At Home in Connecticut with Susanna Salk 

"The more you hang of anything, no matter the monitary value, the more impressive it becomes." I'm definitely making a note of that hot tip!

wonderful, wonderful video, opened my eyes. Thank you, Susanna!

FREAKING AWESOME.... OMG. THAT BARN. ok. I’ll quit squealing. Love LOVE LOVE it !!!! All. Watching again

I don’t have much money, but I have inspiration from Quintessence, and my mother’s creative genes!!❤️

So fabulous AND instructive! Thank you, thank you!!

Wonderful, Susanna! What a treat to see how you have brought the ideas and philosophies of others into your living space and gave them your own touch to create your own unique home. Thank you for having us over for a vist. It was a privilege and pleasure.

Lovely! Thank you for sharing your world and the inspiration behind it.

Lady, this is one of your very very best productions. What a fantastic summary!!! And I have go back and review some of the original shows. Well done!!!

Thank you for this video. I learned so much in this short clip. I’ve been having a terrible time choosing a fabric color for a new sofa. Practical or whimsical. I’m 75 so I’m going with the color that makes me happy. Whimsical.

THANK YOU SUSANNA FOR THIS SEVEN MINUTES VIDEO. BEAUTIFUL WORK DONE! BEST ADVICE, " DON'T BE AFRAID BUY WHAT YOU LOVE" GREETINGS FROM BELGIUM

Love love love!

I think this is your best video so far ...really interesting ...thank you

Love it!❤

Joy joy joy, thank you💕

Great video!!!

This is like a retrospective of all the years Quintessence has shared joy and style with us, all in one house. Thank you ladies!

This seven minute video contains an entire book. First, you provide the inspiration with your books and this series, then show us how to translate that inspiration into our own interior. Genius, as always. My home has changed and grown and revealed it's soul with your help. You're my hero. The dogs are mighty cute, too...XOXOXO

This might have been my favorite visit yet! Love it.

I just love how you put all the different patterns and colors together in a room to make it your own style. The designers are correct...buy what you like, add colors and patterns and add your own personal touches to make a space or spaces in your home look fabulous.

I love how this video represents what I'm sure so many of us do, we get inspired we learn and then we venture out with newfound confidence to try it for ourselfs. This is what I love so much about this channel, it's packed with beauty and inspiration. Your home is absolutely lovely and it was so brilliant how you showed your influence with the matching video clips.

This was delightful and so interesting to see how you pulled from different designers to make it your own! I want that barn!!!! 😍 Your doggies are so precious! 🐾

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your home! "Don't be afraid and buy what you love". I need to hold onto that philosophy!

Susanna, thank you for everything of beauty and ideas that you bring to me personally. I so...love that you let me into your home and then putting the beautiful ideas into use. Thank you beautiful soul for making my life, a little bit more interesting.

Valuable advice...be brave and use what you like...

Susanna!! Thank You so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. I love that you have taken ideas for all of the wonderful homes you have visited. I always look forward to your uploads.

Love the colors! And the puppies! And the scale! And the textures! And the antiques! And and and and 😂😂😂😂💕💕💕💕

Wow Susanna this video is one of my favourites. I loved it how you used ideas from other designers in your own home. I am in love with the beautiful and vibrant colorful rugs in your porch. What a beautiful home and I noticed how gorgeous the garden is. Simply stunning.

Fantastic!

I love this Suzanna! Thank you for all you have shared: being inspired and taking these principles into your own home. I enjoyed watching every one of your videos on this channel. It has been a refuge and joy this past year 💗

I am glad to see how you turned your home into the uniqueness needed with help of the homes that you engaged with. Thank you for your videos. I love them all!!!

I often rewatch my favorite Quintessence episodes for inspiration. Now, I can add another favorite: Your home.

Lovely! One of my favorite episodes was the Jill Sharps Weeks Charleston Home. I would love to find those tortoise drinking glasses you all drank from. :)

I really fell in love with Penny Morrison's place and Bunny Wm's spaces.

You're home is amazing! Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing so many fun, doable ideas for a cozy, unique home ❤ I always look forward to your videos. All the best!!

Lovely and I was happy when I saw my same rug that was used as the stair runner. A great reminder to be bold and be ourselves in our home. Especially now that we are home more than ever. :)

Still adore Alidad's London apartment... And his and Timothy Corrigan's experiences with yellow rooms is challenging me to figue out which shade will work here in rural Newfoundland.

Me encanto! Spanish for I loved it! So do able!

That green couch signifies an overwhelming desire to lay down and nap away an afternoon on it. Perfect size, texture & space for it.

