I love Scalamandre..however the book is soooo dated. Most pictures of rooms are in red and gold – THERE ARE
other colors! The photography was beautiful. Since decorating is a passion for me, I felt I should let you know this is OLD NEWS!! Decorations from the 60’s and 70’s.. Was hoping for something more
atuned to today. I was most disappointed.

I am a big Scalamandre fan so this book was a must have. It is great for someone who enjoys the beauty of fabric and trims. It is not great for someone looking for beautiful rooms and decorating tips which is why I think some are disappointed. For me, it is a real feast for the eyes in that I love the luxuriousness of the fabrics and the drama of the rooms pictured. It is the essence of Scalamandre. I enjoy this book very much.

This is the most breathtaking book of gorgeous, exquisite, superb, classic, (that will NEVER go out of style), great taste I have in my book collection. I’ve purchased the book many times as gifts to people who relish and appreciate sensational, fabulous taste! A must! No disappointment here!…(Ya think I used enough adjectives?) It’s an absolute treasure for people who LOVE beautiful things.

I have been looking at design books for a long time and this is by far the best inspirational book that I have come across. I rented this book from my library and I didn’t want to give it back. I had to buy this book for my Library. I am a person that likes to creat everything myself and this book gives me the motivation to do just that. Enjoy!
