- Tag along to the breathtaking countryside in Wales for a behind the scenes visit with interior and textile designer Penny Morrison at her beautiful 18th century country home. Originally built in 1790 with an addition thirty years later, the house hadn’t been touched since 1910 when Penny and her art dealer husband Guy purchased the property. After an 18 month renovation, Penny decorated the house and has continued to update it with her signature spin of chic eclectic color and pattern. Mixing classic English chintzes with Indian, Moroccan and Turkish textiles and rugs as well as her own fabrics, she has created a fearless and yet sublimely comfortable home. With all the main floor rooms having access to the terraces and gardens, it is a house celebrating nature year round. Hear what Penny considers a well decorated room and learn her tips for living with art and how embracing your own style will make your rooms sing. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!

I swear, I could watch this 100 times and never tire of it. It's my absolute favorite. "I hate postage stamp." Me too, darling! Go big or go home. A maximalist after my own heart. Love it!
So happy to read this!! Penny's house is a dream with so many ideas to take away and make your own!
Absolutely agree 💯❤️
Such a gorgeous change from the whites, grays stainless steel and open kitchens of the USA.
Modern homes here feel like a medical building, really miss this comfy cottage look. Wales looks beautiful, many thanks from Texas ❤️
J Huntoon Thank YOU!! And Wales is a delight!
I am with you.
I live in England now in a small terrace house built in the late 1800's. Even if our space is small, the enduring charm of the English country look suits our space so well. It is a look that will never go out of style.
Couldn't agree more!!
My bi-weekly breath of sophistication....Never disappoints.
MoiNature Thank you!!
A house That's a real home.
Yes it is!!!
Great collections of everything has fun a story & lovely host. Thanks for opening your home to us.
"Telling a story is more important than making a room go together." I love it!!
The views out to the fields are my favorite.part of this house.
This home is so beautiful, it can never be duplicated or even replicated. It is made with time. So beautiful.
every time I think of decluttering I just have to watch this and just dust .....totally love this home !!
theuniplex 👍🏻
Me too! It's exciting to see the multiples of colour and textures all of which make me want to dive into that fabric reserve stash in the back room. Yummy.
Me too!
😂
That is the perfect resolve ! Feather dust , Hoover and enjoy the interior view...
OMGosh!! MORE, MORE, MORE! Everywhere I looked I couldn't help but smile. The books! People ask me why I have so many books and why so many are in storage. THIS IS WHY! I will display what I have read and want to read! I wanted a room by room tour!!! GO BACK! Just to let you know I've watched this at least 10 times. THANK YOU.
LOL!! Thanks Regina - so glad you enjoyed! We love books too obviously!
If I lived there, I couldn't be lured away and I'm already a bit of a homebody. I'd be piddling around the garden, reading, meditating, cooking and just being.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 It was very hard to leave!
Living in an early 15th century house in the English countryside - this is so my style! Absolutely fantastic.
All of these bright colors work because she has light, light, light!!
Lots of windows, pictures, books, dogs. Yes, please to all of it.
Right?! Never wanted to leave!
I can't tell you how many times I have watched this video. I love this home! Love it all.....the books, the paintings, the color on the walls, the collections. I don't care what is trending, this look is what I will always love.
Me too! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Penny for showing us your lovely home. The first thing I noticed was that lovely rug in the hallway, I love the colour of the walls in the hallway and in the sittingroom, and the fabric print that you designed is just gorgeous. Most of all, I love your animals, hens and peacocks, but especially your dogs. God bless you my dear.
I love her fearlessness of mixing patterns and textures!! Inspiring.
We do too!!
she puts it all perfectly when she says to just go in a shop, buy what you like and then don't worry about where you will place it, because it will blend.
And how much all this could cost? We just gave away the similar chairs and couches and bought the contemporary looking furniture. But the countryside is beautiful!
Simply lovely. I miss this style in design. It is real and comfortable. It embraces the love of a full life, nothing sterile and over thought here!
Totally agree!
Nice of you to add - Penny's house I find is not totally traditional however!
Penny Morrison is my spirit animal! Her home is my dream! Chickens on the patio? yes please! Cats and dogs everywhere? yes please! Pease make longer videos Susanna! 9 minutes is not enough.
