My Place: Olivia Laing

I adore this lady. Wonderful writer. 🌹🌹

Do we know the name of the soundtrack song? Lovely!

Was she born as a male?

That is a lot of Frederic Malle

they've now moved to another beautiful house with another magical garden, i'd love to see her featured on here again!!<3

Amazing to see the SMART Garden Room (library) looking so fab after all these years, what a truly wonderful creative space 😊

Love her beautiful artistic spaces and her fashion sense- how she styled a floral silk blouse over a black cotton t-shirt.

Awesome... 😍...👍

An amazing insight about her as an individual. So inspiring!

That garden-shed-library! She's living my dream!

very ugly style..

Soooooo beautiful thank you for sharing

goals

I must know what sort of watch she is wearing. Where can I get one?

I met Olivia Laing at the LRB Bookstore where she was interviewing Luke Turner. I bought his book and asked her to sign my copy of her book Crudo, which she did; I was delighted. But I must have pissed her off somehow because a week later she blocked me on Instagram.

The poetry library omg😭❤️❤️

I am sorry to say that I don't know who she is, but now I want to read her books!

As a perfume fanatic, I love seeing her bathroom cupboard! I see she has some refined taste in that department too. Love this video and series!

Fan of the large cologne collection and picture of Rimbaud by the tub

YIKES!!! close the damn lid on the toilet

Preciosa casa y precioso jardín...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Why do people always leave their toilet seat open?

of to me so overstuffed. how do u wipe the dust

No shade, but she seems much older than 44 to me. Something about her demeanor and style. I'd love to peruse her library.

I wish they still did these. The best.

Beautiful and inspirational !

The Maximalism of Minimalism. The spaces are cohesive, conducive to work and mind wandering, well loved and lived in, beautifully utilized, well organized, peaceful yet energizing
💕💕💕

Love her🧠

Oh my... Your home is much as one I hoped I might inhabit, one day... Oh well, "...the best-laid plans o' mice an' men/ Gang oft agley..."

This was absolutely delightful. I love their hose and garden. They are so charming. Refreshing in this day and age. Thank you.

Nooo, perfumes deteriorate from light and temperature changes ! Don't keep them in the bathroom, they need to be in darkness and cooler temperature

Amazing and calm

This feels very 1990s. I'd love this years ago but it feels so dated.

What a garden!

Love those full libraries and lady’s energy , adorable video thanks for sharing god bless 💐🌷🙏🏻

I like the house - but she seems incredibly pretentious, but then aren't most artists and literati these days? they probably weren't once upon a time. 'the psychic space you make art from'?? a lot of people have to struggle to eat, to get enough money to merely survive - or have to struggle with menial jobs as cleaners, cashiers etc. she lives in a different world to these poor, trapped souls of which she has no, and will never have, any conception. souls who don't have an ounce of energy to think about 'art' or making any kind of psychic space at all - they are lucky if they have a functional space to live in or lie down in. she has never felt so 'fed' by a place - good god. some people have to worry about literally being fed.

whats is the background music ? thanks

I love that shade of yellow that is on the bedroom walls--can someone find out what it is?

don't you call it 'shelling' peas, we do?

The garden i would die for!

The visual effect is disorienting and distracting rather than enhancing...

This is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen!

reading The Lonely City now, in my small Brooklyn bedroom lit by rose-tinted lights. I have books around me on shelves that double as wardrobes and dips of silence that doubles as healthy self-company.

Who does the music 🙂

The piano in the background is terribly distracting and interferes with her speaking.
