My Space

Opening the doors to masterful spaces of celebrated musicians, stylists, writers, producers, designers and tastemakers, The Inspired Home: Nests of Creatives is a gorgeous and vivid book by Kim Ficaro and Todd Nickey. Published by Rizzoli- who always churns out those coffee table gems- The Inspired Home contains 208 pages of sophisticated and whimsical living and artful interiors. Ficaro is a NY-based prop and interior stylist, and Nickey is an LA-based interior designer and co-owner of Nickey Kehoe Inc. Ficaro has styled for Bon Appetit, Town & Country, Elle, Haprper’s Bazaar and Domino – where she was the former style editor- therefore this book is about style, not decoration and celebrates the personal styles of dynamic creatives, revealing how inspirations translate to the canvas that is home.

Lofts, weekend cottages, villas, apartments, retreats, studios and lairs of artists, stylists, designers, and talents like musician Moby and the antique dealer John Derian, are all presented where these quarters telegraph personal approaches to living. Ficaro and Nickey prove that the most inspiring homes are not always the ones dreamed up by architects, designers, or the very wealthy. Homes from Italy, Los Angeles, New York, Copenhagen and beyond vary from bohemian modern to beach chic, such as Moby’s industrial Hollywood Hills mansion which houses a collection of mid century pieces and quirky collections. Nesting has never been so cool.
