At Home with Fawn Galli in her 1810 Brooklyn Brownstone

- Tag along to Brooklyn, New York for a behind the scenes visit with interior designer Fawn Galli at her 1810 four story brownstone. While Fawn’s previous home (see our video visit • At Home in Brooklyn wi... ) was only a few blocks away, she couldn’t resist the elaborate original moldings and six working fireplaces. See how she worked within the original structure to create a family home that is as comfortableas it is stylish and sophisticated. Only adding vintage chevron floors and some minor structural revisions to the primary bedroom floor by architect husband Julio Salcedo, Fawn managed to rework the spaces to accommodate both her children and adult living with an elevated bohemian sensibility. Learn how Fawn approaches all her projects as an existential journey, to develop one’s own personal style and have it reflected in your home. In her own home, Fawn melded seemingly incongruous interests - nature, color, surrealism, fantasy and disco sparkle. See how she transformed a simple Ikea kitchen into a chic and modern space with unusual marble, upscale hardware and an artistic update to the original light fixture. Watch to see how Fawn effortlessly melded the historic architecture with modern art and furniture for family living that is at once practical and glamorous. And see how Fawn incorporated her passion for artisanal products throughout. Thank you to video sponsor Modern Matter modern-matter.com You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!

I adore seeing other people's style reflected in their homes. Your home should be your sanctuary. Some people don't get that, they feel they must follow the masses. Follow your heart and vision.
SO AGREE!
let's get out of our confort zone for 2023!!!
Great idea!!
I don’t like her taste but the house itself is gorgeous.
I agree with you I myself do not care for her taste either but the house itself is absolutely gorgeous
I wish we got to tour the backyard. It looked like a bucolic country yard from the one photo we see.
OMG those beautiful green counter tops! Love, Love, Love!❤
Me too!! So glad you enjoyed!
What a great New Years present!!! I have missed you Susanna and the Quintessence videos! Thank you for ending the year with a gem!
Thanks so much and so glad you loved!! - Stacey (behind the camera)
OMG ...!!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU BACK!!!💚
New Year's eve day. It's snowing outside with a fire inside (gee...I only have 1 fireplace, but it's a 125 year old casita and the fireplace is actually made out of petrified wood, so I don't feel bad...). I just put a loaf of sourdough bread into the oven and sat down to watch a video. YAY!!!! My favorite channel, @Quintessence posted a video. My life is wonderful.
Yeah, the sparkly boots are great, but Susanna's jacket is AH-MAZ-ING!!! I love it. It's so beautiful and elegant. Thank you for another wonderful tour.
Im so glad you loved!! Happiest of New Years to you!
LOVE this!! So glad you enjoyed! Happy New Year!
@@susannasalk7153 Thank you. And to you also. Let me know if you ever want to come to NM. There are some fabulous homes here.
@@quintessenceblg I always enjoy your videos. You both make my heart sparkle like those boots. Happy New Years to you both also and I'm looking forward to what you have planned for us next year. ❤
@@EnfinLibreNM Thank you and stay tuned!
I always respect a style even if it's not my style. I wouldn't live in this one, but I'd love to attend a party in it.
Exactly - THANK YOU!! Happy New Year!
Different strokes.....
What’s not to love: My favorite channel and my favorite borough!
Ha! Perfect - thank you!!
Just fabulous that she kept the working fireplaces, nothing else is like the heat, sounds and smell of a real fire
Yes!! As you now know, one of the reasons she bought the brownstone!
I absolutely love the kitchen, the island in the middle is the best! And Susan you are always so lovely 🙏❤️
Why thank you so much!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice that her decor is something a little different to the usual style seen on Quintessence, I like it a lot
Yay my favorite show is back❤️
A little too seventies vibe for me, but it makes sense based on Fawn sharing her background. Thanks Fawn and Quintessence.
Thank you!! Appreciate your open mindedness!
What an incredible townhouse! Although I must say what caught my eye the most is her amazing sequin skirt. ❤
I see pretty much free spirit in this house. I love it and love the back yard too!
