I’m ever so grateful of people who share their homes and love of design with us. I’m humbled and inspired.
As are we!! An honor to share these design talents at home!
This is one of the properties I have seen in publications year after year. This is exceptionally well designed and crafted. I wish Richard Shapiro had had more of an opportunity to speak. I would have liked to hear about his vision for the landscaping.
I'm sure which is Shapiro created Dynasty in the 80s so alongside Aaron Spelling in miss zafiro the Mrs severe oh so I'm sure that it's an elegant home
It has it all and then some! Fantastic inside and out. What a serene place to visit. Best eye candy in LA.
Perfection - thank you for the visit!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!
He said : " it is all done for my visual pleasure. " Well this is exactly what came to my mind watching this video/visit. " It an encounter of pure beauty where ever the eyes look. I so thank you for this video. I always say this each time and I do mean it each time, Thank you for taking the time to make us discover pure beauty which is express in so many different forms : houses, curated gardens, boutiques (sometimes), etc. etc. We witness true talent through out those visits, things that otherwise we would not be able to see/discover. With all my appreciation, thank you so very much, both of you girls.
Rosalind Hambleton Rosalind - your comment made my day! This is exactly why we make these videos!! We so appreciate your insightful comments and avid viewership! - Stacey
Our complete honor and pleasure Rosalind!
Amazing home and talented man. One of my favs. 😊
Glad to hear it!
The house is really beautiful, and the charm of the owner's long life! It is a pity that the hostess of the show is always smart and keeps explaining and empty words. She often interrupts the host's words and listens inattentively, which makes her feel very impolite. For this space, she is like a casual spy intruder instead of entering with respect and love. I really hope I can hear the owner's time and emotions of living in this house injected into every corner of this space, that will make the show more truly infectious and tempting!
You're so right about this woman. She's irritating, I observed this long ago.
She’s always interrupting and seems like in a hurry. Her hosting abilities are just weird
God, shut the hell up.
I'm blown away, this is absolutely inspiring and so so fabulous
Isn't it absolutely amazing?! So glad you enjoyed - it was a rare treat to visit!
You have shared some amazing properties in the past but this ... this is beyond.
It IS beyond!! 🙏
sheer perfection
Wow, I am a minimalist myself, but wow, this is a beautiful museum to sit and have a coffee and enjoy for lunch EVERY DAY. He has made it so wonderful, better than any museum today.
What a lovely compliment! Yes, Richard is extremely knowledgeable about art and has a fantastic collection throughout his home!
Incredible connoisseurship with no pretensions. Rarefied aesthetics! (Love the philosophy of "Visual Pleasure") Thank you for a fulfilling experience. One of the best!!!!

I love houses where people live for years and years. so many stories.
This is the most incredible visit. You really capture this house. Had the pleasure of attending one of his dinners in the garden. He has an amazing vision and eye. You have to put his house in Malibu on the list. This man is a national treasure. Thank you for sharing.
Joseph Ruggiero Thank you Joe - means a lot coming from you! Lucky you to have had dinner there and totally agree about Richard’s talents! And lastly - yes to the Malibu house...
YES YES YES!!!!!!

This property of Mr. Shapiro is beyond GORGEOUS!!!! You certainly captured the BEAUTY of ART, EXQUISITE LANDSCAPING and a home that is truly a mans castle!!! Well done SIR!!!! LIZ
We agree!! So glad you enjoyed!
This could be the most awesome home to date.
Brian Simpson Glad you think so!! Thank you!
This home is breathtaking! Richard is a genius. I absolutely love the landscaping, it is perfect. The artwork in the house is stunningly beautiful- I particularly like the coloured circles on the stairwell and the cardboard sculpture on the landing.The wonderfully beautiful Italian mantelpiece topped by that outrageous mirror! The bathroom all in marble!! The beautiful floors!! The exquisite metalwork! The beautiful Roman pool!! I am in love with this house. Thank you Richard for letting us view your home, it is a work of art, genius, dedication and love.
