Chatting with Annie Kelly

We recently chatted with Annie Kelly about her new book Rooms to Inspire by the Sea. Along with her photographer husband Tim Street-Porter, this is the latest in a series of themed design books. "By the Sea" features the waterfront properties on both coasts of several well known designers - both their own or client projects. Designers include Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Jonathan Adler & Simon Doonan, Juan Montoya and others. We chatted with Annie about how she and Tim met, why they chose to make LA their home (she's from Australia and he's from England), how they work together and her individual projects.
