I love what you said... At this age, you just want to be surrounded by the things you love when you're home. I've been saying the same thing... At this age, I just want to be surrounded by the people and things I love. I enjoy being around people like you and Susanna. Lovely home.💖🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
I picked up on that too! ‘And a lot of it.’ Thanks as always,
Susanna. Love the Libertine shirts!
@@maryf6284 aren’t they fun?! Johnson’s energy and creativity is infectious! So glad you felt it too! - Stacey (behind the camera and the comments)
I totally agree! I just love this ❤️
@@jackiethomas3847 Thank you!!
I have so much to say about this episode! He's so right. Being at home, working from home for almost 2 years, my creativity has exploded. It's so nice to walk into a home that's not all white and neutral colors. I'm stealing so many ideas from this colorful home. I've become obsessed with Schumacher! When being a basket case actually adds peace to your life. They're wearing the same print, but who wore it better? Susanna wore it better. Sorry love, but you can't beat a colorful floral pattern with a crisp white pant! 😘
LOL!! And yes, SO many great ideas!
It’s unique for him but I find it a little to much I just couldn’t focus on anything it became overwhelming in the end I had to abandon watching .The different strokes for different folks .🧠🧐
@@dorothydamons5795 It's not for everyone, in fact, it's not for most people. I appreciate his self expression with color and his home is a feast for the eyes. But APPRECIATE, doesn't necessarily mean I want to REPLICATE it for my own home. 😊
He's utterly and complely himself, and it is incredibly refreshing! What a creative and beautiful home, love it 🙂 He has the spirit and fun of a child, beautiful.
Johnson's the best!
"I wanted to be surrounded by the things that I love -- and a lot of it!" "Basket-case design." I love Johnson's exuberant and humourous approach to interior design. His intuitive understanding of layering is phenomenal.
We do too! Glad you enjoyed!
The way he had the painter continue the trees up to the ceiling in his bedroom is stunning. Love that idea! The wallpapers in both of the bedrooms are beautiful. Another great video. Thank you!
Agreed! and thank you - so glad you enjoyed!
I wonder WHO that painter is?i love those trees up to the ceiling!
The moment at 8:15 with the drapes, the bedding, his shirt, and your jacket. It was a little like designer camouflage. 😄
LOL!
Wauw these colors pop🤩 this is what is meant, thinking outside the box😍
I love the way Susanna always enthusiastically dovetails her design knowledge conversationally into the visits to bridge the gap between the property and its complexities, and the viewer. Here she has a cool mindmeld with Johnson.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you feel that way
Got to be my favorite episode. The dialogue was wonderfully entertaining with too many great quotes from both of you to list.
Delighted to hear it!!
I think my house might be transformed after watching this.....for years I’ve put things I love away in closets, drawers, boxes and attics. Time to start bringing them all out and enjoying them, no more matchy-matchy for me after seeing this glorious explosion of creativity. Channeling Mr Hartig, and Sister Parish.......maybe without the acid, but hopefully with style! Love!
Wow! I love how Johnson is so fearless with use of color and patterns. His home is the total antithesis (sp) of the white on white trend. I find this much more interesting. "The basket house"....I love baskets, too. Hanging them on the ceiling is very smart. Thank you for another fun and fascinating house tour! :)
Our pleasure!! So glad you love it too!
The " dot com" @1:57 literally made me snort with laughter. Johnson seems like such a fun, funny guy
He IS!!
“ Sister Parish on acid. “ Oh my what a joyful, explosion of color and creativity in one fabulous home. I love your matching outfits. What a fun visit! Thank you so much Susanna , Jason and Stacey. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Our pleasure!! So glad you enjoyed!
I mean...wow! My eyes hurt and I'm exhausted! I love his whimsy. Not for me but to each their own and I celebrate it!
What a feast for the eyes! You can re-watch this episode and find new things to look at every time.I just his fearlessness with color and print. He is absolutely right about surrounding yourself with who and what you love!
Couldn't agree more - even I need to rewatch!!
Watched it twice and going in for a third time💙
@@shelleyimmel8067 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, I wanted to see more - I wish this episode was longer!
@@cellison9414 Well thank you and it was even one of our longer ones!!
The "STOP" sign in the green sitting room is a reminder to not just walk by but to sit down! Love all the bold colours and the trees in the bedroom. The wisteria is a dream. Also love the tiles! The dogs are perfect for that home. Fun and creative cottage-like home! Love it.
So glad you loved!
that caught my eye too....it can mean anything.
@@deborahgalvan5367 Ditto. My eyes locked in on the Stop piece as well.
The STOP sign should tell Johnson something... like stop the madness! Yeah, the colors - not enough Pantone colors in his palette.
Fantastic! So fun! Uplifting! 👍🥰
So glad you loved!
the person introducing us to the house matches the house perfectly. Sweet charming lovable quirky and sophisticated - terrific example of pure expression of one’s self via their home.
What a Fun Inspired collection. He is Bold & Unafraid to Mix & Match!!!💜
Johnson’s fearless, and I love it.
We love it (and him) too!
The thumbnail doesn't do this place justice. This house is so fun as is the owner. I died laughing when he was smooching his dog and forgot you were there.
There's no way to pack this inspiring home in a thumbnail!! But glad you enjoyed!
Wonderful fun use of colors and patterns. It’s what life is all about. Enjoy where you live and express yourself.
Love it, love it...but the dusting!
I doubt that he does his own :P
Love it, love him, love you, so personal and unique x
We do too!
I love visiting places like this! It's not my aesthetic, but it is so much fun!
"I wanted the house to feel like I feel when I'm in somewhere exotic and sensual, like Marrakesh in a small designer hotel. I thought, 'Why can't I feel that way every day of my life?'"
I love it!! Johnson has figured it out!!
The best homes are the ones which are fearlessly decorated! Your guests do this so well. I loved his home and his personality!!
Of all the designers and such you have interviewed in your vlogs, I love Johnson the most. Everything about him is perfect! I know I would feel so comfortable in his home!
Johnson is one of a kind!! We love him too!
I enjoyed their chemistry together - maybe they are faking it for the screen - but I got the vibe that two friends were having fun together touring a beloved home; that’s always enjoyable to witness.
They were most definitely not faking it!! They WERE having fun! As was I!
We definitely weren’t faking our rapport and friendship!
Oh my God . I admired both the man and his house. Let it sit happily in that special beauty.🍀
YES!!!
Oh my! I’d be agitated all day long! Love to see it, could never live in it! Lol! But I love these videos immensely. Always fun. Thanks, Susanna
It takes SO much work to look that casual. Love it. He lives the way I would if I had the guts and cash...
8:28
Fabric. Curtains. Shirt. Blazer.
You all are DIVINE.
🥰😍♥️😍🥰!!!!
He is a gorgeous spirit. Thank you. This video made my Saturday. Your show & you are the best!!!!!
🎯
Nothing is serious but everything looks so beautiful... Thank you so much!!!
Good to know I’m not the only one who still uses Xerox as a verb
Agreed!!!!
LOL you are not alone!
What a creative feast! Delightful. Thanks for sharing your visit💮
Completely wonderful in every way. I am so charmed by Johnson. Just wanna give him a big hug!
We love him too!
Be still my heart. Please forward qualifications for adoption; I wish to be his grandmother. Is my room ready? (I'm also up at 5, nap 10-11.) Johnson, don't ever let me hear you apologize for being meta again...My first home in Detroit looked kinda like this in 1975; friend's named it Tchochke City. I don't wish your decorative painter any ill will, Johnson, but I'd like that job, please. This video is too short...but I'm grateful none the less.
LOL!! So glad you loved!
Whimsical home very creative and free. I am inspired.
I love this place - the eye is constantly entertained! what a wonderful place!
Oh kill me now. I am having a very strong and loving reaction to this man's genius. One of my favourite episodes.
Love love love JH's style!!!
He has expressed himself so beautifully with rainbow of colours😊
Agreed!
OMG! I’m
Dying! This house is a whirlwind of colors, patterns, textures! It’s so whimsical and he’s a gem! Love it!
SO glad - we love Johnson too!
What a fabulous, eccentric soul! I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed this episode!!
Delighted to hear it!!
What an awesome home - he's brilliant! Thanks Quintessence! I adore this channel!
I love his outfit. It's iconic. 💘
Beautiful home. The shirts are great! The dogs! 💜 ♥️ ❤️ Thanks again for a great Saturday morning!
Our pleasure!
Oh, happy day, new Quintessence!! I ❤️ what Johnson said about thinking like a garden - so brilliant!!
👍🏻
I want him to teach me how to be BOLD. Absolutely beautiful.
I LOVED this, Johnson is such a creative genius. I felt like I was with friends watching this. Love these 2 together ☺
He is!! And I love his rapport with Susanna too!! Such fun!
@@quintessenceblg Awesome job with the filming too Stacey, you have a really good eye. There's so much going on in Johnson's house I wouldn't know what to focus on 😃
@@carlyh6913 Thanks Carly!! I had to really stay focused! 😉
I’m so glad I discovered the word maximalism to help validate putting things you love around you, and celebrating walls instead of white washing them into oblivion. That little guest room is a sumptuous womb.
