This month, Elle Decor put together their little A list… which is going to be a feature every year.
What do you think of this room? It’s by Muriel Brandolini and I dont particularly like it. As in, I dont like it at all. Maybe I just dont get it?
Some more from their 25 A List:
Stephen Gambrell 
Suzanne Kasler
Charlotte Moss
William Sofield
Vincent Wolf (He has a great blog btw…. Read It.)
I was kinda underwhelmed by the presentation of the article in the magazine. Very uninspired layout. I get that they are trying to introduce their “Design Registry” for interior designers and their “Grand Masters” feature on the web but I kinda felt like the whole article was nothing more than a DUH.
Then I went to the website and experienced ad and pop up overload, along with numerous “errors”… Get that fixed Elle Decor.
I was more excited by the 5 Designers to Watch feature…
I dont want to bag on Elle Decor, because they are the only thing we’ve got these days… But MEH on the whole issue. I liked Meg Ryan’s beach house… but the boat on the ceiling was sad.
What did you think?

That is definitely not Brandolini’s best work. I’m surprised they didn’t use that one living room with the AMAZING paneled drapes.
Thanks for the link love, Babe!
I thought a lot of the pictures they chose werent great…
underwhelmed as well. and I can’t even browse the new site with firefox.
i too wasn’t pleased with the room they chose to represent brandolini. most of her work is so inspired and creative and interesting.
i think overall they under represented everyone.
and yes, the newer talent’s work looked more interesting than the so called “a listers”..
“But MEH on the whole issue.” MEH??? This is why so-called style blogs give me headaches. Sloppy writing, lazy thinking, and sweeping snark. What’s the point of having a style blog if you can’t write with style and insight?
I wasnt trying to be snarky… I was being honest. The issue was not horrible, just a little uninspired. And I think “Meh” is a good word to describe my feelings about it….
If my blog gives you a headache, Im sorry. No one is forcing you to read it.