Wendy Panozzo will do our best please stay tuned!!
Dreamy indeed - glad you enjoyed!
Just FABULOUS!!! Nothing dreary, just happy and sunny!
Penny, Penny, Penny, has created one of the COMFIEST-looking homes I've seen! I mean, the chairs and sofas look like they would suck you in and never wanna let you go! Sooooo dang COMFY!!!!! :)
Montgomery Cam Jr it is!! And I DIDN’T want to leave!
Montgomery Cam, was that a nod to Penny, the much-beloved character on Big Bang Theory, I hope??? Both Pennys are great. I think of it more like, "Penny!! (Knock-knock.) Penny!! (Knock-knock.) PENNY!! (Bam! Bam!)" Thanks for the humor & smiles, Montgomery
I am in love with this house and Penny Morrison's style!
Cynthia Esqueda we are too!
Beatiful and cozy home, full of color and textures, she is an artist for this unique mixing. The house of my dreams. thanks for sharing!
I could just move in my suitcases and live with her the rest of my life. She has such an amazing outlook, style and her love for animals makes me happy. The colors and paintings are so inspiring! And when she says to buy something you like and not worry about where it will go because when you get home you will find a place for it, she knows how to hug my soul. She makes me want to put a pot of tea on and watch the video a second time.. Thank you Susanna and Stacey, again for transporting us into a beautiful home and countryside that takes your breath away!!
Amy Hoffmann Our pleasure Amy!! Penny’s house is a true testament of personal style - so glad you enjoyed!
And I forgot to say Thank You to Penny Morrison. I love all your "pattuns"...You women are all so fabulous. Thank you for the inspiration.
Crow Quill Tarot Thank YOU!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Every room is breathtaking. The art collection alone is magnificent but I LOVE how the gilded frames just dance in the colors of the greens, pinks, raspberries and yellows. Absolutely stunning. The ottoman is perfect! The whole estate and grounds--perfect! You would think this took a lot of effort, yet it somehow looks effortless and more importantly, loved. She seems so sweet and genuine-the kind of person you would just want to sit and visit with for hours. 😊.
It is the most glorious and welcoming home, as is Penny! And yes, a testament to her that it feels effortless!
Quintessence I’m obsessed with the blush-colored room. And the armoire full of hats! I wonder if she needs a hired hand to shepherd her sheep...I could bring my collies. 😉
What makes this house beautiful is that the owner loves.
I like the gentle pink in the Drawing room.
This is the most underrated channel. 💗
Katharine Santana Well thank you!! We have over 50k subscribers - hope you are one!!
Quintessence, wouldn't miss an episode!
So much to love about this home. The people, pets, colors, light, fabrics, art, books, plants; it's all lovely, cozy and fresh. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Our pleasure - Penny's home is indeed a delight!
This lady’s home is art. She is an artist. The 2 Labradors are beautiful!!!!! The chickens 🐓 adorable 😍
And what are those two birds running through the garden? Emus? I want some.
At home with designers and their dogs is a WONDERFUL book !!
Thank you and we feature Penny and her dogs in our new UK version out in March: At Home in the English Countryside!
@@susannasalk7153 Thank you I always listen for book suggestions, my collection of interiors books is boundless and gives me so much pleasure. I will add yours to my next list ! I am watching this video for the second time, can't get enough ! Thank you girls xoxo
@@TheFiown :third, fourth, pause, replay, fifth, etc....
@@crowquilltarot Thank you, that allowed me to see it again! I sent the link to a friend and she said 'oh my god its so you! ', I can but dream ! There is Nothing about or in this house that I do not like ! xo
@@TheFiown :I agree! Could we please go back again and see more and stay longer?!
This isn't my style at all but I absolutely love it. With a wave of her hand she generously suggests you just buy any old thing that takes your fancy and find a place to stick it when you get back but, of course, she is extremely brilliantly talented to make this work so superbly. You cannot see it's been designed, but it's actually meticulous. It's a real home, not a showpiece and it's incredibly inviting, happy and welcoming. If you didn't get it already, the guestbook at the end tells you this is the home of warm thoughtful generous people who love other people.
So well said and all true!! It was a joy to share!
A lovely , homey house, and that piano is spectacular.
