to all who show up I bet they will slip us a sneak peak or 2 of the next issue! I for one am so excited and getting my questions together now. So grab your wine, select a comfy spot and meet your friends over on twitter Sunday night, I promise it is sure to be a lively conversation!

 

If you want to relive the gorgeous styling of Issue #1 pop over here! 

What do you say, will you be joining in on the party Sunday?!

The RUE Launch Party

The first invitation I received for my NYC trip was to the RUE launch party at the New York Design Center. This was one event I was determined not to miss. I was so excited for all that Crystal had achieved in just a few short months in launching RUE, that I needed to be there and show my support. She had a vision, gathered the best team of people she could find and went forth with such determination that it was enviable. Her enthusiasm in bringing the best most approachable online design magazine to all of us decor lovers is admirable, not to mention she lived on very few hours of sleep to do so! Thanks to the New York Design Center ladies and the Century Furniture Showroom, they know how to throw one great party!

I finally had the opportunity to meet the hilarious Joy and Janet (aka the Moggitgirls) in person!

The gorgeous RUE ladies and Alix from NYDC

The beautiful founder (and great friend) Crystal of RUE!

The entire night was too fantastic for words and it felt like one big reunion as I met all the people I talk to daily through the blog and twitter! The design community we have all created through social media is one of the most inspiring and supportive group of people I have ever known!

My new friend RUE (Magazine)

It's a BIG day in the world of online design magazines as today is the day RUE unveils their premiere issue. I am a bit biased as the Editor in Chief is my great friend Crystal! Remember a few months ago when I went to NYC? Well it was partly to show my support to this lovely lady! She is super talented with a keen design eye for what is right now and a knack for bringing creative people together! If you let me I will continue to gush over all the goodness the magazine has like gorgeous rooms, tons of "easy to use in your own home" tips and articles which are quick to read and full of inspiring content. It fills the void that Domino left but in an even better way, it feels as if Crystal is right in my living room, sharing a cup of tea and chatting about good design. Take a flip through right here for yourself, I bet you will have a new friend in RUE too! Enjoy!

What is your favorite article or photo is the new RUE?

Are you ready for Rue Magazine?

You know when you have a good friend who is on the verge of something amazing and all you want to do is support them and yell it from the rooftops? Well that is what I am about to do!! One of my greatest blogging friends Crystal is about to give birth to a bouncing magazine named "RUE"! Isn't that name fantastic? It will be an "online interiors and lifestyle publication" full of inspiration and items to make our lives uniquely our own! LOVE IT!! If that was not enough her partners are the uber creatives Anne, Caitlin and Alaina.

We will have to wait until September for the launch but for now hop over to their website, friend them on Facebook and follow along as they tweet. Later this week I will be meeting Anne and Crystal in NYC for a bit of celebrating and could not be more excited! Let's all wish them well as we "Root for Rue"!
