Wow.
I practically trembling over the excitement I feel after just finishing looking at what is going to be my new #1 source of inspiration. No longer will I need to feel the exquisite pangs of sadness when Domino no longer arrives in my mailbox, because Lonny Magazine, the online brainchild of Michelle Green (of the fabric company Rubie Green) and Patrick Cline has launched and they have outdone themselves on so many levels.  Not only are the styles and editorial concepts pure genius and very Domino-esque, the ability to "flip through pages"  and click on an item you see featured and be brought right to the website for purchase is a dream. They have a rocketing success on their hands and I'm in awe of their hard work and drive to make something so beautiful for the public to enjoy. I bow down to you this morning, Michelle and Patrick. I hope you are off celebrating in a really huge way!
Now, to get myself involved somehow.... :)
Just check out some of the images from the first issue of Lonny and try not to spend an entire hour devouring it like I just did.

There are a lot of exciting and dynamic places to live in Boston- the bustling and luxurious Back Bay, the European feeling South End, gritty turned glam Southie or green and funky Jamaica Plain. But the hottest new area to be developed is Fort Point Channel. Bridging the financial district and the waterfront, this industrialized area has condo and apartment buildings popping up left and right- but none as heralded as FP3. Designed by the prolific and oft-published Hacin+ Associates, this new condo building offers up sleek modern space in the heart of this exciting "new" area of Boston. And just to show it off a bit more, they have teamed up with Boston Magazine to design a concept home in one of the penthouses with some of Boston's best home design vendors. And here is a sneak peek into the space! Be sure to check out the Concept Home site for lists of events that will be coming up in the penthouse! Who wouldn't want to attend a party here?

The building:

It's gonna cost you, but it's so worth it. At $5.95 an issue in the US, Canadian House & Home is a bit pricier than most magazines (not quite as pricey as my other international favorite, living,etc. though). I've written about how awesome they are before, but the issue I picked up yesterday made me 100% confident is declaring this the official Domino replacement. Now, it does suck that some of the sources are only in Canada, but for inspirational purposes, there isn't anything that comes closer to the DIY/high-low/creative and bold vibe that Domino gave us all. Just look at this spread of Style Director Michel Penney's apartment- a total "on a budget" masterpiece!

I could have scanned like 30 other pictures from this issue alone! It's truly genius and so accessible for those of us on a budget, yet totally inspiring visually for any price point!