Everything💕 and the outside makes it seem like an enchanted cave
No wonder he takes a nap each day, he needs to rest his creativity. Walking through his home with you was a delight and his sense of color and fun is an inspiration to think out of the box! Love your coordinating jacket, Susanna. Thank you for sharing!
Exactly!! And aren't the matching outfits fun?!
The red Queen Anne Chinois dining chairs were made by my family's furniture company, Brunovan, in the late 50s / early 60s. It was so exciting to spot them in a Quintessence video!
The exterior of his home is just everything !
I love Johnson even more, after his comment about purchasing the house in five minutes because of the forty year old wisteria! Respect for Nature and it’s splendour.
Susannah, thank you for lifting inspiration and conversation off the two dimensional level, here on the tube! Johnson, “Basket Case” … sheer brilliance!
The scenes in this video were so playfully done with each room steering the conversation with funny lines. If you want to forget the ills of the world just keep watching this … 💖
The perfect way to start the day.
Thanks!
I love the fact that this house is decorated with flower everywhere! It is so bright!
That was SO cute. They're dressed in identical shirts, each holding a dog. His place is like the adult version of being a kid in a candy store. I agree with SS when she said, "What more does one need?"
🌺💙Johnson! I'm constantly mesmerized by your creativity! This sort of punk rock tickled Renaissance mashup is so cozy, interesting, freaking gorgeous, and joyful. I would never grow bored with this! Thank you for the analogy of decorating and gardening.... It absolutely is constantly developing! Susanna and Stacey thank you again for such a stunning home tour with your satisfying videography and playful conversation! ❤️
A madcap explosion 💥 of creative expression. He said so many brilliant statements “Sister Parrish on acid” true.
In this tour I wanted to just giggle, everywhere your eye lands is worth a moment.
It’s truly his experimental laboratory.
What a delight to have a peek.
Yes!! So glad you loved!
Well said. I thought I was the only one giggling haha. When Susanna said you went out of control in one of the rooms, he responded " I did". I just burst out laughing. Love, love this guy and his place.
@@GuilfordGardenCT 👍🏻👍🏻😉
@@quintessenceblg Susanna, is this the Stacey that wrote garden at first lights and the other garden book? I mean the one filming?
@@GuilfordGardenCT no I am Stacey (aka Quintessence) - I am behind the camera and write the blog. Stacy Bass wrote the garden books and happens to be a friend!
I love it too. The layering of the pictures on top of the wall paper in the bathroom. What an excellent idea! Love the basket house!🙏. The pandemic was not all doom and gloom. The planet earth needed a pause, a breath 🌍 . Of course, we are saddened by sooo much loss.
The interior is too much fun, but I also LOVE the plain black exterior, which is the perfect backdrop to all the climbing greenery. Divine!
He painted the railing in the stairway, how cool! I am so doing that in my own house now!
Go for it!!
Love that toile! He is soooo fun! I would love to see more of his lush gardens! I have so much more to say but others said it so well in comments below!
He IS so fun!
Nice collection of Staffordshire dogs. 👍
"Sister Parrish on acid." Good description, your painter, "do I dare answer," yes, likes a challenge. Lots of energy and personality.
Unapologetic design chaos and I love it! Your matching shirts were just the cherry. I miss my friend (rip) who reminds me so much of Jonathon, bold, innovative and fearless! Much to be learned and inspired from such genius eyes. Thank you S&S for yet another treasure trove of creativity xxx
Sorry, Johnson, my bad! X
Our pleasure!! So glad you enjoyed Johnson's fearless creativity!
Stunning!! I feel like I’ll have to rewatch in short bursts so I can really absorb it!!❤️
Yes - me too!
What an awesome hone, every wall, corner,ceiling tells a story! What I love that it a work in progress, thank you for the Saturday morning eye candy👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️. Have to back and watch it again 🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️
Enjoy!! Lots to look at!
Wow i love his place. It works so well together
It's amazing isn't it?!
The house is fabulous... the creativity is rambling on and on and on... can not get enough of his bravery, and confidence in his designing.. love❤
Well now Johnson has my vote for layer upon layer..following so many options and blending them perfectly..it may not be to everyone’s liking but for me it works..what a beautiful energy Johnson has..such a generous of spirit..
We agree!! So glad you enjoyed!
Johnson cracked me up when he said that he just noticed the price tag from the auction on the mirror. I've been buying and decorating from auctions for a couple of years and it's such decorating fun. I've gotten classic and very expensive pieces for pennies because often people like buying cheap from Ikea.
And it's the ultimate form of recycling!
