I love Jeffery’s passion for history and his respect for being an American🇺🇸❤️
Amy Bedrosian We do too! So glad you enjoyed!
There is nothing like a older historical home, just the feeling of them, you can not put into words, it effects you all the way to your soul. The ambiance is just lovely, so aesthetically pleasing .God bless
Agreed. I'll take an older, historic home, over these newer sleek modern homes any day.
MaryEllen Bailey, I have never heard that old house sentiment said so well. Absolutely, one either feels the gravity of that home's very soul & feels it reflected right back inside one's OWN soul, or they simply don't get it & never will.
I love the use of color and form in this house. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful home, Jeffrey Bilhuber. And, thank you, Susanna, for another wonderful look at a great designer's work.
Can you imagine the energy that was generated by this man to take on this chore? Albeit a chore of love. The results are lovely. Great restoration.
Totally agree!! Amazing job!
I love the way he decorated this beautiful home. I’m so happy there is no modern sculptures or modern art inside or outside .
I think, there is a big modern drawing above the sofa, on which Susanna is sitting. Union jack cushion beside her, pea-green wall . The faun with his horns could be drawn by Cocteau or Picasso... No? Nevertheless it is not disturbing the atmosphere at all... :--))
Wow. A completely original home. Now I want to fly to NY and start driving around to see if I can find. The backstory of the house is just as interesting as what Jeffrey has done to it. It’s fabulous!
Deette Kearns Agreed!!
What a charming custodian of this lovely old American home.
Kristy Johnson Couldn’t agree more!
Sweet man, sweet little boy, sweet home (or should I say "home sweet home"),
Cindy 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jeffrey is crazy wonderful. I love the way he is so very self assured in his decorating ❤️
I totally agree!
You are the perfect person to interview these Brilliant mind's you bring to us.
Magdalena Bernadette thank you!! I feel privileged to do so
Yes, they are.
I wish I could visit this home in person. What a wonderful sense of style which feels both historical and yet cozy and welcoming. Bravo!
Linda Michaels Yes, we feel lucky to have visited - such a great American house!
OMG ! What to say ?? This house is a " Live History Book " filled with stories, colors, art, along with hand made practical art (lamp shades). Love the idea of naming the rooms (names on the doors). It is warm and cozy a place where you can live in as you learn from the past and its history. Well done ! As usual, my thanks for sharing a wonderful place filled with meanings - My deepest appreciation - Rosalind.
Rosalind Hambleton Thank you for such insightful viewing and comments!
Rosalind Hambleton And thank YOU Rosalind for taking the time to leave such attentive comments!
When he said 'probably where I'm going to end up" and laughed, I officially fell in love with him. What a great sense of humor.
radicalaccounting Jeffrey has a great sense of humor!
This man is so knowledgeable and charming, I’d love to sit down for drinks with him and hear about this home for hours. I want to hear him go on and on and on

Amazing! The love he has for this is house is contagious! I love everything about the home and the story behind it! Wonderful, Jeffery!
Oh such a beautiful home. I could wander through there for hours, checking everything out. TFS
It is indeed - so many glorious details!
Perfect update for this beautiful Sunday. These videos are always so therapeutic. Very lovely home, and I love the mustard yellow/green colored walls. Love that bookshelf and office.
th3azscorpio 👍🏻🙏🏻
A real house with a history and a soul. Love it!
cynthia Smith Exactly!! Glad you liked!
Love this house. My home is late 1700's and on the National Historic Register. I bought it and thankfully it was not modernized. These historic houses cannot be duplicated. They are one of a kind. And although I would love a fab modern kitchen, I keep the 1940's cabinets that were built onsite. I just don't have the heart to remove them.
It's a beauty! As I'm sure yours is!
What a fascinating house, and owner. The sort of place you could spend hours in. Such a sensitive and richly textured renovation. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Jeffrey is not only a talented designer but has a rich knowledge of history and the decorative arts - a perfect owner for this historic home!
Seeing this, I had to look-up Jeffrey Bilhuber, and see that he's prominent in the world of interior design. I love the peach ceiling he did in Seattle: which must make that a wonderfully flattering room in which to be seen.
Bunny Biedenharn Yes, Jeffrey is a top designer - glad we could introduce him to you!
This is my dream house, the walls the furniture the lovely setting. Thank you for sharing this marvelous home.
