I love The Selby period. It's fascinating to see into creative people's personal spaces from Todd Selby's view point. Selby is also sought after by world renowned corporations for collaborations, and recently did a shoot for Fendi celebrating The Whispered Grand Tour. The Whispered is Fendi's guide to Italian master craftsmen...
These photos are from that shoot. And the candy is from here, Moriondo e Gariglio... 
Wow!
The sweet, funny illustrations drew me in, but the story -- dryly, darkly hilarious -- was the kicker. It's home with us now, the newest addition to the library. Today I've found the New York Times book review, Klassen's tumblr, and a fun interview with him here. Definitely buy this one for your little one... or for yourself.
What will you do with your hour?
I really love this little guy. He belongs to Linnea, whose dad made him when she was young. I confess I have a design crush on her (posted about Linnea and Uusi here and here). 
The decor is clean, modern and really fun with so many custom pieces and fantastic textures throughout. It's completely sophisticated, while retaining all the natural elements --rough hewn beams, reclaimed lumber, chinking, stone, leather, and metals-- that evoke the West and are warm, cozy and solid when you come in from the raging snow. And I love its low, unassuming exterior profile: not overly showy at all. This home was pointed out to me by a friend whose cousin built it. You can see more of it in Mountain Living.
An Edouard-Wilfred Buquet floor lamp, a Moroccan carpet, a Donald Sultan screenprint, and a Tiffany desk set. I hope you go browse the catalogue for more.
The sofa, lamp and sheep are at the NYDC, where 1st Dibs dealers have showrooms on the 10th floor. I'd love to visit. The chairs are from this week's new listings. The sheep's pretty fun, huh? Happy Wednesday!
Fresh, cool and comforting all at the same time. It is the apartment of photographer and modernist collector John Coolidge, featured in last week's NY Times. Read more about it here.
School starts next week. Ugh. I could definitely go back to the beach, and so could Eddie. How about you?
A pair of Ilse Jacobsen rain boots (any style, size, color!) just in time for Fall...
and a beautiful necklace by Asa Daxberg (I happen to know these necklaces are lovely because I won one last year!). Visit Splendid Willow, From The Right Bank and Haute Design by August 26th to enter. Good Luck!
We've had an almost two-week vacation with family on the East Coast. We spent most of the visit in Newport, RI, which we love. We're home now. I hope you have the happiest of weekends. Enjoy these last days of Summer break!
Watermarked III, a unique wood relief print by Deborah Weiss. Originally seen in New England Home, where you can read more about her art and her process. Ms. Weiss has a show opening today at The White Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. 
Thankfully our campsite was only a few miles from home. In fact, we could see our home way down in the valley. Happy Tuesday!
Stunning.
