They’ve won my heart (and mind) again
I was soooo pleasantly surprised by this latest issue of Lonny…especially so, since I was soooo confounded by the previous issue — I seriously had to question if we had started to go in different directions, my dear Lonny. Perhaps my love for the hip and eclectic with a touch of mod glam was just too much, too passé for you??
But flipping through the pages of the October/November 2010 issue, I started to feel a little better as I was greeted by friendly faces like Cassandra LaValle of Coco+Kelley, and The Neo-Traditionalist’s Katie Armour — who is adorable by the way, and picked equally adorable items to feature (below). I almost fainted over that Kelly Wearstler gold marbled pillow, but it was the way she combined it with these other sweetly sexy items that just about killed me.
But then they had to go and feature not one, not two, but three, oh wait FOUR(!) of my all-time favorite designers: Lulu de Kwiatkowski, Ruthie Sommers, Palmer Weiss and Celerie Kemble (all four are on my to-blog list so you will see more of these talented ladies again). OK, now I’m really feeling this.
And maybe it’s because my daughter has left baby-hood and entered little girl-hood that it’s on my mind lately, but I cannot get enough of the kids’ rooms and how each designer transformed these little ones’ abodes into such with-it little spaces! Dare I say I am hooked again?
…Yes please! The perfect mix of soft traditional + mid-century cool: very Palmer Weiss.
…Grasscloth + Aalto + children’s artwork = my heart is singing
…There’s just too much hipness and cuteness going on in this room, I can’t stand it.
…LOVE how the two beds in this bunk are not identical. Clever girl, that Celerie.
So there you have it, they leave me wanting more once again. I am just hoping we’ll see some consistency in the next few issues, so they don’t break my heart again.
…xoxo
