The May edition of Lonny is out!



The May 2012 edition of Lonny was (finally!) released yesterday and it features lots of gorgeous eye candy for the design-obssesed among us. The issue is mainly focused on outdoor entertaining but it has some great indoor spaces as well (plus a vibrant bonus trip to Morocco, a place I've always wanted to visit). Everything in this issue feels bright and fresh and airy - perfect for late spring!

Here's what I'm bookmarking from this issue...

All white outdoor furniture (love the tulip table outside!) with brightly colored place settings (pg. 96)

Still love me a sunburst mirror, plus layered rugs, and a bright antique lamp (pg. 129)

Bright white kitchen with shelves and subway tile (pg. 141)

Embrace the bold! Mix 'n matched dining room chairs with Red Eames chairs, and striped black and white wingback chairs. I adore this combination! (pg. 162)

Statement art: large pop-art Jackie O. Sassy and classy. (pg. 165)

Love the blue bamboo chairs and seahorse table! Great lighting fixture and potted plants on the table too. (pg. 172)

Expert use of modern vintage style here. I love it all, especially all the lucite, the bell jar, that subtle yet glam wallpaper, the ornate mirror, the gold bookcase, and the blue bust! Fantastic. (pg. 188)

Just a lovely little desk nook! (pg. 194 - but check out pg. 195 too for the desk details - perfection.)

A sequined coverlet! Can you stand the glamour?! (pg. 224)

What were your favorite moments in the May edition of Lonny?? Do share. And if you haven't read it yet, just click here and enjoy!

Eames rockers

Have you ever had a chance to see an Eames rocker in the flesh? A couple weeks I came across one while visiting Design Within Reach in Georgetown, in a gorgeous robin's egg blue. As many times as I've seen them in pictures, I wasn't prepared for how drawn I'd be to those aesthetically pleasing lines, those simple curves. I fell so hard, so fast, it was painful to leave the shop. It felt like I was leaving MY chair behind!

I know now that I will have one for my own one day. But in the meantime, let's take a look at some of these beauties in a few different spaces.








I know they're not for everyone but as an accent piece, they really offer a beautiful shape and pop of color. So! Are you in love too?

Do tell.