I love the way she said "I want my home to look like a older lived in home" . That is what I want, to feel comfortable and like you would want to lay down by the fire with a good book and a nice glass of wine or tea and settle in❤️.
Yeah like it's been inherited from great grandparents
I love, love, love this country home....great comfortable interior design 💕💕💕
Lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Magnifique. Comme toujours 😚
Merci!!
I'm in tears now. Tears. This is so lovely; I want to move right in...I'm so glad no one convinced me to repaint my green walls. My little cottage in northern Michigan is chock full of a lifetime of finds and color everywhere...no one here seems to understand my aesthetic. People always say I have too many lamps. Too many lamps?! Is that an oxymoron? My Mother used to say I had a rug problem and needed to learn to "just say no to rugs..." BUT WHY?! You validate my concept of beauty and it makes me JUST SO DARN HAPPY watching these videos. You validate my life (just kidding. sort of.) THANK YOU! I'm going back to painting now...
Crow Quill Tarot Thank you so much!! Delighted to hear and don’t listen to those naysayers - you stay true to your own style!!
Stay true to your voice and don’t listen to the naysayers!!
Well said! What a lovely place to live. It reminds me of my childhood. (In Michigan.)
You can NEVER have too many lamps!!!
You can’t have to many lamps or mirrors.
'nothing has to match'.....perfection.
I love these visits to magical places. Please post more so we can live live vicariously through the lense of your eyes.
We post one every month - so glad you enjoy!!
How beautiful. Penny is such an inspiration. Total #lifegoal :)
Ignacio Martínez Argüello Couldn’t agree more!!!
The dreamiest of countryside locales! The trees! And views! And chickens on sofas! Madcap Color-bomb Ubër Chic! Thank you Penny! I’m so satiated + happy after seeing this - and the world needs more of your lampshades - they are the best
Jill Sharp Weeks Not surprised you loved as much as we did!! #birdsofafeather
Just amazing!
Penny has such a unique way of mixing and matching colors, and patterns. And I also love the fact that she has her own textile room for putting together her own fabrics. Her home is so beautiful, and that garden is to die for! A lovely acreage that's prefect for animals to graze at peace. Lovely home tour as usual!
Thank you - it was such a delight to finally visit Penny!
Oh my! Penny has created a peaceful but fun haven. If I ever were to be a guest and signed her book I would make sure to behave so well and inserted the appropriate amount of humour to our conversation to insure another invitation to visit. I would be asking her the stories that went along with her collectables. Bravo Penny!
One of my all time favorite houses - was a dream to stay there!
When I first started listening what struck me were your lampshades,especially the hot pink. Love your surprises
very charming!!!!
Resonating`~~~ Deeply! soooo Lovely!!!!! Thank You for sharing`~~~ PURE JOY!
Would I ever like to visit that home!!! It is fabulous! I am in sink with her thoughts on decorating. The drive to the house is so enchanting. Love the colors-I do a lot of color. Love it.
This I loved.
What a perfectly *delicious* house!!❤️
Nanci Ring Perfectly said!!
"... telling a story is more important than making your room all together..." Agree!
I had no idea before watching this episode that what to do with my old pretty sarees which I dont wear anymore,but now thanks to Mrs.penny Morrison.now I know exactly how to encoporate them beautiful in my home.
Delighted to hear that!! We love when our viewers get inspired by the talented designers we feature!
I love the books, treasures, paintings, animals, countryside & THIS INTERVIEW❤️❤️😍🎶🤗
Ruthann Citron Thank you!! And we love all those things too!
So charming the interior of this delightful enchanting home...interesting how the grounds/gardens were well manicured in contrast to the eclectic home decor. I LoVe it! Thanks for taking us all on the tour!
Our pleasure!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT TREASURES FROM FABRIKS!!!HATS FOR LIGHTS!!!!!!!I LOVE TOO THE LAMPS AND THE BLUE COLOR, I AM JEALOUS I CONFENSE IT!!!
The most fabulous home I love it all. Hens, dogs, colour, prints. You name it, Penny has it. This is true English style. Collect , collect , collect , add a few more books, layers and layers of brave and wonderful choices. She even has an Odd Company old English rocker! 🇬🇧 Eclectic, eccentric, more of this please. I could listen to this all day. Thank you.
