Did we forget to mention that we were quoted in yesterday's House & Home? In an article we've been waiting to see for over a month, Kimberly Stevens puts together a great story, The Secret Source is Out, which cuts to the heart of what is going on right now. We love that Mario Buatta is pissed off (not that he shouldn't be). While there will always be a place for the high end decorator, the private party is over.

I hope Mario Buatta had his tongue planted firmly in cheek when he made those remarks (though I have to say the first time I read it I really didn't think so). He sounds absolutely ridiculous.
Quality Meat looks like a set for "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover" and not in a good way.
