I Have an Issue

Monday, August 16th, 2010

The September/August issue of Lonny is here, finally! 

And to wet your whistle, here’s a tiny taste.  Bon Appetit!

Eye Think This Says It All

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

“One Rarely Sees What Is Right In Front Of Them,” is what this framed Eye Chart piece from Z Gallerie reads.  I think this is such a clever message in a fun and modern format, and here’s the best part:  it costs less than $40.

How Fowl Is This?

I heart this owl vase from Z Gallerie.

It’s Totally Worth It. Totally.

The plot of Sex and the City 2 may not be worth the price of admission, but you know what is:  the decor of Carrie and Big’s New York apartment.  It’s totally worth it.  Totally.

Lovin’ Lonny. Again.

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

The summer issue of Lonny is here and it’s so delicious that you need to grab your knife and fork this second and slice yourself a big piece of the home decor publication.  It’s finger lickin’ fantastic!

I’m Dreaming of a White Kitchen

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

We have yet to sell this house, but that doesn’t stop me from envisioning our next one.  And these pictures have me dreaming of a white kitchen.

Fibers Are My Fav!

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I do not know what my deal is, but lately, I’ve been obsessed with area rugs.  My latest love:  these fantastic fibers by Amy Butler.

These are just a few of my favs, but if you want to see Butler’s entire rug collection for yourself, hop on over to Layla Grayce.  It’s an amazing California based boutique which also sells its stuff on-line.

So, That’s the End of That.

When I was flipping through this month’s Real Simple Magazine, I stopped the second I spotted this sweet ceramic juicer.  Editors of the life style publication write, “It’s an offbeat and elegant way to procure your morning O.J.”

And I thought, they’re right!  It would be such an offbeat and elegant way to procure my morning O.J.  But then I thought, I don’t want to procure my own morning O.J. 

So, that’s the end of that.

Knock Knock

Me:    Knock knock.

You:  Who’s there?

Me:    Orange.

You:  Orange who?

Me:    Orange you glad I discovered this amazing rug from Ballard Designs which by the way, I must  incorporate into my home, so I could write this really witty joke?

A Potted Plant That’s Sew Easy

Maybe, just maybe, if I brought this

Instead of this

That wouldn’t happen.

A fabric potted plant from Etsy:  it’s a good thing.

I’ve Killed Her. But at Least She’s in a Better Place.

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I’ve killed her.  But she’s in a better place now.  I mean, at least she’s no longer suffering.  It was such a long and lingering death, I felt ending her life was the only humane thing to do.  So, after dinner tonight, we gathered and gave a fond farewell to Fiona the fern, my family and I.  Her final resting place:  the kitchen garbage.  May she rest in peace.

I Need to Fold Laundry, But I Think I’ll Look at Lonny.

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Issue 3 of Lonny Magazine is here!

I literally sang that line out loud as I typed it and my husband called me on it.  He was all, what are you singing?  And I was all, was I singing something?  And he was all, um, yeah.

You see?  I’m so riled up about Lonny’s latest on-line issue, I didn’t even know I was singing.

But there is so much to sing about, including this amazing office.

And these stripes.

lonnybar

And what about the paint treatment on the ceiling over the bar?

There’s even a section on organization.  So much to sing about.  Buggin David a bit while doing it:  bonus.

When Did KMART Become COOL?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

I was so stunned when I saw it I can’t even remember what home decor magazine I was flipping through while waiting in line at the grocery store last week.  In a beautifully decorated room I saw this chair:

With this logo in the credits:

No way, I thought.  There’s no way KMART sells that contemporary rocking chair.  There’s. No. Way.  So I popped on line and I discovered not only does the discount giant sell that chair, but these modern masterpieces too.

kmartchairs

They are all $150 and less which is such a steal.  And it’s super fun and affordable way to try a modern piece in your place.
