DSC04753

well, billy and i made it back from nashville.  it was a quick trip but so worth it.  we had a blast.  now it’s back to the real world.  hope you were able to do something exciting over the weekend.

sorry about this being such a short post.  i really didn’t really think about too much involving design this weekend.  I’ve thrown in a few pictures of some of my previous projects so you’ll have something to look at though.  be back tomorrow.

loving…

1.  LONNY

2.  the idea of putting 2 oversized floor lamps in the corners of a dining room.  this would be especially good for a dining room that didn’t have windows (one like mine).

dining room overall

3.  this precious dog artwork.  i spotted it on the cote de texas blog.  unfortunately i don’t know the source so if anyone out there does i’d love to know.  i’m thinking of actually painting something similar to this pieces for my place except i’ll be painting a jack russell terrier.  that’s the kind of dog we have.  jacks are the best!

image 4.  this ikat fabric from ballard design. it’s called casbah.

5.  this wallpaper from farrow & ball. it’s called lotus papers.  they have a pretty large color selection for all their patterns.  i’ve posted a few colors down below.

hope you have a safe and happy weekend.  billy and i are off to nashville, tn to enjoy some great music downtown.

so pumped!!!

i can’t tell you how excited i am about the new magazine lonny that just released its premiere edition.  blogs have been buzzing about it all day, but i was driving so i couldn’t look at it.  i just got home and checked it out.  let me tell you, it is absolutely beautiful, and from what i can tell it is going to fill the void that i was left with when domino folded.  best of all you can view the pages completely online.  at first i thought viewing the pages online would be difficult.  just as a personal preference, i have always preferred magazines in print rather than online.  lonny has taken their magazine to the extreme though.  the layouts are amazing.  i personally am loving the full-screen mode.  you can zoom in for better reading and so you can see more details in the photos. 

can you tell i’m pumped!!!  i have to run so i can finish reading the rest of the magazine.  just wanted to go on ahead and do a post so i could get the word out.  enjoy it!!!
