"It seems preposterous that no book had ever been published about
Mario Buatta...finally there's a generous volume covering his
career, which brought to prominence in the U.S the English
country-house style, buoyed by his daring but unerring sense of
color. After more than 400 pages, it seems greedy to want
more...this is an essential addition to interior design literature.
Worth waiting for." ~Interior Design Magazine
"Buatta's magnificent monograph celebrates over fifty years of
design and decoration by one of American's preeminent
decorators-the history, influences, and of course the brilliant
body of work, all sumptuously illustrated and photographed.
Needless to say, there are a great many lessons to be learned and
endless inspiration to be had here-it's a true masterclass in
interior design." -Whatisjameswearing.com
"Never short on floral chintz, cheerful colors, and a
sophisticated air, the views of Buatta's extraordinary body of work
make this tome a must-have." ~Traditional Home
"Finally, after a half-century of designing and reinventing the

in all, this is a book that you'll thoroughly enjoy. You'll also be
glad that you added this soon-to-be classic to your design
library." ~Peak of Chic

Post

Wonderful World of Rooms...It's biblical in proportions and oh so
wise in words...should be placed atop your book stack-never another
to be placed above it...What a divine book to have...It's big-it's
bold-it's beautiful." -Little Augury
"...full of funny anectodes, personal snapshots, and, of course,
the lavish rooms he has decorated throughout his career....he holds
nothing back..." -Quest