Love it all SS..so many great ideas! xo W

As always I love your work, Your home is lovely and collected welcoming and personal ❤. Thank you and Stacy for sharing and always responsive to our questions. Your both the best. Ray Louisville ky

Bonjour Susanna and Stacy ! Hope you had great Holidays and that my note will find you both and your family in great health and spirit. I know from watching CNN that the past few weeks was a lot chaotic in the U.S., hopefully tings will get better from now on, although the pandemic is quite a "moment" to go through. Like you guys here in Québec city we are spending most of our time at home. That being said, I use that time to change things around my home, the inspiration came from a lot from the wonderful videos that you, ladies, provided to us. Funny enough, I was thinking of Alex Papachristidis this week when he said : " always have 9 yellow lemons on the table for good luck " in one of the video you made - I was putting some yellow lemons on a nice bowl on my table and I found myself counting them !!! That is one example of watching your videos is so wonderful, there is always something to be learn or be inspire by. Wonderful visit of your home Susanna, you did so well in so many aspects of changing or adding things. Bravo ! Looking forward for more wonderful videos.. in the meantime, I an revisiting some of the previous ones and they still bring endless pleasure. oxox

Susanna, thanks for showing us your beautiful home. You have such great decorating ideas and fashion sense. I still think you and Stacey need a TV series on HGTV. You two make a great team. Susanna, have you seen Nicholas Fairford’s You Tube channel. I think he is so interesting and has such a calming voice. I would love for you and Stacy make a video with him. Thanks for showing us all the beautiful homes

Susanna, this is fabulous!!! I literally just spent the day going through your book, "At Home in the English Countryside, Designers and their Dogs", to get ideas for my drawing room, which we are currently redecorating this winter. I love how you were inspired by some of your favorites and were able to incorporate the ideas into your home. Great job!

This Video is a very good inspiration and I think, I need more colors for my arpartment,

I watched this twice and saved this as well. So inspiring Suzanna! Thank you!!

What a beautiful use of bold color and pattern, you put everything together nicely. I absolutely love how you've taken the emotion from your experience in these designers homes and incorporated them into your own. Many of the homes you showcase have walls covered in collections of framed art, something I love. So something I did in my home is framed a collection of photographs from our travels and displayed them in our main living area. Not only do they serve as a reminder of fun times but they serve as a conversation piece for our guests. I also love traditional oil paintings in ornate frames. I had set some aside thinking they looked outdated.. I brought them all back inside and put them everywhere, even the bathroom. I decided that surrounding myself with things I love is always on trend. Thank you for all that you do, I absolutely LOVE your channel. Xox

Susanna, this is inspiration WELL EXECUTED! Your home is sophisticated and fun in the same breath. It has such a charming personality and I'd like to see what you did with the gardens.😍😍

Lovely home, and I love your pups and your barn. Great job Susanna.

Susanna - you looked gorgeous in that pink dress at the end!! Love from South Africa

This was fascinating!. I've been watching the channel from its very beginning and I've wondered how Susanna and Stacey used the ideas they surely picked up. Really well done.

Great piece. These videos have given me the courage to go bold. Redoing my entire main floor and am enjoying every moment.

I look forward to every AT HOME episode . I watch & re watch them all. Loved seeing your home & how you used ideas We are finally getting our own home this year & I can't wait to make on my own. Thanks

One of your best! Thank you for intense inspiration!

Beautiful details! thanks dear Susanna!

My goodness this was fabulous! Thank you!

And WHEN are we getting to see Timothy’s chateau?? 😜

Wonderful display of applied design ideas in your own personal pallet and style! You are an observant soul!

I love your home! This video is awesome. I love everything about it.

This was fun, been enjoying your channel so much. I love how you brought a touch from all your design friends around the world into your own beautiful home. Your dogs are so adorable too. Love you, Susanna, have a blessed year.

Thank you Susanna for showing us your beautiful home.

Absolutely beautiful Susanna, thank you for sharing your exquisite home with us your viewers.

This is a fabulous look at your bravery and style sense. The yellow velvet draperies are so good!!!Great video!❤️

On this dark gloomy wintery day, I have been warmed with a bright ray of Quintessence sunshine! Thank you for the uplifting tour of your inspirational home :-)

This is such a good video, merci.

Love how we're shown top designs and how they inspire a slightly more modest rendition most of us can shot for 🙂

Omg I have huge wallpaper envy!

Your home is truly inspirational and beautiful.

I'll add any home and homeowner who welcomes their pets and treats them like family is a 10+ in my book. 🐈🐕

How wonderful! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your own home. Truly beautiful.

