Owl & Drum is proud to be a new advertiser in a popular,
cutting-edge Oklahoma online style magazine and blog.
Prairie Hive – which recently published its latest edition
and describes itself as “collecting style for the sweet life” – seeks to share
its news and views on fashion, fun and the finer things in local life.
The pioneering quarterly publication, which is a
collaboration of photographers, writers, craft-makers, interior and graphic
designers and creative people based in Tulsa, provides readers with insight into
the homes and lifestyles of a host of iconoclasts – from entrepreneurs to artists,
designers to globetrotters.
Prairie Hive’s stated aim is to share with readers a wide
variety of stories about interesting people, places and products in Tulsa and
surrounding areas.
“We show readers how they live, work and play, then take inspiration
from what we see and demonstrate how to incorporate a bit of that style into home,
entertaining, crafting endeavors and elsewhere,” the collaborators write on
their website, prairiehive.com.
“We hope you find some inspiration along the way . . . Each
of us has a unique perspective on design, lifestyle, travel and entertaining –
and we want to collectively give you something to buzz about!”
And there’s plenty to buzz about in T-Town at the moment.
Prairie Hive’s internet issue No. 7 for Fall 2012 is cover
titled “Pop Mod Partnership.”
The colorful, well-designed edition – which debuted in
cyberspace on Monday, Sept. 10 – features newly-married couple Nick Rhoades and
Jinger Howell, their love of distinctive designs and their stylish, eclectic
midtown Tulsa home.
Dozens of photos showcase their love of modern style,
classic design, sense of fun and mixing and matching furniture and décor in an
open-plan living space. Quality pieces of furniture are nicely juxtaposed with
pop art, family heirlooms and fabulous flea market finds.
The happy couple – Jinger is an interior designer; Nick is
an intern architect – call their
unique, spacious home in the Wedgwood neighborhood “The Futurama.” Hence, the
title of the story about the funky duo and their cool abode: “A Bright Futur(ama)”
The innovative magazine features a Q&A with the couple as they describe all the planning and work that went into revamping the rundown former
rental property to turn it into their one-of-a-kind dream home.
Other stories in the bumper 56-page latest edition of
Prairie Hive are called “Get the Look,” “Stargazing Supper” for a romantic
picnic in the park, “Celebrate the Style,” “Fashion Favorites” and “PH
Travels,” which details and photographs a road trip to Wichita, Kansas.
Members of Prairie Hive’s six-member editorial team
enthusiastically inform readers of the must-have clothes, housewares, jewelry,
furniture, interior items, gifts, gadgets
and products they are currently “buzzing” about. There are helpful DIY
projects, party planning tips and entertainment advice, too.
And, for food lovers, there are quick and easy recipes for
tasty pepper jelly pork tenderloin sandwiches, appealing apple hand pies and sweet potato chips, a guilty
pleasure to be sure. All beautifully photographed and with a clever page
layout, of course.
