Attempting to ease the pain of waiting for house purchase to complete by indulging in some reading! Renovations won't extend beyond new bathroom/kitchen and putting in a proper porch, so my googling for renovation blogs seem to throw up huge extensions and structural work which while interesting isn't relevant to me in giving ideas going forward.

What are your favourite interior magazines/blogs etc to read?

My favorite is style at home I don't know blogs I'm afraid.
Hopefully others can come on and help with that.

Thanks t875, I don't ever buy magazines of any sort but picked up a lovely one in a cafe by chance a few weeks back that I now can't remember the name of at all so I figured there must be some nice ones out there, can I find them in supermarkets?

Blogs seem handy for quick free reading and clickable links for stuff I might like to buy! Difficult finding the right key words to google to find them though. There are so so so many blogs it seems. People literally blog about everything don't they Confused

Just marking my place...I need some calm house reading as I'm in the middle of buying / selling / clearing out hell.

I'll admit am a Living Etc and the Simole Things (more lifestyle than interiors mag) reader but these are probably too obvious!

Living etc and Elle Decoration for magazines.

Mad about the house, My friend's house, Lauren Liess, Style by Emily Henderson for blogs. The two last ones are USA-based. Lauren Liess is amazing at talking about processes, her book is good too.
