The eagerly anticipated first monograph to celebrate the fifty-years-and-counting career of decorating legend Mario Buatta. Influenced by the understated elegance of Colefax and Fowler and the doyenne of exuberant American decor, Sister Parish, Buatta reinvented the English Country House style stateside for clients such as Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters, Malcolm Forbes, and Mariah Carey, and for Blair House, the President's guest quarters. The designer is acclaimed for his sumptuous rooms that layer fine antiques, confectionary curtains, and sublime colorations, creating an atmosphere of lived-in opulence. This lavishly illustrated survey-filled with images taken for the foremost shelter magazines as well as many unpublished photographs from the designer's own archive-closely follows Buatta's highly documented career from his professional start in the 1950s working for department store B. Altman & Co. and Elisabeth Draper, Inc. to his most recent projects, which include some of the country's finest residences. Buatta shares exclusive insights into his process, his own rules for decorating, and personal stories of his adventures along the way.

The first authoritative assessment of Mario Buatta by a protegee of the decorator. Never-before-seen archival material is culled to present the design master as someone who remains impactful in today s world of maximalist interiors. This book presents the design tricks and decorative life of Mario Buatta (1935 2018), one of America s most famous interior decorators. Drawing upon Buatta s vast archives and revealing the foundations of his work, which include hundreds of presentation boards, more than eighty scrapbooks chronicling his career, and correspondence with clients and such design notables as John Fowler and Sister Parish, Anatomy of a Decorator illuminates the designer s work with a focus on influences, process, and evolution. His very last projects, not included in Rizzoli s comprehensive book on the decorator in 2013, are evaluated and provide readers a masterclass in decorating a la Buatta. Ribbons, needlepoint, fine English and American antiques, floral chintzes, blue-and-white porcelains, lacquerware, botanicals, vibrant color combinations, and whimsy abound. Chapters include a close look at the important figures who guided his trajectory, including Nancy Lancaster, Rose Cumming, Keith Irvine, and Albert Hadley; an assessment of how the designer catapulted from Staten Island without a college degree to become a household name; and a breakdown of Buatta s design vocabulary and how-tos. This book is an essential addition to the libraries of design aficionados.

Paisley's juggling three key plans her senior year: 1.Get her parents back together 2.Organize a stellar prom 3.Find the perfect date Finding the perfect date--an excerpt from Do Over: I read, "Would you rather have someone run their fingertips or fingernails over your wrist?" Trey's eyebrows lifted. "I don't know. Show me." He flipped his hand over, palm up with the back of his hand against the black foam bar. I swallowed and ran my fingertips over the blue veins on his wrist. His fingers twitched. I looked into his eyes when I lightly scraped my nails over the same spot. His fingers flexed and touched the back of my hand. His eyes widened and dilated. His dark green gaze dropped to my mouth. I took my hand away. "Which one?" "Yes," he said. "Both." I scribbled the answer. The cart jolted upwards another two feet and paused. He said, "What about you?" "Huh?" "What did you answer?" I shrugged. "I'll do mine later." Trey flipped my hand over against the bar. He held it down with his right hand, and with his left rubbed calloused fingers down my palm and across the inside of my wrist. I felt the sensation from my fingertips to my elbow and reflexively tried to jerk my hand away. Trey tightened his grip, and ran his fingernails lightly over the same spot. A shiver went through my whole body. "I wonder if the order matters?" He ran his fingertips over my skin next. The tingles were amazing. I shivered and yanked free. Staring hard at the questionnaire, I drew a column down the page and wrote my answer: Both. Lights came on around the fair, refusing to let the day end as red, gold, and pink streaked through the sky with the sunset. The evening breeze pushed the cart and shifted Trey's brown hair across his forehead, hiding his injury. He slid an arm over my shoulders. "What's the next one?"

There's no chance at an MTV award with that kiss." LOL. Until the director says, "Hey, Intern. Yeah, you. Ashley. You're right. So, teach Caspian how to kiss. Oh, and get in front of the camera. We're going to need you in this next shot." OMG.
