snow smarts, lonny and that bitch jillian michaels..

we are on day 3 of no school due to snow and ice in georgia. 

it doesn't help that the entire state of georgia has 11 snow plows to work through this shit.

that's just not snow smarts.

just like new orleans didn't practice hurricane smarts a few years ago. 

if it can happen it will happen.

so buy some more fucking snow plows georgia!

 

can i just say that if mom's were in charge of the universe there would never be a shortage of snowplows.

 

so.. thanks non- mom dummies.

 

i have had -10 hours on my computer while my child has had +72 hours.

i tried to take advantage of the down time by working out with jillian michaels.

he she is scary.

 

i am pretty sure this is an early picture of her:

which makes her mad to think about.

so seeing your fat makes her murderish.

 

i work out 4-5 days a week. so i am no stranger to exercise.

but every time i do what this woman tells me to 

there is major body trauma.

so now i feel like i was in a car accident.

 

 

thank god for lonny.

you came just in time yesterday.

i poured a glass of wine and stuck my foot in fiona's behind and told her to get the F out.

not really.

(no really!)

here's what i liked:

simple, thoughtful, layered,  not over-decorated.

 

tolix, a view, boxwoods and my most favorite bit- the lavender lilacs with the yellow dish.  probably a happy accident.

 

serge, view, california..

 

cozy and collected.  but not cluttered. 

(after looking at this image again, i realized i would like it better wo all the fornasetti. not a big fan of it.)

 

no lucite. no parsons. no gallery art.  WIN!

 

surprised how well all of this works together. 

 

love. everything. 

 

mirrors=smart

LOVE the pendant.

 

happy, comfy, pretty.  

 

 

yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!!!!

the bed the bed the bed the bed!

 

 

perfect. 

wouldn't change a thing.

 

lonny thoughts you?

 

lonny * * * spoilers

my december lonny experience was delightful.

and let me say that i think a holiday issue every year is in order.

 

highlights for me were as follows:

always a sucker for black painted furniture and small space scenarios done well.

 

appealing to my penal side. 

 

 

cooking appeal.

 

 

while not able to adorn my coffee table with moss, twigs, pomegranates and cookies perched in bowls of sugar for the holidays bc of 4 cats who would tear that shit up and then die-  i think it is perfectly delightful.  

 

everything is just lovely.  

down to the floral arrangement.

 

bookcase of the day.

 

merry christmas lonny.

thank you.

 

lonny. meh?

*sigh*

kath kidston's place was...cute...cheery...bright..some of it would make my eyes bleed after a while...i did like the bedroom's color palette:

 mushroom, red and white with dark wood.

the walls (i think) are striaed.  i like this.  adds texture.

hate the motel 6 curtains.

junky bedside tables for a photoshoot..yay or nay?

some might say this is good bc it shows real living..

 

vincent wolf's montauk house..

homie loves to prop up a picture. (and a mirror)

pretty and relaxed as this place was, i was woefully bored.

 

the brougham fellow.

loved the brown plaid chairs.

unexpected and great with the deep gray.

a pretty vignette.

 

and the ryan korban designed space was lovely..

 

somebody boho jenschke:

that lamp is fantastic.

 

this place was giving us lots of west elm..

overall i did enjoy this place.

overall i enjoyed lonny.  just no supremelove.

better than this month's house (not)beautiful.

 

eye bleeder:

 

some thoughts:

rachel ashwell's london flat: was this some sort of homage?

it failed to inspire.

kath kidston's place got the most coverage while rachel ashwell's coverage was marginal.

i liked all of these spaces

..but i am starting to feel like maybe we are getting too many little shots of cups on a table filled with feathers...or......

while i like these shots and i get the point..

i feel somewhat frustrated by them.

do you hear me people?

thoughts?

 

lonny is fucking with me.

hey.

check this out.

i spent the better part of 2 hours today (what does that mean? "the better part"??)

what? where am i?

seriously.

i re-wrote the lonny post i started yesterday and thanks to you guys who subscribe to my rss feed i just copy/pasted from that into a new post window.  gay love.

but then i tweaked it and added more pictures and doodles.

i even drew an awesome image of my thumb doing the "thumb's up" sign.

i was all excited to share and open the lonny discussion when i went to remove an image that i wasn't feelin' and accidentally hit "cancel" and bammmm!!

 

that shit was gone forever.

kaiser soze style.

i emailed squarespace and said please for the love of sweet christ tell me i can get that shit back!!!

they were like..

nope.

you are indeed fucked.

so...

i simply cannot do it again.

you understand.

i think we are all in agreement that lonny needs to give the bar carts, wallpapering every inch of a room, bookshelf shots and rehashing of previous issues in general a rest.

aren't we?

 

moving right on..

to this:

aka next project.

my fairy godmother of furniture, susie gave me this kingsize faux bamboo headboard all regency and shit.

 

 

it will be white.

 

aaaaaaand....

 

ghetto pool is back:

holla.

lonny post

"i'm hoppin' mad!"

 

 

so yesterday i was working on a lonny post around the time i was also cooking dinner (fucking multitasking!!)

i hit the save button so that my halibut wouldn't overcook and went to attend to my dinner.

so i picked up my blackberry and saw that i had comments...it posted???

huh?

i still don't quite understand squarespace.

can anyone out there who uses squarespace tell me how to save a post without posting it so that i can work on it over a period of time??

 i ran to my desk and had to remove the whole thing which will just delete the post.

so i have to start over.

which i will.

 sorry if you're all...holy shit where did that lonny post go? this is all way too harry potter for me.

it will be back today i promise.

word.
