At Home in Los Angeles with Suzanne Rheinstein

[@JustAnotherRoger]

Revisiting my favorite video to pay tribute to this elegant woman. RIP Suzanne Rheinstein ❤

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you so much. Just heartbroken - she was truly a special person!

[@suewalker8586]

😢

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Her dark blue silk outfit was EVERYTHING!!! And when she revealed the worn arm of her chair because she so loves the fabric..I just wanted to hug her...Thank you

[@quintessenceblg]

We love Suzanne too!! And she has impeccable taste in everything!

[@BIGTODD250]

I was absolutely mesmerized by her elegance and that of her home. And that mono-chromatic pant ensemble showcased it perfectly!!! It was EVERYTHING indeed! Very Halston!!

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Outfit for a queen she is just wonderful 👏🏾

[@suewalker8586]

I just acquired an exquisite antique camelback loveseat....It has some slight wear on one arm, a small place. Now, I too will drape a lovely throw on the arm. Thank you for your transparency Mrs. Rheinstein.❤

[@suewalker8586]

Spend money on the Vases....then fill them with grocery store florals....fabulous!! I admire Mrs. Rheinstein's decision to buy an art piece with her income before she left a position. You can tell the Rheinsteins are thoughtful and careful money managers.

[@IMAInteriors]

I came back to this video for inspiration and just noticed how gently Suzanne touches Susanna´s arm when looking for complicity on her anechdotes. What an adorable lady!

[@quintessenceblg]

She is indeed - so perceptive of you!

[@IMAInteriors]

@@quintessenceblg well... it took me some time, this video was uploaded some time ago hahaha. but thanks Stacey. Take care :)

[@suewalker8586]

Don't you just Love that things in this home were passed down from families "who never threw anything away!! Susanna said it perfectly...it is a "gracious home"!!

[@quintessenceblg]

It is indeed and it was such a great loss losing Suzanne!

[@VelvetandToads]

The most extraordinary coincidence... An hour ago I was standing in my cellar here in Paris staring at a tub of leftover paints I’ve saved over the years in case I needed to touch up a paint job, realizing that none of them would match any of my current interior, and wondering what would result if I simply mixed them all together. I came up, saw the notification for a new Quintessence video, and sat down to watch it. In it I had the answer to my question: DRAB! Extraordinary. I’m also working on the biography of a 18/19th century bird painter, so her bird paintings struck me as well. Would love to know who the artist is. Such synchronicity. Thank you, powers that be, and thank you, the well-named Quintessence.

[@quintessenceblg]

Velvet & Toads Thank you so very much!! And love hearing stories like this - so happy to provide some inspiration and keep us posted on your biography!!

[@susannasalk7153]

#Drabsynchronicity 😉👍🙏👌

[@antoniahamilton3201]

Small world!

[@cindym6065]

That is a lovely home. I was thinking gracious, just as you said it. I like that Suzanne said her home is a scrapbook of her families' time together. That's a real home. Love it. Thank you for another wonderful episode!

[@quintessenceblg]

Cindy M Our pleasure and agreed - a real home!! 🙏🏻

[@glendaleesutardy1072]

I think it's been my favourite out of the series so far and that realisation has taken me by surprise! I could live there easily!

[@lilybaytoday]

The Chinese wall paper panels is what drew me in to watch this video. They are stunning.

[@quintessenceblg]

They are indeed! Glad you enjoyed!

[@BeaconHillJacksons]

Yessssssssssssss!!!! She is one of my favs! Grace, elegance, creativity, class, color!!!! Thank you!

[@quintessenceblg]

BeaconHillJacksons All true and we love her too!! 🙏🏻

[@Lglchick]

I adore that she refused to replace the exquisite, but worn, crewel fabric and merely tossed a throw over it. Another beautiful video!

[@quintessenceblg]

Lglchick 1970 Right?! Me too! Thank you - so glad you enjoyed!

[@rowaidafl]

Wow I love her house and everything from the furniture, the Chinese panels, her textiles, chandeliers, flower arrangements, table ware collection wow etc.. She is amazing love her Thank you Suzanne and Stacey for this inspiring video love xx

You are most welcome Rowaida! I thought you would appreciate this episode!!

