books // interiors by martyn thompson Posted by Helena

If it's possible to be in love with a house, then I'm definitely in love with this one. I could imagine myself living in Thomas O'Brien's house very happily. These photographs are by Martyn Thompson and are included in his book Interiors - a gorgeous interiors book full of people's houses and amazing, well, interiors! It's inspiring me a lot to nest at the moment... not a great thing when I'm moving countries in a few months!

design blogs // september industry Posted by Helena

The September Industry is a gorgeous blog that showcases some of the best international graphic and branding design I've seen. Everything's always photographed and styled beautifully and I always take the time to look at their posts properly! Here's a few photos from a recent post that Construct have done for Mulberry. I wish I could do design stuff like this!

I love a good infographic and wish I could design them myself! According to this one... I am definitely a geek, but I love Lord of the Rings.

Here's my Argos decorated bedroom. I'm not completely happy with it yet, but I've only been living here for a month or so and I'm on a pretty tight budget at the moment. Tuscany for Easter!

design // the selby: lyndsay and fitzhugh Posted by Helena

my old housemate alerted me to todd selby's website featuring peoples' houses, the selby, shortly after it started in 2008 and i've been following it avidly ever since. here's some of my favourite shots from brooklyn, new york in the latest post. owners lyndsay and fitzhugh are a jewellery designer and furniture designer respectively, and also work to build and decorate artistic homes with the brooklyn home company.

and a little blurb about todd selby just in case you haven't heard of him before...

Todd Selby is a portrait, interiors, and fashion photographer and illustrator. His project The Selby offers an insider’s view of creative individuals in their personal spaces with an artist's eye for detail. The Selby began in June 2008 as a website, www.theselby.com, where Todd posted photo shoots he did of his friends in their homes. Requests quickly began coming in daily from viewers all over the world who wanted their homes to be featured on the site. The Selby’s website became so popular—with up to 35,000 unique visitors daily—that within months, top companies from around the world began asking to collaborate.

These joint projects have included a large ad campaign and web project with Nike 6.0, a solo show at colette, an international ad campaign for Habitat, work for the New York Times T Magazine, and frequent contributions to Vogue Paris and Architectural Digest France. Todd’s first book, The Selby is In Your Place, will be released in May 2010 by Abrams.
