good reads: the selby.
the selby is right up there on my top ten list of favorite websites. i love todd selby’s candid photography and the personal glimpses into his subjects’ eccentric and eclectic homes and studios. who doesn’t love a chance to snoop into creative thinkers’ homes?
now, the selby has a fantastic new coffee table book out, aptly entitled, the selby. i could pour over this book for days and days, and have a good feeling i’ll be coming back to the selby time after time for little nuggets of grand inspiration. here’s a look at the selby.

friends & neighbors: swinging with the selby.
i saw this home of hotelier sean macpherson over on the selby, and thought, i’ll bet everyone fights to sit in the swing chair. it’s just so unexpected and juxtaposed with the rest of his eclectic and slightly eccentric furnishings. what fun to have a swing in your living room! as always, i do love interiors brought to us by the selby — for more, pop on over.

a selby selection.

i know it’s just a bloody alt summit love fest today, but i swear, we just can’t help it (why do i imagine all my fellow bloggers will be just as smitten?). however, i come back to san francisco, not only re-juiced and re-energized to bring you even better content, but also so inspired for my apartment makeover! there’s nothing like a little creative kick in the proverbial butt. i’m always in love with interior images from the selby, and over the weekend felt compelled to hunt for more. i love the selby, because i can be inspired from eclectic images and creative people from all over the world. here’s just a few favorites.
[ and, next up today - new favorite blogs discovered at alt summit!]

friends & neighbors: the selby.
i love the selby, and there’s a wonderful post up about Dan Martensen and Shannan Click’s country home. Wow, what a place. I could live there at a moment’s notice. what an amazing upstate new york retreat. for more wonderful photos of their home and the big barn they use as an artist’s studio, check out the selby.

spend a little time with the selby.
one of my favorites parts of the unexpected guests posts are reading about the guests’ favorite places, and daily reads. i usually end up discovering something i’ve been missing and i’m way late to the show for! yesterday kim ludy introduced us to the selby. i feel as though i’d glanced upon it before, but never had the time to give the site it’s proper due.
the selby features photographs, paintings and videos by new york-based photographer todd selby of interesting people and their creative spaces. todd found himself curious (i know the feeling!) about what creative peoples’ living spaces looked like and how they might reflect their personalities, and thus started the selby. these images are so personal, candid and so fantastic! here’s a glimpse, but go back for more of the selby. oh, and check out the selby store for their books on sydney & paris, and some cute bags, t’s and posters, too!