This morning I woke and was like "It's been almost a month... Stacey and Susanna should upload something anytime soon" and BAM... lol. Loved this house (this one goes to my fav list). There's just so much respect for history going on here. I loved every second of this video. It was really inspiring. Thank you guys :)
Our pleasure! Sorry for the wait
Oh no, no need to be sorry. I know how much time and effort it takes to make this quality videos. This one was amazing :)
Ignacio Martínez Argüello Exactly!!! And you are such a loyal viewer to know our publishing schedule so well!! 👍🏻🙏🏻
This was a the best lecture of art ,style and respect to the history and the nature..Tank you !
Thank you! Richard is so knowledgeable with such an educated and sophisticated eye!
Simply remarkable property! I just love these videos!! Keep it going!!!!
It is indeed! And thank you - more coming - stay tuned!
Richard Shapiro is truly a Renaissance man, His home and garden are exceptionally beautiful. A masterpiece inside and out. Beyond the imagination. Thank you, Richard Shapiro, for sharing it with us. And, thank you, Suzanna, for Quintessence.
Thank you Marjory! We agree - Richard is brilliant - so glad you enjoyed! - Stacey (behind the camera)
@@quintessenceblg Love, love your show. I always look forward to it.
Beautiful! I could spend hours looking at this home, grounds and art. tfs
Me too!!
That was a "jaw to the floor" amazing property. Thank you soooooo much for giving us such a visual feast.
ivydog100 Isn’t it?! Our pleasure!
I have so many words to describe the beauty of the structures and the joining of the art with the gardens but so little space to put to print.. Stunning interiors and art added as finishing touches, a joy to view.. I could look at this video over and over and see something new (and old), that I hadn't noticed before. My God Susanna, thank you for bringing us along! Just fabulous! I know I say this often but this IS absolutely my fave video ever!
Thank you so much Amy - thrilled you enjoyed! - Stacey (behind the camera)
You are so welcome Stacey and might I add that you do a WONDERFUL job of showing it all to us thru your lens!! I, for one, appreciate your talent!
I'm so glad! Stacey did a brilliant job of capturing it all. And I encourage multiple views: I learn something new from what Richard says each time I watch it too!
Me TOO!!!!
Amy Hoffman...I totally agree with you...such an amazingly stunning home!!!
Wow!!!!!! Thankyou 💐🌲🌷
Our pleasure!!
Love that yard with the sculptures and boxwoods, great idea. The inside, nice, not overly cluttered and great art to look at. Been wanting to do some 3 dimensional art and that one upstairs captures it best. Cool owner, very cool house, love it.
Oh my goodness! What GLORIOUSNESS! My heart is still beating a little faster than normal. Touring this house was like experiencing a spiritual awakening of the expanse of your imagination! I have never used such superfluous words to describe a home before but THIS warrants it! Thank you Susanna for sharing Richard’s home with us via Quintessence 🙂❤️!
Well put! Richard is so imaginative and creative! So glad you enjoyed his home and talents! - Stacey (behind the camera)
A high concentration of culture and history in one place. Thank you, literally like a virtual visit to a museum of fine arts.
Agreed! Richard is so very knowledgeable and talented! Glad you enjoyed!
What an eye!!!!! "It feels so hopeful". It does, doesn't it? And humbling. We could all use an extra touch of humility about our place in time, and the possibility of future. Truly a lovely moment.
Raised the bar! This is the best video I have seen about home decor in quite a few time, and I have to see a lot of home decor videos during the year. Beautiful house, so interesting to walk through. The one word for 7:47 is Impact! I could put a chair and look/enjoy that area for several afternoons and it would never be enough. Congratulations!
Thank you so very much!! Richard's home is an amazing art-filled retreat that you would never guess is in the center of LA! Delighted you liked - feel free to check out more of our episodes!
Wow I am impressed with his attention to detail and his taste and I am not easily impressed. It is simply magical.
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed!!
I'm looking at it and I still can't imagine it. Its absolutely stunning.
Somewhere in these comments it's must have been said that Richard Shapiro is a genius of design. But he is more - a scholar, an artist and an original mind who has created a world of beauty that encapsulates the best of art and architecture to create a contemporary setting that is both classical, modern and timeless. Ooh that's right, he's a genius!
nevada531 so well said! And so true
nevada531 So true!!
AND a really nice person!
@@rpbphx Indeed!
