Lady of the House
My dad is a pretty sweet guy. Calls me just to say hello, brings me home surprises from work just like when I was little and is totally involved with all of his daughter’s lives.
He tries to be hip and with it by knowing all of latest happenings in the entertainment world to have discussion points with all of the ladies in his house.
Since design is my favorite topic of conversation he has started to learn about it as well. Tonight over dinner he handed me his copy of The New Yorker with a great profile on none other than design goddess, Kelly Wearstler.
Yes, to most she is just know for your quirky outfits, but to the design obsessed her take on Hollywood Regency is the cat’s meow.
Since this article isn’t available online let I figured I would scan it and give all my readers a chance to give it a read.
Click on the images to see them larger. If you have a couple of minutes it’s worth the read. You’ll totally get wrapped up in her over-sized, ornate, gold filled world and all the steps it took to get her into the design world. She even had a side trip to Playboy! (Scandalous, I know.)

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Your Dad sounds so cool!

She seems fabulous and decadent … even that photo speaks volumes!
what a great dad!! Design would put most dads to sleep..
i think she's pretty fabulous and people who say she isn't are just jealous.
Awwww, you give that dad of yours a great big smooch just for me. I miss my daddy so much, gone 12 years next month.
That's pretty cool to have your Dad find something to talk with you about.
Aw, that's so sweet. I miss my dad so much. He + my mom were both involved in our lives and as generous as your dad.