It is stunning and now on the market - it could be yours! 😉
Once more a Beautiful home with a interesting person I just love love this channel... the people the homes are just amazing I look forward to each video keep up the great/ amazing job
Raymond F Thank you so much Raymond!!
The creeks in the floorboards and the green on that wall! 😍
I had a life before and after I discovered you!
Your videos have become my point of reference.
Thank you Franz! We are honored!
Very passionate job have done in this house. Special thanks to whom who did and show us that masterpiece.
A true expression of one personality. I admire your free spirit
Amazing. This is my type of home: cozy, comfortable, welcoming but with elegant timeless style.
Vintage Kitty Exactly! So glad you loved it too!
Wonderful. Historic house well refurbished.
JR Snyder Jr Agreed! Glad you enjoyed!
How gooooohggggeusss! My kind of living space!💝 I mean, carefully arranged clutter with unparalleled sense of historical value! And... MAIDENHAIR FERN!😍 Abe Lincoln portraits made me melt, and when he said that the climbing hidrangea wallpaper "wanted to live there" wow! I want to meet and fall in love with a man like'im, I mean, his son's playroom! I'm aghast in the best possible sense of the WORD mi Lawwwwhd! I know, I'm misbehaving but this house is like a Marie Antoinette cupcake and tartelette table dream!💖🙊
Saved to my real estate playlist fur soooore!😎👍
I can't believe he's selling what so clearly was a labor of love! This was a very special video tour. Thank you
Yes and thank you - so glad you enjoyed!
So much passion and thought put into this beautiful home
We agree!
Can't believe I somehow missed this when it came out. What a great rehabilitation! We've lost so much built heritage over the last century or so. People like Mr. Bilhuber should be given medals.
Couldn't agree more!!
Susanna trying the race car game ‘This is like a bad dream…this is relaxing?!?’ 😂 too funny!
😉😉
This channel is amazing and I always look forward to each episode. I am surprised that you are not on national tv. I can watch your channel all day long. It's like therapy for me. Thanks again.
Thank you so much - we are so glad to brighten your day!!
Ms.sweetea E thank you so much!! So glad
I love that Jeffrey Bilhuber incorporated American Presidents into his designs for his 17th century upstate N.Y. home..I get what his meanings for it are, and so true..Our founding fathers did appreciate the european designs when they traveled all over the world..Jefferson was proof he did influence a lot of european designs into his home and Washington DC...Because of that, we can see the european architecture designs in many of the old building and homes in the U.S. around our country..I just love that! I love to bring some of that design into my own home, makes it kinda of unique to me..Even tho I don't always like what every interior designer style..I do appreciate and enjoy seeing what I do love, and can add some of their ideas into my own home...I just love Quintessence home and style RUclips channel, it just makes my day!................P.S. Love the sound of those old creaking wood floors!
The people whose homes you visit are all so happy with their homes. They have created places of beauty and tranquility but also cost and comfortable. All done with love - as you do with each of your films. Thank you. It's so healing watching them.
Thank you!! So glad to be able to share some beauty, talent and serenity in these challenging times!
Oh my! I adore this home. B the colors. All the furnishings. Heavenly.
We do too!! Glad you enjoyed!
I love this home! And when Jeffery was speaking about early ancestors travels and bringing home treasures, he said," They "folded" them into their own houses," I was sold on his style. What a lovely way to put his own design style into words. He "folds" everything into his own house. The gold mirror, crystal and gold candelabra with the crystal lamps on the mantel atop the skirting is so beautiful and interesting! I can see where your talents as an interviewer, comes to play in this house, as there is so much to see Susanna. You really needed to direct the attention to the most important focal points. And his son? The PERFECT addition to fold into his home. He is adorbs! I am always so excited to see you in my notification bell and after watching you and Stacey always giving us insights into magical places I feel so delighted. Thank you both for sharing with us! LOVE IT!
Amy Hoffmann Thank you so much Amy! We especially love viewers like you who appreciate all the nuanced details!
Amy Hoffmann Hi Amy it is our complete pleasure! We’re so glad you love this video and all the treasures in the house and Jeffrey’s “folding”talents
So incredible. Stirs my heart. Every room justcalls to you. This great home thank you for sharing.
wt30001 Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!!
