Bond…Jonathan Bond

Posted in Decorators, Furniture, Lonny, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Last week, while in Chicago, I stopped by Jonathan Adler’s store on the way back to my hotel. It was my last night in Chicago, which is probably good as I asked the salesman (from Louisville, KY by the way) to hold all my bags so I could touch things. They were having an upholstery floor sale. The sale called for 30-40% off of some couches.

However, the highlight of my entire trip, was seeing the Bond collection. I audidly ”OOoooo-ed” when I saw the Bond Desk. Then, I turned the corner and practically ran to the Bond Console. Burl wood and lucite? Jonathan…Jonathan… I opened all drawers and doors. Rubbed my hands all over it. Pretended the store was my home.

Lilly Pultizer

Posted in Dining, DIY, Lonny, Sewing, Shopping, tagged , , , , on January 20, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Lonny recently had an article about Lilly Pulitzer. (It’s good. Go read it.)

Lilly started by make shift dresses, which Jackie O jumped into popularity. Lilly Pulitzer is now a lifestyle company. I like her and have for as long as I can remember – so that could be 5 years or it could be 20+. We’ll never know. However, I do know this is super cute

along with many other dresses found here. I have got to work on my sewing skills.

Lilly Pulitzer stores are decorated in preppy colors, very Palm Beach Chic.

This home has a pulitzer-esque look

One of my favorite dining rooms. It currently resides on my “mood board.”

The Lonny article features the King of Prussia store that just had a makeover. Within the photo collage about the new store, I found this cute idea for art. I’d make it minus the tubes of paint.

Do you like neutral and calm OR colorful and fun?

Wicky wicky

I have noticed a surprising trend in what has caught my attention. It’s old wicker. In my defense, it’s not “typical” country wicker. It’s more Beachy Chic. Here are some pieces I paused at just this week.

Shelves for $75.00

Crib/basinet for $30.00

Setee for $20.00

It could be similar to this image

August/September Lonny Favorites

Posted in Lonny, Magazines, tagged , , , , on August 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I suggest you check out Lonny magazine. Therefore, I am not going to show you “inspiration photos” from it. Instead, I’m sharing my favorite finds from the current August/September issue.

Baby Ben Folding Alarm Clock from L.L. Bean
I had looked at their 1949 Big Ben Alarm Clock but never noticed the smaller, travel appropriate version.

Billykirk’s No. 165 Medium CarryAll
It, too, would be great for travel or just everyday awesomeness.

I found my new favorite Etsy seller, NEAPOLITAN. Love. I’m kind of sad I’m already married and have no need for her custom invitations. The flamestick above is killer. I love the combination of pink, orange and navy. I’m drawn to those colors often.

Ballard Design’s Suzanne Kasler Vintage Inspired Mirror #4. I know some say that sunburst mirrors are overdone, but I still like some of them.

I found my new favorite saying in the article about Rachel Ashwell. (page 103)
