Domicilium Decoratus

Loved Hue so much I went back and bought this. fascinating to see her style evolve.

Excellent book, great pictures with very good decorating ideas, whIch was the reason for my purchase. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for decorating ideas.

This is a beautiful book - a must have for collectors. If you are looking for the signature KWID style of the commerial projects, you will not find it. Miss Wearstler has done something different here. She has created something that is thought provoking: splendid and troublesome. There are moments of brilliance and moments of unexplainable strangeness: bookmatched onyx walls and frightening numbers of statues and figurines. She unexpectedly shows the beauty of not hiring a decorator and the intimacy of imperfection. It is a reflection of a woman and her passions. It is her home.

I first became aware of Kelly Wearstler by reading a few articles in decorating magazines. When her first book came out, I recognized her name immediately when I saw the book in the bookstore (which is amazing because I can't even remember what brand of toothpaste I buy at the grocery store). I really enjoyed her first book, and I continue to look through it for ideas/inspiration, but I found this book to be very disappointing. If I had looked at this book before ordering it from Amazon, I would have saved my money. This book covers the range from OK to hilarious. After reading the section called the "Boys' Vestibule," I didn't know whether to laugh because it is so ridiculous or to cry for those little boys that have to live in that house. The pictures of Ms. Wearstler in all the evening gowns were nice, but what do they have to do with interior design? Two other things passed through my mind as I "read" the book(except for titles there is no text): first, how long does it take to dust all the clutter in that house, and second, her hips must only be about 30 inches. She may look good in huge ballgowns, but I don't think a bikini would be so flattering to those bony hips. Now, you know that if that's what I'm thinking about as I look at the book, there is something very wrong with this decorating book. Borrow it from the library.

Beautiful book from a woman with an amazing approach to design which is fresh and innovative. I own all of her design books and find inspiration whenever I look at them. Highly recommended for those who like their interior design on the cutting edge! Kelly is about eclecticism, collections, drama and fantasy. This is not a how to book, but it is instructional if you want to see what can happen when one frees herself from the mundane and embraces the exotic...love you Kelly!

This designer, Kelly Wearstler, is my all time favorite and this book more than lives up to my expectations of her talent! It is filled with the most amazing exotic and glamorous interiors you may have ever seen. It is filled with inspiration and I will own this book forever!

The seller was great, but the book is worthless. Terible pictures. Not crisp, they do not tell a story. Has a section for powder room, one photo close up split between two pages of window and half a table. Next page is a close up of the carpet she sells.

For granddaughter, who interned for Kelly Wearstler this past summer.

時代を超えていいデザインだと思う私の好きな水晶や世界から集めた品を惜しげもなく使っている　空間のバランスもすごくいいし色彩も形もすべて余すところなく使われているのに下品にはならない買ってよかったです☆☆☆
