History

HarperCollins published Kelly Wearstler's Domicilium Decoratus in 2006, a style book featuring photographs of her Beverly Hills mansion and herself dressed in evening gowns. [1]

Reception

David Colman of The New York Times described it as "a kind of lavish brochure for Ms. Wearstler's vision (she has a fabric line and has carpet, furniture and china lines in the works), which involves a decadent Hollywood riposte to Martha Stewart's stolidly tasteful East Coast domesticity." [1]
