Kelly Klein at Home in Florida

Most people think of Palm Beach when they think of a Florida getaway but those who are serious about horses live in Wellington and Kelly Klein is no different. Her Wellington home was featured in the May 2007 issue of Elle Decor and is yet another example of her clean and chic style. Of course, just like in her New York apartment photographs of horses and beautiful books are prominently displayed. It's also light and airy and uncluttered. Must be nice!

Kelly Klein at Home

All the talk about Kelly Klein's new book Horse had me thinking about her homes. Kelly is one of the most effortlessly chic women in New York so it is no surprise that her decor is also effortlessly chic. Her Upper West Side New York apartment was featured in the October 2008 issue of Town & Country magazine and was originally an artist's studio. Now, it's filled with art by Francesco Clemente and photos by Steven Klein and others. Doesn't that firewood make you want to curl up in front of a cozy fire?!

Kelly designed the sofas and Belgian linen slipcovers above while the brown leather chairs are by Ruhlmann.

In the bedroom, a Chinese chest sits between chairs bought at Aspara Interiors in East Hampton. Too bad we probably won't have time to stop there while we are at our installation in Sagaponack!

Steven Klein's famous horse photos line the hallway. Robert Burke also has similar photos in his apartment.

There is nothing I love more than peeking at someone else's bookshelves! You can tell a lot about a person from what they read. I personally hide all the potentially embarrassing books under my bed!

The very minimal dining room includes chairs by Joseph Hoffman, a custom concrete table, a Cellula chandelier from Moss and a painting by Eric Freeman.

I love the Olatz linens in the master bedroom and the sweet little elephant on the night table. Kelly just welcomed a baby into the home and his room below is also chic and simple.

Tune in tomorrow for photos of Kelly's Florida home and for photos from Horse, click here.

HORSE

Leave it to the chicest woman to put together the chicest book and hold the launch party at the chicest store. Last week, Kelly Klein launched her new book Horse from Rizzoli at the Hermes store and it is seriously the most fabulous book of the season. Even if you haven't ridden a horse in your life, you'll drool over the photos by Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe and even Kelly Klein herself who took the beautiful photo above. Enjoy!