So glad you enjoyed!
Off topic, but Susanna looks great in white jeans.
Why thank you!!
My take is that even if it's not to my taste, there's usually something that will spark my interest, give me an idea. I wouldn't buy that specific blue chair but the colour is fabulous and I will never forget it, and that is why I love these videos. There are very few decors that I'll refuse to watch and they are usually grey and minimalist. This one had me saying omg no! and laughing in equal measure. Good for her! Not everyone needs to love English country as much as I do 😄
Happy New Year to everyone 🎉
Thank you for your comment! I so appreciate that, while the style may not for you, you can still appreciate it and find a take away! Bravo!!
@@quintessenceblg thank you for making them for us to appreciate, and to learn from. And when the hosts love their homes and are so enthusiastic about them, what's not to enjoy?
It must have worked subconsciously because I've been rearranging my art and am finally framing art (a blue frame!) bought on favourite trips. So, thank you! 😊
@@leadoucet1432 Love hearing that!!
Way too chaotic for me but she loves it and that is all that matters. Wonderful tour.
Your videos always make my day! Thank you so much for posting!
You are so welcome! Happy New Year!
The stone in the bathroom and the marble in the kitchen are perfection!
I love that she doesn't give a f**** about trends! That's so refreshing.
Agreed!
I rewatch all the At Home With videos over and over again. They’re wonderful! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
I like the fireplaces
The dipped curtains
Very refreshing style
Her bold artwork on the walls is absolutely something to covet.
I have always loved the unexpected--the door pulls in an Ikea kitchen. Years ago Brian Boytano (gold medal figure skater) "Even if others do not like or see the blend, it does not matter, because if you love it, it works.
YES!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Totally not my style, but I appreciate how confident this designer is in her own choices and tastes. I do love her philosophy in decorating kids' rooms though.
I’m in love with the fact that she decorates and stands behind her brand without giving a F*** about what people think. Bold Smart Fun Inspiring. 🎉
I love all your tours and enthusiasm but truly your fashion style is also a reason I love your channel. So unique and truly you! The sweater you wore in this episode was beautiful. You helped me get through covid and actually were the first channel I discovered on RUclips. Thank you!
Thank YOU for your sweet and supportive comment! That purple suede jacket is vintage form an LA flea market :)🙏🙏
immediate stop then pivot.... quintessence I've missed you Susanna and Stacy. Wishing you the best in 2023.
Thank you Richard!
I feel like the recording needed to be longer… now I’m wondering what her other rooms, we didn’t see, look like.
We shot every room
Pretty cool looking and I bet it’s a fun home to live in!
This house is amazing. So much potential. Built in 1810. I would have made the interior decoration with class and style..
I can see the fun in this project in a "border line way". But to quote Project Runway "I seriously question the taste level"..
And Ikea kitchen might seem like a good idea due to low cost..but you get what you pay for...
Rude
Hello Susanna! What a marvellous home, so inspiring...!
Thank you so much for this amazing year in your company!
I will see you in 2023!!! Great year for all team!
Thank you Maria! We appreciate your viewership - Stacey (behind the camera)
The lush gardens complete the package beautifully!
Wow! The yellow in the kitchen...what a welcome addition.
👍🏻👍🏻
And the grey (or lavender) jacket? 😍we need to know the brand 😀
I'll let Susanna tell you!
It’s vintage from an LA flea market!
@@susannasalk7153 obviously 😭 not fair 😀
@@luciemedici LOL!
I loved it, too. ** Sigh **
I love everything about this home. Beautifully done! ❤
I love the original architectural details in the townhome 🥰 I can see why she bought it 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Love the Brownstone home here but I just love Brownstones anyway
MY FAVORITE CHANNEL IS BACK YAY HAPPY 2023 SUSANNA AND EVERYONE OUT THERE ❤️
She has decorated with what she love's and believes in looks like!
Thanks, Susanna! Your videos are very inspiring!
Thank you! So glad you enjoy! - Stacey (behind the camera)
Well, the thing that I like about this space is just that, the space. It's all open space. That is about all I like about her home. Different strokes for different folks!