OMG!!!! I've been waiting for another video!! Woohoo!!
tigermoon44 Thank you!! Hope you enjoy!
One of my favorites because he preserved the home's history.
Such an interesting and fun house. Jeffrey's obviously an inveterate collector, who manages to pull it all together in a very stylish way when decorating his house. In a way, the American ethos; bringing influences from all over the world to create an American style - eclecticism perhaps?
Yes - eclectic yet American! Bringing the world home!
Love love love these episodes! Can´t you make them a bit longer or just send me the raw material to drool over for days. Thank you for the inspiration!
Erik with a K LOL!! Thank you Erik (with a k) - so glad you enjoy!
Pure brilliance. I'm a huge fan of Susanna and Stacey. Jeffrey is just a very kind and stylish gentleman.
Joe Bon Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed!!
What a delightful space. My aunt had a similar home in Mt. Vernon, Michigan with an attached general store and I have the fondest childhood memories there. I remember all the trinkets she displayed in her store and there were always wild geese roaming about chasing the customers. I just adore this home , truly unique and inspires great Americana.
One of the best houses we've seen! Thanks so much for this series, really wonderful stuff.
Troy Pittenger Thanks Troy - so glad you enjoy the series! Jeffrey’s home is truly special!
General Sullivan room is the perfect room. Scott from Star Trek, can you beam that room to my home. LOL
CajunLady 🤣🤣 glad you liked!
So much information here I need to re-watch! Fascinating video...thank you for sharing.
HRHPaula Lewis I feel the same and I was there! 😉
I love designers who are so passionate about historical features, and what a little cutie- you can tell the young boy just loves his playroomm
This man's journey his story his style and this lovely large house !!! Wonderful !! What story his detail and color palette every inch is eye candy !!! Thank you for letting us peek !! So enjoyed this !!!!!!
This home is what I dearly miss about the North Shore! Oh...I’m home sick for my bicycle rides from Glen Cove to Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay....
Susanna Salk is just so lovely. She always brings a smile to my face.
Delighted to hear that! Lucky to have her as my video partner - Stacey (behind the camera and the blog)
Thank you! Another wonderful tour, and what an adorable young son!
Fabulous!
Gorgeous home
(Maybe turn on some of the accent lighting before filming... I can't image how gorgeous this would be with it's "jewelry" on!!!)
Another great interview, tour, and home. What a thoughtful steward of history and welcoming host. 👍👌❤🌹
CD 1 perfectly put and so glad you enjoyed!
Oh fabulous Jeffrey Bilhuber!
Such a pleasant interviewer. She is really engaged in the details and the conversation. I'm aiming to become a minimalist but I can appreciate the eclectic look of this home.
Susanna is a great host! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for your wonderful show
Our pleasure!
This is precious!!! That center piece at the table, the concept of home to Mr. Jeffery is amazing!!!
Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Love all the beautiful people and home 🏡 lovely videos bravo 👏
Manoela Liechti 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Plants really are the best way to decorate a home
Beautiful home! Thanks for sharing!😀
I thought a little heavy on the skulls but otherwise wow! And I kept staring at Joanna’s capris! And the little boy, too cute!
Love, love, love!!!
Stacey this is brilliant!!! Love the focus on preservation and stewardship ... that focus is just being lost in the din of DIY/HGTV sadly.
Thank you Nicole!! So glad you appreciated Jeffrey's special attention to his historic home. Would be great if there were some quality design TV for us!
All hosts are friendly and welcoming (the little boy, so nice) and Susanna Salk is beautiful and charming, as always.
Years ago, when I began reading design books, I loved reading and learning about Sister Parish and Albert Hadley. I'm happy Jeffrey referenced Sister. I appreciate that Jeffrey has maintained the history of his home and his family's artifacts and created a uniquely American home. In a world where it seems people copy the design flavor of the day, it's good to see a space that is grounded in something deeper. Thank you Susanna, Quintessence and Jeffrey! I loved the tour!
Cindy M Thank you Cindy!!! This is exactly why we have the series - to give these talented designers and special hones a voice!
Cindy M thank you for such a thoughtful comment!!
Magnificient, my favorite house so far ! How wonderful to be able to enjoy the tour ! thank you
Thank you Stephanie - so glad you enjoyed!
I want to live there. I love love love what he has done with this home.
Joan Jones Don’t blame you - we love it too!