@@Fanouvvi I came back to watch this piece again and found your kind comment, thank you.
What a magnificently appointed home. So impressive and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure!! So glad we could offer a peek into this very special home!
I love this house! Have coveted it since I saw it in a Vogue Living Australia magazine! So beautiful!
I was thinking the "Claridge's-inspired bathroom" looked like a luxury hotel bathroom right before his explanation. It's really beautiful & would constantly be a pleasure to use.
I really like this guy, Richard. He's cool, and charming in a casual way. Obviously Susanna thought so, too. Ha ha. Great property! Great show! 😁👍🏻❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your amazing home!
Bellísimo hogar, el jardín me fascinó. Saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷
Thanks for tuning in - we love our South American viewers!
I have so much respect for people who can create a complex, soulful beauty around themselves.
It’s a unique home of a connoisseur !!! Thank you !
Stunning - that garden: oh my god I love it
Wow! The places you get to view Susanna are so incredible, it's like the pages of a Veranda magazine come to life right before my eyes!! I'm enjoying this channel immensely, thank you so kindly.
Thanks so much Marnie! Susanna and I are so grateful to the many talented designers who open their doors to us! - Stacey (behind the camera and the blog)
What a dream to be able to create such a space and live in it. Such a fulfilling and soulful experience I would imagine ! Truly inspired.
Margerie kruger Totally agree - glad you enjoyed!!
Thank you Susanna, for sharing this beautiful journey in a magical dream house! xoxo!
May God give you a lot of strength and health, it is very nice to watch your videos.
Thank you - glad you enjoy!
What most struck a chord with me were your and Richard Shapiro’s remarks about the juxtaposition of classical and contemporary art. I too find it calming and assuring - a reminder that the artistic impulse is timeless and always blossoming in new ways. Thank you for that exchange.
Love everything about this house, so in harmony, awesome!!
the art is so moody and interesting and the garden so magical and peaceful. We have a winner baby!
Great Italian garden in LA with beautiful art collections and how the old mix with new blends perfectly together
wildlifephil We agree - Richard’s house and property are a tribute to his refined and sophisticated eye!! Glad you enjoyed!
Oh Richard, you definitely succeed. I am not a big fan from the modern looking things, but you place is beautiful...!
Wow, Richards home and garden is amazing! Thank you, for sharing it with us!
Our pleasure!
Love, love the outdoor garden columns, fantastic.
Beautiful!!! This house look ínside like a museum, great pictures and accesories. Outside , looks like a botanic garden. Great house!!
Richard Shapiro's home is absolutely beautiful & gorgeous!!!
Beautiful property. The best of your videos. And in Los Angeles!
Wow! You know he accomplished his mission of making guests feel transported when the current (current-ish anyway) phone becomes the absurd instead of the other way around. Beauty in absolutely every detail, like that tub surround! Gorgeous.
K B Totally agree!! Thank you for tagging along!
the garden is the piece de resistance! beautiful! amazing work this man did!
Couldn't agree more!
Although I cannot afford all these beautiful things even a piece of these different things I can use my imagination inspired by your tours to create something beautiful in my own home . thank you!🌹
Exactly our goal!! We are not expecting viewers to try and replicate these spaces but to inspire and perhaps spark an idea you can translate into your own home! Thank you Sandra!
@@quintessenceblg The thought I often recall: "GOOD TASTE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE" and GOOD TASTE to me is WHAT to ME is GOOD TASTE...
I cannot stop watching this series, episode after episode, it has captured all my attention, great job!!!! Greetings from Corfu, Greece.
Well thank you so much Joanna!! We are thrilled you are enjoying and love that we are reaching you in Corfu - someplace I have always wanted to visit!
@@quintessenceblg you are most welcome, I am sure you'd love it, lots of atmosphere in our town, and lovely landscapes. Ty so much.
It's phenominal what he has done his passion and vision and the cardboard ..its at another level incredible
I rarely like any neo classical approach, but I found this home is just exceptionally tasteful and beautiful. Thanks, I found it very inspiring and I greatly enjoyed watching!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
This nan might be an incredible designer, etc, but thus video’s description should’ve also listed him as an Artist!