I can’t finish this video and I was so looking forward to a new Quintessence video. Not my style.
It doesn’t have to be your style to learn something g new or take away a design concept.
Same here. This was a big miss for me. Painful to watch. Even when houses featured on here hasn’t been my style I could still watch but this was just painful.
Another wonderfully unique space! And the moldings are gorgeous. You never let us down Susanna. By the way, I love your adverts at the beginning of each video. It's always good to find new sources for quality products.
Well thank you so much!! We are delighted to introduce you to quality resources! - Stacey
I’m so thrilled you like them and find them helpful!
@@quintessenceblg Agreed! I made sure to visit this site; I love unique hardware and wasn’t familiar with this brand. Thank you!
Yayyy! New Episode. Been a while. Beautiful place. The high ceilings and the crown moldings are a Gasp❤️. Her style,not my cup of tea,but it’s her tea,so,good for her❤️
Exactly - glad you enjoyed!
Fabulously Personal!!!! Love it !❤ Happy New Year !!!!
So glad you love - Happy New Year to you as well!
Love how she infused whimsy into her home. Pretty fab ❤
We do too!
Not my jam, but looking at Fawn's portfolio, I can see the touches that make people want to hire her. She definitely has fun with color and textures which I appreciate. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you - for your constructive comment!
Fawn made me so happy! I had a pair of turquoise suede Indian boots ,that I just loved!!I did feel totally different when I wore them.Her home was a real inspiration. As always,thank you for a wonderful adventure. ☺
Our pleasure!! So glad you enjoyed our visit and Fawn’s fun and fearless style!
Love the architectural details! Those high ceilings and crown moldings were insane! 😮😍🥰 There are definitely surprise moments... and it’s wonderful she garners such joy from the unexpected.
Totally agree - glad you enjoyed!
I love the eclecticism 💕
"I wanted a stone that was almost in bad taste." I was howling. Especially because it was all so beautiful. I don't mind snakes, but there were too many above the fireplace. That wallpaper in going up the stairs was just dreamy. And don't even get me started on the sparkly boots! What a fun tour.
Thank you!! Love that Fawn is so fun and fearless but also thoughtful and intellectual!
Amazing. Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
Thank you and to you!
I love her home is gorgeous , thank you Susanna to bring us with you , and I love your video🥰
So glad you enjoyed! - Stacey (behind the camera)
She did a fantastic job on staying real to what she loves. Not cookie cutter decor that’s for sure.
ThankYou ThankYou Susanna ThankYou !
Happy New Year Life!!!🖖🏻
💜♾🌟♾💜
HOLY MOLDINGS! OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I loved the wallpaper by the stairs and the "moss"-green kitchen island. I did chuckle over all the "I knows...."
"I don't pander to the child aesthetic." Love it!!
Right?!
I love the sparkle, Happy New Year Susanna and Stacey!
So glad you enjoyed and thank you - a very Happy New Year to you as well!
One of my favorite tours on this channel! I love getting to see more modern/postmodern spaces as well as your usual vintage/countryside videos
So glad you enjoyed!
Love it. You had me at the marble in the kitchen.
👍🏻👍🏻
I really enjoyed this tour.. ☺ 🤗
We miss your videos 📹 😢! Love your work! Now this place is beautiful but not my style in deco! Happy New Year! Blessings
Thank you and Happy New Year to you!!
I love her style..bold yet beautiful ❤
👍🏻👍🏻
This is one of the few videos you've posted that I don't like. I LOVE the brownstone, don't like the decorating at all..
Sorry...
Same, but I don't like writing negative comments about people's homes. She's happy and that's what counts. Beautiful brownstone and I would have liked to see more of the garden.
You are entitled to your opinion
@@beatricerights thank you!
@@quintessenceblg I normally do not reply with negative comments - especially when something is of a personal choice. BUT since you are posting videos that are very subjective in style and you are looking for positive comments and views for monetization, I felt the comment would be helpful for future video content. I was very surprised at the negative visceral reaction I had to this video, especially since I like a lot of mid century modern style, but there it is.
