I'm obsessed with Alex and his table settings. I can't get enough of videos on this topic.
We love Alex too! And Alex and I share a passion for setting the table!
Honestly, you guys, at the risk of sounding so corny, I love these videos. It has been an early, unseasonably cold and grey winter in northwestern Michigan - and your videos are inspiring me tremendously. THANK YOU, ALEX - for reminding me to use everything I have. My grandmother taught me that decades ago, and so I just dug her old china out of the basement to mix with my collections. Colorful! She was much more contemporary in the 1950's than I am now, and it looks great together. I'm retired now, living on a fixed income - but I went out in the yard and cut greens from the pines and red berries from the Hawthorn tree to decorate the table...I am going to start entertaining again for the first time in 30-40 years. Keep them coming, please!
Susan Steadman Not corny at all - music to our ears! Delighted to offer you some warmth and inspiration!!
You go girl! No one styles better than Mother Nature! And no one knows better than our grandmothers about style!
I thought i was crazy for collecting beautiful table wear. I'm in heaven watching this episode.
So much fun! Alex is contagious. He surrounds himself with beauty. Envy his cataloguing of everything.
Thanks so much, Susanna and Stacey
Our pleasure Kathleen! You would love Alex!! xx
That man is so passionate and creative 👍
Aleesha Rimotif So true!!
If you have it, use it. Love that philosophy.
Yes! What's the point of having if you don't use!!
Wow love it
I love Alex sooooo much that I watch every video he's featured in over and over! He makes me happy...REALLY, HAPPY!
Just The Crust We love Alex too! So happy you enjoyed!
This is one of my favorite Quintessence videos I keep in my rotation.-especially after a stressful workday. Alex Papachristidis exudes style and sensibility and is always a joy to watch. TY!
Great to hear! And we agree! Hope you've seen our other videos with him!
Once more a Beautiful home and a cool person Quintessence is one amazing channel
Raymond F Thank you so much Raymond!
You can tell Alex would be a lovely host...such a thoughtful man. And fun too!
Absolutely on all counts!
Another great visit! He always seems so pleasant and personable and I appreciate the fact he says to use your good things. Far too many don't enjoy their favorite items which is such a waste, if not you then who? Thank you for taking us along for the fun!
sherrie gibson our pleasure and couldn’t agree more!!
I could listen to Alex all day! He has the best ideas!!
Me too!!
More more more with Alex! Viewed his lecture at Hillwood a hundred times. Longer episodes please! And much more setting the table episodes. It´s Christmas after all.
Erik with a K - We love Alex too! So glad you enjoyed and happy holidays!
Erik with a K , I’m addicted to Alex ‘s Ideas too .
+1
YES! We want more time with Alex
Happy to see another video with Alex. Love the snail side table and wicker bed at 4:59.
Margery Hannah Delighted to heat that and yes, love both those too - my favorite room!
Watching this episode again and again...there is so much to see, going on in this house. Just stunning!
Layers on layers! 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful! Now that's how you set a table.❤❤❤
I collect blue and white China on a budget. Church rummage sales are great place to find Grandmas old stuff.
Great idea!
Wow! Alex has the porcelain collection of my dreams. Royal Copenhagen for 25!!!! Just wow.
jcrane45585 Isn’t it marvelous?! And so versatile with the mix and match patterns!
When I recently moved, I realized my new digs wouldn't have the storage space for both my everyday china and good china. I got rid of the everyday ones. No regrets!
Great to hear!! Use the good stuff!
Looks gorgeous 💙💖
More is more! I think Alex invented the phrase “Go big or go home” He is wonderful crazy! I love him and the way he does everything
We do too! So glad you agree!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Blue and white is my favorite color combination for dining and, Alex has a beautiful collection of blue and white pieces. The way he combines them with brown is lovely. Romancing everyday items and tasks is a wonderful philosophy.
Cindy M Couldn’t agree more! Let’s all remember to enjoy a little everyday elegance!
Alex really does a good job on his home. One of the best I've seen.
Beautiful!!! I love white and blue porcelain!
Amazing!
Thank you so much!!!
Wallace Fine Arts Thank YOU! And blue and white is such a classic!
His Brilliant mind is fascinating to me,loved this,thank you.
