Fall 2009 Edition of Lonny Magazine
I never subscribed to Domino Magazine (sorry if I’m one of the reasons it failed) but I still check back issues out from the library when I need some inspiration. I just love looking at the inside of other people’s homes and the furniture they select.
Well, some of the staff from Domino Magazine have started a new endeavor call Lonny Magazine. The first issue is available online by following the link. I’ve been scanning the pages and I’m enjoying the layout, the design tips and the features on upcycling your own furniture in order to achieve the sense of style you are looking for.
Another fun thing about reading the magazine online is the live links you can follow by mousing over the pages. I saw the book The Self Sufficient-ish Bible on page 26, and clicked on it’s cover which brought me here in case I wanted to make it my own. Very cool!
I resonate with Ron Marvin’s quote on pg 86, “Understand what makes you feel comfortable and recreate it in your own home.” I’m sometimes tempted to try things in my home that aren’t me and don’t even fit with my home, but I like them. For sake of my budget and home comfort & cohesiveness, this is good advice to remember.
Also, the interview of Grace Bonney, creator of Design*Sponge, is really great. I liked hearing more of her story of how she got into design.
