The Latest Lonny

Have any of you read the new September/October issue of Lonny yet? I skimmed through it late on Sunday night. I need to go back and actually read through it sometime soon. While I didn't have the time to adequately digest all of the written content, I did take in the visual content and per the usual, the interiors features were my primary focus. The New York home of Christian Leone, a Gilt Groupe exec was my favorite. The space is hip and swanky but also comfortable and the vintage aura feels effortless and authentic. I loved this shot of the living space with its poppy-colored lacquered walls...

I had the pleasure of meeting Christian a few years ago at a Gilt event. Gilt Groupe was in its infancy at that time and I got to chat at length with the founders and with higher-ups like Christian. Everyone from the company was so friendly and inspiring (they all have incredible resumes), but Christian was truly memorable. He could not have been more charming, fun, and gracious. I also got to meet his wonderful partner Malcolm James Kutner, who is an accomplished designer and was super warm and personable as well (he's a native Texan). Anyhow, after meeting the dynamic duo, it's really cool to see where they live!

Another space from the issue that caught my eye was this powder room designed by David Flint Wood. Can you believe that the "wallpaper" is actually a huge map from SkyMall?!? I love how it's used here with a traditional gilded mirror...so quirky and interesting.
