      @@quintessenceblg Oh my gosh...you don't even KNOW just how many ideas I've stol...er....borrowed from your videos. This is absolutely true. I live in an adobe house in a rural area in New Mexico, so of course, everyone expects me to decorate in a southwestern style. Quintessence has given me the confidence to have my own funky style with lots of mixed textiles, designs, etc.
      About a year ago, I started buying a few pieces of furniture at auctions to re-do my home with and, well, I got hooked. I'm now in the process of opening a vintage/antique store in my village in hopes of showing people they don't have to follow the trend, or buying cheap Walmart/Ikea furniture. Before I've even opened I have people knocking on the door and wanting to buy. I also just had a realtor commission 5 pieces of furniture with the promise of more. Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted you to know that your videos actually change lives.

    My middle name is Airlie as my ancestors on my grandmother’s side worked for the Ogilvy family, the Earls of Airlie, for generations. This has to be the quirkiest home on Quintessence, it’s one of the oldest and it’s so deeply personal, rooms are attributed to beloved family members who have passed on, her joy and pride in them shone through, it was really touching. Many, MANY British can identify with the saga of the staircase up which no furniture shall pass. I’ve just had that nightmare experience with two beds! An altar that doubles as a laundry is the most hilarious and unexpected thing on this channel too, to wash your sins away. LOL. I wonder what cycle it’s on during a wedding? LOL. Loved it.

    I was just reading "AT HOME" by Susanna and Stacey and a new "visit' notification arrived. Forter Castle, moody and filled with romance, has been lovingly updated by Katharine Pooley honoring her father's restoration with one of a kind rooms. Each tells a story of family members, those living and poignantly those who have passed. There is nothing maudlin or spooky about the castle home. Forter Castle is filled with warmth and character, shining a light on the crafts and products of a proud Scotland. The wool covered walls are a particular luxury in the coziest sense of the word. Susanna and Stacey give us real people and real homes.

    This is an amazing restoration. Truly breathtaking. No detail has been overlooked and no expense spared. Every time there was a room change, the new room was my favorite until the following room appeared. The magnificent ceiling was a brilliant idea as were the upholstered walls. Even though the castle is so formal, this would be a great place to kick off you wellies and sit with a good book and a favorite dog. And maybe a great glass of scotch. There really should be a book written about the castle’s history and it’s restoration.

    I really enjoyed that tour. I am glad the precious castle was so beautifully and lovingly restored. When my granddaughter was younger l helped her to build a representation of a castle for school. I almost feel as if it has come to life.

      Those suffering from the injection’s side effects are not just nameless figures on a page, reports OAN. For example, Angelia Desselle from Louisiana could barely stand after her shot and suffers from a neurological disorder that, according to doctors, is the result of the vaccine. Likewise, Shawn Skelton from Indiana has been debilitated and lost control of her body since the Pfizer shot,”

    The ceiling is my favorite part, and the outside is gorgeous. The interior is lovely but very contemporary. I think I would also want modern conveniences but would love to see more period pieces and design.

    This was tremendous! Thanks for another wonderful private visit. And I had to laugh, too, because I‘m actually house-hunting in Provence this week, and I was just wondering how I would ever get my furniture up the narrow stone staircase in the ancient house I visited today. (I‘ve now realized that I‘ll have to leave the big pieces behind!)
