I really like how he's taken the library and then worked round all the staircases and balconies, its so cool. This is one of my favourite homes so far.
The design of this estate is absolutely incredible and the collections are fantastic‼️ They have the beautiful clutter of Bunny Williams approach and the grandeur of Martha Stewart‼️ On a much smaller scale, It is TOTALLY 👍🏾 my esthetic for my personal taste. I have many collections of bone China, dinnerware, sterling holloware, vintage plates and tureens. And I have other collections as well. I love it knowing that I’m not crazy. Lol 👏🏾😆🤓🍴🍴🍴🍽️🫖🍸🥂🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️
This is absolutely stunning. I’ve never seen such vast spaces look so cozy and inviting and intriguing. What amazing, meticulous design appearing so effortless. Bravo and thank you for the inspiration.
He said in a New Yorker piece that he does find it quite difficult to leave the home because of the beauty he created. He even put in a full barista station sectioned off in his office. The only time he does feel the urge to leave us to bang your mom.

@@svetlana7904 I agree he should never leave and he should keep his wonderful possessions until he is tired of them. I am getting ready to box up my 100 cherished teddies. I wish I knew what to do with them.
I love this house. Im called a hoarder and this is what i would like . Its not hoading. Sad someday it could all be wasting away deteriorating away. You know abandoned. Alot does.Beautiful@@farmers-daughter2000
Apart from the visual feast that us people of the www experience when we get taken into these fantastic homes. I have to comment how Susanna's enthusiasm and objective eye always take these tours to another level. Please never stop making these wonderful tours they are such a delicious delight.
This is a feast for the eyes.People with real lives and passions.So tired of cookie cutter houses by so called designers who preach neutrals and minamalism but plenty of consumerism.This is a beautiful authentic home with real people who own objects that are useful,beautiful and meaningful.A house with soul.
The first time I watched this, I was all: "It's a bit too cluttered for me," but the more I watch it, the more it grows on me. I especially love all the steps up, the steps down, the archways, the doorways, and all the nooks and crannies. There's just so much to explore and experience. It's so cozy, collected lived in, and beautiful. I love it! 🧡
Thomas has so many many incredible treasures that he simply doesn’t have the space to truly give them the moment to shine. I can see how Bunny would edit the space.
Lovely home. I particularly loved the master and adjoining bath. Very chic and masculine with an understated, classic look. Gorgeous video of a beautiful home and gardens.
One year later back again for my yearly dose of O'Brien ! I realised that this house looks like the inside of my brain ! When they buy something new they must spend ages wandering around the place looking for somewhere to put it. I have a store room full of pictures and antiques and cupboards here are there and the house isn't even finished decorating. I thought that it would be like a store that I could go find something for a particular spot one day. I have this thing when I say 'no more paintings' then the other day I bought five oil paintings, fortunately two were small, the smallest one being a bowl of strawberries in a lovely frame, who could resist. After watching so many 'build' videos where houses are put up with a nail gun, it's refreshing and reasuring to see houses built as they should be, good solid 'forever' builds. Thank you girls again xoxoxoxo
OMG!!! What a magnificent passionate place filled with such design, insight, collecting and love. I am late to the game, this aired 2 years ago!? All of the homes are so beautiful, I think my favorite is the school :) Thank you for sharing :)
Now, this is a house I love viewing. It is nicely arranged with history, loveable items, collectable items, so it makes the house you. I love vintage as well. Nicely arranged and beautiful.
Bless you !!! I have many collections and recently was brought to my attention to down size!!! What a nasty cuss word !!!!! Lol after viewing this episode I'm getting dressed will never drive 9 miles to the big flea market !!!! Keep collecting keep being happy and how I was brought up you can not change or even sometimes get along with the world !!! But inside my home I have resolve and color a.nd interesting collections !!
It's all about the garden...oh such a beautiful haven...and the crocks, pots, books, tables, art, collections, chairs, fireplace , rugs and banisters ...American, French, vintage, old and new...phew!
At first it's like wow, that's a lot of stuff but then it has a beautiful chaotic look to it that makes it work. I mean, it's lived in versus beautiful things placed in a house like a museum rather than having them because you love them and live with them like Thomas. He thrives in his treasures and it's easy to see why he gets inspired daily. I can imagine wonderful story book characters popping around a corner, running up and down the steps! After it's all said and done, you just gotta say, wondrous!
I could look for days through this beautiful home!!! I would love to see the floor plan drawings and exterior elevations. The fireplace is incredible. The celestial globe is just to die for! love seeing how others decorate and what makes them tick. Inspiring!
God bless Thomas for surrounding himself with all the beautiful objects he loves, but, geez, a minimalist like me would have a nervous breakdown in those houses. :)
Montgomery Cam Jr you are correct to say that about a minimalist, which I am not sure how I was going to survive this video. There are too much for the eyes and mind to see all at once.
Love the horse sculpture on the window sill in the school house, the tall brown desk, and the gardens. Thomas seems so nice, too. You lucky ladies...thank you for this!
ABUNDANTLY Awesome, there are not enough hrs, days, weeks or years to explore all the house & gardens afford. I am happy you shared with all of us & that he opened his home & goodies to share with us. It makes my heart race with happiness.💞😍💓
Wow! This was really a fantastic tour, with great comments by everyone. The uniqueness of this home & garden was stunning! So much clever thought went into the design & decor! These men truly are inspired by beauty in every form! Suzanna did an outstanding job of commenting & probing her host with great questions! What a fireplace!!Loved Suzanna’s awe of it, as well!!!
Spectacular. Truly. I love that the old school house photo was shown. It gives a wonderful sense of the history of the property. Thomas’s next book should be a fairy tale. Because that is what the gardens look like! Thank you once again for posting such an awesome home!
Love, love, love the garden. It has the same collected and lived in quality as the homes. The dinner-ware is lovely too. I enjoy collecting plates and some of Thomas' designs need to be in my collection. Thank you for this episode!
