At Home on Fifth Avenue with Howard Slatkin 

Homes like this deserve at least a half hour special.

He has a true gift for bringing theatrical oppulance to life. My favourite designer ever. 💕

I love his soft voice! That flower sculpture is just divine!

charming man. i like that he loves books so much. and that he emphasized just talking/listening to his guests.

What an absolute masterpiece of a dwelling. Amazing.

I'm speechless ... it's all so grande and beautiful!!! Every room was like a jewelry box!

Absolutely love his apartment! Just like jewellery box.. Amazingly decorated! Incredible Detailing! Susan you are the best I love you channel❤️❤️

I absolutely LOVED this magnificent and stunning home.... my favorite of all episodes... !!! I can only dream of such a home... Well done you Mr. Slatkin...❤️✨

His house is stunning ;-) My mouth would of dropped as well once I stepped in. All the beautiful details. I want a home like that ;-) Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding and a real tour de force. If an interior design is over the top then you really can't hold back and Slatkin has resisted any temptation to do so. This transcends being a home and has moved into the realm of art. I note that his home is now on the market and I hope that a prospective purchaser will appreciate everything that has been put into this apartment and that it is not bought by a philistine who "renovates" everything and destroys a masterpiece.

Faaaaaabbbbuuuulllooouuuussss!!!!!! Howard.

Very formal, yet looks surprisingly inviting, cozy and comfortable . A masterpiece of curation! 🌿

This house is so cozy and romantic. CHEERS to Details!

Maybe my favorite. The ones who layer on the beauty, antiques, paintings, textiles, etc. blow me away.

Love the theme!! I remember this apartment from House and Garden. It was stunningly magnificent. Then came the book and now a video. I'm in heaven.

This décor is truly over the top in every sense of the word ! But... It is truly beautiful, inspiring, a gift to the eyes, gorgeousness in the living expression ! The details reflect the great taste of Howard. It is an inspiration for us that loves beauty and style, to use and show our beautiful things. Thank you so much for posting this video which is a living piece of art !

Thank you Howard! Truly exceptional. Rewound several times to examine the detail more closely. 🙏

Oh my goodness, I’m rewatching this again and again 😍

LOVE all the Quintessence videos...one can NEVER have enough BEAUTY in life...!!!

this is so magnificently decorated

Some people do not know what a blessing it is to be surrounded by beauty and positive artistic people. This is truly a wonderful life, the fact that you can create such a delight environment where you can spend time and live your best life.

That is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seeing

Some places are worth watching over and over again. His is something new everytime.

WOW that wasn’t just a tour that was an experience ❤️

This place is absolutely amazing and I love love love this fabulous apartment. Thank you for sharing

Howard is my favorite. every room is like a precious jewel box.

A truly grand and magnificent look, but I am glad I am not responsible for the dusting!

I love it! I built my home 10 years ago in a plantation look. I’ve been decorating mine for years, golds on walls and ceilings, needlepoint rugs with French baroque mirrors, French lamps with yards of silk. Large paintings and one thing I do is collect French urns, I have Orchids in every room... Another thing I collect is bergere chairs, there’s nothing more beautiful than a silk down stuffed bergere..It’s always a work in progress but lots of fun especially finding a remarkable piece all by serendipity.......One more thing, beautiful electrical sconces, I’ve tried to incorporate them in all my rooms plus large antique chandeliers..

One of my favorite homes, simply stunning and a nice down to earth owner

This has to be the ultimate example of Fifth Ave taste, a capsule in time ,,,, overwhelming but I could spend a year just examining each detail ,,,, couldn't live in it but love it ,,,

I just love his over the top ornate style, so cosy and comfortable and homely.

everything is just exquisite. you could be a guest in his home for years and still continually discover something new and exciting...each and every day

Susanna. Seriously. I have GOT to go in there and make dinner. I can't keep doing this binge-y thing I'm doing with your videos. So PLEASE, let me go....oh..okay, maybe one more.

It's so deliciously cluttered but in the most elegant and tasteful way. I love how various objects are put in place and while they are of different design disciplines, it looks well put together.

He absolutely has the most opulent aromatic candles around! They actually transport you to an opulent setting such as within the inner realms of his creatively imaginative universe and home! Luxe X 1 million!

One of the best apts I’ve seen in Manhattan! Great job Susanna!

I've seen this home on tv here in England he gets the balance of it just right without it going ridiculously ott ...genious

Omg!beautiful and breath taking!!

