Eight months after saying good-bye city, hello country, here are the pictures you've been waiting for! At long last Lonny, the new online magazine from Michelle Adams and partner Patrick Cline is finally live, and we're thrilled our farmhouse is a part of it! Even in the good days, the magazine world was smaller than you might think. Press events felt like reunions, where editors would get together for drinks, throw competition to the wind, and...well...you know the rest. Back then, Michelle was at Domino, while I was at Martha. Flash forward a few years, and there's a new title in town—Lonny, named after dual design meccas London and New York. Now here's a no-holds-barred magazine for the times: 200 or so pages of online eye candy packed with ideas and inspiration. In a way, it's Domino reincarnate and, judging from the clamor, it's exactly what we need.
It seems like ages ago that Michelle and Patrick came up to the country to shoot for the day. Summer had just begun, the lettuces I'd planted small but firm—perfect for a light lunch on the porch, one of our very first of the season. At that point, Lonny was still very much a work in progress, an idea hatched out of the void Domino and others left behind. What it would become Jaithan and I weren't quite sure (a feeling all too familiar), but the company we'd keep (Deborah, Grace, among others) was reason enough to open our doors—and our lives—to Lonny. Enjoy, everyone!
Remember the butler's pantry before we moved in?
Here's that dollar-store skirted sink in the making!
A huge thank you to Michelle and Patrick for including us in the premiere issue! Even in close quarters...
we managed to get it all done!
Finally, a parting shot more country chic than any other: Michelle, holding a polaroid from the day, moments before they left...
i love everything about your place, it's perfection! xo susan

Gorgeous place...I love everything you did. Congrats!
Posted by: Kathy | November 08, 2009 at 06:40 AM
Your house looks so beautiful. Your taste in interior is flawless. It sounded silly when I said this but you are refined. You and your boyfriend always dress impeccably (reminded me of Dirk Bogarde and Tony Forwood's era where you'll see the couples in colour co-ordinated shirt and cravat. Please see the photo in this following link as an example. http://www.dirkbogarde.co.uk/archive/photos/index.php)

You've come a long way baby!!!! I can't believe I haven't been up to see you, Jaithan and your gorgeous home ... Let's change that in November! Xo

How do I get a copy? There is such a void without my favorite magazines and this is sooo right for me. Love it.
Posted by: Sue | October 08, 2009 at 05:30 PM
Hi Eddie!
Your homestead is really chic and homey all at the same time - very nice! The sconce with the bird nest caught my eye. Last year I had a family of sparrows build a nest in a hanging basket right outside my door!
I could not be in Washington DC for the "DC big flea" although I wanted to be there. I am sure it was a very fun event!
Thanks Eddie. Ciao.

Wow..Eddie really love this photo shoot...I really wasn't into the whole Lonny thing because it was on-line and I spend so much time w'blogs, etc. But now after seeing your great place...lovely, gentle but not out of this world, million dollar home no one can afford these days in real life. Thanks for the inspiration, Roberta
Posted by: Roberta | October 06, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Eddie, what a lovely editorial! I was so excited to see your home in full bloom on the glossy pixel pages of Lonny. This new magazine looks beautiful and thoughtful. Congrats on being included. I'm fabulously impressed with your home. xo, Bec

You know what they say, when life gets to be to much...You need to move out into the country! Good for you two! Great mag spread too.

You won't believe it, just drove up for a couple of hours to the lamp shop and came back tired, still to run to games with the kids and now checking on my favorite bloggers and find your fabulous home at Lonny's brand new online magazine!
Congrats! It's so glamorous! Love the detail shots, great job!
Big hug!
Posted by: Victoria Zlotkowski | October 05, 2009 at 11:31 PM
What a beautiful layout of your home, Eddie and Jaithan! I savored every detail while enjoying the article.
Now I must ask you, are those miniature horses yours? They are absolutely adorable!
Hugs,
Debbie
Posted by: Debbie | October 05, 2009 at 05:35 PM
Eddie & Jaithan! What a pleasure to see your "spread" -- as in the spread of your new abode, a spread across a lovely table, and a magazine spread.
Posted by: Sharon in Chicago | October 05, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Loved your place and loved the magazine - posted about it on my blog today with a little link back to you. Bravo on a beautiful home. Enjoyed the pics you included of Michelle and Patrick in action.

Posted by: Pink Wallpaper | October 05, 2009 at 08:48 AM
It's fabulous, Eddie. I too have moved from the city (Los Angeles) to the country (outside of Philadelphia) and we are buying an old house with big plans to fix it up. I was SO INSPIRED when I read your post in January about your big move (bye bye city, hello country!) and have been waiting to catch a glimpse of your new (old) home!
I gave a little scream at my office when I saw you and Jaithan in Lonny! Your home is terrific and I thank you for bringing "chic" into a historic country home. Looking forward to many more issues of Lonny!!!

PLEASE peek at my latest workbench masterpiece ... I'd love your feedback
Posted by: savvycityfarmer | October 04, 2009 at 08:13 PM
I just loved everything about the new magazine and all the fab pics. I wish I could have this in hard copy. You actually made me sort of like Country chic LOL.
Posted by: Sandra@Botany's | October 04, 2009 at 06:06 PM
Sorry guys. I will have to look at this later, after I get over the unflattering picture of gorgeous (well usually gorgeous) Jaithan and the shot of Eddie's bare white feet. Ok. Now I can enjoy the house. I am so looking forward to it. Thank you in advance.
Posted by: Barbara Nieder | October 04, 2009 at 05:45 PM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your home. It was just what I expected plus more. Great way to show off your country home.

Posted by: maren s | October 04, 2009 at 02:33 PM
Eddie and Jaithan you're both geniuses! You should turn your beautiful home into a B&B so I can come and stay forever. I promise to clean up after myself. Congratulations, I love your home!
Posted by: yansy | October 04, 2009 at 02:32 PM
Only Eddie would have an Uncle who just happened to have a zebra rug! And, on top of that, it looks spectacular in a farmhouse. Obviously what we can't see is the back breaking work that goes into such beauty.
Posted by: cj | October 04, 2009 at 02:06 PM
What a wonderful way to spend a cozy Sunday morning at home- a new feature on you guys wasn't only inspiring but also led me to a fabulous new magazine! THANK YOU!

Posted by: Kate | October 03, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Eddie...it's just easy and chic and cozy and everything a charming country home should be. You are one smart cookie...you didn't change the feel of it, you just brought the elegant feel of the city into a farm home...Love it!!! You both did a great job, but you know that :) The old sink in the loo is so great. I grew up in an old rectory being a preacher's kid, and we had those old sinks too. Ooh...and the wee horses out back! That is too cute for words, I'm done!

Loved seeing your house in Lonny! One of my favorite shots was the bedroom dresser with the gorgeous blue in the background. Couldn't be sure but think it's a tri-fold screen. Oh all the accents in the bathroom - inspiring.
Thanks for your kind comments about my yellow/gray tablescape. Looking forward to the HGTV Halloween special!
