the lady seems very exited really and enthusiastic about her stuff, yet she managed to share and speak of it with perfect elegance. she seems very gentle
Did you check out that photo of Jeffrey Epstein girlfriend at Laura’s party? Yeah. What class. Tell us your Jeffrey Epstein stories Laura. Bet they’re more interesting than what color Lenny Kravitz painted his house.
Hi, Susanna. I love all of your Quintessence videos. I don't know if I'd told you but I watch them over and over again. The videos are so fabulous and they are loaded with fabulous people in their exquisite homes! Thank you so much! :-)
Thanks Celestine! So glad you enjoy! Susanna and I have so many terrific new episodes coming up! You can also stop by my blog (quintessenceblog.com) for additional inspiration from any of these homes. - Stacey Bewkes (Quintessence)
I am so blessed to have your videos to dream of this life styles you bring to us in your travels to designers homes.I feel like I see it thru your eyes.
Amazing what makes us all happy. Choice is so important. Some of us don’t like everything yet can pull what works for us. Your right !pick what inspires you.
I know you've been here before, but I would love to know if you do a prewalk through to decide what you are going to ask and point out? As usual, you are a delight to watch.
Maybe it was maybe it wasn't who the hell cares! I don't what people do in the privacy of their homes is their business! I don't screen every guest that comes to my house party not my problem!
So gorgeous and elegant ,I loved all the stuff , green and candles perfect combination ,Thank you so much for your beautiful video I really enjoyed it,God bless and peace grace 💕🦋🌸🌲🌲🦋🦋🦋💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸
Not only is her house lovely but I really like her personality. What a nice lady. And she really fed you.:) so nice! I said wow several times but the squash soup (yum) in pumpkin bowls with tops oh i love that 💚💛💚💛💚💚🌿🦋🍁🏵
Laura Slatkin possesses immense style and grace. I've seen this video numerous times since discovering Quintessence channel. However, I only now spotted something. Is that Ghislaine Maxwell in the first still photo at 1:27? If not, that woman pictured certainly appears to have a tremendous resemblance to her.
Quintessence This series is good because it explores not simply the contents of someone’s home, but their involvement in, and personal attachment to, their homes. This lady would be nice to know and someone from whom I believe one could learn a lot. Her attention to detail is exemplary!
Unfortunately I have to watch this video in mute. I found their chat very empty and vain. But I have to thanks to this video I decided to FINALLY subscribe.
1% of 1% ,this one even had a butler haha , love the house though , just have to do another couple of weeks down the salt mines ;)( or in her case Lehman Bros. Way back ..hmmm;)
An artiste comes in many lovely forms. Thank you for inspiring me and causing me to remember how much appreciation comes from being extraordinary in everyday living. I would love these recipes. Anyway to get them? Loved this video!
Hi, I'watching from Serbia all from Quintessence and enjoy all of ideas and beauty of houses, people and interiors...I think that lot of influences comes from there.My hous is very nice, with lot of antique furnitur and nice paintings...I had lot of teachers :)))) Sorry for my bad english but I speak perfekt german and missing lot of words for all my impressions. Best regards from Jelena Bukilic
Not taking away from the beauty from the gray large gray painting but it is a little too large for that wall and steals the exquisite view of the moldings. You absolutely need something in smaller size. Beautiful home
She’s so peaceful to listen to and presents a great visual. I bet the color is “White by ...brain block...that English paint company also I would love the recipe ❤️
I thought it could be Farrow and Ball and Ball. There white is fantastic. She right about whites, they are very different. Thank you for another fabulous tume❤️
omg I did not know Laura Slatkin was the founder of Nest Fragrances! I purchase from them all the time, in fact I need to replenish my Amalfi lemon & mint liquid diffusers
The serving scene reminds me a little of the movie “The Help” where the servants disappear into the atmosphere. There is no acknowledgement, no thank you, no smile. Yes, they are paid so I guess common courtesy to the help is not necessary. I think the home is nice but you’ve featured many more beautiful homes that are more in line with mainstream living. I love your videos though because normally they make one feel good and give us all some great ideas on how to make our living environment more beautiful.
I don't necessarily agree that the house shows too much "good taste," which for me is the problem. (It's a lot of nouveau riche, which perhaps is what you are also saying, in calling it bourgeois--which I think you're right about). However, I do see your point. As Sir John Richardson once said: “I think it’s important to have a few really hideous things. Otherwise, it looks like too much ghastly good taste.”
Well that's economical! We always use Donald Kaufman paints. His whites are (supposedly) mixed with a wider range of pigments - premium pigments which (supposedly) handle light in a more lively fashion. Then again, the Slatkins may have used a Kaufman color mixed by a Benjamin Moore retailer. It does NOT look like just any ordinary white. I agree. It's perfection (as is everything about this particular segment).
@@quintessenceblg Darn ! But thanks for answering so quickly. I enjoy these videos tremendously and get wonderful ideas from them. They are so visually appealing. Keep up the good work !
Laura Slatkin is a elegant lady as reflected in everything she does, So is her brother in law. His interiors are gorgeous. I think i may have read she is no longer with us I hope that is wrong she brings so much beauty into the world.
A lovely house and I am one of the people who would vote for a longer version. If some lack the concentration, could you post two versions? Or release the longer versions on DVD? I don't mean to be unkind and I am sure Laura is a marvelous woman really, but it was wicked and horrible of her to mutilate a poor, defenseless book just to cover one of her products! In compensation, she did, it has to be granted, look suitably ashamed! Thank you for the video!
@Eristhenes Yes, and people know that and that is why libraries now only allow certain books to be viewed in situ. You cannot take them home. I don't intend to be mean it's just that a lot of us simply cannot afford the fabulous books we'd so like to own.
I love this woman and I love her shows the Holmes that she goes into a beautiful but please change that intro music it's getting on my nerves please update it
For everyone asking for the shade of white used, pick your own shade based on the light in your home, the climate, other decorative elements - all will affect how white looks on your walls! And remember, those are professional photographs and videos, which also affect how you see the color. You don’t choose the shades of clothing that you wear just because it looked good on a model in a photograph, do you? Neither Lenny Kravitz nor Laura Slatkin have solved the mystery of the perfect shade of white!are t
It's a Benjamin Moore paint...WE KNOW THAT MUCH. But the rich don't want us plebians having the same paint color in our lowly, mean houses, LOL. (Not that it would look the same, so what does it matter?) I'll keep that in mind about Lenny...and this lady, as well (who simply could have said it, like a normal person would). I bet Benjamin Moore would have appreciated it, as well!
I notice they didn't mind letting us know the scent color of her house, though...am I right?? Haha. We can smell like them, just don't LOOK like them, I take it!
PLEASE delete the frame with Ghislaine Maxwell in it. As an advocate for women and children, I have a hard time moving past 1:29, due to seriousness of her crimes.
Don’t know how I feel about this lady ! She seems like she was boasting a but much ..I’ve seen many videos on this channel and never got the same feeling about any other guest
I agree. Maybe it's the association with a child predator that gives this hostess a bad vibe. Or maybe it's because it's hard to relate to because it's about pretentiousness and lacks warmth.
Susanna. You have the most exciting job ever
Susan Kelley Thank you! We love what we do! - Stacey (behind the camera and comments here!)
the lady seems very exited really and enthusiastic about her stuff, yet she managed to share and speak of it with perfect elegance. she seems very gentle
What a fascinating woman. I love her storytelling. And, I couldn't leave out her fabulous hair.
Agreed. Laura Slatkin's hair is fabulous. I also love her dress.
Her style of clothing and also her hair are impeccable.
I just love the peek into classic homes, entertainment and art. It really revives the appreciation of the many loves of life.
Delighted to hear!
This woman is my favorite person on the channel so far!! She reminds me of Jackie Kennedy, so classy and a true icon! Love her
Laura is always elegant but also smart and fun! A total delight!
I want these recipes !
@@SahMai You are just stupid, you must have been dropped on your head as a baby. This Lady is not only beautiful but has such charm.