LOVE the "look book" concept. I have a loose "portfolio" of some of the table settings I've created. A great idea, so one doesn't forget what ones has! Mr. Papchristidis, you have a lovely home!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a program! Got addicted to the music totally 😍
Aleesha Rimotif 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh, he’s the best! How much we appreciate him!🎉🎉

Such a beautiful soul pours out everything that reveals the beauty of his inner most reflections, I love the way he expresses beauty through all shades of blues and not to forget those flowers - oh so heavenly 👼 and lovely 💖
We agree!
I love Alex! I`m a great fan of him since I discovered him through Quintessence! Greetings from Spain!

Another great edition! I love everything! The home is so well appointed. Besides the table settings, I was also looking at and loving the candle holders, cache pots, gueridon table, etc.! And, what a beautiful guest room you stayed in. All so lovely!
Every inch of Alex's Hamptons home is thoughtfully and beautifully appointed!
And here we are again with this lovely man and his lovely house and his lovely things. I could spend days, literally, just roaming around, admiring it all. Amazing taste. So soul-satisfying.
So glad you enjoyed! Alex is an inspiration!
Gorgeous home. I certainly share his passion for blue and white porcelain. 💙🤍

By far his table setting is the best in my opinion 😍
That’s a table well presented. Taking the time to pay attention to detail shows how much he cares for his guests.
Exactly!! Glad you enjoyed!
Please more videos of Alex, I can spend my entire day watching him and getting all these tips💐
And I thought I had a crazy amount of dinnerware....silly me!!!.....😉😊✌️💜💋
Love finding others who “play dining room” like me for fun.
😍😍😍love the elegance!
We do too!!
Love it! Thank you for another fantastic episode!
Our pleasure!!
I just adore that Alex!! Love it!😘
Lorraine Barrie We do too - so glad you enjoyed!!
I love him! So elegant and interesting! I could spend endless house talking to him! Thank you so much for sharing🌹
nieda capone So could we! Glad you enjoyed!
A rug pad for your placemats! I'm going to direct my friends and family to this video the next time someone tells me I'm extra. lol Susanna, I loved your question at the end about stepping up your tabletop even if you don't have the time, storage, budget or inclination. One of the ways I first started out rounding out my basic white china was to add beautiful salad plates. They're easy to store and can be more affordable so you can change up the look by having several different sets. At 7:45 I love the brass push button light switches in the background. My grandmother has them with a mother of pearl inlay and I've always loved them. Thanks for another wonderful video!
K B Thank you! And what a great suggestion. Glad you enjoyed and wishing you a very happy holiday!
K B I love to mix in salad plates too. Much for the same reason. “Space”
I actually don't love main courses on patterened plates, I find it a little distracting. Its odd because I hate anything mundane or modern but I do like white plates or just border patterned plates for entrees. Patterns are great for dessert, bread or salad plates though.
Of all the wonderful videos you have done, this is my new favorite!
Theirs is no word just breathless 😮 love ❤️.
Alex sets the most beautiful tables! So glad you enjoyed!
Alex's table settings are wonderful - I would imagine his guests want return invitations! Just love the textures and the colors he uses.
Totally agree!
Just stunning! Great tips from Alex!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ah! The guest bedroom 💗💕💕💐
I keep this video in my rotation and in 2022, I’m still taking tips from it. Alex has such great advice for those starting out. I, too, hadn’t looked at salt and peppers as a table accessory but I do now and added a couple of quail and bird sets to go with my botanical and chinoiserie dishes. LOVE these videos!
I smiled throughout the whole video! Alex, you are delightful - thank you for sharing your home with us!
Glad you enjoyed it! Alex IS a delight!
Another amazing video. Alex is a true artist. Thank you for sharing.
Kind regards
Kate. X
Thank you Kate!! We love sharing Alex's talents - so glad you enjoyed!
Bonjour Ladies ! Wow, that, to me, is a Quintessence Christmas gift : a new video featuring my fav. decorator. Why ? Because he loves dishes and I think he is the one that set the most gorgeous tables ! This afternoon, I went to a flee market and I came around fantastic bleu glasses ; although I am starting to have not enough space to store all my dishes collection, I bought them ; I am so glad that I did, especially after looking at Alex's beautiful table setting ! Anyway, a great day at the flee market ending with my fav. You Tube channel presentation !! Thank you for this gift and, to you dear ladies, I am sending my best wishes from Québec city - Canada, for a very Merry Christmas, a successful and Happy New Year 2019 ! - Rosalind-
Rosalind Hambleton Thank you so very much Rosalind! Wishing you a very Merry and enjoy your new finds!!
Rosalind Hambleton so glad you were inspired!!
That's my idea of a perfect day!