@@diananazaroff5266 I am not just looking for positive comments and I don't mind that this wasn't for you. What I DON'T like is when people are unkind or pronounce that something isn't good or they think unattractive when it is just their opinion. I appreciate all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.
Best wishes for à wonderful New Year 2023 dear ladies.
Thank you so much! And to you!
What a great way to end the year! Happy 2023 Stacey & Susanna!!! and btw... Fawn has such an interesting style, thank you for another great video!!!
Thank you so much, Ignacio! So very glad you enjoyed Fawn’s tour - she definitely has a unique eye. Happy new year to you.
It‘s great to see you guys back! And visiting such a gorgeous house. That moulding is out of this world! I thought mine was brilliant, but hers takes moulding to a whole new level of awesome!! 😮
So glad you enjoyed! And, as you heard, the moldings are one of the reasons she bought the brownstone!
Thanks Susanna ~ enjoy all your tours ~ the best hostess!
Yellow cabinet with drinks tray and old school turntable at 2.40 so divine!
👍🏻👍🏻
Wish we could have seen more of that back yard. From the few moments toward the end, it looked fabulous! There probably wasn't time since there was so much to see inside. Thanks Susanna!
The backyard is lovely. So glad you enjoyed the visit. - Stacey (behind the camera)
How would you clean that feather chandelier. Love to watch your videos. Do these designers have a housekeeping on call. They all collect alot of stuff that needs to be dusted daily. Interesting designs. Happy New Year. Looking forward to your 2023 videos.
Thank you - Happy New Year to you!
Interesting and colourful home. By the comments, most people have gotten into grey, black and white or beige homes of late. It is nice to see someone who is not afraid of colour. It is a home that makes her and her family happy. Loved her boots too. Welcome back to videos. Happy New Year to you and your family. Can’t wait to see what videos are coming in 2023.
Lots of amazing ones!!😉
Thank you and stay tuned!!
I want dip dyed curtains!
Right?!
Me too! Loved this brownstone… so lush and so very unique! 💕💕💕💕
Not my style, but love this blog
The romance of the Brownstone in Brooklyn. I love it.
Thank you.
So likeable! Makes me relaxed and excited for her designs, both. Thank you for such a sensitive interview/ your.
Love this series, love the host and her appreciation for artistry behind different styles and aesthetics
Thank you!!
Happy New Year Stacey and Susanna!!! Blessings always!!!❤️🙏
Thank you Carlos! Same to you! 🍾🥂💫
@@quintessenceblg ❤️
Beautiful exterior and vibrant interior. Thank you.
Happy New Year Stacey & Susanna!!! 🥳🌠🤗
Thank you so much and same to you! 🍾🥂💫
@@quintessenceblg ❤️😘
Happy New Year Susanna and Stacey! Thanks for another inspiring house tour. I love the mix and balance. 💙🦋💙
Thanks so much and same to you!!
I love the painted walls in the entry with the black staircase
👍🏻👍🏻
It’s been too long. Love this interview!
🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

I love the black tall deer! Simply fabulous!
Best thing that I love is it might not be you yet it sure is her❤
yes!
I think kids should design their own rooms. What kid wants to live in an adult room?
Kids that want to be taken seriously by adults.
The touches of the unexpected are so good! Love the yellow throughout, the stone choices, the textiles. The modern pieces mixed with the house's original details.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 so glad you enjoyed - and appreciated Fawn’s creativity!
Bon vivant! Vive le diference.Happy New Year all.Looking forward to more Quintessence episodes.
Cheers to that and thank you!! 🙏🏻
Not too crazy about the granny curtains in the bathroom but overall I love her decor style….she thinks outside the box.
Unique!
The feathers light fixture is awesome 😀
Such a great and thoughtful combo!
Beautiful space. However, I strongly dislike the snakes!
Loved your channel so much, I’m on the house renovation project at the moment, and got inspired by your content a lot, love you from New Zealand ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad - thank you and good luck!
Another kiwi here!
