Dwell: It’s a home thing

A couple of posts ago when I spoke about my visions for a room of my own, I mentioned that I’ve become one of those people who looks at home magazines.   It would, however, be more accurate to say that I have become one of those people who looks at one particular home magazine:   Dwell

I love this magazine.  They often focus on small spaces and clean, open floor plans.   This month’s issue is all about the newest innovation in prefab housing, and almost everything they promote is environmentally sound.

Give me almost anything in Dwell.
