    As some of the other viewers mentioned as well, I was also very excited to see a new quintessence video. This home is stunning. I am not a fan of too much color in a home but after seeing this video I am changing my opinion. Every room in this home is simply breathtaking. I love the yellow room; (what a gorgeous yellow) but my goodness the black dining room is so sophisticated and elegant looking. I also put postcards or beautiful pictures in my mirror. My grandmother used to do it and I have taken this habit from her. The placecards the owners use for their gorgeous table decorations are really unique. I noticed some lovely china on the table. There is such a lovely cozyness about this home. Vibrant colors combined with beautiful artwork and antique furniture. I loved the kitchen as well and the fact there is a large table in it to sit at. And what a beautiful garden it seems to be. Thank you for this lovely video.

    Oh I gasped at the room being introduced around the 3:21 mark. Unbelievably gorgeous, what a statement, what atmosphere! I love the intention of the design, knowing that it was conceived to be breathtakingly beautiful and sumptuous in the evening rather than at 11am. Thank you so much for this particularly inspirational one. Love it.
