Country Living has a new look, courtesy of new editor Sarah Gray Miller, WWD reported on April 13, 2009:

"Amid general retrenchment in the shelter and lifestyle category, Country Living has a (relatively) new editor and a new look, and appears to be toughing it out better than some of its head-to-head competitors.

Sarah Gray Miller, who became editor of the magazine in November when O at Home was folded into O, The Oprah Magazine, sees the magazine’s mission as particularly relevant given the economic times — so much so that she took the magazine’s tagline, “Come home to comfort,” off the spine and put it on the cover. “The magazine’s values resonate so much right now,” Miller said. “And we’ve always been about crafting and entertaining at home.”"
