Patricia Altschul‘s historic Charleston home, decorated by the late Mario Buatta, is an all-time favorite here at The Glam Pad, so when new pictures become available, I just cannot wait to share. Recently Chairish featured a wonderful interview with Pat along with a home tour, and the pictures are just divine! Patricia tells Chairish…
“I jokingly say I spent more time with Mario than I did with any of my husbands,” says Patricia, rhapsodizing on the relationship that spanned more than thirty years before Mario’s passing almost two years ago. “My taste was compatible with his in the sense that I loved pattern, I loved chintz, I loved the English country style.” Once he’d assessed the work to be done, Mario unleashed a team of experts to tackle the home in stages. The walls, which are faux marble, were among the first projects to be undertaken. “There were three people here doing the walls for, I don’t know, six months, on scaffolds,” explains Patricia. “And after the walls were done, then we had trompe l’oeil painting floors done. Then came the wallpapers and wallcoverings.”
Let’s take a look inside!

Oh my gosh that house… Buckingham Palace can’t hold a candle to it! This is fascinating to read about the order in which it was created. I’m going straight over to chairish to read more! Thank you Andrea!!! ❤️
Classic Mario decor. It’s all so beautiful. Makes me sad to see those antique silhouettes in full sunlight on that staircase, though. They will be ruined that way.
Hi Cynthia,
Luzanne addressed this in one of her guest posts… Patricia has special museum-quality protectant on all of her windows. They thought of everything! 🙂

Great news! I should have guessed. She has a high regard for her things and wouldn’t endanger them. Thanks!
I always love and am excited when Patricia is on the show. Love her home. Thank you for opening your home with the beautiful pictures.
This woman has style, class and appears to be a genuinely good person. She is a role model for southern women and I constantly tell my granddaughters to aspire to be Patricia-like. Thank you for sharing.
Sophisticated beautiful classy lady. Love her home. Does she give tours? Joke.
