Favorite Rooms from Lonny Mag's March/April Issue

I'm really excited that Lonny is back after a litte hiatus - seems like it's better than ever! I think my favorite addition is the new globe symbol, which indicates items made in a socially responsible manner. Here are a few of my favorite rooms from the issue:

L.A.-based designer Tobi Tobin's house looks like a Nancy Meyers set (The Holiday, anyone?) - it's all muted, soothing colors, natural light streaming in through huge windows, and a generally sunny, relaxing California feel.

I love the use of mirrors on the left; that way, the eye isn't drawn to the television. On the right, I can't imagine a cheerier, cozier breakfast nook. 

Wow. I could definitely get used to a view like that.

 Anna Burke, a designer for Kemble Interiors, has punctuated her West Village apartment with bursts of pattern and color.

In a small space, covering just one wall in this flower bomb of a wallpaper injects a sense of whimsy without becoming dizzying.

Small spaces require lots of creativity - and these industrial-feeling wall mounted lamps are an ingenious, non-fussy space saver.

I'm all too familiar with the limitations of a teeny-weeny bathroom (especially challenging when you're almost 6'), and I love the way she didn't let the size stop her from making the space stand out.
