I don’t know…it is beyond me…Domino, Cottage Living, Cookie and now Met Home – I just renewed my subcription too!!!!
What? I just subscribed. Like a month ago. GAH.
Your response is what I wanted to post on my blog about this. I just don’t get it.
I choose to fixate on the number of golf magazines out there. There are TOO many…and I’m a golfer! There is no way we need Golf, Golf Monthly, Golf Week, Golf for Women, Women & Golf, Golf Digest, Golf World, Golf Tips, Golf Illustrated, Green, Links…the list goes on. It’s completely stupid how saturated some markets are. But, I guess you can stick a person on a golf course, take some pictures, and have a magazine while shelter mags require some actual content that’s unique.
It’s looking pretty grim. Do you know for which publication I now receive “Luxe”? I wouldn’t wipe my butt with it — please make it stop! LOL I just miss Domino so much I could cry. xoxo
Oh no, this has been a staple interiors magazine of mine for, forever! And I constantly use the online imagery. Too bad. Too too bad.
Hmmm. Maybe it’s me but I got very bored with Metropolitan Home quite some time ago. It might be that their approach to contemporary style was too all or nothing to be applicable to most homes. The immediate and devoted following of Domino speaks to the fact that more and more folks are creating homes that are funky twists on traditional or contemporary design, something Met. Home never really acknowledged in their magazine.
There is always Dwell.
Whow. What’s next? Elle Decor? House Beautiful?
I do not understand why niche shelter mags continue to exist while the bigguns keep on failing.
What’s next Architectural Digest?!
Also, Jeannine, I think Golf for Women folded. Much to my mother’s disappointment.
I have a friend who worked there. She just started and then they let everyone go this morning and told them they were closing shop. So sad for the people who work there and so sad for the readers who loved the magazine :(
There can be no logical explanation….have loved this mag for a very long time….no smiles today.
Man.. I am running out of subscriptions! My last one that got cancelled was replaced with Glamour magazine…. ohhh Lordy….. I JUST don’t get it……. sucks…
i can’t take it! sad news.
I just subscribed a few months ago – not because it necessarily represents my style, but because my mailbox has tumbleweeds rolling through it for lack of magazines – arrgghhhh!
I follow Ivy Lane in wondering what ho-hum “lifestyle” mag will replace Met Home??
I just heard this. There has GOT to me a market.. especially with Domino gone.
I’ll admit, I rarely looked at Met Home- I found it to be cold and completely unapproachable. But the loss of another BIG shelter title really freaks me out and makes me so sad to think what possibly could be next!
They can’t get rid of any more shelter mags!
It’s such a shame, but I’d rather they put the ad pages in Elle Decor (like the article mentions). Of the two, I prefer Elle Decor. It is frustrating, though. I work at a local magazine and I definitely understand how hard it is to keep a magazine in print. There may be a market for it and a circulation base, but if advertisers no longer have money to afford the ad pages needed, the magazine has no other choice than to fold.
I am tired of this. I wish they would post something on their site and talk to readers. DAMN
HUGE shame…especially since Met Home was really focused on green design and products/sources. Another one bites the dust, along with my renewal check!
ugh … when will it end. I just spent the weekend rereading old Dominos because I miss it so! Sniff!
Well, although I liked Metropolitan Magazine it was getting thinner and thinner.
I hope there will be more blogs with the quality of contents as good as magazines.
I know! All of my favorites have closed, Cottage Living, Domino, Gourmet… It’s killing me especially given the large amount horrific magazines they refuse to close.
oh no. I think it’s me. I just subscribed to this and I am afraid I have the black hand. Two magazines have folded once I subscribed :(
Your profanity isn’t appealing, it isn’t cool, it isn’t civil. You owe your readers an apology for the lapse of your judgement. We’ll forgive you, if you promise to set a better example.
I concur and commented earlier as to how we have lost several GREAT magazines yet so many crappy ones remain…..it is a “Cheesecake Factory” world out there…egad. Online is great but in no way compares to print. Sigh…But on to your beautiful necklace selection;)
I think your posting title just says it all. We are loosing, it seems, such levels of sophistication in publication. It seems that the more horrid a publication, better it does. This is a loss.
Okay, Erin. You’ll have to step up and start an online mag for all of us. I know we have Lonny now, but they seem to be the wave of the future.
And to Mr. Pehrson – seriously?? She didn’t even write the word for shit’s sake.
WHAT?! I can’t believe it. It’s such a great mag! This whole bad economy thing sucks :(
So i am completely feeling like I am bad luck…I bought Domino off the stands for months and then decided to get a subscription and after i got my first issue in the mail it closed….then now just last month i got a subscription to Met Home and recieved my first issue last week and now look its closing doors too…URRRG!! I am complete bad luck.
