metropolitan home is latest shelter mag to fold

The losses just keep coming. Hachette Filipacchi Media US announced today that it will fold Metropolitan Home and focus its energies solely on Elle Décor; the December 2009 issue will be Metropolitan Home’s last. As Elle Décor Editor-In-Chief Margaret Russell mentioned at this year’s Women in Design event, good magazines fold due to issues of the economy, not content — and as always, we wish it weren’t so. Older content from Metropolitan Home can still be found at PointClickHome.com, but the ever-shrinking world of shelter publications won’t be the same without it. — Sarah C.

I heard PointClickHome.com will also close and only operate under ElleDecor.com so check out MetHome.com before it goes away.

Sigh. Another one bites the dust. We too wish it weren’t so.
