Hi! First night in new place! So exciting! I felt like I was playing house because it felt so surreal to have a place all my own.
I live dangerously close to an Italian restaurant (2 doors down). I’m afraid I will be running over there constantly!
Everything is still in disarray but arranging and decorating is the fun part, right?
I’m very much looking forward to having friends over, hosting dinner parties and utilizing my bar cart!
I can’t wait to share photos with you…
…hoping to put my best face forward for a productive and wonderful week filled with racks of dresses in my dressing room…
a light, neutral palette …
some antiquing…
shelves full of books…
the perfect drapes…
creative shoe displays…
…and enjoying the late sunsets while we still can.

New Lonny is out! Ahhh…just in time for me to decorate my house! The move-in has been pushed back because my landlord has offered to paint the whole house. I readily agreed. It NEEDED IT. Some inspiration from Lonny a la Elements of Style:
I’ll share some of my faves later.
In my new bungalow, I’m planning to use the second bedroom as a “dressing room” as posted here. For some reason, all of the closets are doorless, so I’d like to set up a screen to close off the closet and provide a little changing area. I’m envisioning Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes (here is the scene). Of course, lovely mirrored screens, like those found on 1stdibs are a bit out of price range. So, I might have to settle for something less dramatic. I’ve found a few lovelies on overstock. Thoughts? The room is sortof black and red, I haven’t decided whether or not to paint but the screen would be on the black side.
1-3 & 6 are 1stdibs but the rest are overstock! I’m leaning towards the faux croc screens (4 & 12).
Screens: one, two, three, four, five, six (I die), seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen
