Don't Tell David, But I Have A Crush On Mario Buatta



I have always loved chintz.





Every time I see a room decorated with chintz ~ my heart skips a beat.





So it's no wonder that I have a little crush on the "King of Chintz" the one and
only Mario Buatta.





What can I say?  Mario just has a way with chintz!



Not to worry ~ David and I will be celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary
this Saturday.  I may love Mario's way with chintz, but David still has the
key to my heart!

Oh and Bentley does too ~ don't you Bentley?


Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Happy Anniversary! Chintz reminds me of the past.....my mom loved it. Mario lives (at least he used to live) on Staten Island. xo

    I don't know who Mario is but I love chintz too! It's so English Gardenesque.

    He has been a favorite of mine for years, his cabbage roses were to die for and lwhen he mixed the patterns together with the buffalo checks, wow he is just the best...thanks for reminding me...I did the cushions in my backyard on my last post like that, I know he would approve...come for a visit...

    Well happy anniversary coming up, ma'am!!

    I love chintz - but not the fabric, I love chintz on china - now THAT makes my heart skip a beat!
