Luxist

Another shelter magazine has closed down. Time Inc. has announced that it's all over for Southern Accents. The magazine will stop publishing with its September/October issue. The magazine offered decorating content with a Southern flair showcasing beautiful luxury homes. The magazine's number of ad pages was down 37 percent in the first half of the year according to Publishers Information Bureau. It's been a rough time for home decor magazines over the past couple of years. As the NY Times mentions just about every major publisher has closed a decorating title including the dearly departed Cottage Living, Blueprint, Country Home, O at Home and Domino. Time Inc. also owns Southern Living and Coastal Living which have so far escaped the ax. 09/09/09
