The Devil - and Everything Else - Is in the Details
One of my favorite websites to check when I'm looking for design inspiration (besides houzz.com, of course!) is The Selby (www.theselby.com). Photographer Todd Selby photographs people's homes, with special attention to the little details that personalize a space. Sure, that Eames chair might look amazing in the corner, but it's the book and trinkets stacked around it that make it yours.
So that's what this is all about - those little details that make a space unforgettably personal:

I really love this space (though I'd pair the black and white with a bright, kelly-green rug or wall). The sofa's pattern is so cool and the antique side table is perfect. But the details here? They're in the books. Books are the quickest way to personalize a space - what says more about who you are than what you like to read?
This home office is full of personalizing details, especially on the bookshelves. All those books, so haphazardly stacked - I love them! But my favorite part of the space is on the desk - the cool prints leaning casually against the wall. They're vibrant and fun and give immediate insight into the people who make this office their home.
I love the use of an antique armoire as a baby's closet - even better with a simple vase of flowers on top. It's pretty and sweet and definitely not generic.
