Give-away: The Selby is in your place
Last week the chicest book landed on my door stop. It was none other than the new book by Todd Selby called The Selby is in your place.
Todd Selby is a portrait, interiors and fashion photographer and illustrator. He took his love for photography and our love of wanting to know what is going in our neighbors home and produced The Selby. He started by photographing his friends in their personal spaces.
Of course his friends just exude cool. I know my home will never be on his site. I think it’s too normal, but it’s fun to see what others do in their own homes.
In flipping through the book I spotted one of my favorite interior designers home, Jonathan Adler.
Here is a peek of their content page. I love the use of illustrations instead of a traditional laundry list look.
Another fun touch in the book is a page of stickers!
The book is 255 pages of beautiful inspiration. Totally makes me remember to think outside the box when designing.
Of course I love to share so when they offered to send me a book I asked for an additional copy for a give-away.
Here is what you have to do to enter:
1. Make sure you are a follower of the blog.

Give-away will be open till 4/13 midnight EST.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I've never had a first comment before but I hope it's lucky!
Looks like a great book! 🙂 I would be more than happy to win.