@@quintessenceblg Oh absolutely it is. AND I've picked up inexpensive quality little tables, refinished them, then flipped them when I get new pieces that I like better or to make some extra money. I recently finished an upholstery course and have been reupholstering and refinishing chairs in awesome colors. Johnson mentioned Amazon for fabrics, but I also love picking up wonderful fabrics on Etsy. I also grab boxes of vintage fabrics, napkins, table cloths, etc. at my favorite online auctions. Oh...and pictures. Geez...I'd better stop or I'll go on and on and I need to go finish decorating for Christmas with the HUGE box of vintage mercury glass ornaments that I recently picked up for $5
@@EnfinLibreNM LOL but amazing - love all your creative up cycling !! Good luck with your Christmas decorating and happy holidays!
Just absolutely and sweetly harmonious surprisingly enough with all the overlay colours and patterns.
As soon as I see a Quintessence notification I know I’m going to see a home overflowing with gorgeousness….today’s video surpassed this expectation!!! 🤩
Thank you!!
Thank God!!! Johnson is my Fashion and Maximalist Icon!!!I I Adore Him!!! More More!!!
He is an amazing whirlwind of creative talent!! We love him too!
Johnsons mind is always busy working. Very layered in depths. I love his quote unquote "He's a basket case". I couldn't imagine you both wearing any different shirts for the interview. I love wisteria myself. I sort of had a feeling of walking into a living Van Gogh painting!
So nice to see different people’s aesthetics. And fun puppies! 💕 💕
So true..the pandemic inspired a burst of creativity! I wallpapered my powder room, painted and re-decorated our master bath, painted a French door red..scoured so many vintage deals that now hang in my space!
I’m so obsessed with the flower fireplace🌺🌼🌸
Happy happy happy house 🏡🌞 Energizing! Permission to have and implement ideas!
Also, does that sweet, vibrant green in the library pass-through have a name? Enchanted Mermaid and Bathing Beauty are calling me back to them 🤓
I enjoy his enthusiasm and the fact he seems to care less what others think. For me personally that is what makes a home a home. Rather than a cookie cutter, hobby lobby or stuffy 'follow the rules home' it is unique and fun for others to spend time in.
This video made my day better. Thank you so much for taking us along. Bless you and your family. I look forward to each of your videos. Best regards, Beverly
Our pleasure! Thanks so much!
Why nobody notice the most beautiful enchanting garden ever?
The garden IS enchanting!!
Such a playful exuberant home full of wonderful colour and pattern. LOVE it
So glad - we love it too!
Fun to live here. Fashion designers homes are always interesting.
It would be!!
Love the house it is really interesting thanks for sharing beautiful video 👍
Our pleasure and so glad you enjoyed!!
It wouldn't be my thing, but you have to give him credit to designing his home to express his creative ideas in spontaneous enthusiasm for color, patterns, and texture while holding nothing back.
He absolutely loves it you can see and it works for him, really it's all that matters.
Exactly!!
Bonjour Suzanna and Stacy, What's not to love about this guy ! He sure express himself with easy, he is not afraid of being/decorating "over the top" ; he just goes for it ! He collects objects, he showcase them, he mixes patterns and colors but in the end everything is fun, cozy and vibrant at the same time. He has a place to live and enjoy, that is my feeling. He dares, for example he takes clothes fabrics and makes curtains with them and voilà. He is a living inspiration ; love it ! Thanks for sharing, girls. Let me wish you both a Merry Christmas and happy Holidays because I guess next time we will see you it will be in 2022. Take care and please stay safe - Much love and appreciation your way. - Rosalind - Joyeux Noël mes chéries (( hugs ))
Have the most wonderful holiday and thank you so much for your wonderful enthusiasm and support!
Thank you Rosalind for your always fun and perceptive comments. Wishing you a wonderful holiday as well!!
Lovely colourful house …
His personality is everything. He is magnificent, so is the home!
The master bedroom wall paper with the extension of the tree tops painted over the crown molding and to the ceiling is EVERYTHING! Congratulations on your new home!
ok this has been one of the funniest ones yet! I love this guy, like I would want to be his best friend! Totally stealing that "STOP" sculpture from his awesome living room.
I LOVE everything his painter has done! That mantel is perfection.
Right?! So creative!
Wowza! 😍 And first thing in the morning waking up to this! I don’t need coffee! 😂
What an enchanting home! I love it!!! Mr. Hartig’s home is just magical to me. His exuberance and zest is indeed reflected. He has an incredible sense of style and a great eye!
Thank you for letting us have a glimpse of his wonderful home!
Our pleasure and couldn't agree more!
What an absolute doll of a creative genius he is! He's all over the place with design and color, but it all works!
I absolutely adore this! Yes, all the things we love! I am a maximalist but this gives me the inspiration to go all out! Because what else is there In the Time of COVID! Heading to my storage unit and pulling out all my treasures! Thank you!
Go for it!! Glad to inspire!
