Lonny + Traditional Home = Trad Home!
I have been waiting for the launch of Trad Home, the online collaboration between Lonny and Traditional Home, ever since I first heard the buzz a few(?) months ago.
The word “traditional” used to make me shiver but that has slowly changed since moving to Atlanta and into a traditional style home. Being a firm believer in respecting the style of house when designing the interiors, I began incorporating more traditional pieces into my home -Â somewhat reluctantly at first. As I did, I began to see it as the perfect backdrop for my Scandinavian and French leanings and now I completely embrace it.
I even began subscribing to Traditional Home (which I’ve been loving) and of course, I’ve loved Lonny from Day 1 so ever since I heard they were getting together, I’ve been waiting with bated breath. And the first issue does not disappoint with over 300 pages. Here are just some of my favorite shots.
(Did you notice the fig trees?) Head over to Trad Home to see much more. I’d love to hear what you think!

I have been anticipating this!
I liked the piece with jonathan adler and charlotte moss, didn’t you? but I’m kinda trying to break out of the traditional mold. being from the south, I’ve grown up with traditional and I’m so ready for a change. I really like Jeff Andrews’ take on traditional, and the photo you have of his is one of my faves of his. And I like Ryan Korban’s edgy traditional, too. I just gotta break away from all this dark furniture I see around me and figure out how to mix it up. Blogs are really helping but it’s a struggle for me to get it right in my own space…

Yes, that was a great feature! It’s funny – we’re coming from opposite sides of the spectrum and yet we love most of the same things.
awesome, I can’t wait to review over a big cup of coffee and soak in all the loveliness!

I need a fig tree!!
Loved the debut issue…it’s fabulous!!
I noticed the fig tree too. I have to get one!
I spent way too much time last night browsing through TradHome !
Living in a country where getting mail is a PIA and the home magazines not being in English, I am always so happy when I can see my magazines from “home” .. even if they are online.
I chose wallpaper and sofas last night.. lol… figured I would pretend I could buy what I see in the pages of Traditional Home and have them here. ( at least I can copy them here, maybe)..
I wonder if they sell Fig trees here..
Below- my blog from last night

It just goes to show less is more. The fig trees look beautiful by the way!
I really adored this first issue! It was chock full of gorgeous images…I spent a lot of time poring over them along with the articles. While I definitely appreciate rooms that are “traditional,” at first glance, I would affirm that this wasn’t my style, but I think this magazine re-defines the typical notion of “traditional” and makes it fresh as well as classic!
I can’t say enough how much I ADORED this first issue- there was just soooo much gorgeous packed into one issue. A total homerun if you ask me.
i loved the issue, ally! can’t wait to really delve into it this weekend when i have a little more time.
i’m determined to have a fig tree in my new home in dallas. pam
I am loving this magazine. I loved the video of Jonathan Adler and Charlotte Moss. Very clever!
Wow. Clearly, I am all alone here (or have been living overseas for too long) but I was disappointed. Everything and I mean every single little detail was too “perfect”, too matchy–the rooms presented did look like part of the coolest hotel in the universe but not a home. Maybe it was just the way it was all shot?
That’s interesting – do you think that about all the US publications or this one in particular?
We were thinking alike today!!
I loved it all!! Although my style is not completely traditional, I can see incorporating a little bit of the look into every room in the house. Can’t wait to see more!!
Looks pretty cool. I’ve been browsing it today and enjoying it.
This is a great collaboration – very exciting! Nice post.
