Do you get as excited as I do when I receive my latest design magazines? I tell you I’m possitively giddy when my House and Home or Style at Home issues arrive each month, and that excitement was in full force this morning when I woke up….the new Lonny Magazine issue was available! Even my lack of sleep {ask my kiddos about that one} didn’t put a damper on it. {If you aren’t familiar with Lonny Magazine, click HERE for the rundown or visit their site directly…it won’t disapoint!}
Now I’m sure every design blogger out there will be writing about the latest issue, but I couldn’t resist joining in and sharing a few images with you all. It’s funny how many people will read the same thing, see the same picture, but different details will strike them you know? This issue was all about little details for me…and the common thread amongst all these images is My Favourite Things.
We all have design details that we never tire of….items/textures/colours/techniques that we just don’t get sick of, and that we’d happily live with continually. Here are a few of mine, courtesy of Lonny!
WHEN CAN I MOVE IN? Natural weathered shingles, crisp white trim, a lil bit of aged brick, and some mullioned windows.

Does it get any more perfect than teak loungers with navy cushions {white piping of course}? I love how perfectly IMPERFECT this back yard is. Relaxed elegance.
Paneling with a twist {black painted insets}, marble, topiary, eclectic mix of bathroom storage.
Vintage tile {White Octagon and Black Dot}
Hands down favourite tiles EVER {Subway and Hexagon…just ask my husband about my Hex tile obsession}
Black Walls in a Small Room, Greek Key, Sepia Photographs, Rectangular Pedestal Sink

Bookshelf Brimming with Good Reads, Art Hung Over Bookshelf
Crisp White Walls, Crystal Obelisk, X-Bench, Great Art, Found Objects, Ebony Floors
Coffered Ceiling, Subway Tile, Ebony Floors, Navy Barstools, Simple/Functional Kitchen
Black-Rimmed Windows, Graphic Pillows, Touch of Aged Gold
FABULOUS Black Door With Round Detail, Upholstered Headboard with Nailhead Trim, Modern Chair Paired with Wood Desk, Antique Statue, Wall Mounted Sconce, White Linens…AND DID I MENTION I’M BANANAS FOR THAT DOOR?
Black and White Striped Wallpaper Contrasted with Wood
Thank you Lonny for all the inspiration… I loved stumbling across so many of My Favourite Things!

I love all the images you’ve shared Karla, and all the little details that you have pointed out. You’re right, we all see the same images but pick-up on so many different things. So many people are all a-buzz about this issue, I must go check it out now!!

Hi there! I share your obsession with Lonny…sort of makes up for the loss of Domino, at least as well as anything could. Love your blog!

…Thanks for the images & the commentary…..!
Like you, I get so excited when the latest design mags get delivered! My problem lately is that I can never seem to find a time to sit down and really go through them. Now there’s a backlog and the pile is nagging at me. My husband is going on a fishing trip next week which means I’ll probably devote myself to magazines and trashy tv while he’s away
Love the details you’ve shared from Lonny. My mother has that same vintage x bench languishing in her garage and I nearly brought it home when I visited last week. Seeing that photo makes me wish I had.
Hi Karla!
Thank you so much for posting so many nice things about Lonny Magazine! We love your blog over here and are super grateful for your support.
