At Home with Schuyler Samperton in Connecticut
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Tag along to bucolic Litchfield, Connecticut for a behind the scenes visit with interior and textile designer Schuyler Samperton. Moving back to the east coast after years in Los Angeles, Schuyler successfully combined her laid back west coast style and refined east coast sensibilities into a 19th century farmhouse now brimming with color and pattern. Learn how she incorporated treasured heirlooms from her parents and meaningful memories of all her four legged family members into a home that resonates with personality and love. You’ll see how Schuyler’s many layers all work together for a maximal effect that has depth, warmth and visual interest, all with a youthful and romantic vision - think Byron not Hallmark. With an approachable attitude and inclusive inventiveness, Schuyler’s interiors are unique yet comfortable and easy to live with. And watch to see the story of how a special bed influenced her and her partner’s decision to buy the house. Schuyler’s textile collection is consistent with her love of vintage style and ability to translate that into fabrics that are vibrant and colorful with an old world vibe. Schuyler may be new to Connecticut but her house feels like she was always meant to live there. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com

@Bradford C, I couldn't possibly agree with you more. It has reached the point that if you have subscribed to one decor channel, you have subscribed to them all. The white, gray and some black has every kitchen looking exactly the same, and modern furniture has little differentiation. No personality, no personal effects, and no color. It sends me screaming into the hills. Except, that is, for Quintessence, who is our strength and refuge from the bleak and the blah. I am not saying the white and gray doesn't have its own beauty, I'm saying that it leaves me cold, uncomfortable, and wanting color, art, photographs and so much more.

@@kimclarke5018 Antique Swedish furniture (antique means over 100 years old) are beautiful, like Gustavian furniture, and they will last for hundreds of years. The "vintage" or "minimalistic furniture", is a sad and toxic story and has nothing to do with craftsmanship, proud history or real quality. It started as an political statement in the 40s, and are today sold as "fashion furniture". There are no cabinet makers or furniture masters left..only the emperor and his new clothes.

Okay, 4 minutes in, and must say, it's so good to see people not shying away from glorious color. Color is a gift. Let's unwrap it and use it! The English country home aesthetic is so warm, comforting and inviting. It makes you want to curl up on one of those lovely sofas with a book or a friend, a coffee (or tea!), and enjoy some time out. Just charming!

I like to see so many beautiful and traditional patterns that “play so well with each other”! I love a coordinated, custom look where upholstery, wallpaper and accents can be thoughtfully and beautifully planned! It reminds me of my childhood homes my parents either custom built or just custom decorated. Having an entire line that compliments each other affords so many wonderful possibilities and certainly makes life aesthetically pleasing and decorating much easier. Brava, Schuyler! However, I have to say, the little nod to dogs in every room completely stole my heart! 💗

I’m always envious of someone who feels a design style in their soul instead of just flipping through social media, magazines, whatever and coming up with something that half suits them half suits the trends. To see someone stay true to themselves in their design choices and not think twice about trends, even over decades, is rare and a key factor to consider when evaluating our own design journeys.
Love the use of color.

Beautiful house, CT is where I lived and love.
have always loved her style!
In this video, I got to be a woman and a little girl all over again. Like Schuyler said, she felt like Goldilocks when the bed fit, and Suzanne said, the "fabrics all play well together". The house has dogs in every room, which means she's a girl after my own heart. I grew up in Northern Virginia in a colonial style house, which will always make the most "sense" to me. My dad made the journey into Washington D.C. each day. At 2:52, if you look at the video, it looks like she has a nearly full-size horse in her house and it's not until later, when the camera has moved, that I realized it was a much smaller horse in the middle of a tabletop. I had a good time "at Schuyler's house" today.

Everything is not for everybody, but the mix of patterns and textures is exciting for me. I love the old furniture and use of unfinished projects. The clean white paint on the crooked boards of the barn was the perfect backdrop for the elegant table setting for the expected guest. 🍷🍷🍷
I LOVE her gorgeous home! While I would not decorate the way she, and some other homeowners would decorate (if I had the money!), I think there's plenty of room to consider everyone's style, and we can derive pleasure and inspiration from all the ideas! The dialogue is very descriptive.
Everything in this home is beautiful but I was almost overwhelmed by the two Chinese (?) dragons that Schuyler said came from her parents! They are just about THE MOST eccentrically fabulous things I have ever seen.

It sounds like she is not 'done' decorating (though are we ever really done, lol?), but the family pieces and favorite items she's chosen as anchors have a lot of impact. Having significance to the person is more important in my mind than labels or how upscale the store is where something was purchased. You can tell she is a dog person, and loves life. Creativity is a gift to share with others. It would be so fun to wander the house and grounds.