•Incredibly gorgeous!
••Proof that “Beauty” is what drives him!!
Oops - sorry, I just reread the description & he is listed as an artist 👍🏻👌🏻
@@soniatriana9091 But I like that you appreciated his artistic side without knowing!
The bedroom of my dream. Books and books and lovely places to curl up and read.
Boxwoods should be in every garden; they bring out your creatively and keep you engaged.
I love the grounds! As well I love the huge circular art going up the stairs!
Beautiful home, eclectic interior with so many delights for the eye, but it is the garden that attracted me to this video. This gentleman must have visited The DuPont estates, Wintertour and Longwood Gardens at some time in his life for inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it! Richard is very well traveled so entirely possible!
So incredible and inspiring! Thank you for sharing this gem of a home and garden, truly breathtaking!!
Lucy Geddes Our pleasure - so glad you enjoyed!
This is a wonderful and unique home...
It is!! Glad you enjoyed!
Richard is from another world! I love him. This is more than beauty, it is a hanging dream of heaven.
Isn't it amazing?! Richard is a source of endless inspiration!
The juxtaposition in this house interior is very well calculated. I must say, it's not easy to achieve.Thank you Sir for let us enjoy this gem.
Had to see it again for the 4th time, still magical.
So happy to hear that - it was an amazing visit!
Omg! I can’t believe his property is only 1 acre or less. Oh, the inspiration. I need Richard in my life for my future Connecticut home. Love the videos. Thanks
Loved this video❤️
Thank you - delighted to hear!!
Wow, amazing property, we feel like traveling when you showing the mansion. Thanks dear

Absolutely dreamy! Love every inch.
We did too!
That was incredible!!!💗I have a little beach house,which I am in the process of redoing. I have been watching your videos for three days straight. They are so beautiful and have so inspired me!!!We can't travel now and these have taken me to places I would never have the opportunity to experience. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Helen!! So happy we could provide some vicarious travel and inspiration in these challenging times!

E sim, o trabalho de vocês é fantástico! Me inspira muito nas minhas criações como profissional de interiores.
Delighted to hear that!!
The ambience is good and neat,wish my retirement home to be as such,for wonderful relaxation and bonding with family.
Right down to throwing down the coffee to create a patina. Everything is intentional. When a house is a home. Truly personal.
As you say, its magical!!! 😊😊😊
This has to be the most beautiful garden I've ever seen !
Stephanie Murray isn’t it extraordinary? Thrilled to visit!
@@quintessenceblg I must say how impressed I am at your by your response delay ! considering how important you channel is ! Yes this garden was creepilly how my own garden, the one I keep in my head until it becomes reality ! I hope that I have time to see it come to fruition but meanwhile you are there to help us through ! best wishes Stephanie
@@TheFiown Delighted to help! 😉 A worthy goal!
Susanna...I like the "additions"! very nice and tastefully done! ; )
I remember the spread that AD (or was it ED?) did of Mr Shapiro's home. You've shown us much more than we got to see in that, so thanks very much!
dhgemein2 Why we never mind showing homes that have been in print - it’s a whole other perspective and you get to see and hear the homeowner!!
Exactly so, +Quintessence. Thanks again!
Fantastic as always! Favourite channel.
Erik with a K Thank you so much!!
Thank you!!
You said it Susanna "magical" . Thank you for bringing it to us.
Kind regards
Kate.
Kate Crowley Thank you Kate! It is indeed a magical house! - Stacey
the detailed wood bench at 1.05 is beyond inspirational I have the bottom part will refurbish into this one. thanks for the idea.
Neha Wasnik You are so welcome! Inspiration is our goal!
What a beautifully aesthetically satisfying house and property. This gentleman has taste in excess! I wish the video had lingered on some of the outstanding African art objects a bit longer. Wonderful Pende stool and Dan masks. It would be such a joy to live in this place. Thanks for the video.
Isn't it?! Richard has a supremely sophisticated and educated eye!! So glad you enjoyed!
This one is fascinating
Glad you enjoyed - Richard is brilliant!
This is my favorite episode ❤️
JS It’s a very special home - so glad you think so too!!
Exquisite! Love his sense of taste!