Thank YOU!! So glad you loved too!
Gorgeous home. Great style philosophy.
I cant look at fat women.
Love the relax quirkiness of the house.
This is my dream decor. I love everything in this home.
As soon as the video started I loved what I saw... Three and a half minutes in I'm already commenting it gets even better x
Well thank you - so very glad you’re enjoying Penny’s beautiful home!!
I think curating things from travels and special shopping adventures, added to sentimental family heirlooms make a house feel more like a home and less like what I call “a Pottery Barn house” where it looks generic as if you plucked everything straight out of the same catalog. I, too, like the stories and memories associated with my eclectic treasures I’ve accumulated over the years. However, I do prefer a much calmer, muted aesthetic without as much going on visually. But I think it’s wonderful she derives such pleasure from having all of her wonderful bits and pieces surrounding her along with the bright, vivid patterns and colors everywhere. I can appreciate the beauty in things that aren’t necessarily my style. Thank goodness we are all so different, otherwise, how boring the world would be! Thanks for another lovely video... and always made more enjoyable with footage of the pups! 😊🐶😁🐩🥰
Our pleasure - and that's exactly right!! Everyone has different style - it's all about telling your story and making it your own! So glad you enjoyed!
Wow, I adore her home! I'm also in love with that pattern that she had rolled up!
You managed to thrill us once again! What a beautiful country home!
Elle J 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice to see the dogs enjoying the comfort of the armchairs - a proper home.
While the home's decor isn't at all to my taste, I certainly do appreciate how cozy, lived-in, and colorful it displays. It shows her personality for sure.
Magnifique.... only in my DREAMS
To me, all the treasures in Penny's home represent a map of her life. I love that she surrounds herself with things that bring her joy and validate a life worth living.
What impresses me is after having had a tour of her home, I am left with an impression of who actually lives there. I find nowadays, so many people's places all
look the same and with what I would call, cookie cutter decorating. Who wants to live in a home where everything matches and looks like it was all purchased on
the same day at the same store--including the book jacket on the coffee table. No thanks! You have a lovely home, Penny, and certainly one that is loved.
Best regards,
Darryl
@50Street21, You said it. I got bombed with negative comments after visiting the Architectural Digest channel. I wondered aloud where the personal effects were that to me, makes a house a home. My observation was not, to put it lightly, received well. My response was to quit watching theirs and start watching Quintessence, where I have been happy and cozy ever since.
Just a really lovely and well cared for home. Such wonderful taste. I find a home filled with stuff you have collected so inspiring. A home empty is a life that has been empty.
What a amazing place it is just a beautiful home l keep saying this channel is just one of my favorite channel on RUclips l look forward to each video ... A BIG thank you to everyone that works edit for this amazing channel
Raymond F Thank you so much Raymond!! It’s just the two of us - Susanna in front of the camera and me behind and in the editing room! - Stacey
Our complete pleasure! Thank you for watching and please stay tuned
A very beautiful, lived-in house! Thank you!
I LOVE HER DESIGN, especially the many paintings. The dining room featuring North African paintings! WOW! I LOVE IT!
So glad you loved visiting Penny’s beautiful home!
This even after many months is truly a delight to watch.
I still think about my visit here - just spectacular!
Beautiful, so serene and "homey".
Lush textiles! Look so lovely together!!!
This is this the life!
She is my spirit animal!!! The rich bohemian style .
Love this home! Love Penny’s style!!!
This is the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen. Where comfort and exquisite taste meets through out. Absolute pure aesthetic, layer upon layer of interest. Penny obviously has a beautiful nature which echoes in her home/life/interiors. Love this home. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🤩
Our pleasure!! One of my very favorites - such a huge treat to stay there!
Every video of yours just keeps knocking it out of the park. There are so many Elle Decor and AD houses to see online, just an overload of Studio McGee etc. They are not my taste and I get frustrated trying to find interiors that appeal to me, which when it comes to magazines are usually to be found in the pages of World of Interiors and nowhere else. What I love is these exact sorts of places, the ones that you showcase so well. The ones with grandeur, drama, history, eccentricity, period details of architectural interest and that indefinable quality that is always brought to a home entirely due to the owners collections and idiosyncratic tastes. I wish you could get a peek into Ian McEwan's country pile! From the outside it is breathtaking. Houses with almost theatrical atmospheres-- more more more please :D And for others reading this, if you are not familiar with Ruth's now defunct blog 'Bible of British Taste' please do check it out. Thanks again for this video, I've watched it many times! :) Also, Ms Morrison is a masterclass and a mystery at the same time: just look at that EXTRAORDINARY sense of proportion and balance in every single room; all those materials, patterns, lamps and tables etc, yet nothing dominates and clashes. Perfection.
