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!

Pens, inks and markers

How pretty are these prints by Portland, OR-based artist Yellena James? I can't choose a favorite. I just can't. Don't make me.









I heart them all and happen to own a few myself. The intricacy and detail of Yellena's prints which she draws using pens, inks and markers is incredible. These make for an interesting and colorful addition to any wall.

Etsy featured a Q&A with Yellena in 2007 which you can read here. I love this photo of her workspace. That painted canvas behind her desk looks like the perfect vision from which to draw frenzied creative inspiration. I wonder if it's her own work.
