design hero

We are eagerly awaiting the new book by our Design Hero, Kelly Wearstler to come out tomorrow! Since the entire world was copying her style, she has reinvented herself and has a whole fresh new look now. Bravo to that. Will her new 80's vibe be as trendy, aka saleable, as the Hollywood Regency look she got us all hooked on? Only time will tell.
