Books as Art: Kelly Wearstler on Potterton Books’ Hidden Treasures
The designer inside Potterton Books
Kimberly Stevens wrote a delightful piece in The New York Times, profiling glamorous Kelly Wearstler’s favorite design bookstore, Potterton Books, a miniscule, one-of-a kind gem (and ArtsÉtoile favorite) surrounded by expansive showrooms inside West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center.
Wearstler credits the rare and out-of-print books that she finds at Potterton Books as the inspiration behind some of her best design projects. Despite her busy schedule, she always finds time to peruse the resource-filled books for fresh ideas, frequently finding colors and patterns that haven’t been used in decades and giving them new life in today’s eclectic interiors. Wearstler admits that she “never set(s) monetary limits on books… to (her) it’s like collecting art.”
I couldn’t agree more that collecting beautiful design books is a fabulous way to enrich your visual vocabulary without breaking the bank. Collecting hard-to-find art and design books is a smart and wise alternative to collecting actual art and design in lean economic times.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hello to every one, it’s really a pleasant for me
to pay a visit this web page, it contains precious Information.
I think everything said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
what if you composed a catchier post title? I am not suggesting
your content is not good, but suppose you added a headline that makes people
desire more? I mean Books as Art: Kelly Wearstler on Potterton Books� Hidden Treasures | ArtsÉtoile is kinda
vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post titles
to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve
written. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
