Where can I find lots of examples of CURRENT transitional decorat

17 years ago

For the past 2 years I have been focused on the design and building of our new home. We have held off buying any new furniture because we wanted to be in the home first.

I know that my style is transitional; it hasn't changed in 30 years. While focusing on the architecture and design of the home, I basically stopped looking at decorating books and magazines because I was so busy. This past week I went to Borders to buy some magazines for inspiration, but I couldn't find any that really spoke to me. I wound up buying Elle Decor, British House Beautiful, BH&G Beautiful Homes and Color Style.

I was really surprised that I couldn't find much because there has been so much written in the popular press lately about the transitional style (as if it were something new!) that I just assumed there must be a few magazines that focused on this style.

To those of you who follow the trade more closely, what magazines, web sites, or other resources would you recommend? I have been out of the loop for a while, and would really like to catch up on 2-3 years in 2-3 weeks!

My house is Arts and Crafts inspired and has an open floor plan. My immediate focus is a great room which includes areas for family/TV/relaxing and a dining room.

Thanks for any suggestions.
