I’ve been fascinated by Kelly Wearstler ever since I stayed at one of her first high profile design jobs, the Avalon Palm Springs hotel, over 10 years ago. Her aesthetic was like no one else’s at the time and still retains a distinct decorative modernism. Interiors were just the beginning. Her website offers everything from high-end furniture and objet d’art to lighting, sheets and bars of chocolate.

The checkerboard motif has been a favorite of Ms. Wearstler’s for awhile. See it above in a desk and sculpture, and below in her fashion line (as worn by Gwen Stefani!). I love that she won’t be satisfied until she can make every item in our lives her particular brand of chic. It is so my dream to be able to hang at her flagship boutique in LA, without worrying that I have to get back to the kids or that Mr. Real Life Style is bored, he he. In the meantime, I try to stop in her mini boutique for about 30 seconds every time I pass it on the way to the ladies room on the seventh (home and kids) floor of Bergdorf’s. True story. We have no secrets here.
