Here they are.All the other magazines that I loved that were also canceled in the last five years. Some never got a chance to succeed such as Real+Life Decorating and Living 101.*
Budget Living
Blueprint (MSL Omnimedia, Inc.)
Bargain Style (Better Homes & Garden)
Living 101 (Southern Progress)
Living Room (Better Homes & Garden )
Real+Life Decorating (Better Homes & Garden)
And of course, Cottage Living (Time Inc. via Southern Progress**)
* Only one issue was ever printed.
** Southern Progress is the publisher of Southern Living, Cooking Light, Health, Southern Accents, Coastal Living and Sunset.

The top 4 were all ones I had too. I sold my entire run of Budget Living on Ebay for $50 before I moved.
You are the Subscriber of Doom!
That's disappointing, though, how budget publications can't survive. You're giving me the urge to spray paint something, just to say I did it.
I would totally have subscribed to the Sunset one. I am a sucker for the lifestyle they promote. And I get so excited whenever they feature someplace I have been! It's like I read ahead.
And that reminds me, do you subscribe to Domino or Sunset? They are the only two I get and I wouldn't mind continuing to. Subscriber of Doom, spare my magazines!
Yes, I do subscribe to Domino but they aren't having advertiser problems. The cancellations seem to happen just after I discover I like the magazine well enough to subscribe. With Domino, I have been a subscriber for over a year. So, knock on wood.
Alas...
oh my gosh was real life decorating only one issue?? i have that issue and just assumed i couldn't find it anymore after i originally bought it.
Kay, sorry I meant that only one issue was printed of Living 101. I remember that there were at least three issues of Real+Life (I have two).
Great post. I was a subscriber of most of these, too, and a magazine professional. (I also was so sad to lose Organic Style, another Sarah Gray Miller publication, for Rodale.)
