Lonny Love - Let's Talk About Leather

<i>Let's talk about leather baby, let's talk about you and me, let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be, let's talk aboooouuuut leather. Let's talk about leather.    Let's talk aboooouuuut leather.</i>  (obviously sing that in your head, or aloud, like Salt 'n' Pepa - and if you have no idea what I'm talking about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzfo4txaQJA">see here</a>)<br /><br />Basically, I was always like blech leather, hate it.  But now I'm like "hmm I like that room.  Wait what?  It has a leather sofa! How can that be?"<br /><br />Case in point, this room from <a href="http://www.lonny.com/magazine/January+February+2013/n0gZ2qHN5cu/1">the latest issue of Lonny</a>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH10tYSfe3-CD4X3uMRkGDQlwx8BBB6sLdM38ViW1p1sDBuna4kwX1CwpXdYzX-k5w0scGdBvbkAHfDTeN7jK1GkDcw9N6GS2my88AN0qi9SHl0JC3rI7Fxlbs9ID5cSkhS8UrLjfMvZw/s1600/Lonny+Jessica+Goranson+AARBo5q0TqWl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH10tYSfe3-CD4X3uMRkGDQlwx8BBB6sLdM38ViW1p1sDBuna4kwX1CwpXdYzX-k5w0scGdBvbkAHfDTeN7jK1GkDcw9N6GS2my88AN0qi9SHl0JC3rI7Fxlbs9ID5cSkhS8UrLjfMvZw/s640/Lonny+Jessica+Goranson+AARBo5q0TqWl.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyB_oxPR5xomQyBUk_b-lBZdFS2b2QJ6z2LUKydX6Zn3G7AxZEpxAwMqiyfYvFkUuk9TdJURWb-FdWHX0wWKcqXoLfgwWNk1iJTnyld0p4tUOycLvq5rXYmCuAtXGFLdgQPhS1e-m85s/s1600/Lonny+Jessika+Goranson+xnI1T-qYZlsl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyB_oxPR5xomQyBUk_b-lBZdFS2b2QJ6z2LUKydX6Zn3G7AxZEpxAwMqiyfYvFkUuk9TdJURWb-FdWHX0wWKcqXoLfgwWNk1iJTnyld0p4tUOycLvq5rXYmCuAtXGFLdgQPhS1e-m85s/s640/Lonny+Jessika+Goranson+xnI1T-qYZlsl.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Yep, leather.  And I love it.<br /><br />But BUT, then I spent two hours trying to make a moodboard for a leather sofa in our family room and I just couldn't make it work.  I think the problem is that our family room is huge and we definitely need two sofas and a couple of chairs and <i>two</i> leather sofas feels like too much.  But I'm considering maybe incorporating it into our master bedroom sitting room, which is tiny and dark and cozy <i>and</i> has a fireplace (I know, I have no idea how we got so lucky).  I think it might work better in there.  Of course, nothing would be happening anytime soon.  I'm just in the mood for more textures and less patterns.  I want clean, classic, cozy and kid-friendly (and apparently alliterative). <br /><br />What are your thoughts on leather?  <br /><br />Also, what are your thoughts on the Golden Globes?  Do you have as big of a girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence as I do?  Why was Tommy Lee Jones so grumpy? Do you find Ann Hathaway as exhausting as I do?  I know, that's not very nice of me, I'm super crabby today.  <br /><br />Let's all watch <a href="http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/50456442#50456442">this adorable video</a> and start Monday on a good note:<br /><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" height="245" id="msnbc2fa21d" width="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" /><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=50456442&width=420&height=245" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed name="msnbc2fa21d" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" width="420" height="245" FlashVars="launch=50456442&width=420&height=245" allowscriptaccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><br /><div style="background: transparent; color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 5px; text-align: center; width: 420px;">Visit NBCNews.com for <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; color: #5799DB !important; font-weight: normal !important; height: 13px; text-decoration: none !important;">breaking news</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; color: #5799DB !important; font-weight: normal !important; height: 13px; text-decoration: none !important;">world news</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; color: #5799DB !important; font-weight: normal !important; height: 13px; text-decoration: none !important;">news about the economy</a></div><br />xo Team!

Heyy Fall!

Loverly Rooms from Leta Austin Foster

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hey y'all! Hope you had a lovely weekend! My littlest sissy Laura (y'all know her as <a href="http://belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2011/07/lulus-listing.html">Lulu</a>) came in town to spend some quality time with her nephew.  Edward is a walking machine, which is rather bizarre given his size and the fact that he just turned 10 months. It's just weird to see my little baby walk into the room like a grown-up. As The Suze says, "he's walkin' short."I think back to the early days when I felt like I just held him on the couch all day and I'm really glad I savored those moments and didn't let the guilt that I should be up and doing something get to me too much.  What?

Good morning y'all! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  I feel like I've been gone forever.  As you know <a href="http://belclairehouse.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Suze">The Suze</a> was in town last week and then I flew to Tampa to give my dear friend Lindsay a baby shower.  You may remember her <a href="http://belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/lindsays-baby-boy-nursery-im-mood-board.html">nursery moodboard</a> I created for her.  I'll have some pictures later this week of how she interpreted my ideas for her little baby man, as well as a few from the shower.  I also hope to have more <a href="http://belclairehouse.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Suzeday%20Files">Suzeday Files</a> for you as well. <br /><br />Today, I have may faves from the May/June 2011 issue of <a href="http://www.lonnymag.com/">Lonny</a>.  It's full of inspirational goodies!<br /><br />First up, the New Orleans home of <a href="http://www.perch-home.com/">Perch</a> owner Caroline Robert.  If you read the blog <a href="http://visualvamp.blogspot.com/">Visual Vamp</a> , you know all about Perch.  If you don't, then go check it out!
