There are many ideas for decorating in this video. I love the small dining room.
I agree!!
I fall in love with houses like these.
👍🏻👍🏻
Cannot miss my favorite vlog channel.
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Loving the "organic" quality to this house and the voice-over describing the difference between the interiors they design and the one they live in.
Susannah and Stacey every time I see a new video I feel instantly brighter! I have my own little wiggle / dance to the opening song.
Love that!!!! So glad the series inspires you!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A true creative home, full of books, art and inspiration. 🌟 Minimalism is so boring .
👍🏻
Love the Stamp home and LOVE their new book Stamps & Stamps Style & Sensibility!!! 💖
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow ! Love it , Yes ! A little too much for me , but I understand it, Ideas abound ! Take away is always live your life as well as you can ! Many of the things
Are available at Estate Sales or Consignment shops! If you lack family things . The Landscaping is wonderful , it reflects the owners taste ! Congratulations
on Perfection ! Ron
Thanks Ron! Glad you enjoyed!
I will always remember this one. So many of the featured homes are staggeringly gorgeous, but this is the one I could be comfortable living in. The future sees me watching this again and again. Thank you!!
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed!
This took a turn.... host doing the narrating. Nice change 👌......but also enjoy the interaction between guest and host.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That was my Mothers Day Gift 💗
So glad!!
What a charming cottage. I loved the antique and vintage pieces around the home. Like the weathered rags on the wooden floors. The cute vintage sofas by the window. Such a majestic frame by the foot of the bed. The beautiful garden set up makes me think of afternoon teas or lemonade in the sun. The list is long. If I was her guest, I would refuse to leave :D hahaha
LOL! Glad you enjoyed your virtual visit!!
You have a wonderfully English vibe but with the incredible luxury of a Californian climate which makes indoor/outdoor living so attractive.
Exactly!
Love your show. I get sooo many good ideas from clients homes. Thanks
Wonderful - happy to hear!
Hit pause several times to savour this charming home.
This by far was one of the BEST videos on this channel. I enjoyed hearing the owner speak and share her design ideas. This is something I would never experience in my life without connects to meat Kate (which is not likely). What a treat.
Thanks very much!! So glad you enjoyed!!
Many watching this will think it "old fashioned", but what it really is, is "classic". A big difference.
These images show such love for art, tradition, comfort, and individuality.
This really has an English sensibility in its style.
One word: Exquisite!
So true - thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Oh I loved this! I am so tired of all white, minimalist interiors. This was beautiful.
@@marybethalger984 so glad you enjoyed!!
@@quintessenceblg δάκρυα μόλις το είδα με αντιπροσώπευση πλήρως σοφία από Θεσσαλονίκη Ελλάδα ευχαριστω
@@liakliak7943 Thank YOU! So glad you enjoyed!
If only I could have fresh flowers all the time going on everywhere in my house- what a treat!
Weren't the flowers just beautiful?!
I enjoyed this tour with the owner's voice over and the repetitive music softer. Charming!
Happy to hear it! Thank you!
@@marquamfurniture if you're looking for artistry in videography that captures interiors the productions of Nowness maybe a little more entertaining for you! Edited to perfection actually! As far as Quintessence goes I find the subject matter so beautiful, the production is of no consequence! As someone who studied theater production sound engineering set design I have to say the production is perfectly imperfect and adds to the feel of visiting with friends or getting a letter from a cross country sister.
@@rachelkruitbosch3156 Right you are on every point. I've long been familiar with, and follower of NOWNESS 'In Residence' and 'My Place.' Rose Uniacke's London home is one I revisit from time to time.
Several Quintessence episodes are also lasting favorites. Apples and Oranges.
Thanks for your comment.
-- John
@@rachelkruitbosch3156 yes, the NOWNESS videos are beautiful - with the influence and dollar power of LVMH behind them.
Love what Ms. Stamps does with her nteriors and especially appreciate her very sound advice on matters of decor. Her comment on being so pleased when conversation ends at the dining table and she then knows her guests are enjoying her food reveals her as one answering to the highest calling one can follow and that wonderful and divinely inspired function can be expressed in one simple word: HOMEMAKER!
Wow, what a feast for the eyes!! Another episode I'll look forward to viewing again and again ♥️
So glad!! 🙏🏻
Lots of nice fabric and flowers in there!
