From almost 5 years of blogging and reading various blogs, my interest has expanded from just sewing to fashion, DIY, design, art and most recently, decor. I get most inspired from browsing through pinned images of lovely homes (here and here) and reading blogs like Apartment 34 or Made By Girl. Japanese magazine, Maisha (マイシャ) has been on my reading list for a while, and although I rarely buy magazines, Maisha has been an exception. Partly because with the purchase of the magazine for 500 yen, it gives you a gift certificate worth 1000 yen at FrancFranc(フランフラン). I find it to be a pretty good deal!
I would describe the magazine’s style to be a mix of modern and vintage with a hint of whimsical and kitsch details. I am happy that the September 2013 issue of the magazine which was published on the 25th is featuring my home. The place that was featured was my old place before our move to Tokyo last week. Although we left the place for a good reason (it started to get small for three of us), I still miss the relatively spacious living room (at least in Japanese standards), high ceiling and loft bed.
You can purchase the magazine at regular book stores or online here.
