Did you catch the cover story in the July/August issue of
Veranda?
It features a Palm Springs house designed by John Saladino, and I do believe it has rekindled my love affair with his work. I first fell in love with him in high school when I saw this article in the May, 1995 issue of
House Beautiful:
 |
| The Great Room is uh...great. |
 |
The Dining Room.
I continue to dream of a circular pedestal table with armchairs. It's been sixteen years. |
That's right, I subscribed to
House Beautiful in high school. So what? It doesn't make me a massive
nerd, it just makes me...okay, I am a massive nerd. Let me show you more of why I love John Saladino.
1) He is the king of romantic luxury.
2) He effortlessly mixes contemporary and rustic elements.
3) I want to eat dinner at his house.
4) He designs every surface to perfection.
5) He invented scratch-coat plaster.
6) He can design a room with a thousand layers, without it ever appearing busy or unrefined.  |

7) He doesn't just make outdoor rooms, he knows how to make an outdoor space.  |

Do you love Saladino too? You're in luck! If you have just $24,500,000 to spare you can still purchase his villa! Just please invite me to dinner!!!
I'm moving in. Don't care which room. Any of them. (and not a Fisher Price or Disney logo in sight.........)

Seriously, you subscribed to House Beautiful in high school?! I may have been getting Sassy or Seventeen at that point. Yet another fun fact about my super sophisticated friend!
