Happy holiday's from Lonny!

  Lonny's November/December issue is out.  Get ready for the fabulousness! 

The West Village home of interior designer and antique collector, Paul Caddell.

The fireplace is flanked by two reclaimed pedestals from a Washington Square townhouse.

Caddell's home furnishings shop, Abingdon.

Home of PR savant Susan Becher.  It's rich in subtle beauty with the Madeline Weinrib rug, English style sofa, and weathered pine desk.

The distressed espresso dining room floors have such a rich looking history about them. 

Love the checkerboard patterned floors, and glass front storage cabinets.

Celerie Kemble kept the color palette soft, but added drama with the accents of black, gold, and lucite. 

The pair of slipper chairs are from Hickory Chair, and are covered in a striped silk, with detailed nailhead trim, and that chinoiserie side table is a definite conversation starter.

Low backed chairs allow the eye to travel and the view to remain unobstructed.  The murano glass leaf chandelier adds elegance to balance out the heavy wood table.

The bedroom shows its outrageous sense of style with this goat footed bench.

The children's room is fun and fresh with color and pattern.  The chalkboard globe is from The Well Appointed Home, and the wire chair is from CB2.

The play table and chairs are from Magis Me Too with clear storage legs.  The collection of photographs is a series of car wash scenes by Karen Tompkins. 

Design crush. Miles Redd

Interior designers that incorporate vintages pieces in a modern way into their designs always seem to grab my attention.  Miles Redd is one that had me at tangerine tufted sofa.  I love how he layers textures, color, and finishes in his designs.  He may just have been the one to spark my obsession of bold colors.

Love this children's room.  The bed is from IKEA.  Isn't that wallpaper so darling?  It's from Marthe Armitage.  And who doesn't love a great striped rug.  This one is from Dash & Albert.

Love the back to back sofas

Beautiful suede library chairs, turquoise walls, Thomas O'brien tables, and the pair John Derain decoupage trays that hang above the bookcases add some humor. 

Love the striped Amagansett rug by Madeline Weinrib.  

The photo that started it all.  A butler's pantry painted in Farrow & Ball's Hague Blue, featured in Elle Decor.  Divine!

I just about died and went to design heaven when I say this Manhattan apartment featured in House Beautiful.  The walls are Farrow & Ball's Hague Blue, which makes that tufted tangerine armless sofa come right out to meet you.

The blue door made famous in the pages of Domino.

Classic meets contemporary.  

One of my very favorite bedrooms.  Love the chevron rug, chinoiserie wallpaper, and the turquoise accents

Cork board covered walls.  Never worry about another nail hole again!

Nothing beats chevron flooring.  Nothing.

Emerald green walls.  Now that's bold!

Local Shop. The Finde

Today my trusty little kindergartner companion and I stopped in at a fabulous local furniture shop called The Finde. It is pluck full of beautiful furniture and vintage pieces that have been refinished and re-purposed, all just begging you to take them home (which I just about did). Not to mention they had me at the striped store front sign. Aside from the inventory on the floor, they also do custom work, which means you can bring in your furniture piece, and they will paint it for you in any shade of paint you so desire. If you would like to learn how to paint your furniture piece yourself, they also teach painting classes. Have a piece that you would like to sell? They offer consignment too. They really can do it all. I promise you will not be disappointed. Stop in and visit Bonnie at the Finde, and leave with a beautiful custom piece that you'll be over the moon excited about!

Isn't this Thonet bentwood chair so gorgeous with it's gray paint and ticking stripe cushion?

Head and foot boards painted and distressed

I love the green

Vintage frames transformed

A sneak peak inside the shop. See that little bentwood beauty? It's calling my name.

Pinterest. Are you pinning?

Pinterest is a virtual pin-board of sorts where you can catalog all of the things that you love. It is an amazing place to find new design ideas, and endless inspiration. Finally, a way to get organized for those of us who have humongous design catalogs of our own stored on our hard drives, and never ending piles of magazine pages that have been saved for the last 10 years. Hallelujah is all I have to say about that! However, a bit of a word to the wise, the inspiration is so endless, that you may sit down in the morning with your breakfast, and then find yourself still in the same place at midnight. I kid you not. Just take a look for yourself.

Hermosa Beach bachelor pad

Have you seen the latest issue of House Beautiful? As I was flipping through the pages I came across this beautiful bachelor pad designed by the talented team of Parrish Chilcoat & Joe Lucas. They incorporated earthy elements, rich color, and classic pattern, keeping the home feeling masculine and casual. I literally love every room in this home.

The home's exterior is a beautiful whitewashed brick with an entry flanked by two lantern fixtures.

The neutral living room feels fresh and relaxed. Love the wood slab coffee table

Tucked away in the corner of the living room is an x-base desk with built in book storage.

The Kitchen is by far my favorite space in the home. I love the industrial stools and pendant fixtures. They painted the cabinets and the island two separate shades of gray to set them apart. The cabinets are Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe, and the island is Benjamin Moore's Chelsea gray. Both are gorgeous.

In the dining room, they used a square mahogany table and tufted leather chairs from hickory chair. The lines are all very masculine.

Powder room. Isn't that pedestal sink gorgeous?

The Master bedroom walls are covered in warm grasscloth, and plenty of light.

Master bath has plenty of natural light, and a deep soaking tub.
Isn't that Kelly Wearstler Katana headboard spectacular? The lamps are from Thomas O'brien.Love the collected shelving and french doors in the guestroom.

The study. A perfect mix of old and new.

The antler's that hang in the hallway are a nod to the homeowner's Canadian roots.

The rec room.
Living room bar. I think the wire bar stools are divine.

The patio stays warm all year round with an outdoor fireplace and overhead heated lanterns.
Poolside Ikea deck chairs and stone slab side table bring the masculinity outdoors.
