  • 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.

    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.

    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 🎉

    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.

    Not too crazy about the granny curtains in the bathroom but overall I love her decor style….she thinks outside the box.

    Beautiful space. However, I strongly dislike the snakes!
