LONNY MAG: june/july edition

The new Lonny Mag came out yesterday and it is just as beautiful as ever. If you are not familiar with Lonny then welcome to the future of magazines. It is an online magazine that comes out every two months. You literally flip the pages and are able to click on any picture to take you to its corresponding link online. I love looking for new shopping sites.

Remember my post about Rubie Green? Well, the founder of Rubie Green, Michelle Adams,  also created Lonny + photographer Patrick Cline. Together, their design sense is amazing and their photo styling is breathtaking. I obsess over every house/room they feature. In this mag, my favorite is Manhattan's couple Ethan Feirstein and Ari Heckman's bathroom. They painted it a glossy black temporarily, but fell in love with it - and so have I.  Here are some pictures of the New York men's club inspired bathroom:

[love the extendable shaving mirror & white flower - great contrast against the black]

"The glossy black walls really make the cleanness of the subway-tile shower and hexagonal white tile floors explode." - Feirstein [taken from bottom right excerpt]

Lonny features lots of designers - upcoming and established - and I love to read about their design aesthetics and style. I created a collage of some of my favorite quotes from this issue and I must say, I share a lot of the same opinions! Hope you love it as much as I do - enjoy!

RUBIE GREEN

I love this site. I have been keeping an eye on it for while and it has really been circulating the blog world lately. The site is gorgeous - I love the color scheme, the icons, the products, and everything about their style! Check out the awesome logo (top right) of the profiled girl with flowers beneath her. 

But, besides their fantastic site, they produce the most beautiful sheets, pillows, and accessories - and they are good for the environment! Here is a clip from their 'about us' section:

"Here at Rubie Green, our mission is to dress your surroundings in fabrics that represent vitality, energy, comfort and style, all while maintaining respect to the environment by using only 100% organic cotton. We believe in classic designs that are familiar to every decade, re-vitalized in an eco-friendly manner."

I hope they come out with more products in the future, but for the time being, I am quite satisfied with these beauties:

[LOVE this pillow. They also make it in a boudoir size that is also super cute. Would be PERFECT in Melrose's mauve-gray guest room. ***hint hint, future gift item for katie beth?? :)]

They also sell a variety of fabrics. I love this one (even though I don't know what I would do with it):

Hopefully, I will be able to post pictures of Melrose this weekend - after Jessica's wonderful wedding weekend. I have had a lot of outside projects consume me lately, but we have been busy, busy on the house. Brandon has really made the front AND back yards look fabulous + we had another weekend of Mom, Dad, & Allen's help so we got a lot accomplished and I hope to share all the pictures asap!