Thank you so much for your marvelously articulate and praiseworthy comment! So very glad you enjoy the series - we love all you specified, especially layered lived-in homes that reflect the talent and personality of the owners. And Penny's is that in spades with the added bonus of a spectacular location. Loved Ruth's blog and follow her now on Instagram. Thank you again and stay tuned!
So well put and so pleased you “get” our series thank you for watching and stay tuned please!!
That collection of green serving dishes on a shelf has me *swooning*. I am in love! Another fantastic video, thank you so much!
Thank YOU - so glad you enjoyed!!
Everything is brought together with such vivid colours..down to the flowers on the table..not matching but flowing...beautiful home with layers of imagination.
I love everything in her house it’s me totally😍
Oh I feel like I died and went to heaven watching this!!! Just PERFECT, Penny!!!!!
So glad you loved as much as we did!!
Oh my god girls I have been waiting like a silly for this next video for almost 2 weeks now. But thank you anyway....Plus I would like to confess that to me that's the most beautiful piece of fabric I have ever seen in my life.
Gorgeous views from those comfortable chairs you can plop yourself in and read.
Watching this video was like watching my dreams come to life ... all is my idea of perfection ... the grounds, the art, the animals, the seclusion, the decor, the fabrics, the books ... Everything Single Thing Makes My Heart Sing ❣❣❣
I can totally understand that - it is so very beautiful!
Putting colours together is an art in its self.
carol hodson so true!!
luxuriously delightful
You are the best you have on RUclips
Vitaliy Dorokhov Thank you so much!!
Happy 2020 thanks, love this home, the painting, the dogs and style, 🌼🌸🌹🌻🌼🌼🌸🌸
Glad to see your video back. Thank you for your wonderful effort
We publish a video every month - you can check recent uploads to make sure you haven't missed a thing!
Very nice, colourful, not only those white sofas, we have dogs too, and it is better when they are in colours. And such a lovely garden! The house is also not a " show" house, it is lived in, like oures, and the Lady goes to fleamarkets and anticstores and displays her treasures!
Karin Ramey Yes! So glad you enjoyed!
Penny, please write a book about this house with millions of photos of every nook and cranny.
Amy Virginia Great suggestion!
I loved loved loved this home. Selfishly I would have like to see more of it. Thank you though Quintessence team 😍
Jesse Johnson our pleasure!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Girl you are so lucky. You get to go everywhere all over the world!
What a fabulous countryside to wake up to every single day. The owner is so modest about her beautiful home. It's warm and homey feeling makes you want to cuddle up on the sofa. Who wouldn't feel comfortable there? Like so many people with large houses, only a few rooms are actually used.
Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure! We do feel lucky to be able to visit so many amazing homes! And Penny actually uses all of the rooms in her house daily - except for the guest bedrooms of course!
@@quintessenceblg oh, thank you for explaining. Penny's home was really lovely and joyful. She seemed like a warm and modest person. Thank you for welcoming us and sharing!
@@christineribone9351 My pleasure and she is!!
Love this home!
Can you pleeeeeeeeeaz upload more???!!! I am so tired of the youngsters and their same home they decorated completely from Home Goods. I mean, there’s no challenge with getting everything from Home Goods! Where’s the heart? I see it here in the older gals like me at 51 who do everything based on their own unique experiences.
Tired Lady 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you - more coming every month!!
Good God, I'm older than you and I never call myself an "older gal", I guess age is a state of mind. I forget that I'm "older" than what? Twenty? And "gal" is a little too grab your partner do-si-do for me. I decorated based on my own experiences back when I was a "young gal" and still love antiques AND love me some Home Goods so ... yeah. Wow.
Yayyy!!!!!!!
Oh! to live in a house like this, simply stunning! ❤️
