    Wonderful video !! Thank you Quintessence. I am so happy because, last week I went back and looked at old videos as I was missing looking at beautiful things. To be able to look at beautiful things makes me happy inside and out. For me, Quintessence IS the place where I fulfill that need of beauty, it brings peace to my soul and life and I get inspired. Again, thank you so much ~

    This house is perfection, open airy but allowing those deep toned cozy areas that this house begged for!
    Here is the perfect example of a person who collects fine things and listened to her home. She fiollwed some trends but in no way allowed them to dictate in this home! This excites me when I see this! (Lots of !!!'s) 😁 I could move straight in!
    And, of course, you gave us this wonderful tour and introduction. Once again, Thank You and Thank You to that wonderfully talented and empathetic home owner!😁😚⚘ well done 🍃🌹🍃

      CD 1 What a perfectly put response! Windsor is a former antiques dealer who knows how to execute an effortless mix. She also isn’t afraid of bold dark colors which as you point out are so effective against the lighter spaces! So glad you enjoyed and hope you’ve subscribed so you never miss a thing from talented designers around the world!

    I just detected this four year old episode and I am so impressed. A very elegant house with a pleasant and attractive home owner. The kitchen was stunning! Meanwhile you see several interior shows in which rooms with black walls are presented, sometimes rather gloomy. But in this case it is something different. The numerous mullion windows with the great view into a bright-green garden. The shiny, sparkling kitchen facilities and tools. All of that is in wonderful contrast to the black backdrop. And Susanna? Gorgeous and graceful as always. Both women, with their long hair and very slim, looked great in the environment. Thanks to Windsor, Stacey and Susanna. Greetings from Germany

    Windsor does the unexpected which I love. I love black, but I would be hesitant using it on my walls. No longer. It's chic, elegant and comfy. She really knows how to mix formal antiques with country furniture which is difficult to do well. Another fab home. It's Sunday morning in Denver. I feel I have gotten my beauty shot for the day. Ready to face the world. Thank you so much.

Try the same mike that reporters use when they do documentaries (the furry one). The sound is very important . Since you have a great content you need only the good sound and your channel will become much more popular :) Good luck

    Such a wonderful combination of charm and style! Just wondering if family and guests at the kitchen table feel the heat of the stove during summer parties? Of course -- this is a large kitchen so perhaps there is enough distance between the chairs/table and the stove! Also -- is the table used for food prep -- or just dining? Thanks for another gorgeous video!
