At a low point in my life, I discovered TKW. His warmth, his kindness, his genuineness, his pleasure in beautiful objects, and most of all his wish to share the good things in life with everyone, was like a ray of light and comfort. He has shown countless ways of improving how you live, how to entertain and how even the simplest things, like a bunch of herbs in a glass can give happiness. I wish the 2 Teds many, many more years of showing people how to get the best out of their lives, and have fun as well.
Ted and Ted live the lifestyle they sell. So many great decorating ideas here, even for the smallest apartment spaces. Open shelves, displaying colorful kitchen necessities, and covering up window views that spoil the ambience of your living space. Suzanne, once again, I love your outfits.
That Jasmine climbing inside was such a delightful surprise. It must smell absolutely gorgeous in there. Soon as he turns the key and walks into his home on a warm sunny day that fragrance must just envelope him. Really charming. Thank you for showcasing so well, yet another character-filled home full of wonderful creative ideas and real personality.
You can make a mini version of it by getting some jasmine plants at Trader Joe's! I currently have 2 blossoming on my kitchen sill and am hoping I can overwinter them indoors and plant them outside come summer 😊
Giving and receiving is so important in a relationship and it was so beautiful to see the symbology of their years of living life together showcased in such n inspirational way!
Oh my gosh this makes me so homesick for my life in downtown Seattle. I lived right in the middle between the Teds’ home at the Gainsborough on First Hill, and their shop on First & Spring. How many things I bought from both their shops. They are so magical. The Gainsborough, built in 1930, is a Grand Dame building in a wonderful old leafy neighborhood a stones throw from the high rises of downtown. As an urban hiker, I passed by it multiple times, and now, through Quintessence, I get to peer inside, at not just any apartment, but at the Teds’ apartment! Such a treat. 💚
I love everything! Ted and Ted's design aesthetic is just so comfortable and natural. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful and inspiring place to be.
My husband Ted, and I will have to visit your store. We live just outside of Seattle. Loved your home on Vashon Island. Thank you so much for sharing! Sincerely, Scott and Ted
Lovely. My home is quite small by American standards, but I've always said I'd rather have a second home than a bigger one. I love the idea not only of quality over quantity of space, but also of variety of scenery and lifestyle, which these gentlemen seem to have achieved across their 3 homes.
You’ve done it again with this beautiful episode. The Teds get it right every time - thank you for starting a weekend with peace, tranquility and most of all, style!
Open shelving and glass fridge doors are nice when organized but probably incompatible with children or untidy inhabitants. Perfect for this couple though. Thanks again Susanna.
I live near Seattle so when someone visits and we get over to Pike's market, his store is essential to the day. His book on partying, "Ted Kennedy Watson's Guide to Stylish Entertaining" isn't like any "how to give a party book" i've ever read before. He's so casual. I was like "really, it can be that easy?" That book changed the way I plan a party. I find him inspiring. Thanks for sharing your visit with him. This is the best channel on TH-cam.
Men with wonderful art made more special by wonderful properties. I was enchanted by every detail from the wine display, food kept fresh and, org, a pleasure to the
I live in Seattle and love going to both of the stores, they are so beautiful. When I was in one of the stores one day, I got to meet shopkeeper Ted and he was so warm and welcoming. Thanks for the peek into their Seattle apartment, is just lovely.
I love these sweet Teds….all the color…all of the pretty pictures on the wall….we too use cloth napkins…our friends always get so excited….Thankyou for sharing…hugs carolyn from Columbus ga
T & T, really remarkable work and ambiance. Thank you for sharing! Longtime Quintessence fan. Extraordinary features that uplift, inspire and enhance ones life! Much gratitude.
Loved this one ,they inspire me to always set the table with things you love, the older I get the more I want to enter the rooms in my house that have objects that I love, be it art from a relative whom I cherished or a shell from one of my grandchildren. I love the concept of color blocking in the shop and the refrigerator….the lemons in a glass bowl!
What a wonderful surprise…now we’ve seen all of Ted&Ted’s fabulous homes..each with similar characteristics but all with their own personality! I love the way Susanna calls attention to the tiny delights throughout and Stacey focused on the trademark color blocks these iconic Seattle shopkeepers use in all their spaces..shops and homes! So much fun 🟢🟡🟤
Love the ala grey gardens Jasmine ❤ I literally would plan a trip just to go to his shop. Even stay at their arbnb. I’ve followed his blog for years always wanting more. S. Perfect fashion vibe as always.
I recall myself drawn into this store after a gig downtown, first because their mono-chromatic window dressing screamed 'apartment finds' (based on color choices for good stuff among my space's palette). When the scent picked up; it were French obession, fine and hard-to-find botanicals, and artisanal qualities literally everywhere. I can think of no better place to splurge nor inspire when navigating my way through lifestyle upgrades and home-life improvements. Spectacular.
Their home is amazing and beautiful... I have to say I love this channel. I look forward to each video that comes out. Quintessence is just the best interior design channel on TH-cam so so happy that I subscribe.
Many years go I knew the Teds’ socially and have been to a few parties at their Gainsborough home. This was many years ago, probably thirty. They were such nice men and gracious hosts.
Thanks for featuring the Pacific NW! I grew up in both the Capitol Hill and Queen Anne Hill neighborhoods. I went to Queen Anne High School and thank heavens it wasn't torn down after it closed as a school because there was talk of that. It was turned into condos. So to see a building that is in the First Hill neighborhood is a treat. I now live in Tacoma, WA where there are still a lot of historic buildings.
They are so good at complementing and using wall color. Yellow isn’t my favorite color but my goodness they made it look fabulous in that room. How warm and inviting their home is but still quite elegant. Also, I need to try some jam and cheese now too lol
This video is packed with so much personality, great visuals and information in just under 12 minutes. I will definitely watch it over and over again. Thumbs up for sure from me! 👍🏾
This couple are real gentlemen. Love their home, shop and the whole video.
They are and so glad you enjoyed!
Susanna is an absolute master in politeness. She knows how to compliment the people she visits.. and she comes through as sincere and knowledgeable.
Thank you so much!!! I love my hosts!
Agreed!

