Taking Cues from Kelly Wearstler

Settle down now, no I haven't met her {I wish!} but I'm pretty close to her design books. One of my all time favorite is "Modern Glamour." I think the book epitomizes the quintessential Kelly that we all started to love. I've been flipping through it's pages {again...for the nth time} & here are some design cues I learned so far:

1. She gets inspiration from her travels, flea markets & antique shops...of course!


{sorry, scanner is not working, took these from my phone}

2. She loves pattern, lots of it!


From walls to the floor to the little accessories and from Moroccan tiles to stripes to Imperial Trellis.

3. She adores all hues & I believe she follows the rules of the color wheel, loving complements & split complement colors.



4. She likes it when things are balanced...a pair of lamps or perfectly symmetrical collage of plates.



5. And of course being true to her brand & looking glamorous as always!

I love Kelly's style!

It's one thing to see her decorating in a book or magazine, but it's so amazing to experience it live! She is so talented... thanks for sharing!

thanks for your comments, as well — you are such a sweetheart :)

Kelly Wearstler is pretty great. I love her ingenuity and daring in her designs. I am so glad that the legislation was overturned in Florida, so that she can practice again there!

I've seen that outdoor plate wall a hundred times, and love it every time I see it. So simple & modern!
