Magnus Selander: Dark Floors + Hounds

Photos by Magnus Selander

There’s so much I love about these Magnus Selander photos, aside from just the really lovely photography, but I think it boils down to two things—dark floors and hounds.

I’m a huge fan of anything Eames and have loved our molded rocker from the very first day it arrived (the best gift from the best mother-in-law… of all times!), so this black one stands out and screams my name.  The photo on the right is everything I want in a floor since if all-white floors are not an option.  We redid our kitchen floors with the same dark finish and I absolutely adore them every time I walk around on them.  And that’s even with layers of dirt and filth!  ;)

Then there are these photos.  Oh Magnus, you had me the moment I laid eyes on this hound.  Look.  At.  Him.  While our hound cannot and will not sit, this one sits and immediately begs for your attention.  It also reminds me of a really interesting interview Nathan was telling me about a few days ago that speaks up on the ethics of breading.  While I definitely haven’t read enough to form a solid opinion, it does raise some really interesting questions, especially when it comes to inherited diseases.

I digress.  Bottom line, I’m really liking these photos by Magnus Selander—pretty great photographer!

Eames Dowel Legged Chairs

Eames dowel legged chairs are beautiful.  Bea-u-ti-ful.  I will patiently await my windfall while I covet these little guys from afar, but I can’t help but think about splurging for one every time I see one.

The above photo (by a really lovely photographer, Cara Robbins) is from the new Collected Magazine and is by far my favorite (ahem… it also has “HTML5″ listed on the chalkboard in the background… just, you know, wanted to mention).  Also, as a side note, Collected Magazine has been mentioned everywhere but I think that’s because this first issue was full of such great stuff…  if you haven’t looked through it, I highly recommend it.

Random but great: my friend just made a mobile for her little boy… love it!
