I got a free subscription to ReadyMade as part of a promotion with some concert tickets, and I set aside my first few issues with barely a glance. But with Domino magazine closing up shop and more publications on death watch, I decided to take a closer look. And I really liked what I saw. I wasn’t a reader before 2008, so I’m not sure how the mag has evolved over the years. But the latest issue (February/March) reminded me of, dare I say, the late, great Budget Living. (Full disclosure: Angela M. was once Budget Living’s editor, but I didn’t know her back then.) This month’s ReadyMade has DIYs on making light fixtures from cake pans and inexpensive glass globes. There’s a great rehab of a sideboard. But my favorite part was ReadyMade’s ability to turn economical ideas into a celebration. The issue is filled with ideas for gathering friends for potlucks, bringing the party home, and sharing the expenses. You can get a lot of great ideas online, too, but this is one print magazine I’ll be hanging onto — and renewing when the time comes. –Mary T.
