Truman Capote at home in Amagansett, NY









So apparently being a fan of stuff on Facebook has more uses than just asserting to your peers you have good taste in music, books and film. I knew I 'liked' Truman Capote for a reason and it was proven recently when a post came up on my feed with photographs taken of Capote's beach house in The Hamptons for Architectural Digest in 1965. Not only is the outside facade utterly incredible, the teak bookcases, whitewashed walls and primary colours indoors have led me to keep all of these photos open on my desktop for a constant flick-through for weeks now. 

Oh, and if noseying through famous people's bedrooms (MTV Cribs anyone?) interests you as much as it does me, I direct you towards this Apartment Therapy article featuring the bedrooms of 15 famous writers - Faulkner is my favourite.