I adore everything about Thomas!! His beautiful staircases, which I too love, his American impressionism paintings, his furniture, his dishes, his gardens and more importantly HIS STYLE! I could just squeeze him till his little eyes pop.. Of course I won't, but I WANT too!! LOL...
The only entertainment where I even like the ads. I LOVE LOVE LOVE you, Susanna Salk. Thanks for being such a tourist on the planet. You inspire me endlessly. This home is a world in itself, and my inner artist is being fed like never before. BEST VIDEO YET, Quintessence. Can't you guys produce these faster, please?!
Thank you Susan!! You are so right the home is an entire universe! And we make the ads for our sponsors - glad you enjoy! Already working on the next - stay tuned! - Stacey (behind the camera)
What an extraordinary place! So much space with some many rooms both in the house and garden. How on earth does anyone find time to dust all those lovely things, let alone maintain the property!? You could get lost for days just exploring the houses, contents and the beautiful gardens. I am so pleased he called his garden a garden, not a yard? How can a garden be a yard?! A yard is what you find in a farm!
Farms have fields Outside the barn (the animal home) is the farmyard Outside a stable is a stableyard Outside the house is the yard A yard may have a flower/shrub/even herb garden in it but not a food garden. That would be “over in the garden”, to the edge.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.....oh for a leisurely hour ..or two...to explore and absorbed all this wonderful charm and character that this home has to offer to everyone who has the pleasure to meander within .
Truly exceptional... love the Lutyens touches here and there. Thomas is so talented in the way he deals with vintage style, without being too fussy. Reed & Barton will definitely be added to my Christmas shopping list - in fact, all year round. Thank you for this inspirational video tour.
I was thinking I needed to declutter, but now I feel I have the green light to continue with my shopping addiction of buying all the pretty things!!!🤗❤
One of my favorite properties you've toured. He's right that it's nice to see places that actually looked lived in. Also, loved your outfit and nail color in this one!
Watching this again, can't get enough of it, if I visited it would take me years to look at every detail and object and I love the back stories behind things. Yesterday I watched a 'visit' of Gwyneth Paltrow's home somewhere and as much as it was a nice house, there was absolutely no personality in it whatsoever, it was designed and built like a model home, as a space to impress. Thomas' homes are so full of personality that you have to sqeeze in sideways ! I suppose that the world needs both. xo
THANK YOU Stephanie!! I so appreciate this comment because it is exactly homes with personality (that express their owners) that we love to share. Thomas is such a great example. And I watched that little rather uninspiring video too ;-) - Stacey
@@quintessenceblg Yes true and the less said perhaps the better concerning interior design as seen by certain people. The world needs all kinds of taste otherwise where would the fun be! BUT when you see real design and taste then the rest just pales into oblivion. Hugs from France to both xxx
My aunts house was similar Decades of collecting financed by good jobs & still frugality and careful maintenance of current items. Packed full and walls full Funny, they were both school ppl but had no bookcase besides one above the kitchen desk they put in in the last rehab they did, about a decade before her death. Some ppl just don’t read 🤷🏼♀️ (he was glued to the tv if not at work) WEIRDOS (I own over 1000 bks & resources)
I bought the book after seeing this as I usually do when watching the girls visits. It is fabulous and allows us to see more in detail. Incredible house !
Lutyens home are exceptional and in certain areas he does it justice come over the pond and give viewers a treat with the lutyens houses over here I me in particular thinking of the salutation it's spectacular....a feast for the eyes
FInally! We are getting second place in NY near my office and was looking for this specific video for inspiration, remembering how much I loved Thomas's Library. I have been looking for a few weeks now and so happy it popped up in my recommended list! Love Quintessence. thank you
HOW how have I only discovered your channel. Another home that I could happily spend days in plus the garden. I love how he discribes his partner as the pacer so built a beautiful path in the garden. 💖💖💖
Great episode. Love seeing this on film - as good as some of the magazine spreads on his homes have been, this really illustrates the spaces and how they are used, and relate to each other.
Wow what a lovely beautiful gorgeous house and garden I loved it,perfect for tea time.Thank you so much .Good job,well done,God bless and peace grace you always 🌸💕🦋🍷🍷🍷🍷Quintessence Thank you so much I really appreciate it,nice channel 💕🌸🦋
Great great house...love every room, every space, every item. Modern houses can have great space and light, but they just can’t reproduce the intimacy, character personality and style of buildings like this..the mass of stairs, the windows, the levels, the fireplaces..never ever get bored..a continuing voyage of discovery..it really does tell the difference between old world and new...less Look at me rather learn about me...a triumph..of style and substance
I don't know where to begin... the style, the spirit, the thoughts behind every space on this houses are magnificent. You girls keep doing a terrific job. LOVED this video!!! Susanna you look amazing! already commented on your outfit :) see you next month girls :)
LOVE hearing from you Ignacio!! So glad you loved these amazing houses and agreed, Susanna looked great! Thank you again for your always perceptive comments - much appreciated!
These videos give me so much joy!!! This is what well thought out and executed interiors/lifestyle “magazines” on TH-cam can be. Keep ‘em comin’ honey.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes / heroines, who incredibly manage to keep these designers' houses and collections dusted? I think it would drive me just completely crazy.
Very beautiful house, wonderful back yard, wonderful designes pices, the fireplace are absolutely wonderful, and I really love the globe. I was dazzled by the China’s. I can image how crazy are to clean the dust in the house.
This by far is my favorite Quintessence home tour. The 12 minute tour seemed like 3. There is so much to see and yet it was only a glimpse I wish there was time to see more.
Beauty. Beauty. Fireplace was the first thing I noticed. LOL. Stairs are nice... until you get old.
I was thinking the same thing about all those stairs.
Very gifted. Thanks for making the world a better place to be.
What an adventure it would be, to wake up, grab a coffee and walk this gorgeous home every morning!🦋
Totally agree!!
Dream come true.
This is the most magical house and garden I have ever seen. Wow!
I really like how he's taken the library and then worked round all the staircases and balconies, its so cool. This is one of my favourite homes so far.

