love it...or hate it....or love to hate it...i say love the haters

this just in courtesy of this months vogue and apartment therapy. the highly anticipated sneak peak into the newest personal residence by wearstler. i've been dying to see inside the house for years now and finally today is the day. so what do we think? did she let oliver and elliot design the stairwell...?
in love with these chairs.
love this floor it's similar to the one we did for the hollywood/ broadway residence lobby.
80s to the max...this is what i definitely love to hate...only because i'm a product of the 80s myself. so if feel like i get it.
i feel like this may be more beautiful if seen in person. like the mater bathroom in the last residence the walls are some fantastic book matched stone.
hi versace leopard? love those tall doors with the matching pediments seen though out the home.

An excerpt from the Vogue October feature:

In the new house, even the shoes and vintage hats in her enviably appointed closet are scrupulously color coded—and so are her sons' bedrooms. Elliott's room is burnt apricot, with a bird's-eye maple four-poster bed and faux-crocodile wallpaper, while his brother, Oliver, has Memphis chairs in his cerulean-blue bathroom and a Tiffany-blue tufted sofa. (Wearstler has claimed that her proudest decorating moment was when "my sons told me how much they loved their bedrooms.")

But Wearstler's palette can be subtler, too. In the den that resembles a pickled-oak humidor, she has created a setting for a Roger Moore-era James Bond, complete with horn-legged tables, black-lacquer-and-brass furnishings and objects, ebony leather Chesterfield sofas, and an alarmingly over scaled nude sculpture (torsos, busts, and other statuary abound in the house; "There are a lot of other people living here!" she says, laughing).



so i know i posted this book as book of the week before, but...i just couldn't resist posting again. amanda
