LA in its sprawling nature encompasses all kinds of homes: large, small, in the hills, in the valleys, by the beach, expensive, cheap. We cover a lot of them in our House Tours and love any excuse to peak inside people's spaces. Check out these uber hip LA interiors (and no they're not sets for Urban Outfitters):
They're just really hip interiors from regular people documented by The Selby. Our favorite part? The last 2 photos are original: those aren't revival styles or thrift store finds, those homes were decorated in those eras and haven't changed since. Man, everything old is new again!

I like and appreciate the Selby a whole lot for the interiors it choses to document; however, sometimes (most times) I wish the owners weren't in the pictures. It mucks up everything with their self conscious and/or trying to hard to look _________ posing.

That said, I DO like Krysten's home. It is lovely, and feels lived in, for someplace she's only inhabited briefly. And I LOVE Renee's house, because it's effortless. And I love her presence. And her prom picture. And those sleazy sleazy mugs.

Wow I *never* thought I'd see someone I know on Apartment Therapy -- Brett Simon was one of my favorite TAs in college and is a very funny, super talented guy. Love that picture with the bunny!!!

Frontiersperson: I might have to disagree with you slightly about the photographers choice to include the owners. Beyond documenting interiors I believe he is more interested in capturing how people interact with their homes and material possessions. I would think that because most of the individual images are not strong enough to stand on there own, they work as a set. With that because most of these interiors are incredibly personal in nature (not your typical, flat architectural digest shots) having the owner present only adds to the eclecticism and intrigue of the images.
I've been following his work for a couple of months now (ever since AT blogged about him the first time) and I have to say that its some of the most interesting and meaty interiors photography ive seen!

I'm with you Frontiersperson,
I don't need to see the actual person, I like imagining some one who is usually more like the projection of themselves through their tastes. Usually we aspire and inspire above and beyond ourselves. The product of the dream is the best that we are. Why spoil it with an insipid photo.
Please don't encourage any more narcissism that is so blatant in our culture today.

oh my gosh--I love seeing people in their interiors. It's such a voyeuristic activity in the first place--why not peep in the curtains at the owners.

holy ****, that Eggelston, with most probability, must have cost more than my entire house.

Krysten looks like she's channeling Paris Hilton--thanks for the laugh. Love the tiger head in Silverlake a lot.

Why do I both hate Krysten and want to be her at the same time? Do you suppose when the cameras are off she creeps around her apartment gazing seductively at her furniture?