I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great memories of your show!!! Great job with your house!!! I really enjoy!!! Happy 2021🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am so glad I found your channel! Instead of binge-watching on Netflix, I have enjoyed every one of your videos! You have given me so much knowledge about interior design, and how others live internationally. Looking forward to reading your books. Please keep shooting more videos! Love your home

Beautiful! Very clever recollection of styles! Great art work!

We so often get fed that we need to decorate this way or follow a trend, neither of which I do. I am inspired by vlogs such as this and have enjoyed seeing homes of others who make their house a home with their uniqueness and love of color and pattern. I also enjoy the journey one goes on to find things we love or experiment with color. This was delightful and interesting as are all Quintessence presentations. Please keep them coming!

This makes me want to rewatch the older videos! I love how doing all the home tours helped inform Susanna's choices for her home. In a time where every "design expert" is doing all 50 shades of white and grey, Quintessence is a beacon of color, pattern, personal style and good taste. Thank you so much Susanna and Stacey. This YT channel is a gem more people should watch.

My parents were hoarders. The lesson I've been attempting to learn is a simple one that goes back to William Morris (& for the slight misquote...) "Have nothing in your home that is not useful or beautiful". I aim for both. And I'm slowly starting to learn that the things I need to keep are the ones that have the best stories. Thank you for your study of beauty in the everyday. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

Woohoo!!! This is going to make my weekend even better!! Your home is lovely and just like a jewel box. Thank you!

Best advice ever! “Don’t be afraid, buy what you love!”

Wow! Absolutely inspiring and beautiful! Thank you Susanna! I’m positively envious!😍

Thank you ever so , for sharing your home and what prompts your always inquisitive desire to seek the source for yourself through the keen study of others. I just love all your selections, as it solely speaks of Susanna. I so admire your creativity and honest approach in sharing that style and class in our interiors comes for within. You were born with this. Love from Blue Water Pines. My phone got wet, so the new beginning of chapter two. Have a most wonder filled spring and thank you kindly for sharing the gift of life. K

Love your channel. Maybe it could show a bit more diversity? A smattering of Asian, African, Hispanic and other guests might be interesting.

Susannah, your home is just so beautiful and heartwarming! Interesting, lively, comfortable, and people and pet friendly! Colorful and tasteful design and decor! I am not trying to flatter you, I mean what I said! Well done indeed! Oh yes, and I really love your dogs, what little sweethearts they are!

Oh Susanna - I'm coming right over to sit on your outside porch. It looks so inviting. I can definitely see all the influences of others in your house. Thank you so much for allowing us in. What a treat!

Thank you. I have always believed when it comes to my home, often an apartment, do whst you love!! And do not be afraid of color, or mising something new with an old treasure or antique piece you have found.

Great. I feel inspired by your videos to try things out in my little one bedroom flat in central London. I'm thinking of starting with a couple of stuffed dogs to hang around the place.

How lucky you are! You get to pick the brains of the masters in the business and learn to apply the tricks of the trade in your own home. A very lovely home indeed.

Wonderful to have a new video from you! My absolute favorite design content. You really curate who you feature to the best. Always inspiring and it never fails to make me happy!

Your home is lovely Susanna.🎀 Thanks for sharing it, and also your little fur gems!😍😍😍

I love your videos and getting to see your home is quite special, thank you for sharing darling! Also this video has so much design packed into one segment it's marvelous!!

Gorgeous Suzane! You’ve managed to embrace excellent inspirations and turn them into your own private oasis by inserting your own identity into every room! Beautifully done!

Im from Connecticut. Live in Connecticut since '79. Wouldn't have it any other way!

That house speaks Susan from top to bottom. And the fact that after all her experience she is still learning, evolving, trying new things, I mena, how inspiring is that? Take care you all!

From an English person I loved hearing you say nooks and crannies! 😂❤️xx

All l can say is amazing your home is just beautiful.. it's nice to know your home is just as amazing and beautiful as the homes you visit

Great Job ! Looks interesting and classy !!

You have done a lot of great videos.... but this one was my FAVORITE

Your commentary is flush with your love of design..great to hear..and to see.

Yay! this is the type of video that shows how important is always to keep your eyes open to beauty. How wonderful and personal your home feels like Susanna. You can certainly see the inspiration you borrowed from the other designers but you made it your own. Bravo! Next home... Stacey´s! hahahaha

One thing I’ve learned about this as a whole is that nobody is following any trend nor style, instead they are just following their own. Thank you much for all these year of pure good taste PS. We need Susan’s wardrobe video... I always admire and love your sense of personal style

Such a beautiful home!! I loved it all. Thanks for sharing this video.
