I picked up an issue of the hot new home design magazine "Domino," and I was happy to see that it's a publication with a clear-seeing eye out for people who can't afford the latest red refrigerator or hand-painted wallpaper. Domino devotes one whole section to "doing good," and calls it "Easy ways to set your karma straight." Therein you'll find tips on clearing clutter, volunteering, and a fabric whose sale benefits a charity in New Orleans. Also, Domino's website announces that the magazine has commissioned a team of designers to redesign and furnish a Bronx apartment complex for women and children with HIV. Maybe Domino will send the other mags tumbling. I get so fed up with stylish periodicals devoted to stimulating envy (which last time I checked, still ranked high on the list of deadly sins).
