Happy Birthday Lonny and New Issue…

Lonny-magazine-2010-cover
Hard to believe it’s been a year, but online shelter magazine, Lonny is turning one. To celebrate the big birthday, they have released another stunning issue. Featuring design talents such as Celerie Kemble, Mary McDonald, Lulu de Kwiatkowski, John Robshaw, Palmer Weiss, Eddie Ross, Ruthie Sommers and so many more, this is a must see issue. Here are some of my favorite images…

Love this bookshelf organized by color created by stylist, Lauren Goodman’s NYC apartment. The pair of fuchsia chairs are a great compliment to the lavender carpet in the bedroom next door.

In the home of LA-based interior designer, Lulu de Kwiatkowski, her Americana, beach chic and bohemian style shines through. The sunny kitchen nook is a perfect spot for breakfast, drinking tea or art with the kids.

Love the textured wallpapered with gold vintage chandelier Kwiatkowski selected for this hallway. Colorful artwork, family photos and sea shells add life to an ordinary bookshelf. Go here for tips on styling a bookcase.

Kwiatkowski's home is filled with fabrics from her own collection, Lulu DK for Matouk. In this bedroom, she layers rugs for texture, color and visual emphasis on the bed. The pair of wood inlay chests and black & white artwork add an old world element and balance the modern floral bedding and geometric draperies.

As stated in the Lonny issue, San Francisco-based interior designer, Palmer Weiss “interprets her style as a mixture of classic traditionalism modernized with a relaxed West Coast vibe.” This style is expressed in the design of her own San Francisco home. In the living room, Weiss  balances out the space with a mixture of pattern, finishes and period-styles. I love how Weiss decorates the fireplace mantel - simple, elegant and symmetrical. Go here for tips on decorating the fireplace mantel.

Love the nod to the San Francisco Giants with the use of orange in Weiss’ little girl’s room. Go Giants! The photos above each bed are priceless too.

Dream closet! Love, love this stunning walk-in closet in Celerie Kemble’s New York City 27th floor apartment. The black & white basket weave tile floor is beautiful with the back cabinetry.
