Love this channel, but I wish Susanna would wait for people to finish what they're saying - I really wanted to know why Sister Parish was 'mad' at Brian, and she cut him off midway through his anecdote!

@tieniestoffberg8597 2 года назад

Fully agree with you

@missybelmont9830 2 года назад

Susanna is the best home show host I've Ever seen, so engaged and half are her colleagues/friends, so she's very at ease and keeps the show interesting, fun, warm and delightful, no easy task!

@ruralangwin 2 года назад

Yes Susanna , I hear your excitement but take a breath and let your guests speak.

Thank you, thank you! Another fun visit, I always feel like I am sneaking into these homes via your pocket, getting the inside story and history along with the visual treat. The Sister Parish (one of my faves) history he shared was a bonus. The house, the garden, everything was fun to see, I look forward to these videos so much. You guys do a wonderful job, keep up the good work! Much appreciated by those of us who love homes with a personal touch. And a big thank you to those who are kind enough to share their homes with us.

Another winner! I love the warm, inviting, comfortable look of this house and décor. It represents for me the ideal home; a tranquil sanctuary with rooms that look lived in, full of beautiful interesting artwork, furniture, personal pieces and treasures. Awesome mirror in that guest bathroom; interesting mirrors really lift and create a space. Lovely gardens, relaxing porch and pool area. A true country retreat to unwind in!

House deserves a little bit more cohesiveness, artists however definitely March to the beat of their own drum. As long as the owner is happy matters most, but the grounds are Gorgeous!!!! I love how Each owner you visit you so much appreciate their individuality and will always point out at least a few things you do truly like 👍

@dorisriddle9212 6 лет назад

I love the undecorated look of this house. The layers and history of your personal items are just what a home needs. I wonder what all the kids whose homes are only gray, white and farmhouse style will have to carry into their homes of the future. They are all the same and so impersonal. This home is a treasure of personal style.

@quintessenceblg 6 лет назад

Doris Riddle couldn’t agree more on all counts!!

@juliancoulden1753 5 лет назад

There was nothing in this house I envied or wanted to emulate, but one has to admire the mans vision for the house and garden! Both are eclectic, the house especially but I am sure if one was a guest, the house and garden would be endlessly fascinating!

The Gardens are even better then the house lol I love what he did making that new home and garage look like it had been there forever but he was trained by the best in the business,. They were two of the finest decorators that ever lived from two very different perspectives.

@quintessenceblg 5 лет назад

Brian is so talented and yes, Parish Hadley was the best training ground possible!!

@nancywhitehead6397 5 лет назад

@@quintessenceblg Have you ever noticed how many of our most successful. talented designers of today came out of Parish Hadley?? Almost all of them still very much alive and well are still plying their crafts today to our great benefit and i do not know of any of them now who are training the next wave of talent that will shape our Design future, Not like Parish Hadley did. They truly were an unlikely but remarkable Designing Duo. And even now look at how many we have lost or who are approaching the age where they are no longer working but retired, They say that "The more things change the more they remain the same" I pray that is true in this case because the American Design now has no one equal to what Parish Hadley did. They were remarkably unique and way ahead of their time which is a rare gift. It is also sad hardly any Design books showcasing Sisters great talents are on the market today. The ones in print do not do her remarkable talent justice,,

@BuzzyStreet 3 года назад

The homes featured on this channel are true gems. Please consider slowing down the filming so that we can really see the house, even if it makes the video longer. The quick camera work just doesn't do these homes justice. And sorry, no one really cares what the interviewer has to say. What fans really want is to hear what the owner has to say. Thanks!

@halibut1249 2 года назад

The great room concept with living & dining merged together may not be for everyone, but in this case the furnishings and artwork supercharge the room with interest and lived-in coziness, and the eye draws it in like one big canvas. A separate dining room wouldn't have that kind of appeal. Outside the gardens are beautiful, esp the vertical dimensions such as the dense hedge that looks like a wall (maybe there is a wall under it). I wonder, was the house, built rather than bought, designed to take advantage of sunlight, for example sunsets on summer evenings illuminating and visible from the porch. Very interesting design features.

@CharlotteFairchild 3 года назад

@@quintessenceblg Having incorporated much art from 2 disparate artists into my home (gifts and inheritance) I find that classical and eclectic bones mesh instead of clash. The beds remind me of Roman beds. I love what Salk did with her home by incorporating many designers' ideas into her home. Many artists use checkerboard, and I have a grouping "Not Mackenzie-Childs" which may include that design.
