Italian term or phrase: Tutta Maison e Matita
From an feature article on the creative director (female) of a very well known Italian fashion house.

Obviously this is a play on the Italian saying "Tutta Casa e Chiesa" and I am at a loss for how to render a catchy English translation. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