Someone splurged on the florist! Notice how it makes the interior feel alive?
Such an important detail in this already beautiful home!
Yes! Kate ordered and arranged the beautiful flowers!
Yes! 🌸 And this is something we should all do for ourself ... Even if no one is dropping by.🌸🌸🌼
@@somepinkflowers I buy carnations for myself every week. They smell good & last for weeks. If I waited for someone else to treat me, I'd never have anything beautiful. Life's too short. I'll take care of myself!
Traumhaft schön 😍👌💖
Your videos are the only ones that I watch twice, I love this decor style, where more is more, elegant and beautiful.
Thank you! Delighted to hear that!
There isn't a home that you feature that I don't love. I end up saving these videos to view later. It's always a treat! Thank you!
Thanks so much - it's our pleasure!
I'm on my 3rd re-watch of this video!. Her Cottage looks almost as if it were nestled in the British countryside. All that volume of beautiful crisp cotton florals covering the sofas, chairs, bed and window coverings looks amazing. Gorgeous flowers and her long garden table make the outside just as styled as the inside. In love
So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching!!
Really enjoyed this video. Kate gift of flowers arranging was the highlight for me. Her arrangements are
so elegant but look so natural. What a gift.
I totally agree! Kate's flowers were beautiful!
Two things stand out to me in this interesting visit with Kate Stamps. First is the idea of home design striving to be "educated." I've never heard anyone say that before, but Ms. Stamps has articulated something I've always felt. Yes, I, too, want my home to feel educated, to express some of what I've learned in my life so I can enjoy it visually and share it with others. The second standout to me is that exquisite wall color in the dining room. People would look far more attractive, dishes and cutlery far more beautiful, and food far more delicious when wrapped in such a color.
"Ms Stamps" huh?
Oh my god, that front approach, the wild looking, rich green garden with that paved footpath. Oh and the sudden gorgeousness on my screen at 2:20...I'm speechless. Beautiful find! Thank you for this video. Imagine coming home to a place like this after a really busy day in a big city. Heaven.
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed!! Yes, it’s a little bucolic surprise hidden in Pasadena!
That yard was picture perfect! Thanks again for a wonderful video. I kind of missed the Suzanna touch though.
Grace and unpretentious. That was a wonderful 6 minutes! Thank you Stacy and Susanna. 💙🦋💙
Our pleasure - so glad you enjoyed!!
Exquisite taste all round and what house ! You truly have a magical job dear girls ! Hugs from France xxx
Thanks so much Stephanie! We do feel lucky! 🙏🏻
I loved your approach to this video and thanks for letting the owner to explain her thought process (and for slowing down the shots) so that we can appreciate this remarkable place as if we had been there. Loved it! Au revoir from Switzerland!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!! Love Switzerland! uf Widerluege
lovely home, Im a fan of the layer patterns and fresh flowers
So lovely and cozy! Wonderful! Thank you💜
Our pleasure!
Love this home!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Miss you talking though!
Have been saving images of this house for years. So excited to see a video of it. Owners commentary is a great idea. Hello from Australia.
Wonderful!! And thank you! Love our viewers from down under! 🙏🏻
How wonderfull, so glad you post this. 🌹🌹🌹Inspiring video🤩❤️I have to look it twice🤩
Thank you - glad you enjoyed!
Have watched every single Quintessce and this is one of my very favorites ever. Amazing house and grounds! Wonderful scale to everything!
Thanks so much! So glad you loved and we appreciate your continued viewership!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love it! So warm and inviting.
An completely new format and approach to this video. It was interesting because the host had something to say and was articulate, but I confess the badinage between interviewer and host, adds depth, interest and dimension. And I prefer the old format with the comments and questions going back and forth! I hope you will resume that again?
Yes we will. This format seemed particularly appropriate here and Kate is so articulate!
Thank you for again making my weekend that much more special! Eye candy for the soul! I could live there!!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!
I died! Wonderful!
These videos are always a monthly treat in these dismal times, and this one is gorgeous! Many thanks to Susanna and Stacey yet again. When the pandemic is over, I once more hope to see more interaction between Susanna and the owners. It's like visiting the homes oneself!!
I second that! I wait eagerly every month and it truly brightens my day =)
Many thanks! And Susanna will be back in the next episode!
Thank you Pernilla!
Such warmth and charm had me in tears. So beautiful and lived in and so much life. Thanks so much, Susanna.