Thank you for sharing. Such a lovely home in a lovely town, Locust Valley. I use to go to the Shoemaker, Mr. Gillroy beneath thePost Office. I also was a Camp Counselor at Friends Academy.
he loves his house. very cute episode.
What a delightful man ... I love his home and his love for it ... Susanna, your hair looks beautiful in a bun :)). I loved the hydrangea wallpaper and frankly the thoughtfulness and joy that he has given to his home and history. If I had to choose one channel to watch from here forth, it would be yours. I love it so much!
Thank you so much!! So glad you are enjoying our channel!
This show makes me smile and drum to the beat.
I love the American vision.
This was fabulous...thanks quintessence for such a wonderful visit
Ann Olsen Thanks so much Ann - glad you enjoyed!
Brand new subscriber and I am catching up on past videos. Great home. I wish these were longer, say 20 minutes or so. Love seeing these beautiful homes and the owners obvious pride and joy in showing them off. I only live in a Manhattan studio but I think it's the most beautiful studio in the city!
Welcome! And thank you for subscribing!! Hope you'll enjoy the breadth of styles we share from around the world! And love that you love where you live!! Enjoy!
AWESOME!!!BEAUTIFUL!!! 💙💜🧡💝💚💛🧡💙💚💜💖💛🧡💟💙
The house is a living museum. Must be one of the oldest buildings in the USA? Wonderful!
One small section of it was built in the 1660s but the main block and another section only date to the 1790s.
bentleyr00d only 1790s......! That’s pretty old for a lot of Europe, let alone the USA! Thank you for clarifying!
More, more, more, Susanna!
Thank you so much to this family for letting us into your unbelievably amazing (so overused, the word, but this is it) home. This is inspiring. You are creating American history as stewards of this place and you encourage my passion for getting excited about my own historical home (rented, not owned, and a studio apartment with excellent bones).
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed visiting Jeffrey's amazing (yes but true) home!
Another beautiful home and gracious home owner. What would I like to see?
More videos!
Georgia Cinq-Mars Wonderful - stay tuned!
A great and quirky home 🏠.
Once again, brilliant. Thank you. Susanna, you are a treasure - love the scene where you're driving in the video game and you exclaim, "is this relaxing?!" Hilarious. These videos are entertaining, educational and so very inspiring. I watch them over and over.
Susan Steadman Thank you so much Susan!! We are thrilled you love the series! - Stacey (behind the camera)
Thank you Susan SO glad you enjoyed!!!!!
Too too too many good things to squeeze into 7 minutes. I feel like I could spend an entire summer here and STILL not fully appreciate all the details. The intricacies of Jeffrey's brilliant work are so inspiring because they seem attainable. You feel invited to try this at home. I, too, am a newly converted skirted table kind of gal. I, too, can push pin notes onto my walls. I, too, can create illusions with architecture on a roll. I could plant a few ferns in clay pots. I could use $1 bandanas as dinner napkins. I can install a trellis over shingles. I mean who even thinks of these things????? Obviously Jeffrey. He is equal parts careful and careless. Careful to think of all the meticulous details and careless of what anyone thinks of it. I am so happy to have watched this video. Thank you Suzanna and Stacey. Bring on the border!!!!!
One of my favorite comments EVER!!! Totally agree with every little morsel you digested! THANK YOU for your attentive and appreciative viewership!
jcrane45585 how you were inspired and how you’ll interpret it into your own life is PRECISELY what makes our work all worthwhile!! So happy by your eloquent and enthusiastic comment!
Remarkable work on this house. Interesting guy.
Couldn’t agree more!
“This is sort of like a bad dream. Is this relaxing?!” 🤣
Ayin07 🤣🤣🤣
I think it's stunning
Wow!! That's a lot to unpack, (literally)! So many, many great ideas! Thanks as always for sharing these amazing spaces and congratulations for reaching 30k subs....I think it should be 3 million as your channel is the best, but I am biased... :) xo W
will mac Aw Will - you are the best! We LOVE having you as one of our ardent fans! And glad you loved this episode - I agree - so many great tips! 🙏🏻😍
will mac ❤️❤️❤️🥂😘
This channel definitely needs more subs. It's one of the better Interior design/decor channels out there.
I love seeing how artists create. 💜
I could move right in! And I ♥️ the trinket shop!
