The Tartan Topiary is supported by its viewers, thank you. A purchase using the link above will help in our efforts to continue providing book reviews.
Although this book was published a decade ago, Alex Papachristidis’s multifaceted approach and fresh color palette make his rooms a perfect backdrop for glamorous living and an easy elegance. He discusses style strategies such as draping hall tables and hanging matchstick blackout shades beneath bedroom curtains, and he opens his international address book to share favorite resources for fabrics, furniture, and antiques.
In the forward Mario Buatta exalts much praise upon Alex Papachristidis and states that if he were not a decorator, he would hire Alex himself.
I am convinced that your program should win a reward from editors and decorators. It is all class,elegance,style and of import and interest. Thank you,Mary.
Quintessence has a video tour of his home and gardens that are wonderful and shows what a nice person he is. He also gives some great advice on living and entertaining.
Isn't his house everything !!! Are you packed yet !!! I am !! Let's move in !!! Lol. Be blessed !!!
I did see that- I enjoy Susanna Salk, and is there anyone she doesn't know?
Loved his episode. He and Timothy Corrigan are my favorites.
Would love to see you feature Mario Buatta's book... He only has the one, but is considered to be an encyclopedia of design! It would seem most fitting, since he inscribed the forward for this book... Absolutely loving your awesome reviews!!!
Thanks for taking us down memory lane.....so many of his fine and opulent ideas apply today as well. I was able to get more ideas.
My goodness, he's a great designer I love his style, timeless and vintage, thank you for sharing, love from Texas ❤ ♥
Thanks for watching! Hope you are staying cool in the Lone Star State!
I do the same thing. I always look to see what design books other designers have in their homes. I call it my networking.
Enjoy !!!
Merci! Utterly enchanting...
Yippee...
Love, love the patterns and color.
I’m so excited. Found this book for $54. Grabbed that one up. Great review and so enjoying your videos.
Wow- great find and I really appreciate your comment! Hope you have a nice weekend.
I watch his videos over and over and love everything about the NY apartment and the Hamptons family home. I see the book is $119 now, a bit too much for me, but it's still on my list. The one thing I do notice is that we all pronounce his name Papachristidis (dees), but he pronounces is (is with a short i sound). I'd like to get Mario's book too. I just saw it on one site for $2,400!!
Alex seems to be a genuinely kind person. I appreciate that this is often mentioned by his friends and clients. In October I will be reviewing the book he wrote last year (The Elegant Life). I will say, his books definitely retain value and I had no idea the Mario Buatta book was that expensive.

Good Afternoon.

@@thetartantopiary A lovely French blue I'm hoping. Hehe ...
How do I find print reproductions of the 9-piece nude collection on the cover? Those are fantastic.
I will look at the book and see if they give credit for the prints.