Everything about this video was stimulating conversation what a gem of information was shared in short brief time 👏
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!!
Royal Copenhagen! Oh how I love that pattern! 😙
I've found my kindred spirit! Love you, Alex.
Alex, get your won channel!!! you are so enjoyable and enthusiastic and adorable
Isn’t he fun?! We have done three videos with him and I kicked off his latest book tour when I spoke with him at the keynote luncheon for Nantucket by Design!
Как интересны дома творческих людей , но дом Алекса интересен в двойне, ведь у него такое трепетное отношение к тому , чем он владеет и делится со зрителями своими сокровищами. Восторгаюсь передачей и часто возвращаюсь к просмотру повторно испытывая эстетическое наслаждение от той классической, высоко-профессиональному подходу и ведущей и хозяев !!! Спасибо вам большое !!!
Couldn't agree more!!
What amazing patterns. I could only dream to be invited to a dinner party like that. Thank you 😊
Our pleasure!
Alex, my favorite color is blue . ...You are my favorite designer . Love the way you set a table and conversation ,it’s priceless !!!
OMG! Every corner of this house is picture perfect for a magazine! Insane!
Glad you like it!
Gorgeous!!
What a cool, happy person! Hooray for joie de vivre!
He is so fabulous and I love his sense of style and flair! Also I can see how well you two enjoy each others spirit! Great fun upload!
We agree!
This led me on quite a journey: I decided to look for china at an auction house and when I clicked on one, I saw a very familiar piece of furniture. It was my outdoor furniture that my great aunt had bought in the 50's that my parents inherited. No one liked it, but I thought it was pretty groovy. Turns out it was designed by Walter Lamb. I was able to auction it off and it paid for the remodeling of my entire back yard AND a new set of outdoor furniture! So, thank you!
I still haven't bought that china... but with the COVID lockdown, I haven't had the opportunity to entertain!
Great news! Glad we were the inspiration!
Always a pleasure watching ur videos
Thank you - so glad you enjoy!!
Love this one! That guest room is exquisite! I purchased Thomas O'Brien's Library House after watching the last video you posted. Have loved reading about Alex's extended family. ❤️
Pamela Hollingsworth Thank you Pamela and hope you are enjoying the book!
Wow!!!Beautiful 💗Love your collection💕
Be sure to check out Alex's tabletop company www.everyday-elegance.com and tell them I (Stacey) sent you!!
Beautiful show.
I just saw this video even though it's a year old. I was looking 4 videos that you made. I love this video. I have to say, I love Alex's collection because I have a similar collection and it's slowly getting bigger and bigger with joy. I also use my collection. I'm happy to see another person that likes the same thing I do. Thank you Alex and thank you Quintessence
You are most welcome!! So glad you enjoyed! We also did a Setting the Table video with Alex in New York City you would like!
What a lovely early Christmas present! I admire Alex's style and collections so much and that he uses everything all the time is wonderful ... I myself used some terrific Crown Derby this afternoon for a salami sandwich, no joke! Great and inspiring video...loved every minute !! xo W
will mac Thank you Will!!! And always look forward to your comments - I’m sure the Crown Derby enhances your enjoyment of your sandwich! Happy holidays to you!
What a gorgeous home and Alex is an interesting gentleman, would love to sit by the fire and talk with him.
Oh how I would love to have dinner there.
Alex seems like such a warm and down to earth person. He also has such exquisite taste..... in his home and outside garden areas.
Bebop Lady Yes I agree, I would love to have Susanna's job, she is a lucky lady.
@@beboplady1542 he is!! Glad you enjoyed!
Loving the cobalt blue dishes in particular, despite all of the other blue and white. I just have a soft spot for all things cobalt (like my kitchen backsplash).
I love them too! Alex sells them on his site
nice idea I learned in this video:
1. The look book for plate mat / table napkin
2. Each Cupboard (floor to ceiling high) contain one color/design/theme of plates, bowls, salt & pepper shakers ...
I'll will probably end up with 12 cupboards so I can have various looks for the entire season and special holidays/birthdays/anniversaries.
and that's only in my dreams..... LOL
bisdakdiay Great take-always! Enjoy your collections and table!
@@quintessenceblg thank you always for the fabulous tips. I love all your videos and I'm always looking forward to it. More power to you and your team, yehey!!!!!!
bisdakdiay Well Thank you so much!! Susanna and I appreciate your support!!
Love this guy! Love his home! Love his China patterns!
We do too!!
Love the tip about the liners.
