Blogspotted: The Selby

You must, must, must go on this blog. The Selby is like The Sartorialist for interiors. It focuses on images taken in creative people's homes, stores, studios and everywhere in between. The photography is totally scrummy and the places... well, let's just say if you don't feel at least a twinge of jealousy there's something wrong with you. It's also a great place to get inspiration if you feel like giving your pad a little make over. I also love taking a sneak peek into other people's lives. Who knew bieng nosey could feel so delicious?

The Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin

I don't know about you but one of my pet peeves is boring hotels. I mean, bog standard gaffs like The Holiday Inn... well, they make me so angry. A regular bed? En-suite bathrooms? Mini-bars? It must be some kind of joke. They can't expect holiday goers to be happy with a comfortable room, a replica of their ones at home. It's almost as if they want us to be comfortable or something. Ggrrr, I'm furious.

If only there was a hotel out there that mirrored the trippy dream I had the other night where I went to sleep in a coffin and woke up trapped in a room of mirrors. My bed then proceeded to float off the ground and I had to go to the toilet through a wardrobe that was actually a door...



... I gazed at my reflection, unaware I was looking into a two-way mirror and some German pervert next door was staring straight at me. I then averted my eyes skyward and noticed that all the furniture was stuck to the ceiling and my bed was rotating...

Wait... There is a hotel just like that? In Berlin? For around 80 Euros a night? I don't think I can live my trippy dream in the flesh. It's bad enough seeing it on my blog.
