Publication
Curtain Up!
Thirty years of spectacular showhouse rooms.
Curtain Up!: Thirty Years of Spectacular Showhouse Rooms is a glossy compendium of interior designer Barbara Ostrom’s extraordinary rooms that she has created in the past 30 years for the most prestigious showhouses in New York City, New Jersey, and the Hamptons.
With a preface by Mario Buatta, the book highlights some of Barbara’s most wildly imaginative and over-the-top rooms. It also displays her process from start to finish, where she often has to begin with a gutted, crumbling room. The results are whimsical and colorful, with details ranging from a crystal chandelier adorned with an umbrella, ten foot-high canopy beds, antique birdcages, Fu dogs, a 15th century knight in armor, Grecian gas lights, a hand-woven hammock from Jamaica, to ceilings painted with monkeys, parrots, squirrels, and butterflies.
Being known for her breathtaking showhouse rooms, the late, great Mario Buatta (“The Prince Of Chintz”), graciously gave Barbara the title, “The Queen Of The Showhouse”.
