Room for changeWant to create rooms you'll love? You'll find pages of ideas and photos inside Best Rooms, a new special edition from Domino.
Actress Rashida Jones lounges on the cover, and her West Hollywood home, where she's "obsessed" with lighting, is featured inside.
The fall/winter glossy is organized in three sections: "The Rooms" offers tips for creating great living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms; "The Homes" showcases six "unforgettable" houses, while "It's All in the Details" breaks down three "decorating hot spots" -- the mantel, the bookcase and the reading chair.
Domino Best Rooms is available on newsstands for $10.99 through Dec. 2.
