I am floored by the interior design of Diamond Baratta and this book is filled with page after page of incredible rooms. Even if your own taste is more on the mild side--check out this book because it could very well convert you to bringing pizzazz and excitement into your own home. Highly recommended!
Best decorating book I've ever bought!

I have clipped Diamond and Baratta pictures from magazines for years. But nothing prepared me for the arrival of their first book! As a decorative painter and homeowner who loves to decorate, this book is simply superb! I have more than 100 decorating books, and none of them compare to the joy, exuberance, and warmth that the Diamond and Baratta rooms exhibit. The colors are bright and happy, while the rooms themselves invite the reader in. There's enough inspiration going on to keep a person busy for months - with a museum's worth of pictures. The first few passes through the book are almost overwhelming. If you can't have a cup of coffee actually sitting in one of those gorgeous places, you can have one while looking at them! The layout, paper quality, and photography are superior. Oddly enough, I found the most understated and least exciting part of the entire book is the cover....it gives little clue to the wonders within. For a homeowner, collector, interior designer, or booklover - this is a great find! Highly recommmend!!
Joie de vivre decorating style!!! Buy it!!

I waited for this book to publish after seeing some of their work in magazines-when you see their work you know it b/c of their precision to detail. To be honest-isn't that why you hire a decorator and honestly no one does it quite like these guys!!! Their pinks are VERY pink- yellows Very yellow but NO ONE does BLUE like these guys do BLUE and that is worth the price of admission!!!!!Enter their world you won't be disappointed!