This is absolutely stunning. I’ve never seen such vast spaces look so cozy and inviting and intriguing. What amazing, meticulous design appearing so effortless. Bravo and thank you for the inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thomas is so talented!
This lovely man should not leave his home ever... amazing how some people live surrounded by beauty...
He said in a New Yorker piece that he does find it quite difficult to leave the home because of the beauty he created. He even put in a full barista station sectioned off in his office. The only time he does feel the urge to leave us to bang your mom.

This house and property is perfection! 👏👏
Thomas has so many many incredible treasures that he simply doesn’t have the space to truly give them the moment to shine. I can see how Bunny would edit the space.
Fantastic house ! a real house : no "theme", no "accent wall", no "casual" that looks untouchable.... Brilliant !
Didier Duplenne Exactly!! Thank you!!
Lovely home. I particularly loved the master and adjoining bath. Very chic and masculine with an understated, classic look. Gorgeous video of a beautiful home and gardens.
Thank you so much!
2:00 “There’s a doorway to the kitchen bedroom that’s down a few steps.” 🥰 “kitchen bedroom” 😍 I ❤️ all of this. ❤️
👍🏻🙏🏻
I never heard of a kitchen bedroom. This home is gorgeous.
One of my favourite homes to view. Absolutely fantastic.
So glad you enjoyed!
A feast for the eyes. Love all the charm this home exudes!!!

