Mastering the art of the “mix” is an important lesson this season. With so many luscious prints popping up on everything from pillows to slingbacks- the task of creating the right combo can be daunting- so when I saw this I took note:
Today the Washington Post ran an interview with famed interior designer Mario Buatta, a.k.a ” the Prince of Chintz”. The interview, which took place last month while he was in town giving a lecture to benefit the Georgetown House Tour, touched base with the designer on his famous Americanized “English Country” style and his ability to mix colors and patterns to create rooms that have a sense of balance, warmth and what he likes to call an “undecorated” look.
