Kelly Wearstler does it all

Posted on Wed, 16 Apr 2008 by KiM

I LOVE Kelly Wearstler’s style, and when we got an email about a new project of hers I was excited to post about it.

“Poised to aesthetically amaze the most astute of second-home buyers with inspiring designs by internationally acclaimed tastemaker Kelly Wearstler, Viceroy Anguilla will unveil its model four-bedroom villa on Barnes Bay, March 15. This season offers the final opportunity to own part of Viceroy’s flagship overseas development – a limited collection of beachfront and blufftop villas, townhomes and resort residences embracing the pristine natural beauty and tranquility of this West Indie Island. “Overall, I was inspired by the tranquil beach setting,” comments Wearstler of her work at Viceroy Anguilla. “In designing the property, we used textiles and techniques from all over the world, including hand-carved wood pieces from Asia, hammered metalwork from India and beaded artwork from Africa which offer a visual contrast with the modern architecture.””

WOW!!! Vacation anyone???

Alex Jordan and Dan Smieszny are co-presidents of the architecture and design firm Gregga Jordan Smieszny whose work has been published in countless Architectural Digests and House Beautiful among others. I admire the diversity of their work – it spans mid-century, art deco, neoclassical, modern and more. No matter what style, it all reads as elegant and sophisticated.

Tori Golub‘s design firm is based in Manhatten and is known for its clean modern aesthetic. Modern but totally liveable and comfortable. “Her work is characterized by her trademark muted tones, resulting in serenely beautiful environments. Playful combinations of scale and a juxtaposition of styles make Tori Golub interiors unmistakable.” I love every piece of furniture in these photos.
