A Review- Interior Designer Suzanne Rheinstein A Welcoming Elegance- Photography by Pieter Estersohn 

Her design style was truly impeccable almost with a nod to the French would it's beautiful symmetry an understatement her awareness of the natural use of light reminds me of bunny Mellon and her design principles this woman is obviously someone who I will study as a designer and Florist myself I am happy to have found her and I wish her Godspeed

Oh thank you for showing the wax seal truly a treat

I love how your jewelry reflect the colours in the books, how lovely.. Always look forward to your books, thank you 💕

Loved your very interesting lesson an the wax seals. Thank you

I’m so glad Suzanne Reinstein’s beautiful work will live on in her books. Thank you Mary for this review and the elegant section on the gift of a handwritten letter with a lovely wax seal. 💕💕💕

Matching jewelry to the book's cover wasn't lost on me. Such a thoughtful detail.

Beautiful and very informative / interesting portion about wax seals ❤

Mary thanks for the information on the wax seals, especially the part about the popes and how the ceremoniously attend to the seal after death. We used wax seals on our 25th wedding anniversary invites ( 28 years ago). I remember the many comments about how special that was to receive an envelope with a seal. Do you know if they can still be used for mailing? So many changes at the post office. Thanks for a wonderful & beautiful book review. She was a special lady.

Thanx for posting, till next week🥰

I recently added 2 new books to my large collection of home decorating books ~ after I saw your review of them. Thank you for bringing these to us each week and wishing it was twice a week. 😊

What a beautiful book. Thank you for the seals and the information...I agree nothing can replace a handwritten note/letter.

Thank you for another lovely, peaceful video. Such a wonderful memorial to her beautiful design. The sealing wax, letter writing …. So nice to see.

I just received this book yesterday. Looking forward to getting into it as well as your review. Always learn more here.

Ms Rheinstein had a classy touch. Her style reflected elegance and special warmth in all her decorations. She was a very giving person. Thank you for today's book review and for showing us your very special collection of seals.

Such a great unique channel 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Thank you Mary for another exquisite book! I enjoyed it very much and think I'm going to purchase this one. I enjoy the wax stamps and appreciate receiving mail with that on there. I purchased one myself a couple years ago and that I enjoy using it. Looking forward to the next book.

I almost didn't watch this video because of the radioactive green on the walls and the ceiling. Was I ever surprised, I really liked this designer's style. Thank you, Mary for all your hard work. My husband and I just moved into a new house, and I didn't know where to start with decorating... But this channel has given me boatloads of useful knowledge. Have a wonderful day 💐

Thank you for sharing this very special book. I really enjoyed your lovely stamp collection and elegant writing desk. 🌷

Thank you for yet another beautiful video on a decorator I was not familiar with, and a thoughtful tribute to Suzanne Rhinstein, whose life was devoted to the comfort & beauty of fine interior design, I particularly like some of her color combinations. I especially enjoyed the latter part of the video about the hot wax seals---still used today by some, as well as in the days of the Middle Ages! I have always loved how elegant, and so very personal, a letter with a wax seal and an ornamental initial can be. It is such a regal way of leaving an elegant impression! Letter writing has almost become extinct in an age where time passes so quickly---yet sometimes simple things, that add such deep meaning to Life, get ignored! I am reminded of all the letters and cards that I have kept close to my heart for so many years; I remember my mother's beautiful penmanship and her special writing instrument that no one was allowed to handle. I so appreciate your sense of meaningful connections to Life, Mary---that is the special element included that I so enjoy when I watch your videos! Love & Light!

What a sad but also beautiful story. Having some worldly possessions stored away to have them burn up can be quite devastating but it also reminds me of a passage in the Bible about coveting our possessions only to have them stolen or eaten by moths. In this case fire took them away. So her idea to move on is EXACTLY what one should do for none of it is truly ours but only in loan.

Such a lovely and beautifully featured designer, you capture the essence of the design with such a unique and thoughtful presentation, thank you!

Thank you Mary, a beautiful tribute to Suzanne.

❤❤❤❤❤

Hello Mary, Thank you for another great book review. I enjoyed following along with you as I look through the pages seeking out how fabric and carpets were used in Suzanne's designs. I was so saddened to hear Suzanne passed away shortly after this book was published. I imagine her to be a lovely person, and I definitely agree with her belief of "home". I love the idea of sealing wax however never thought of using it. I usually place a sticker of some kind on the back of my greeting cards and sealing wax would be unique in today's hectic life! I'm going to look for it! Have a wonderful day. Hugs! :)

I love your Victorian bangle bracelet! I have a collection. It looked lovely in your video with your watch and green beaded bracelet.

Sad for the world to lose such a multitalented designer. Fortunate that her legacy lives on in her wonderful books she left for us. Her ability to create timeless beauty was extraordinary. I especially loved her bold, exuberant, green lacquered ceilings and walls. Sealing wax is such great fun! Yes, I use it. In our fast paced world of quick emails, any person who receives a hand written note and an envelope sealed with wax should feel honored. It is wonderful to revive forgotten practices of old that add class and elegance. As always, your video was a delight, thx.

Beautifully designed and presented review gorgeous rooms thoughtful commentary on who knew the Popes only get one signet ring and they destroy it when His Holiness dies Seals on rings are worn these day's people m8ght not notice the intricacies of the designs but they have huge sentiment for the owners

Thank you for the review of this beautiful book. I just love your videos.

~What a wonderful sole! Her work just spilled beauty out like water in every project! ~A life well lived. 💫 Love this!

Restrained elegance, indeed. I enjoyed every page you showed us and will add this book to my wish list. Thank you for a great review Mary! I also enjoyed your wax seal information and tutorial. 🤗 Side note: I ordered the "return to pretty " book thanks to your review and I started a little wish list for our bedroom make over. Thank you so much for your reviews and inspiration! By the way, I also gifted the book to a friend who also needed little inspiration!😊 Have a wonderful weekend Mary!

Suzanne's beautiful interiors resonated with me. (I guess I'm leaning classic/traditional.) I loved the moody green bedroom. 🌿

Thank you for another lovely video. The wax seals brought back memories from my childhood. I lived in seven countries while growing up. 😊

Indeed...

She left beauty in world what a great thing to do may her beauty live on alway hard when some one of value leave the world ❤. 5:17 5:18

All my life I have lived beautiful homes

Thank for such a beautiful book, a mixture of beauty and sadness. I love the music that you select for your videos. Please don’t forget my offer.

RIP 💔 🙏BEAUTIFUL SOUL
