At Home in Seattle with Ted Kennedy Watson & Ted Sive
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Tag along to Seattle, Washington as we visit shop owner and author Ted Watson Kennedy and partner Ted Sive in their charming city apartment! Learn how the Teds, inspired by an article they read, decided they wanted three small homes in different parts of the country - this being their first they acquired over 30 years ago. Hear how the Teds developed the color palette for the apartment inspired by their favorite Paris hotel. See how Ted melded function with visual pleasure in his much used kitchen where his signature green and open shelving are the space’s secret sauce. Discover what and how they collect and how Ted, a merchandising wizard displays it all with aplomb. Watch as Ted explains his tips for kitchen storage and organization and how it enables their frequent entertaining with ease and style. If in Seattle, but sure to visit Ted's two Watson Kennedy shops. And if you can't get enough of Ted’s tips and relaxed entertaining style, be sure to check out our other two videos with the Ted team at the Vashon Island retreat • At Home on Vashon Isla... and their Hudson Valley home • At Home with Ted Kenne... !

Susanna is an absolute master in politeness. She knows how to compliment the people she visits.. and she comes through as sincere and knowledgeable.

Agreed!
It's amazing how Maximalists make a space not looked cluttered! It must be a gift.
Ted and Ted live the lifestyle they sell. So many great decorating ideas here, even for the smallest apartment spaces. Open shelves, displaying colorful kitchen necessities, and covering up window views that spoil the ambience of your living space. Suzanne, once again, I love your outfits.

At a low point in my life, I discovered TKW. His warmth, his kindness, his genuineness, his pleasure in beautiful objects, and most of all his wish to share the good things in life with everyone, was like a ray of light and comfort. He has shown countless ways of improving how you live, how to entertain and how even the simplest things, like a bunch of herbs in a glass can give happiness. I wish the 2 Teds many, many more years of showing people how to get the best out of their lives, and have fun as well.

That Jasmine climbing inside was such a delightful surprise. It must smell absolutely gorgeous in there. Soon as he turns the key and walks into his home on a warm sunny day that fragrance must just envelope him. Really charming. Thank you for showcasing so well, yet another character-filled home full of wonderful creative ideas and real personality.

You can make a mini version of it by getting some jasmine plants at Trader Joe's! I currently have 2 blossoming on my kitchen sill and am hoping I can overwinter them indoors and plant them outside come summer 😊
Oh my gosh this makes me so homesick for my life in downtown Seattle. I lived right in the middle between the Teds’ home at the Gainsborough on First Hill, and their shop on First & Spring. How many things I bought from both their shops. They are so magical. The Gainsborough, built in 1930, is a Grand Dame building in a wonderful old leafy neighborhood a stones throw from the high rises of downtown. As an urban hiker, I passed by it multiple times, and now, through Quintessence, I get to peer inside, at not just any apartment, but at the Teds’ apartment! Such a treat. 💚

Lovely. My home is quite small by American standards, but I've always said I'd rather have a second home than a bigger one. I love the idea not only of quality over quantity of space, but also of variety of scenery and lifestyle, which these gentlemen seem to have achieved across their 3 homes.

I live near Seattle so when someone visits and we get over to Pike's market, his store is essential to the day. His book on partying, "Ted Kennedy Watson's Guide to Stylish Entertaining" isn't like any "how to give a party book" i've ever read before. He's so casual. I was like "really, it can be that easy?" That book changed the way I plan a party. I find him inspiring. Thanks for sharing your visit with him. This is the best channel on KZread.

Thanks for featuring the Pacific NW! I grew up in both the Capitol Hill and Queen Anne Hill neighborhoods. I went to Queen Anne High School and thank heavens it wasn't torn down after it closed as a school because there was talk of that. It was turned into condos. So to see a building that is in the First Hill neighborhood is a treat. I now live in Tacoma, WA where there are still a lot of historic buildings.

Black and white gallery is a nice visual. Does that mean the window stays open all the time where the jasmine vine came in, is the window from a covered porch, what about varmints?
The sort of shop I absolutely love, I would think I was in heaven in there.
They are so good at complementing and using wall color. Yellow isn’t my favorite color but my goodness they made it look fabulous in that room. How warm and inviting their home is but still quite elegant. Also, I need to try some jam and cheese now too lol
