  • During the week, gifted ceramicist and lamp designer Christopher Spitzmiller is busy creating his exquisite lamps, tableware and accessories found in all the chicest homes including the White House. But weekends find him at Clove Brook Farm, his country retreat in Dutchess County, NY where he is always actively tending his flocks, gardening and entertaining. In celebration of his book, A Year at Clovebrook Farm, we revisited Chris who shares the many updates to the property as well as tips on gardening, cooking and baking. Tag along as Chris shows us his expansive garden, flocks of animals and new pool house. Learn how he has translated ideas from his many mentors, from legendary decorators Albert Hadley, Mario Buatta and Bunny Williams to Martha Stewart. Watch as Chris takes us in the kitchen to share some favorite recipes. And listen to how Chris is constantly learning how to expand his knowledge and live the life he has always wanted at his idyllic Clove Brook Farm . You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!

    Nothing like enjoying my weekend and then a notice that Quintessence has posted another video to make it better! Imagine being able to live in that beautiful environment and just be! Learning to hang at home and really enjoying it is such an art. May we all become experts!

    “To be a relaxed host, that’s the most important thing” so true. Can’t wait to entertain again. In the meantime, these videos are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you. 🙏🏻

    The colors of your flowers are pure happiness, even the color of the couch in front of your pool house. I love what you’re doing and thank you for showing it to us!

    Wow, I could watch endless footage of this farm, inside and out. Just gorgeous. And the happy wagging tails of the doggers always makes me smile, you can tell they love when their dads have company over (10x the pats probably)

    There is so much beauty and so much going on and so much being shared at Clove Brook Farm! What a great place. It's just glimpsed in the video but a detail I especially liked was the sky-blue ceiling of the front porch.---Susanna, you had excellent observations and questions for Christopher. I would enjoy an extended, sit-down interview between the two of you, maybe out in the garden or in front of a fireplace and OF COURSE with cookies!