How gorgeous is that 🥰 I am glad I am not the only one to have piles of books around their bedroom.😂

Very interesting comment from Mr. Slatkin: "If you've got a certain budget or you've got only enough time to focus on something, I'd rather say put it in the things you touch every day" That is good commons sense.---I went back in the video to look at the cup or tumbler in his dressing room so I could get a better look at the pens. I think I saw two Mont Blanc pens in there. I'm not surprised! I'm on "...a certain budget" myself but I have some nice pens, nothing really expensive except for a Mont Blanc that I found and that no one ever claimed despite my lost-and-found ads and signs and I like to select the pen I'm going to take with me when I go out for the day. I'll put it this way: Have, enjoy, use!

What a blessing to be surrounded by artistic and stylish people.....I wish I...

You Mr Slatkin are one truely Elegant Man.. one after my heart, I also love monograms and all the Old World touches you put into your home so thoughtfully. I can see why you are such a sought after Designer a rare talent in todays world.. Never stop creating such beauty along with function. Your parents are also Elegant people.. This apartment is the epitome of Beauty..

Wow, what can I say?! Howard has magnificent and astounding talent and taste. Fantastic!

I like that he seems so lovable and Present!

I remember Howard Slatkin from House and Garden years ago. He did an Addison Mizner estate in Florida, which was replete with pattern and design: it was mesmerizing. I have been dying to imitate his drapes in that drawing room from that estate but haven't quite found the right red, white and blue fabrics. And his apartment is truly resplendent. I love someone who knows how to live. It is a gift to be surrounded by such exquisite treasures. I believe surrounding yourself with beauty feeds and nourishes the soul. I envy you being about travel around and visit these stunning residences, to see the reflection of people's personalities and dreams (and their spirit) in these interiors.

A very elegant and beautiful home. I admire Howard and I love his book. Such an inspiring person. I have seen this video so many times, I always love to come back xx

Wow 😳!!.....Love it. But, wish she would let people talk.

It is truly magnificent! On the other hand, it gave me a feeling of heaviness, as if my soul is trapped in all its earthly possessions.

I love Howard. Such am unassuming soul and his apartment was a piece of Art. Thank you Howard for sharing.

I know you should never argue about religion and taste......and that is what makes your channel spectacular. It caters for every thinkable taste!! What a pleasure!!

I love 5:08 to 5:12 in the vlog. The quarters in the glass bowl and all the accessories I have the same in my closet and something about those coins make it so nice. Thank you for continued inspiration.

He's So Chilled 😎 The Abundance of Collective items in His Home is Overwhelming, But at The Same Time its Elegant ,Intimate and Intresting. Oh Yeah. and Cozy I Like 👍

what an amazing apartment and He is so lovely :) I am really enjoying your channel and the inspirations from it. Please come to Europe more often :)

Every house or apartment is so personal and so rich.

Just so fabulous........ not for everyone, but a pared down version would be for me. So exquisite. That bedroom! Simply beyond.

Wow there’s so much to see in this one place. Fifth avenue home, how charming and to top it all off with a beautiful elegant dinner!

Such luxury! Thank you for sharing 💝🌹🌺

Loved Howard ❤️what a gentleman ! Lovely home my type of home I would enjoy 💎

Howard’s private and personal space blew me away. His attention to the minuscule details sets him apart from the crowd. I would love to spend a minute, or two or hours in his screening room getting his take on nothing just to hear his voice sing fresh design... ❤️

I love the way your crew ,Stacie? Films the rooms. My nearly blind eyes are allowed to appreciate and see the rooms. The style.and design can be appreciated, inspired. Most jump around so much I have no idea what is there, very frustrating. I watch h Quintessence episodes over and over. Thank you.

Why is this programme so short😞I couldnt see much ,and it finished suddenly

Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely!! Amazing!!

Wonderful, beautiful, I wish I could have seen more details. OMG, his closed is perfect I got jealous. 🥰

How fun to see this beautiful home!!! wow!

So stunning!!!! Opulence at its most enthralling

Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

That was Not long enough at all! More! More!

This is one of my favorite ones and memorable cause of the comments she has and his very interesting soft voice along with all of the details. Comments like howard go to town on this one And orient express And 'work on your organisational skills', tongue in cheek. That soup looks really good btw.

Beautiful .🌻

Every time I watch this I think, it was way too short so that's why I go back and re-watch it!
