Founded and edited by interior designer Pamela Pierce, Milieu will be a quarterly print magazine, debuting in September 2013.

FALL 2013
World of Change
Take an art-history tour through the deep South, sample the surprisingly sophisticated fare of a food truck, and enter a stunning mix of interiors.  Plus, see how otherwise ordinary furnishings can be transformed into pieces to be adored. Welcome to the world of change.  —Milieu Magazine, editorial summary

WINTER 2014
Winter Whites
As temperatures fall, cozy up with winter's warmest whites.  Luxuriate in everything from cashmere to leather, diamonds to chocolate.  We show how white is invigorating, alive, inspiring — the most versatile color of all.  
—Milieu Magazine, editorial summary

SPRING 2014
Fresh and Unafraid
It's the season of renewal.  And we're not afraid to try new things or indulge in the ever-welcome familiar.  Embrace the scent of lavender and the fresh looks of the season, both indoors and out. 
—Milieu Magazine, editorial summary

SUMMER 2014
Spirited Summer
Things heat up.  Take advantage of a passionate palette of oranges and hot pinks. We visit second homes and the people in them, dive into swimming pools, and relive the joys of childhood.  Come summer with us.  —Milieu Magazine, editorial summary

Milieu speaks directly to readers who are sophisticated about design, worldly, well-traveled, and possess a discerning eye, but who also are playful, free-spirited, insatiably curious, and unafraid of the new and bold.

"Why does good design matter – so much so that I wanted to launch this magazine?  Because when you live with the things and the colors, the materials and the arrangements that appeal to you, you live better.  It's true.  You'll be inspired daily because you occupy rooms you love.
Good design always makes you see the world differently  – it becomes a brighter, even happier, place."
–Pamela Pierce excerpt, editor's say Milieu Sept 2013

Pamela Pierce's design sensibility has resulted in many beautiful spaces we have all long admired so when I received an email from her announcing this exciting creative project she has undertaken, I told her I would be happy to share the news with linen & lavender's  readers.  (See subscription link below.)   

Again, all my best wishes to you and your team, Pamela...can't wait for the first issue to arrive!

shopping days...

  image via Côté Ouest Dec01-Jan02

I'm all cozy at home shopping on-line today...making my way through my list of family and friends.  I thought I'd take a moment to share one of my favorite gift ideas- a magazine subscription.

Here is how you can make a magazine subscription special and on par with any gift you give this year:

If you can opt for a bit of a splurge, it's fun to gift a foreign magazine in their favorite genre...whatever they are passionate about.  For me, living here in the U.S., that would include anything from Côté Maison or say, Belle (Australia) or the French edition of Elle Decor...These range in price from $39-$110 and up.  

Once you decide on the magazine, make it special by printing out a photo found here or elsewhere on-line or pulled from a magazine if you happen to have something that will work well.  You are looking for something that is best representative of the magazine's content...a dreamy image of a chateau for a French design magazine, for example.

Put the image in a simple black frame (or any frame you think they will like/re-use) and wrap in a box along with a handwritten note expressing your holiday wishes and why you thought they would enjoy this particular magazine.  (Include the subscription start date, length and any other pertinent details you received when ordering so they have all the follow-up info handy.)

Of course, the very best part is that this gift continues on for months after... They will be thinking of you each time they open their mailbox to find another issue waiting for them!
