Crushing

I'm sure everyone has seen the newest issue of Lonny. Of course, it's drool-worthy, but designer Hillary Thomas really blew me away. Her design aesthetic is right up my alley. I often struggle with what to call my own style, and hers is what I strive for.  Lonny titled the article "Vintage Nouveau" which sounds kind of like an oxymoron to me, but what do I know? Anyway, on to the eye candy . . .

Notice all the Chinoiserie, which I love. She even mentions Circa Who as a source which is where I got my pagoda chandelier.

More Chinoiserie with pagoda cabinet. How cool is that? I need that bedding.

Must have that chair. I realize I sound needy.

And some shots from her portfolio . . . 

Notice the Brno chair? I actually have that mirrored lamp on the right side of the desk. Love those pagoda lamps too.

The unexpected, gigantic photos really shake up the room.

So, what do you think of my newest design crush?
