"AD100 Designer Mario Buatta's Timeless Interiors\nIn honor of the release of the designer's first-ever book, we revisit eight memorable residences crafted by the Prince of Chintz and published in AD\nAn investor and his wife enlisted Mario Buatta to create a colorful backdrop for their collection of modern and contemporary art and photography. Sherbet hues enliven the living room, shown, which features a commanding barrel-vaulted ceiling.\n\n (November 2009)\nThe card room is lined in a faux-tortoiseshell wall covering.\nThe designer used multiple tables in the dining room to create a more relaxed environment.\nBuatta transformed superstar Mariah Carey's triplex in Manhattan into an opulent oasis. Gold accents, a mirrored cocktail table, and beaded pillows gleam and glimmer in the living room, shown.\n\n (November 2001)\nBuatta used a soft palette with floral accents to create a feminine master bedroom.\nA chandelier adds a touch of glamour to the spacious dressing room.\nIn his own home, the designer surrounds himself with beloved objects he has collected throughout the years. The living room walls are glazed in three shades of lime-green, and the curtain fabric has been used in several of Buatta's projects. \"Chintz is cozy,\" he says. \"It tones a room down, takes off the fancy edge.\"\n\n (September 1997)\nAnother view of the living room.\nBuatta's collection of 18th-, 19th-, and early-20th-century ceramics is displayed in entry hall/dining room.\nPerched high above San Francisco Bay, this Beaux Arts ch\u00E2teau was commissioned by railroad-car heiress Harriet Pullman Carolan in the early 1910s. Architects Ernest Sanson and Willis J. Polk loosely modeled the 65,000-square-foot residence after France's Vaux-le-Vicomte. In 1998 the current owners tapped Buatta\u2014with whom they had previously worked\u2014to head a five-year renovation of the property. The designer selected many French antiques for a sitting room and carefully restored the plasterwork and the parquet floor.\n\n (December 2006)\nThe dining room's ceiling mural and faux-marbre walls are original to the house.\nThe Chinese Room\u2014used as a game room\u2014features lacquer panels and a black-and-white marble floor.\nDuring the Reagan administration, Buatta was hired\u2014along with decorator Mark Hampton\u2014to unify the 112 rooms of Blair House, the president's guesthouse, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House in Washington, D.C. A three-year renovation joined four houses and a new wing into a cohesive entity. The walls of the Dillon Room, shown, are covered with a hand-painted 18th-century Chinese paper from Gracie.\n\n (October 1988)\nThe Truman Study dates from 1948\u201352, when President Harry S. Truman and his family had to stay at Blair House while the White House underwent a major renovation. The mantel\u2014from Mrs. Theodore (Edith) Roosevelt's White House bedroom\u2014is believed to be by architect Charles F. McKim.\nEnglish furnishings from the Heathcote Art Foundation, such as a stenciled mahogany tester bed, appear in the main bedroom of the new wing.\nBuatta partnered with architect Michael Graves to deliver a unique design for a couple's barn turned residence in New Jersey. Buatta used a neutral palette in the main space, shown, to create a casual, relaxed look. A small sitting area faces a triangular stone fireplace.\n\n (May 1994)\nA double-sided fireplace serves both the dining room, shown, and the living room.\nAn overscale toile covers the bed, armchair, and chaise longue in a guest room.\nThe society columnist known as Suzy called on Buatta, a longtime friend, to decorate her Manhattan apartment in a 1903 townhouse designed by architect Horace Trumbauer. An apricot silk covers the walls of the grand living room, shown, which was previously a ballroom.\n\n (January 2012)\nThe dining room is tented in a regimental-stripe fabric, and a French chandelier is suspended over the table.\nFloral patterns and serene tones mix in the bedroom.\nFor a client's country house on Long Island's North Shore, the designer revamped the worn interiors in a Georgian-inspired style. Buatta chose legendary decorator Nancy Lancaster's favorite shade of yellow for the living room.\n\n (November 2004)\nAntique scenic wallpaper by Zuber serves as a focal point in the dining room.\nA blue toile envelops the master suite."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
