One of my favorite things to do is read at magazines. I look for ideas that are affordable, simple and fresh.
I don’t want to buy new stuff, I want ideas on how to use the stuff that I already have.
Here are several changes that I made using what I had with ideas from magazines.

What do you see when you look at your magazines? I hope this helps you use what you already have.

I would like to know why I wasn’t invited to that party up there! That punch looks delish!
I’m going to start looking at my magazines in a whole new way thanks to this post. Love it all!
What fun and inspirational pictures, Debbie! Of course your PB inspired bedroom is my favorite … although … wait … love the bottles, too! You are beyond talented, sweet friend!
Debbie,
Love this post…..I thought your inspiration were the magazine covers! Thanks so much for inspiring me today!

Hi Debbie, I’m crazy over magazines, too. And have kept way too many of them and yet have such a difficult time tossing them. Recently, I’ve been buying them for NookColor and I’m loving that they can be handy for years and not collect dust. My favorite of your photos on this post is the party beside the water. The colors are outstanding.
Happy New Year,
Helen
You’re always so smart and clever Debbie! I have a huge stack of magazines in my craft room. Gonna go dig them up now!
I still love magazines, too. I can’t throw them out. Some are 12 or 13 years old and I see different things in them each time I open them. Funny how I keep so many – even moved them across many states several times. Cute post, Debbie – as always.
Such awesomeness. I especially love how you put it all together. You are too talented for OUR own good. 🙂
Debbie, AMAZING magazine worthy pictures!!! LOVE THEM! You did an incredible job taking inspiration from some of the best magazines!!!! You rock!
I LOVE THIS! You turned your photos into online magazines! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Totally copycatting this idea in the near future 🙂
And you always do an amazing job! I am so glad you put them in one post. I had forgotten a few of these and they brought back smiles. Thanks for the mention too Debbie. I pinned this earlier before I even came to see it, because I loved loved loved the colorful picture.
Feels like a challenge is blowing in soon.

Wow Debbie I love them all. The colored bottles with flowers are something my house needs to give some pop of color since it is now winter and grey outside. I am off to start doing some pinning with this post! Happy 2013!!!
Fabulous post Debbie – I love your magazine worthy photos!
I really love that party inspiration from Pottery Barn Debbie.
It looks really festive.
Great post Debbie…luv that PB cover:)
Blessings,
Linda
Wow, you are truly talented! Love how you made your own “magazine cover”!!
I love it! I like some of your arrangements even better than the inspiration!
Debbie….I love all of them, but had not seen the one with the gorgeous painted bottles…that’s my favorite I think!
