"colorful, quirky, vintage & bazaar"

These are the things Selina Lake is into. And boy is she good at using these elements in her interiors. Lucky for us Selina’s gorgeous interiors are showcased page after delightful page in her new book Bazaar Style. My copy finally arrived yesterday after months of waiting, and after flipping through it I see that it was worth every minute.

Stylist-extraordinaire, Selina Lake has an eye for style and an uncanny knack for arranging old and new objects in fresh, fuss-free ways. Her style is graceful, feminine and romantic. It’s chic and casual. A self-professed rummager of flea markets, Selina is always on the look-out for treasures. Clever details, flowery patterns and bright pops of color show up again and again in her spaces.

If you’re into this, you should pick up a copy of her book. At the very least, check out her portfolio. And if you’re like me you’ll be wishing you could crawl right into some of the photos. Every room is warm and inviting and just feels special. These are the places where you feel so at home you think nothing of kicking your shoes off and putting your feet up on the coffee table. Or curling up in that oversized lounge chair for a long nap. The places where good friends show up again and again to spend long afternoons with lots of chatting and laughing.

This is the kind of home I hope to have.