I agree Ted’s joy is infectious and I’m so glad it uplifted you !
So heartened to read that! And what a kind and generous comment - thank you!
Very hospitable home
Cozy
Warm
Love chocolate color
Love the coffee color
White shutters are pretty

We agree! And Susanna always looks great!
Thank you!!
And I like how Susanna always dresses to coordinate with/complement the home that she's visiting!
I don’t even try to coordinate it just somehow always works out!
It must be subliminal! ;-)

It's amazing how Maximalists make a space not looked cluttered! It must be a gift.
I’ve watched this before and love it even more. These guys are great and so are you! More videos please🌺
Thank you Janet!! So glad you love the Teds too!

So glad you loved!!
Fun to see the Ted's in another of their homes. Great guys with great taste.

Open shelving and glass fridge doors are nice when organized but probably incompatible with children or untidy inhabitants. Perfect for this couple though. Thanks again Susanna.

It’s such a treasure trove of temptation!
@@quintessenceblgIt took all I had to keep from overdoing it. THAT is for when I return. Certain Christmas flavors demand it and soon...
@@KevinWJenner🤣🤣 I understand completely!
I would love to see Ted and Ted's home on Vashon Island.

I'm now craving a G and T with Hendricks.

The Teds have homes in some of the most beautiful parts of the country. I can see them having a home in Savannah GA.
They are so good at complementing and using wall color. Yellow isn’t my favorite color but my goodness they made it look fabulous in that room. How warm and inviting their home is but still quite elegant. Also, I need to try some jam and cheese now too lol
Same not a fan of yellow but that room looks great.
Oh my god ! I love it! But then again l love color.😊😊😊😊❤
So glad!
This video is packed with so much personality, great visuals and information in just under 12 minutes. I will definitely watch it over and over again. Thumbs up for sure from me! 👍🏾

This video was so beautiful and Ted and Ted were so relaxed, I was not ready for it to end!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!
So great to see people embrace color! I'm sending this to friends so they'll rethink their kitchens. A really uplifting visit, thanks so much!
Our pleasure!
Now I want to visit Seattle more than ever 💚💚💚
Beautiful home!
