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.

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.

Stripe Hype

I keep a folder on my desktop where I save home related junk and I've recently been trying to ease Tony into my design aesthetic by showing him some pictures from time to time. 

Because let's face it, if it were up to him, our house would look like a Restoration Hardware catalog. 

Not that that's a bad thing, but floor to ceiling beige/cream in every room would drive me insane.

Yesterday I showed hims this bathroom. Which is one of my favoritest ever ever bathrooms.

To my surprise, he liked it.

Progress.

And then I realized how many rooms I have saved that are full of stripes. It makes me think that I am going to need a lot of restraint to limit my stripes to one, err, two rooms.

 More stripe bathroom goodness.

I mean, am I just destined to live in a glorified circus tent?

How do you feel about stripes in the home?
Love it or leave it?

Home-run

Is everyone ready for some awesome living rooms? I think Lonny totally knocked it out of the park in terms of living rooms this issue. Some were classic and creamy, while others were bold and beautiful.

The living room that graced the cover.

I love the bubble gum pink couch paired with the printed black pillows. 

Delish.

For a little more rawriness in your life, I love this eclectic living room with red lacquered walls.

(Yes, I know, it looks orange in the pictures)

And that couch is just begging to be sat on.

I'm also very fond of the side chairs in the forefront of the picture-they're doing the same bubble gum pink and printed black as the couch in the last living room.

Obsessed with the pedestal ashtray. Not for real smokes. Just for real looks.

The combination of modern and antique is pure brills.

I think the antique chairs work really well with the lucite side table and coffee table.

The lady of the house wanted to remove the original fireplace mantel, but the hubs said no way. 

I'm glad she listened!

And now, my most favoritest.

Taa-daaaa!

I could go on and on about this one.

Green velvet couch. Animal print pillows. Bright blue carpet. THAT WALLPAPER. That lovely peacock I spy in the back.

It all works.

Oh, times that couch by two. Wonderful.


Total home-run for Lonny...but now I'm itching for the next issue to come out!
Patience is a virtue.
Me lacks it a bit.
