As an interior design blogger, I see a lot of beautiful homes but my favorite, hands down, is the antebellum Charleston mansion of Patricia Altschul. Built in 1854, Patricia’s home was designed by one of my all-time favorite interior designers, Mario Buatta, and it features all of my favorite things… fine antiques, chintz, blue and white, needlepoint, Chinoiserie accents, and Zuber wall coverings… And – icing on the cake – the exterior is painted my favorite color, pink! It is truly my dream house. Thanks to Patricia, I am addicted to Southern Charm, as I simply cannot get enough of her elegant style. I have featured her home numerous times on my blog (here, here, here, and here), and I was thrilled to see Charleston Home + Design publish new images! Photography by Patrick Brickman & Colin Grey Voigt…
Please visit Charleston Home + Design to see more and to read a fabulous Q&A with Patricia. Make sure to set your DVR for Season 4 of Southern Charm which returns to Bravo on April 3, and don’t forget to pre-order Patricia’s book The Art of Southern Charm which will be released April 18. For daily inspiration on all things Patricia, you can follow her fan club @welovepataltschul via Instagram.

Mario sends his love!

My grown sons always made fun of me,esp @ Disneyland when we sat as a family for a silhouette portrait…I found sheet small boy & girl black stickers ,@ Hobby Lobby scrap book area & put them on white satin finish ornaments & they Are going to be Christmas Surprise gifts to each..ha ha ,laughs on them..I have a large profile Victorian woman ( tin wall decor) ,spray painted her matte black & glued to an ornate mirror over my bed,she peeks out from the Blue Toile bed crown,so girly.. yet every night those. 3 boys would jump on by bed & be read too… love your blog…..
You are a smarty! Genius! Way ahead of your time!!!
I wouldl like to know if any of the Silhouettes are Clay Rice ? My mother and I had ours done by him and I
had my daughter’s done by the Son. I love them covering the stairwell.
I just knew she would have Zuber wallpaper in her dining room. Lovely home.
It must be a hoot for Patricia to watch herself on that flat screen above the fireplace in her bedroom!
Can’t wait to get her book!
This blog , as well as many others, inspires me , informs me and swoon over the photos. Yes swoon! I take care to pick up details and love the layering of beautiful things in beautiful rooms. In one room, a patterned rug was used instead of an expected oriental, bingo! I have been trying to pull different colors into my room through a rug. No more I decided to go natural grass rug or something in herringbone pattern. I feel my eyes have consumed a lot calories – all so rich and I love ❤️ it.
