Great website, as featured on the front page of the NY Times website right now.

Concept: Guy take photosets of enviable people in their strange homes.

Example: These oddballs.

Cool idea, but why, of all the homes shown, did you post that one? Somewhat interesting, but mostly boring IMO. How much more cliche can you get than a bunch of ornate mirrors with a shelf of coral...just seems like a movie set trying hard to be 'different'. Personally, Id like to see LK's place. I bet it is immensely more interesting than the above-pictured.

Because it conveys a strong personality. I'm not looking for decorating tips. Boom! Zebraraffe.

Interesting that "Hipster Magician Boy" is also a Frat boy. (See vintage radio)

That dude should upgrade the spats to real button boots. Then he'd get some mad love from MC.

I glanced through a few of those. I guess I'm not the only person with a ton of books laying everywhere.

Interestingly, Albert Maysles's home is not much less cluttered than the Beales's.