Thank you for the lush eye candy tour of this home. It was a feast for the senses..so much to see and enjoy. I’m going to watch it again now. Happy Mother’s Day Susanna and Stacey. Thank you again. 💕💕💕
Thank you and Happy Mother's Day to you too Karen! So very glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely beautiful and thoughtful video
Thank you - so glad you enjoyed!
This is now among one of my favourite Quintessence videos. Thank you for this ❤️ I really enjoy your videos, not only the magnificent content but also the way you present and and allow the time to gaze at different aspects. The presentation is akin to how my eyes gaze would flow and pause around a room I am enchanted by. You really capture the essence of appreciation 👍👍💐
So glad - thank you!!
That home is so charming and beautiful. Just amazing all of the colour and patterns and how beautiful they all look together. So enjoy all of your videos, so beautifully done and just love your intro music, especially during these times, very uplifting music.
Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed the video and our intro music!!
I love your videos you just need to make them longer!! I look forward to New ones. I'm all caught up on all of them. Thanks for job well done.
Our pleasure!!
Only the best from Quintessence. I always watch out for your new content. Beauty, only beauty.
Thank you so much!!
@@quintessenceblg Thank you Susanna xx
@@schiatzeschiatze5002 my pleasure but I am Stacey (behind the camera and the replies here)
Eclectic, Eccentric at its finest!
So BEAUTIFUL...
LOVE that the homeowner/designer narrated her own tour... SO MUCH MORE INFORMATIVE!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
cozy, colorful, wonderful ❤️
This made me smile and I needed to smile today ...thank you so much
Our pleasure - happy to elicit a smile.
Odom Stamps was our architect. He designed a timeless French home for us in the late eighties.
How wonderful - lucky you!
Oh lovely! I live in Pasadena in a 1920’s home. We’re so lucky here that we can find the gorgeous vintage pieces that are so wonderful to decorate with and enjoy.
Lucky you! Glad you enjoyed!
We want to see more! 6 minutes is not enough, sadly 😭😭
We’ll take that as a compliment!! 🙏🏻
Wonderful video. I’ve watched it three times and ordered their book! What a treat!
Delighted to hear!
Imagine sitting inside with all those charming windows open to the rich foliage outside when you suddenly catch the scent on the breeze of summer rain on its way...what a heavenly home it is.
So happy to see you and this channel back!
Thank you but we weren’t gone - we publish every month!
It’s a very dreamy cottage! I feel like you’re in a fairytale!
I was out trimming roses this morning and you popped up. Miss not watching.This garden reminded me that all my trips to garden centers aren’t crazy. Plus I love color. Some times I find myself drawn to the plan hotel room design. Then I settle into one of your visits and realize no that’s not me. I love to be inspired by everyone kinda like the video you of all your visits and what inspires some of your ideas. We all draw from one another. Thanks you !
Our pleasure - so glad you enjoyed! Enjoy your roses!
Another gorgeous home; so very warm and cosy with amazing gardens and outdoor space. It's refreshing to see someone not afraid to go all out in layering bold colour, textiles and prints. I love the earthiness and richness of her maximalist style and work, and this lady certainly knows how to dress a table!
A home that seems truly inviting, warm and reflects the owner. I could just curl up for hours and be transported 😍
Yes it is!!
As someone with several hundred books in my home, I was impressed with the large collection of books in this home. A refreshing change from homes that just show off materialistic things.
Love the house and garden and everything! The little design dollhouse mock-up is a fantastic idea, a sweet momento for a homeowner. Too bad TH-cam doesn’t have an “adore” button I can click💕💕💕☮️☮️☮️
Thank you - we love that idea! ;-)
Beautiful home and wonderful inspiration! I now need to search out all things related to Mr & Mrs Stamp I love their creative though process. And I could listen to Kate all day...
Yes, Kate is so well spoken and articulate!
beauty in a home
"Grace and lack of pretension" ...perfect.🥰
Exactly!
Bravo ,que lindo !!👏👏👏👏
Lovely! Thanks for posting!
i loved the overvoice style, she expressed so much of her approach. and this could be my favorite video ... that is until the next one. cheers!
Yes, Kate is so very articulate!! Glad you enjoyed!
I like the verbal content but think her voiceover could use coaching.
You make me happy in these depression and obsession days.
Wh a t do you mean?
