Hailed as an icon in Hollywood, Madeline Stuart s work is exceptional. AD wrote, in a city driven by artifice and spectacle, Madeline Stuart celebrates understatement, authenticity, and elegance without affectation. The daughter of Mel Stuart, who directed Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (in which Madeline had a cameo) and a decorator mother whose work was favored by film stars, Madeline grew up part of the Hollywood elite. Her client list has included Larry David, the late Nora Ephron, Fleetwood Mac s Lindsay Buckingham, art collectors David and Susan Gersh, and many more. In No Place Like Home, Stuart shares eight recent houses, from her renovation of Cedric Gibbons s LA house to a newly built Montana ranch to a Mediterranean-inspired home on the coast of La Jolla, CA. All have been newly photographed for the book, with oversized detail shots mingling with full rooms and exteriors. Stuart shares her design process for each home, from her initial vision through execution. Committed to the notion of timeless design, be it modernist or traditional in inspiration, Stuart brings her extensive knowledge base to every home she designs. Her skill with scale, proportion and balance, along with her unexpected combinations of furniture and elements and keen sense of history and craftsmanship, result in richly layered residences that feel authentic to their period and place, while remaining always relevant, modern, and beautiful.
