    I am a huge fan of Wearstler’s irreverent, colorful design, but this book was a serious letdown. For a tome titled “Hue”, she was hardly creative with real color. The fabric cover itself is just white! The entire book is just 12 rooms or so shot from different angles to highlight a particular artifact in a particular color. Worst of all, she used the same books and artifacts over and over. The glamor shots of her and her sons were out of place and the spread of her jewelry and shoe collections were quite self-indulgent. While text in a design book is often superfluous, hers is limited to an “interview” at the beginning without any real discussion of the rooms presented. Don’t waste your money on this one.

    Not the best book for realistic inspiration for your next interior project.
    Very eccentric for my taste and I like living outside of the creative box.

    Buy this one after you have all the others on your list.

    Nice photography.

    The shots with Kelly & her boys seem too staged.

    I’m going to return my copy. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the need to flip through it again.

    Yes, the book is certainly colorful. If that’s all you’re looking for, you could buy a Pantene color book. If you’re looking for interiors that aren’t patently ridiculous, look elsewhere. I’m amazed that Ms. Wearstler finds clients who buy off on her design schemes, as they seem designed for show, not living. But of course we should have been tipped off by the cover of the book that this particular tome is all about Kelly, not about real design. I have actually admired some of her work in the past, but I found nothing in this book that was remotely livable.
