There's no secret to that I'm an interior magazine junky. I have a subscription on Domino magazine, Country Living UK, Country Homes & Interiors UK, Ariadne at Home, Elle Wonen, Elle Eten and the 101 Woonideeën. I also frequently buy the VT Wonen, The English Home, Real Simple and Country Living USA. I occasionally get send Martha Stewart Living, Blueprint and BoligLiv. And I still try to search between the magazines in the newspaper stand to get more. I'm really embarrassed about this but it's my thing - we all have a thing don't we?

I think I'm the worst nightmare for most magazine editors because I'll read or flip through everything. Even if it's in Hebrew I'll have it. Being said so, they can't get away with publishing the same stuff at the same time because I'll know and I'll find out.

This month I was shocked in utter believe. Four of my favorite magazines run the same stuff but put it in different context.

First off is the Country Homes & Interiors (July 2007 issue) with this picture of a beautiful kitchen - very well styled, I love it

but in the Country Living UK a month before (June 2007 issue) there's the exact same kitchen, just differently styled

I nearly fell off my chair when Kristina sent me the BoligLiv (May/June issue) all the way from Denmark

to find out that the VT Wonen - a Dutch magazine - (June 2007 issue) are using the exact same pictures but just made a complete different story

I thought I lost it, they can't fool magazine junkies like me. I might as well bought one really fat magazine with all these pictures in it, just styled differently. "Look! this is what we can do with kitchen A and this is what we can do with outdoor shower B".

May this be a wise lesson, do never become a magazine junky because you'll end up looking at the same stuff just as my mother tells me all the time - arrrgghhh I hate she's right!
