They say you can’t keep a good man, woman or in this case Idea down.
When Domino magazine seized publication 8 months ago design junkies and hip DIYers let out a communal cry from coast to coast. A favorite of the blogging world, the magazine and their online site provided much fodder and inspiration. The post I wrote about Jenna Lyon’s use of chalkboard paint in her Brooklyn townhouse as featured on Domino’s cover still gets hits on a daily basis, this many months later.
Domino struck a chord indeed. The homes, the apartments, the gardens, fashions, products and style ideas all seemed excitingly accessible. You admire and oh-and-ah them, but ultimately you say to yourself-”I could do that!”
Rumors had been flying about that there was an online magazine in the works, by the end of this summer rumors gave way to an actual launch day…and this weekend it has officially arrived.
LONNY is in the house!
Co-created by Michelle Adams and Patrick Cline (the name- a moniker of the two design mecca’s of London and New York), the maiden issue is chalk full of so many beautiful images and tips, you’ll only be sorry that you can’t start tearing pages the minute you begin your virtual flip through. (Note to self- buy more printer ink).
With the homes of Eddie Ross, Grace Bonney and former Domino Magazine founder and Editor-in-Chief herself Deborah Needleman featured in amazingly beautifully shot spreads that are notably way grander in length than most print magazines, the chatter around the blogosphere no doubt has begun.
Here’s a few images that ‘rocked my houseboat’ the first go-through, just to wet your whistle- enjoy!
Take a look and let me know what color and style inspirations you will be taking home? I’m totally copying Deborah Needleman’s round table full of green, growing beauty- already have a well lit corner picked out.
I loved the issue but call me old fashioned I would still rather have a magazine to hold and read….xv
Vicki Archer´s last blog ..Style…
I am CRAZY over it!!!! I do wish I could have it all printed out & in a magazine too though!!
Lauren Liess´s last blog ..Switching Life over for Fall
I just love it! For so much anticipation I think it totally lived up to it! I think that my favorite takeaway is the black and white shelf styling!
There is a God!

Hooray for LONNY! I can hardly hold back my excitement. Having experience designing interiors and tracking trends for major shelter and lifestyle magazines I know the extreme amount of work that goes into creating even just one issue. And I totally agree with Vicki and Lauren that part of the appeal of a magazine is holding it your hand and displaying it on your coffee table, but unfortunately for many publications it is cost prohibitive and I hate to say it but for the majority the option to print is dying quickly. I just hope the ones that are still in print can stay in print, so if you want your favorite magazine to stick around rally up all your friends and get SUBSCRIPTIONS!!!! That’s just my two cents on the subject.
I hope that LONNY can create the same feel through their photography and deign that Domino did, that is truly what made Domino so spectacular and can do the same for LONNY! I will definitely be hanging around their site often.
