Kelly Wearstler - New Blogging Goodness

It's only 9:30 am here in LA, but I can already tell you the highlight of my day - getting an email from Kelly Wearstler's people that she has a blog! I can't wait to see what other gorgeous inspiration images she posts. Here's a gorgeous image from her first post - and you can check out more here at MyLiveMyVibe! It's a little peak into her creative process.

Best of the Goods - Wallpaper Edition

In my second edition of BEST OF THE GOODS, a round up of 2 1/2 years of blogging fun, I bring you my favorite wallpapers!

LOVE this wallpaper (which I'm assuming is DeGournay). Most men probably notice Blake Lively. But I'm more of a wallpaper gal.
Vogue


This Romo wallpaper is one of my favorite patterns - I used the beige in a clients home, and the pillow fabric in my own house!
InStyle


I've been a Kelly Wearstler fan for years, and I'm still not over her Imperial Trellis pattern.


Matthew Williamson covered his fireplace with this bold pattern. LOVE LOVE LOVE.Domino


Wallpaper as art. Gorgeous.
Elle Decor UK


The floral pattern in this wallpaper balances out the black background, keeping it from looking dark and depressing. And the black keeps the floral from looking too girly. Win win!

I have been drooling over this image for years - I'd love to apply a metallic paint like that over a wallpaper. Genius.

Happy wallpaper day!

Goodbye Ikat... Hello Flame Stitch!

While I still love ikat prints, I feel like everywhere I look these days I'm seeing flame stitch fabrics and I'm in love...

This month's Elle Decor had two sumptuous interiors with flame stitched upholstered goodies...
Love these pillows (and the tufted sofa!)

The only thing I love about this room MORE than the amazing flame stitch bench is the yellow and gray color scheme!

Kelly Wearstler is a big fan of the flame stitch - her dishes...

I love this print she designed...


I spotted it in a store window one night while on my exciting trip in NYC!
No need to keep the flame stitch on a pillow or upholstered piece - love it on the wall too (via Apartment Therapy)

Soupy Interior

I absolutely adore the tv show The Soup (on E!) - so it comes as no surprise that I adore the home of Joel McHale (its host). While perusing InStyle magazine on Turkey Day, I saw this spread...

His wife worked as a design assistant for Kelly Wearstler (no wonder the house is decorated with impeccable taste!) She actually looks familiar from my design grad school days. She designed the house with guidance from Elizabeth Gordon...

Great tv room - the detailing on the cabinets is gorgeous!


The orange walls are bold AND beautiful.

Cozy, glam bedroom.


The details on the ceiling are fantastic!


I'm having wallpaper envy!

Pillows PIllows Everywhere!

On Friday I tweeted about a fabulous pillow. It was adorable. And it was only $68! Sadly neither me, nor my client had a place for it so we had to say goodbye.

After tweeting about it, I had a hilarious back and forth with blogger Maison 21 about my need for a dedicated pillow closet. I might need a guest house soon for all my pillows.

Which brings me to my love for another pillow, this one less budget friendly (though not obscene at $128), designed by Kelly Wearstler for Sferra.
Love the marbled look - it's called Quartz.
Time to buy a new house for all these pillows I'm adoring.

Fabric-Gasm

One of my fav fabrics is this Kelly Wearstler one for Schumacher.

I love it so much I blogged about it last November. Here it is in all its splendid glory...
On a slipper chair...


And as a pillow...From Traditional Home.

Oh, gorgeous fabric, I love you in all forms!

KWID Trim

I've fallen head over heels in love with trim. Sorry husband, I still have a big place for you in my heart, but this trim has given me butterflies in my tummy.

Of course it's designed by style guru Kelly Wearstler - I stumbled upon it at design showroom Lee Jofa while searching for trim for a client.

LOVE the interesting an unique colorways, like this teal...


The saffron and purple collection...


These pinks and purples are PERFECT for a fun kid's room


Also in love with the Missoni-style zig-zag printed trim.
Be still my heart!

K-Dubs in Wonderland

In honor of my celebrity citing of Kelly Wearstler here in LA yesterday, here is an image of her newest restaurant Oliverio at the Avalon Hotel.
Love the whimsical/wonderland feel to it! (image from California Home + Design Mag)

Closet Freak

So as I have twittered, one of my new favourite magazines is Canadian House & Home - my first issue came yesterday and I could not find an article that I didn't love. One of my favourite (as the Canadian's spell it) photo shoots was of Kelly Wearstler's closet. I try not to be envious of other people's material things, but let me tell you, I'm envious of that closet. Of the design and the contents.

Only Kelly would be so AB FAB as to have a custom designed carpet in her closet.




Those handbags? Delicious.





A previously designed closet of her's plays with much bolder colors - a closet is always a safe place to take a color/pattern risk.


Here are some other amazing closets featured on Canadian House & Home's website:

The crystal pendants and fancy knobs definitely dress this closet up. And the big ole' Louis Vuitton bag doesn't hurt.


Love this flea market/boho vibe.


Pink and perfectly put together.



Here are some closets I've blogged about previously on here (but thought I'd put all in one place so that when I buy my Malibu mansion, I have all my inspiration pics in one place.)

Jenna Lyons closet ROOM.

Tre chic.

Funky - I LOVE the hanging rod.

This ottoman kills me...

Great mirrored armoire...

Imperial Fabulousness

As a card-carrying member of the Kelly Wearstler fan club, I LOVE her Imperial Trellis print. This hallway is stunning. If I had an actual entry I would definitely rock this.



California Home+Design featured the Claremont Hotel's new restaurant Meritage, which has a HUGE wall of trellis - it almost becomes a neutral background of sorts.



Designer/blogger Erin from Elements of Style used the fabric for a client headboard - LOVE it!
