{Editor’s Note: This year, I’ve asked a few of the people whose style I spend all year admiring to share their holiday wish lists. Stay tuned – we’ll have a new expert every day for the next two weeks!} design gift guide
I’d have to ask her (über-talented) husband to be sure, but I have a pretty good feeling that Kricken Yaker is one of those people on your gift list. The one who is so far ahead of the trends, she’s already over things you haven’t even heard about yet. The one whose house you walk into and spend the next hour trying to suppress the urge to Instagram every perfectly-styled bookshelf and expertly-hung art wall. In other words, the one you’re completely stumped by.
Luckily, Kricken isn’t just one of the most talented interior designers I know, she also has a gorgeous store – Vanillawood – stocked to the gills with exactly the kind of gifts you’ll need for people who are, well, a little intimidating. For the person on your list whose shelves are stacked with books by Kelly Wearstler and David Hicks, who knows her John Robshaw from her John Derian, and whose house rightfully belongs in the next issue of Dwell, trust me – Kricken’s guide is going to be a godsend.