Things are looking up but happy to hear we can offer some beauty and happiness in the meantime!
Aw how sweet . . . Totally agree with you ☺️
I love what she described as how she decorates and changed the home by instinct love it. I garden by the same instinct and the vids of my garden garner so many applauds
Those watercolor marquettes are amazing!
Love, love, love these Quintessence posts! Thank-you so much!
Our pleasure! Thank YOU for watching!
¡Qué belleza! realmente disfruté muchísimo de ver esta hermosa casa.
Ambiente adorabile,grazie per tutto questo.
Oh imagine the joy of waking up to this episode! Sunday, tea, toast, and Quintessence. And, to my surprise you feature one of my favorite rooms of all times, the bedroom with the armchair and chessboard, it has been my top list of inspiration for years, it was so fantastic for me to see it on video in all its beauty, I always go back to it and draw from the cozy warm vibe it gives, I can see my self in this room reading wrapped up in a blanket letting the hours pass by, it is such a rare room! So great to see all the other spaces you have created too, what a true gift you have for creating warm inviting, and cozy spaces that one just wants to come and live in forever. I really enjoyed the voice-over of the video too, so clever in these times.
Thanks so much Pernilla! So very glad you loved!
Bonjour Suzanna and Stacy ! Hope you are doing well my friends. Now, lets talk about this house, what comes to my mind in an instant are 3 words : "Heaven in colors. " Voilà ! Although my description is simplify there is nothing simple about this little house and her surroundings. All those layers, all those colors, thousands of books, multiple bouquets of fresh flowers adding more colors and beauty inside and out of the house. What brought joy to my heart was, the table located outside, under those magnificent trees. In this segment, the star was the use of her bleu and white dishes with the display of those vibrant bleu glasses, again with a colorful bouquet of flowers for the centerpiece . Let's not forget the quick view of the swimming pool, where this little blue statue contrasts with the green of the natural décor: magic ! To end my long comment (as usual) this was a delightful visit of a talented designer. Thank you ladies, until next time, stay safe and keep enjoying and sharing beauty to the world. - Rosalind -
Thank you as always Rosalind! So glad you loved Kate's home and I especially loved the table in the garden as well!
sheer enchantment a cottage re-imagined into a well lived-in home.
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed!
Simply Beautiful!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
I’m a newcomer to Quintessence, but one thing I particularly enjoy in these beautiful videos, are the sheer volume of books. These are my people!
Welcome!! And we love books - and Susanna and I are working on our third - coming March 2022 from Rizzoli!
Just a few minutes in and I know this will be one of my favorite homes that you've covered. It's warm, cozy and so femme. I feel like the would have good eats, w/o even seeing it.
It is war and cozy - so glad you enjoyed!!
Timeless elegance. Simply stunning.
Indeed!
Hermosa esa pequeña casa, una joya.
So excited to see your new video!
Susan is watching it with great pleasure, and I'm looking forward to her videos with great longing.
I love this new format. Your voice, the explanations with the slow & smooth camera is was so soothing and informative.
Thank you, please use this format for all future tours. So relaxing and the perfect length.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Pasadena. There are so many beautiful houses. It's great to see how beautifully this one is decorated.
It really is!
This channel never disappoint! I ordered the book. In these times of staying home and working from it where clean lines, ordered decors and simplicity have given way to the chaos of life, this video is recomforting and guilt free.
Well thank you!!
Susanna, I just can't get enough of your series! You and Stacy really know how to put together a story of interiors! This episode has the best ending with you and black and white walking down through the garden away and around the corner. Keep these coming! Also ... I just need to know the color of the Blue Mint paint in the bedroom at 2 minutes!
Thank so much for watching!!! Perhaps DM Stamps and Stamps on Insta and ask about the paint??
Hi Rachel, I’m sorry to say that is one of the colors I mixed myself, almost 30 years ago. It is a water based glaze in a soft blue brushed on over a cream oil base paint. It makes the color semi transparent, as blues can sometimes be quite bright. Wish I had an easy solution for you!! I’m so happy you liked the video- the ladies of Quintessence are fabulous.
Hello! You don´t know how much I loved this video. I love mix patterns, objects ... We don´t see a lot of that in these days, maybe because of minimalism. I am not a minimalist person, so ... I am so happy because this home is so cosy!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The neo-gothic garden house is a terrific sage color.
Agreed!
