Thank you, thank you, thank you. My wife and i both commented on how dull everything would be if you dumped Ryan. Is he a bit edgy? Yes, but occassionally it's needed. so many of the rooms look like the little "Ikea nooks" that it makes us crazy. And to think that Margaret runs Elle Decor...for shame!

Please keep fighting the good fight and see you in LA!

p.s. my wife keeps amassing ceremonial robes from all over the place (japan, korea, TURKMEN-"I'M NOT KIDDIN"-ISTAN, Uzbek...what's the best use for the HUGE robes???

Kelly. I use to really respect everything you have done for the design world. I am an interior design student at the university of kentucky. Ever since i found out you were in playboy it has completely erased all the repect i had for you. How could you direspect you body like that and let down the many girls that look up to you

Kelly, in response to the last comment, I think (and you know) that you can do whatever the hell you want. I think you're fabulous: Confident, stylish, and original, a true artist.

Keep up the great work!

Hello Kelly!
I am finally getting the chance to check out the Bravo Top Design Website. After Reading through your blogs and comments, I would like to add a thing or two. First and foremost, I have religiously bought and read through, several hundred times over, all of your books and other media publications. They are a HUGE inspiration for me. I am a very bold interior designer, getting ready to graduate from school. I love the urban rock and roll but only if done extremely Elegantly and with pieces of traditional styles. I think you are the one designer that has really captured my idea of what design can be. Second of all, I also appreciate you supporting Ryan. He was the one designer that did not look the room square on and assume the back wall as the focal wall and manipulate some storage and functionality to the room. It was original, and although may have been scary to viewers, it had a point of view, and an original concept, just as you had said.
Finally I am not one to bite back at anyone, or their opinion, but in response to Haley's comments. The show was deisgn ON THE BEACH....you were very appropriate in your reworked slip. I loved it, it was sheer, but the garments underneath kept it tasteful. I guess it all goes back to one thing...being original and having your own point of view.
Finally, where do you draw from for your design inspiration?

Hi Kelly --

I agree that it is important to stand behind originality. Imagination is a good thing and it is much more important to fail at being outrageous and different than it is to be safe and dull.

What does Playboy have to do with anything? If you used Howard Johnson's orange and turquoise as a color scheme, then I'd understand. I know little about design but I love your hair and clothes.

Kelly--

Am desperately seeking a lucite/acrylic entry hall table. Have endlessly searched the web but only found consoles and nesting tables. Any thoughts on where I can find one?

Thanks!

I am pretty sure everyone on the show dresses themselves, but I wanted to know if the producers ever make any changes, or "suggestions," specifically when it comes to the judges gear. Is there a wardrobing dept. for the show? I would really like to know where Kelly gets her fashion inspiration and who her favorite designers are...I love that green/black dress she wore on the last episode. Where did that come from?

Hello! I think the show is going to be fabulous! I have a question for Kelly W. whose book I was lucky enough to stumble on. It is beautiful,as are you. In fact, I was stunned to you too wear the exact dress while pruning patio trees. ( a little humor). I loved it! My question is: In the first few pages you have photo's of tray like coffee tables with black (?) laquer crosed branch base. I have been looking for a table and when I saw it I just was happy my journey looking for the right one was complete. Please help me if you can by pointing me the right direction as to where or how I may purchase one. Warmest Regards and best of luck in the success of TOP DESIGN

Kelly Wearstler- you are a goddess. I am truly inspired by you and your work. I made a trip to Bergdorf's just to witness your style in person. Every week it is a joy to see what you wear- your creativity illuminates from you- amazing. Your website is absolutely breathtaking- and I do not use that word lightly- literally, it took my breath away, and I think it even brought a tear to my eye. Absoulutely inspiring. You really must be a goddess- seriously, if I could nominate someone to be a goddess- you would be it- talented, a creative genius, and drop-dead gorgeous. And I am not even a lesbian (I'm happily married, in fact)- I'm just really, truly, in awe. :)

Kelly,
I have a fashion design background but love interior and architecture design if not even more. I love to see what you are wearing and what updo hairstyle every week. I believe you are the best judge that has real sense of design. I think you and Todd should be on screen together more because of like- minds and design views. I was sorry to see Ryan to go, and now Goil. Ihope that Carisa now receives the best designer choice, since she is consistently interesting and not boring like the other two left. KARLYQ

Kelly- The fact that you have fun, follow yr own creative voice and do whatever you want is a huge inspiration to me as a feminist design student. I could give a crap if you posed for playboy or whatever, it's yr life and yr body...let the creepy christians live in their cruddy tan homes and throw stones...
Best, Kathleen

Kelly,
(* This is not for posting. It's a personal question.)
Wearstler is not a common name so I'm curious.My maiden name is Wearstler....my dad's side from Youngstown, Alliance, Ohio area. Just wondering if you are related to Ohio people? My grandfather was Albert Wearstler, watercolor artist/commercial artist..in with the big boys during his time...Charles Birchfield, Wyeth. Anyway, I was just curious since the Wearstler name is unique and you have all this artistic talent. Ifigure it was worth asking about. Thanks,
Claudia Wearstler Paeth
