how amazing is this townhouse?

I keep catching myself going back and looking at the pictures of Trey and Jenny Laird's Manhattan brownstone, making mental notes of "oh, I am so copying this...I am so copying that."

Therefore, I felt the obligation to share some pictures with those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Hold on to your socks though, Jeffrey Bilhuber knocked it out of the park.

The entrance hall is graced with Gracie wallpaper (totally on purpose) and leopard rug.

Ugh, I die.

I love the mix of colors and all of the different layers of fabric.

And I always support the use of one of my most favoritest fabrics, the tiger-stripe velvet from Brunschwig & Fils.

I absolutely adore this breakfast nook.

From the Andy Warhol print of Jackie O to the check wallpaper and curtains, everything is so quirky and works perfectly together.

Ok, I actually hate the barstools, but I adore the floors in this kitchen.

The library really gets me.

I want to lick those dark, high gloss walls and then take a nap ride on that tiger-stripe chair and ottoman.

Yum.

Pretty outdoor space with mirror-backed trelliswork.

Very pure and calm master bedroom, and you know I'm a sucker for canopies.

Dressing room with plaster chandie and printed linen wall covering.

Their teenager daughter's room is one of my favorites.

I love the chartreuse walls and curtains with pom-pom trim.

For their son's room, I am so diggin' the preppy masculine feel.

It definitely screams "boy" without any eyeball murderous sports theme.

Couldn't you just move right in?

I love how the color was not afraid of color or texture. It really lets their personalities shine through and that's the ultimate goal, isn't it?

What do you think of it?

Discuss.

I eventually do the things I say I will

Give me a break, I'm still on vacation!

But here is the room I promised...

Everything about this room makes me happy. From the yellow zebra-print chairs, to the bursting crystal 1950s chandie, and of course the nun painting by Tony Scherman. Like whoa.

Don't you just love it?

Now I must return to all of my very important pajama wearing activities.

Furbish.

Ok, so I told you guys last week that I ventured to Furbish.

So ya know those times where you hype something up so much and you dream about how awesome it's going to be and then when you actually experience it, it's a huge let down?

This is not one of those times.

The first part is totally true; I drooled over pictures, imagined items in my house-to-be, and became overly infatuated with a pair of dalmatian chairs.

I took a little road trip to Furbish and this is what I found...

 

 I was initially greeted by a lovely hot pink door.

This is going to be good.

 When you first walk in, it's a little bit of sensory overload. In a great way.

Amazing foxglove wallpaper. Swoon.

Don't you just love that painting by Jenny of MFAMB?

Look at that bed in all of its splendor.

And yes, those are my chairs. MINE.

The jewelry is all lovely. I especially liked those coral necklaces on the left.

But that's the necklace I snagged. I'll show it to ya in a hot second.

There are no words.

 I love the mix of the floral granny-awesome sofa and that rug.

Black swirl chair...

Black swirl wall, done by Jamie herself.

Pillow talk. Remember those?

 Delicious bubble-gum pink sofa.

Fabric wall, hung on cute puppy butt hooks.

And those chevron chairs? Yay!

All of the above pictures were taken from Honey + Fitz, I was much too awestruck to whip out my camera.

If I hadn't just spent so much money on Christmas gifts for myself I would have gone buck wild.

As soon as I find out where we're moving in a few months, all bets are off!

Here's what I did end up with...

Mr. and Mrs. hand towels. They are so cute and perfect in our master bathroom.

And my neck-a-luss

HOLLER!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Actually, not really.

It is still about 70 degrees here in the south, which is sorta marvelous if you ask me. I miss the snow and the immediate sense of holidayness that comes along with it, but this temperature is much more civilized than the teen temps currently in Minnesnowta.

To get more in the merriment mood, I have been slowly turning my hatred of the red and green color combo into a sordid love affair. I'm not too sure how it happened, but I am loving reds and greens mixing these days.

Check it out.

 Yes.

 I mean, come on. That's awesome.

 Feelin' it yet?

 How about now?

 

No one can argue with me about that lantern. No one.

It's magical.

Oh, and because I am super awesome and extra helpful today, here is where you can get a similar lantern, PLUS a lamp that has a similar green geo pattern.

You're welcome!!

Carousel Lantern

Green Ribbon Trim Geo Lamp

Aren't they lovely?

Both are from one of my most favoritest stores, Furbish.

I took a road trip recently just to visit Furbish in all of its in-person glory, but more to come on that later.

It's almost Friday guys!

Things I Like...

Let's get back to some home junk, shall we?

Here are some things that are out of this world...

That 1940's Fontana Arte chandy is ridiculous. I can't seem to get it out of my head.

Dark and handsome. Just how I like my men den?

That wallpaper. I would plaster that bright granny junk all ova my house if Tony would let me.

But he's lame-o, so I'm sure he will limit it to one room. Boo.

Leopard sofa and perfectly imperfect hangings of gold-framed art? Yes please.

And. that. reindeer.
Gimme one of those.
He looks so cute like that in the corner, having a holly jolly Christmas.

I'm Back...

...and about 10 pounds heavier than I was 2 weeks ago. 

So I'm pretty slow moving. 

Which is great for my j-o-b. 

Here are some things that are much more awesome than I am today. Brought to you by the latest Lonny.

 This room is everything. Pillows and side table just to start off with...

 Deep turquoise walls and that rug. That rug.

 I would move into this bedroom tomorrow.

Always a sucker for zebra print, mirrored furniture and Leontine.

Nail head details on those chairs. Shut up right now.

But, that's pretty much the only nice things I have to say about this issue. Oh, and any feature on Jonathan Adler makes me smile, but overall, blah.

Red and Pink

I recently saw these Tory Burch heels and instantly I was all, "I luff them!"

 Maybe it's 'cause I have a slight obsession with the pairing of pink and red

 It's definitely not the color combo for everyone

 But it sure is for me

 Oh, and Miles Redd loves it too

Need I say more?

Ok, I'm well aware that this is a weak post.

I'm all sorts of wonk-a-doo from having a house guest last weekend and preparing for another house guest this weekend. Not that I don't love my visitors-my momma is basically my favoritest person eva and this weekend my bestie Lexie (on purpose) is coming-it's just a lot of activities for ole me.

Less neglect tomorrow.

xoxo Meg