M. Roman Yes, Laura’s company, NEST, has an amazing and creative selection!
I am so blessed to have your videos to dream of this life styles you bring to us in your travels to designers homes.I feel like I see it thru your eyes.
Ghislane Maxwell in the house.... Oh Jeffrey...... 1:29
I spotted her straight away as well. She was everywhere and seemingly mingled with everyone.
@@patriciabieniek5553 ..... Now, no one including the government can track her down ! Interesting
Amazing what makes us all happy. Choice is so important. Some of us don’t like everything yet can pull what works for us. Your right !pick what inspires you.
So true!
What an inspiration! Thank you for this lovely interview. Laura Slatkin is a treasure beyond words.
She is indeed!! Glad you enjoyed!!
A GENIUS in home decor.
HER style is everything. love that pasta dish how could we get recipe.
I want soup right now! I never imagined a bowl that cute and elegant would make me immediately hungry.
Love that you have fallen down the rabbit hole and are enjoying the series! Yes, Laura sets the most beautiful table!! And the soup was delicious!
Is that Ghislaine Maxwell ? 1.29 minutes 2nd from left at the cocktail party?
I know you've been here before, but I would love to know if you do a prewalk through to decide what you are going to ask and point out?
As usual, you are a delight to watch.
Yes we do - we have often done research first but after arriving, before filming we do a walk through!
OMG---I WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE HOME!!!!
Love this ladies voice, her georgous rigout and of course her fabulous home, what taste.. 🇮🇪
Money ... comes to mind.
Isn’t it Ghislaine Maxwell @1:30 at one of the party photos?
Wow! I am surprise that they have not removed that part of the video lately.
It certainly is Ghislaine Maxwell! How vile!
Maybe it was maybe it wasn't who the hell cares! I don't what people do in the privacy of their homes is their business! I don't screen every guest that comes to my house party not my problem!
@Joyce B I agree what if Maxwell was came to recruit young women for her handler at the party.
OMG yes...in the first photo....good eye !! It's actually about @1:27 tho...
So gorgeous and elegant ,I loved all the stuff , green and candles perfect combination ,Thank you so much for your beautiful video I really enjoyed it,God bless and peace grace 💕🦋🌸🌲🌲🦋🦋🦋💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸

That’s definitely her.
How amazing! Deeda Blair! Life at the top!
I love her style.Stunning.
You know, I really enjoyed this journey. Thank you.
That is a nice comment.
The lady is very gracious, down to earth, and matter of fact about the many luxuries she enjoys.

Thanks again. Really like the new opening and of course this first rate visit to Laura Slatkin's home.
Joe Ruggiero Thank you Joe - so glad you like the new opening too!!
It was a great series - Joe did a terrific job!
Will be getting TheKatzLife - stay tuned on the blog!
Amazing!! Thank you for the tour!

Another great home tour! I truly enjoyed this! Just spectacular!
Thank you so much Mrs. Shockley !!
@@quintessenceblg But... we weren't shown the house!
Ghislaine Maxwell creeping in at 1:28
All this rich people are involved☠️
The outside space is amaaaazing love it
Is that Ghislaine Maxwell at minute 1:29?
What a stylish gorgeous woman.....and the house.....my goodness a living Paradise.
Miracle One Laura is always chic as is her beautiful home!
Oh my gosh Ghislaine Maxwell Is in this video as a guest oh my goodness . Anyway besides that little surprise I just love this channel
Her table settings are amazing. Would love to have the recipe of the soufflé. Thank you xx
Rowaida Fl Agreed!! And who knows - recipe might be forthcoming!!
@@quintessenceblg .. When would that be ? 5 years have already passed by .. Can you speed it up please ? lol
Thank you for the glimpse into how the 1 per cent live. Such a relief from the trailer courts and walmarts around here.
Chuck Stark The people are more interesting at Walmart!
Chuck Stark Agreed. I wouldn’t even know how to carry on a conversation with her. Wonder who buys her candles.
@@rikkitikkitavi997 Lots of money, but can't take care of her autistic son! He lives away fom the parents.
Mari Camila that is horrible ! Poor child...😢
1% of 1% ,this one even had a butler haha , love the house though , just have to do another couple of weeks down the salt mines ;)( or in her case Lehman Bros. Way back ..hmmm;)
I love the Blue and White!
Nice elegant leopard print coat and fragrance collection 🌹🌹⭐️👏🏻🌺
I thought that painting was a dirty chalkboard. I was waiting for her to say it was chalkboard paint and we let our guests sign it! lol
Lol
I know it’s ugly ugly
The “dirty chalkboard” painting is truly horrible, and a reminder that money does not necessarily equate with good taste or an eye for fine art.
Kristin Knoblach Prompol I thought the same😀
Heheheheheh
Love love this house😍
Lovely home
Wow she is the definition of elegance...
An artiste comes in many lovely forms. Thank you for inspiring me and causing me to remember how much appreciation comes from being extraordinary in everyday living. I would love these recipes. Anyway to get them? Loved this video!