[@deettekearns9092]

What a lovely woman. Her home is spectacular. I love how many family mementos she used throughout her home. And they all work together!

[@quintessenceblg]

Deette Kearns Suzanne’s home is truly personal and an expression of her interests and taste - the best kind!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@602redroses]

Such a beautiful dream home. I like that she uses the dining room even for breakfast!

[@quintessenceblg]

602redroses Yes! A well loved and used home!!

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

We use the dining room for breakfast. For most meals, it’s meant to be enjoyed. If you have guests you need the big table.

[@theresakraft4417]

Blown away and touched by her inspiration. Suzanne must be a wonderful playmate. She has a beautiful soul.

[@quintessenceblg]

Theresa Kraft Suzanne is lovely inside and out!

[@jcrane45585]

Of course she was raised in New Orleans with a piano in the foyer. How stunning is this house! I absolutely love everything about it! Formal without the pretense. Glorious!

[@quintessenceblg]

jcrane45585 Couldn’t agree more - so glad you enjoyed!!

[@angiejohnson6666]

Awesome. I love her home. BEAUTIFULLY decorated by a down to earth designer and gracious host.

[@quintessenceblg]

This is what a boss lady is! I love how confident and stylish she is with a big sense of humour. Thanks Susanna and Stacey for putting me on to these amazing designers 💕

[@quintessenceblg]

Our pleasure! We adore Suzanne and knew our viewers would too!

[@tigermoon44]

Some homes are just gorgeous but you don't feel you can touch anything, this home was beyond gorgeous and yet I felt that I could walk around and be very comfortable and as you said, not stuffy. It was a feast for the eyes inside and out! I would have been in repose heaven in her backyard!

[@susannasalk7153]

tigermoon44 so true every word!!

[@quintessenceblg]

tigermoon44 Exactly right! Comfort and elegance! A true home!

[@dianestewart893]

I've followed S.R. for decades. I love her style and enjoy seeing how her home has changed over the years.

[@quintessenceblg]

We do too! She is so talented!

[@Sam-zz7br]

I love that she has kept her home the same for awhile, instead of constantly updating. She obviously loves it, and that is refreshing.

[@randylehman8951]

I love this home. I love how Suzanne has blended her gorgeous pieces into everyday living. Every room invites you to sit down and be comfortable. As a fellow tabletop collector I am loving the pantry. Thank you for sharing your home.

This wonderful lady and her charming house were an inspiration to me.

[@quintessenceblg]

goodboybuddy1 happy to hear it! To us too!

[@ruthhovsepian]

💕💕💕 I love looking at interiors, can do it all day long, but I've realized that the best ones are those that the homeowner has amazing stories to go with each piece that was added to the home. 💕💕💕

[@quintessenceblg]

Ruth Hovsepian Exactly and why we started this series - our motto is giving design a voice!!

[@susannasalk7153]

SOO true!!!

[@EvergreenVB]

I agree but that's made me realize that nothing in my home really has a story.

[@jiminhart]

I love the throw over the frayed fabric (09:19). That's a clever hack, lol.

[@quintessenceblg]

dhgemein2 Isn’t it?! Glad you enjoyed!

[@MTMF.london]

That's nothing new. I've been doing that to my 20-year old sofa - I've had to put a throw over each arm though - all frayed and holey from constant use.

[@Mac62671]

What a truly lovely home. She seems like she would be interesting to know. I love her use of flowers and fabric. I also love that she wasn't at all uncomfortable to show the worn place on her chair!!

[@quintessenceblg]

[@eeerik79]

Beautiful! Love the "longer" episodes!

[@rneustel388]

Sweet, lovely lady with an exquisite home! Her collections just blew me away-those pink, floral dishes in the drawer were stunning, as were everything in her home. The wallpaper panels were amazing, and I’m in love with crewel, too. Thanks for the amazing job you do-you have no idea how it lifts my spirits to see a video from Quintessence!!

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you!! That means so much to us!!

Bonjour Suzanna and Stacy from my cold, very cold -14C Québec city.
