    A life sized jewel box! Beautifully rich and generous with the added generational narrative. And...in London! My perception...absolute perfection!

    One flat for 30 years...only added on...crazy great! So much to look at - will have to watch over and over! Beautiful. I'd love to see a floor plan! One of the best moments was when he said "Give me advance notice because we get quite booked up!" Just darling! He is so charming and elegant like his interiors! I want to touch all the textiles! BTW...I love London!

    Alidad has the elements of opulence! A period home fit for a King and Queen with all the bells and whistles to draw you in and keep you in awe. I love the traditional mixed with the modern and the whimsy of the past gives the home a feeling of cozy. I can tell Alidad is OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) where placement and objects have to be exact and symmetrical in nature. This is a condition of brilliance and to be so gifted allows one to layer beyond mere decorating.

    Jib doors are amazing, preserving the symmetry of the room while maintaining access to on off balanced entrance, like his red room, with the jib door hidden on the left. His design is so well mastered.

    I can't believe out of all the videos I have watched I pick and chose elements that I like but this designer has a flow like none of the others. His spaces breathe with life even though there are many objects.

    OMG i love this channel. Thanks Susanna. I gobble up each episode. You are so natural and informative and interested, every post is heaven. I have only one issue, please do not take it the wrong way my intention is not to be annoying or critical, it is because I work with sound and my only dream for each post is that you are able to reduce the "spill" in each space wit the sound. The rooms often have a tinny acoustic and it would be so wonderful to reduce this issue as would increase the enjoyment so much. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you for all your hard work. x

      hi gina, this jacket is called a Trachten-janker, guess it is actually a salzburg janker.
      even mrs biden owns one closely in style
      www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54937787
      it is came first from military, then to hunting clothes, all in the habsburg monarchy.
      this is the formal version used in austria and germany, often with a lederhose.
      could buy it here. www.lodenfrey.com/Herren/Trachten/Janker/#gref

      @@beelinekhan460 I _thought_ this reminded me a bit of those Austrian jackets, which I like very much (the blood is calling, I am part Austrian! LOL). But since I don't think this gentleman is from that region, I was sure I was mistaken. ;-) Huh! So they are fashionable now. When I was growing up, and where I lived, such things were thought to be so very petty-burgoise. How times change... :-)

    Alidad was completely right never to leave. I hope he's able to stay for the rest of his life.
