The Life Eclectic

This past week, my monthly post ran on the At Home in Arkansas blog. It was a round-up of the eclectic spaces that are inspiring me right now. I loved doing the post but I should have remembered to stop by The Selby to include some images of John Demsey's townhouse. This place is marvelous. Every square inch is covered is some vibrant, artistic detail. Everything about it makes me smile. I'm not sure that I could live in such chaos but it sure is fun to look at. All photos via The Selby -- check out the rest here (these few snapshots are just the tip of the iceberg).

Mix Masters

ELLE Decor

The art of mixing prints and patterns is not to be taken lightly. I love colorful prints and love to see designers incorporating many of them at once, but it is not easily done! Before I try it myself I'm drawing inspiration from the masters.

Some people say to stay within the same color scheme, while others follow their own rules. I'm thinking I'll try a combination of both!

Chez Pharrell

Have you guys seen the photos of my bff Pharrell's Miami mansion on The Selby?? We all know I'm obsessed with him, and I've posted photos of his house and art collection before, but these were too good not to post!!

I'd jam with him on his lucite piano.

I really love his art collection!

I love the bizarre furniture...

... and the Louis V. trunk collection.

When can I move in???

Hungry like the Wolfe

To say that I like Tom Wolfe would be a huge understatement. The Bonfire of the Vanities, The Right Stuff , and I am Charlotte Simmons are some of my favorite books of all time. And we all know I love a good read. 

So when I stumbled across some photos of Wolfey's office on The Selby I couldn't be more thrilled! Here are some of my favoritos but be sure to check out the rest when you get a chance. 

This lamp is the bee's knees. Can't get over it.
