What They're Saying
Critics Review
“You’ll love his collection of photographs of beautiful New Orleans rooms layered with his design tips and anecdotes of his own design experiences.“—Southern Living
”[Big, Easy Style] reads like a hard-copy extension of Batt’s personality–elegant, gregarious, funny, showman-like. The rooms he’s chosen to showcase are painstakingly designed, yet, in that enviable way, appear so easily tossed together.“— Susan Langenhennig, The Times Picayune
“With great passion and a zest for creativity, [Bryan Batt] and Katy Danos offer thoughtful tips on color, collecting, patterns and much more along the way. Kerri McCaffety captures the beauty of each room in her inviting photographs. I love Batt’s unique whimsy style. How many of us would think of placing giant decorations from a Mardi Gras float in a lavish dining room? Or how about hanging an ornate crystal chandelier in the kitchen? Or what about painting a Chippendale-style chair mellow yellow. But they all work!“—Jeryl Brunner, Stylist.com
“If you’ve missed Bryan Batt since he left the set of Mad Men in 2009 (he played Salvatore Romano), catch up with him in a decor ode to his hometown: New Orleans. [In Big, Easy Style], we’re treated to his vision of making rooms inviting, festive and ultimately setting the foundation for entertaining, which is what this get-down town is all about.“—San Francisco Chronicle
“The book is full of Batt’s tips. It’s like spending an afternoon with someone who you’d like to watch decorate a home.”– Karen Dalton-Beninato, Huffington Post Books
