Love at First Read.....

So, you all know that I am obsessed with magazines. And also that I am a huge fan of Lonny, which is a digital magazine developed by the editors of the much loved and very sorely missed - Domino magazine. If you haven’t subscribed to Lonny yet, you better get on it right away. You will not be sorry!



Well, now I have added another digital magazine to my repertoire.

I know, I know, I have too much time on my hands with reading all these magazines, but as I said, I am addicted. The editors of Traditional Home Magazine have collaborated with my much-loved Lonny in an effort to inspire a new generation of traditional design lovers. And the outcome of this collaboration is the new and very wonderful magazine, TRADhome.



The new magazine is designed to reach “a younger generation of readers” and will feature a blend of content from both Lonny and Traditional Home. The first issue went live today and a second issue will follow in September.

This is the new traditional and I LOVE IT!



If Traditional Home magazine is a little too stuffy and formal for your taste, maybe you’ll like its new offspring. I absolutely love it! But I am a transitional gal who loves both modern and traditional styles.

This is not stuffy to me!



Here is one tidbit I read somewhere that I think sums it up for us design addicts... TRADhome is part Jamie Drake, part Dorothy Draper. Mid-century modern meets Rococo. Kelly Wearstler takes on Louis XVI.

And these Louis XVI chairs are anything but formal!



Aren't they totally fun! And from Ballard Designs - one of our favorite catalogs!

So grab a glass of wine or a nice cup of joe and snuggle up with your laptop to read this wonderful new magazine. It is a really long first issue at 347 pages but it just means there is that much more to drool over!

So here, drool a little bit more...













I hope you enjoy the first issue of TRADhome as much as I did!
