Creative Space: Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators showcases the weird, obscure, mundane, and occasionally downright insane decorating intricacies of the world’s artists, designers, writers, filmmakers… basically the creative collective. Francesca Gavin (the photographer) uses her sense of urban exploration (Remember, it’s only trespassing if you don’t have a camera.) to reveal the most intimate aspects of these people’s urban dwellings.

These creatives take decorating to a level that sometimes only Duchamp could love (thankfully there are no urinals), but they do so in a way that makes you question purpose. Is that random stack of records art, or just a refusal to organize? Is six completely different different dining room chairs really making a statement? Should you have a garage sale, or just decorate your home with all your junk?

Only you can be the judge of that. At the very least you now have a point of reference for the “but baby, I don’t wanna get rid of all my Pez dispensers” argument – they’re art.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
