rita konig's mantel

How beautiful is this polaroid photo collage above Rita Konig’s fireplace? I scanned in these two images from the October 2008 Domino editorial of her Manhattan apartment. What an interesting + inexpensive way to adorn a mantel. Ms. Konig is a creative genius, no? If I had a fireplace to doll up, I think I'd do the same thing!

did you hear the good news?!

Women’s Wear Daily reports that Deborah Needleman, the former Domino Editor-In-Chief and newly appointed editor of WSJ’s Saturday lifestyle section, has brought even more women from Domino to work with her in this new endeavor. This includes Ruth Altchek, Domino’s former editorial projects director and features editor, Sarah Ruffin Costello, the magazine’s former creative director, and Rita Konig! Deborah brought Lauren Goodman, Domino’s former fashion director, on board about a month ago. Is this not the most exciting news you’ve heard in years?! Even though it won’t be quite the same, I can’t wait to have my Domino team working together again. This collaboration is going to yield great things… I just know it! :)

I love this candy-colored living room by interior designer Ames Ingram. Many of you might recall Ames from her chic spread in the February 2008 issue of Domino (how could you forget those cute little dinosaur figurines on her dining room table?). This living room seems to epitomize L.A. style – so airy, fresh and bright. And I can’t get enough of pink walls these days (remember Hamish Bowles' apartment?). Pink is the new black, if I do say so myself :)
