It's a Kelly Wearstler designed abode from the August 2004 House Beautiful. I would so love for my staircase to look like this. This image has stuck with me for years. I tried to find it in my inspiration files, but I ran out of time and patience (my files are not very organized). That's why I love the internet. Inspiration at your fingertips.
Some other images from the same article:
This was classic "Hollywood Regency" Kelly Wearstler before she abandoned the look and evolved into her more - how shall I say - schizophrenic look.
I know I'm probably just unsophisticated, but there's a lot here I just don't "get." Maybe in six years it will all become clear, and by then she will have moved on to some other great design scheme. Or maybe I'm just a hopeless fan of her old stuff.
Oh, how I long for the old Kelly. How about you?

Thanks for the laugh this morning! I needed that. That cracked me up! schizo look....too good. I actually like that look, even though it isn't really pretty. I just love that she doesn't seem to care. The old is pretty, though...and timeless. Thanks for your kind words, by the way. Julie
ReplyDeleteI vote for the Kelly. That staircase is amazing. It can be entertaining to look at some of her new design but i couldn't live with it.
ReplyDeleteI like old Kelly too. The new look is strange and bad 70's disco!
ReplyDeleteShe is getting a little frenetic, I agree. Love her old stuff!!
ReplyDeleteThe new is a bit too out there for me as well. I think for the hotels and commercial spaces she designs for its amazing...but for a home I am with you, its the "vintage Kelly" look that I love!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures- I enjoy mixing old and new and think that the balance of the two is the hardest part of designing a space.
I like modern and clean and yet gravitate towards older styles of furniture.
That staircase is amazing.
I love that blue room divider! NEED. That last room has too much going on. I agree.
