HOW YOU LIVING

I was gonna start this post saying that I became interested in interior design decorating when I went on my first dorm room shopping spree. You know that first summer you prepare to leave the nest and you are in complete control of each element that will enter your new space [I went for a Polo Bear/ chambray vibe]. Then I realized I have been hooking up my living space since I was like.... 9. I could never really shop for new sheets or furniture, but I would rearrange my furniture, like, once a year.  I also would tear out the page posters from mags like Word Up?. When I grew out of Immature [the boy group of the time], I moved on to posting pages from Vibe magazine [back when they were like 10"x12"]. Then I added personal snap shots to the mix.  I seriously had hundreds of magazine pages and photos paneled along my walls. Those stayed up until I moved out my parents house and my mom [forcibly] took em all down. I knew I couldn't pull off the same design aesthetic in an actual apartment, so I got into collecting edgy art and quirky home goods. Luckily my boyfriends is into the same quirky hip hop shit I am and usually likes the weird stuff I bring home : )

So what's my point eh?
Apparently this dude at The Shelby gets his rocks off photographing cool people and their even cooler homes! Homegirl Tabatha [at mobliving.com ] put me on to my favorites: DJ Marr & Mayu Kondo's crib and Baby Mary's home/ store space, both in Japan.