Not taking away from the beauty from the gray large gray painting but it is a little too large for that wall and steals the exquisite view of the moldings. You absolutely need something in smaller size. Beautiful home
Did anyone else notice Ghislaine Maxwell in the photo at 1:29
Beautiful decorations ! Love it. Regards from Jakarta
I so love her. She is so cool. How do I become a friend?!?!?!? LOL But seriously she is fantastic.
She is living her life 🍸
This is elegant and cozy!
Of course we all have a receiving cocktail area... Yer right...😂😂😂
She’s so peaceful to listen to and presents a great visual. I bet the color is “White by ...brain block...that English paint company also I would love the recipe ❤️
The white is actually a Benjamin Moore color which unfortunately Mr. Kravitz was unwilling to share!

This is the most stultifyingly bourgeois home I've seen on this channel. It's the height of good taste and therein lies the problem
Yes, good taste is very problematic.
Lex C .. How do you see it as being a problem ?
I don't necessarily agree that the house shows too much "good taste," which for me is the problem. (It's a lot of nouveau riche, which perhaps is what you are also saying, in calling it bourgeois--which I think you're right about). However, I do see your point. As Sir John Richardson once said: “I think it’s important to have a few really hideous things. Otherwise, it looks like too much ghastly good taste.”
Would love to know the white paint color used by Lenny Kravitz & the truffled pasta souffle recipe!!!
LindaC Wish I could help you on that one - it's a Benjamin Moore color! I might be able to do better on the recipe - stay tuned!
Might be Linen White by Benjamin Moore?
Well that's economical! We always use Donald Kaufman paints. His whites are (supposedly) mixed with a wider range of pigments - premium pigments which (supposedly) handle light in a more lively fashion. Then again, the Slatkins may have used a Kaufman color mixed by a Benjamin Moore retailer. It does NOT look like just any ordinary white. I agree. It's perfection (as is everything about this particular segment).
I think it looks like BM Cotton Balls
@@quintessenceblg Three years later, how we doing on that truffled pasta souffle recipe? Any luck getting yet?! 😁
This is so inspiring ! So what IS the name of the “Lenny Kravitz perfect white paint”?
He unfortunately declined to share.
@@quintessenceblg Darn ! But thanks for answering so quickly. I enjoy these videos tremendously and get wonderful ideas from them. They are so visually appealing. Keep up the good work !
@@kittiesshortie5011 I know - sorry about that but thank you!! So glad you find inspiration!! New one coming hopefully tomorrow!
He would not tell what kind of paint he had on his walls!? What a pretentious twat.
You are the best. Big salam from Saudi Arabia
Thank you!!
Wonderful! So can you give us the perfect white color? 🥰
I might be mistaken but did I see Ghislaine Maxwell?
Laura Slatkin is a elegant lady as reflected in everything she does, So is her brother in law. His interiors are gorgeous. I think i may have read she is no longer with us I hope that is wrong she brings so much beauty into the world.
Not at all - happy to say that Laura is very much with us!!
Thank you for that. Our world is much more beautiful with her in it..She is lovely.
So true - thank you Nancy!
And it's wonderful that she personally presents and sells her fragrace collection on QVC!
Sooo glad I dropped by on these videos you are so professional compared to some of the rubbish out there it's a pleasure to watch
Please tell us the white paint color.
Thank you
Please share the recipes for the soup and soufflé!!!
Please, please, tell us who makes and color name of the white paint.
It is a custom Benjamin Moore color that unfortunately Lenny Kravitz declines to share.
Excellent!
I wish she was my mentor!

I'm afraid Lenny Kravitz wasn't willing to share with the world!
What was the Lenny Kravitz paint colour ? I am dying to know xx
Unfortunately we couldn't secure that information from him...
So why not secure it from her. It's paint for God's sake not the formula for Coca Cola. Geez
Shouldn't the guest be served first?

Upper east side
Can you tell me what Lenny Kravitz white paint is?

Where do you find Russian furniture???? Love the leapord chairs
I love a big piece of art, however, I literally thought that was a chalkboard. Took me right back to elementary school.
Fabulous
is that ghislaine maxwell , i think it is
She’s super highbrow connected
Don’t know how I feel about this lady ! She seems like she was boasting a but much ..I’ve seen many videos on this channel and never got the same feeling about any other guest
I agree. Maybe it's the association with a child predator that gives this hostess a bad vibe. Or maybe it's because it's hard to relate to because it's about pretentiousness and lacks warmth.