All I can say is wow!
I love the designers you visit. It has revived my soul with surrounding ourselves with what we love. These are true classics and not trend. Love it
Thank you so much! Love hearing that! We are not into trends!!
Wow, this house is amazing ! Wish I could see houses like this with a family with kids. Gorgeous garden too. Congrats to the owner’s terrific taste.
Oh my, imagine being the child who gets to grow up in a house of staircases! The fun!!

We do too - hence the series. Glad you enjoyed this special homme!

Whoa !!!! And I thought my house would flip over if I added 1 more thing.... Spectacular.... whole package.
i was mesmerized by all the beautiful objects!!
It's like a museum! I would get lost in a good way, so many books, art, special things and ART! love it

Mr. O' Brien's decor epitomizes his taste and lifestyle, and, what a wonderful life it is.

Beautiful home and very interesting collections. I'd love an adventure there for a day.
Beautiful, i have several of his item that i collected from target and others places. Love him. Thanks for taking me along.

Unbelievably happy seeing this video!
I was thinking I needed to declutter, but now I feel I have the green light to continue with my shopping addiction of buying all the pretty things!!!🤗❤
"Actual things" . Rather than decor things. I especially love the pale dove grey gloss doors. Thanks S, for sharing this wonderful home.
Exactly!! Thank you - glad you enjoyed!!
I am always so inspired by all your videos, thank you for bringing these artful houses to light and always keeping it so real!

Overwhelming. Sensory overload.
My aunts house was similar
Decades of collecting financed by good jobs & still frugality and careful maintenance of current items.
Packed full and walls full
Funny, they were both school ppl but had no bookcase besides one above the kitchen desk they put in in the last rehab they did, about a decade before her death.

Спасибо вам большое! Надеюсь, вы вернетесь, чтобы увидеть дома многих других креативных дизайнеров!
I bought the book after seeing this as I usually do when watching the girls visits. It is fabulous and allows us to see more in detail. Incredible house !
Isn’t it just amazing?! So glad you loved the video and now the book!!
Lutyens home are exceptional and in certain areas he does it justice come over the pond and give viewers a treat with the lutyens houses over here I me in particular thinking of the salutation it's spectacular....a feast for the eyes
I just bought Thomas’ “Library House” book. Love it, love it, love it.
So glad!!!
LOVE IT.. also his jazzzzz hands
Incredible space. Thanks for the longer video.
It is isn't it?! Our pleasure!!

Modern houses can have great space and light, but they just can’t reproduce the intimacy, character personality and style of buildings like this..the mass of stairs, the windows, the levels, the fireplaces..never ever get bored..a continuing voyage of discovery..it really does tell the difference between old world and new...less Look at me rather learn about me...a triumph..of style and substance
So well put - glad you enjoyed!!
I don't know where to begin... the style, the spirit, the thoughts behind every space on this houses are magnificent. You girls keep doing a terrific job. LOVED this video!!! Susanna you look amazing! already commented on your outfit :) see you next month girls :)

These videos give me so much joy!!! This is what well thought out and executed interiors/lifestyle “magazines” on TH-cam can be. Keep ‘em comin’ honey.
Thank you so much!! Much more coming every month!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes / heroines, who incredibly manage to keep these designers' houses and collections dusted? I think it would drive me just completely crazy.
It’s a team I’m sure
Probably supports several households completely
Wow. Great old/new house. Unreal.
It is indeed - Thomas is so talented!
Very beautiful house, wonderful back yard, wonderful designes pices, the fireplace are absolutely wonderful, and I really love the globe. I was dazzled by the China’s.
I can image how crazy are to clean the dust in the house.
Yes - so many marvelous moments! Glad you enjoyed!
Fascinating home. I watched this video three times!
Happy to read that!! Glad you enjoyed!
The garden is spectacular!
This by far is my favorite Quintessence home tour. The 12 minute tour seemed like 3. There is so much to see and yet it was only a glimpse I wish there was time to see more.
Thank you Regina - so glad you enjoyed!!
This house is so beautiful but my favorite is the garden. Those apples fallen down makes you feel like you're in the countryside.
