At Home in Millbrook with Ashley Whittaker

Tag along to Millbrook, NY as we visit the stylish country home of interior designer Ashley Whittaker! Learn how Ashley worked from the ground up to build the family house of her dreams, melding traditional charm with modern conveniences. Hear how she worked to achieve a floor plan that flows as effortlessly from room to room as to the outdoors. See how her childhood home inspired her to create a multifunctional living space that works as well for two as for one hundred and learn how it pays to be flexible because even a professional designer’s vision can occasionally go awry. Ashley’s love of color knows no bounds and you’ll see how she has mastered the mix, anchoring blocks of color with patterns big and small on furniture, pillows, lampshades and trim to endlessly delight the eye. Watch as Ashley explains how to embrace nature inside to bring life to a room and the yin and yang of style juxtapositions make a room sing. You’ll learn why wallpaper is Ashley’s secret weapon for adding a dose of enchantment to rooms. If you can’t get enough of Ashley’s spirited and sophisticated take on updated traditional style (and who can) be sure to pick up a copy of her first book, The Well Loved House (amzn.to/3wpMw5E), featuring projects from NYC to Florida and beyond! You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com/

The bedroom with the floor to ceiling vine wallpaper with the birds on it and the painted floor with the half circle window, the whole room took my breath away.. stunning! The entire house is beautifully done.

[@quintessenceblg]

We agree!! Thank you for watching!

so true. Trying to figure out how to cut a half circle window in my east facing attic brick wall. My husband thinks I have gone insane with this new frensy of plans for the attic space.

What another great posting as I watch the catalpa leaves coming down after our first frost along Lake Erie. My parents papered their dining room with a Schumacher paper called Down East in 1952...a nod to my father's Yankee childhood. It cost $350 per wall...in total over half the price of our 1954 Ford station wagon! Image a wallpaper budget with a client with a Lexus today! The room is still a knock out. They had a master bedroom with lots of ceiling planes so I had them paper everything as did Ashley.....I cannot image the room with white ceilings. And, I enjoyed your background text describing the project....a little primer on what to look for in the video during my first viewing. Is this the last of your summer landscapes? For some reason, I desire a chocolate chip cookie!

[@quintessenceblg]

What a lovely and entertaining comment!! Thank you! I am also wallpaper obsessed so especially enjoyed this visit! Glad you enjoyed the text - more to come in the blog post. More from summer coming and those cookies are deadly good - in Chris' book!

[@ja-uh9gz]

I keep adding these videos to my "Saved" pages. Wallpaper and patterns are so underutilized in many US homes. You see more of it in UK homes, which I love that style. The ideas are genius...wallpaper the ceiling as well as the walls. The patterns are gorgeous and will look great for many years. The faux bois pattern in her son's room will still look great when he's older. I also really like the idea of using the table, between the two sofas...making the big living room into two smaller rooms. Gorgeous home! Thank you.. :)

Firstly, may I say that I love Susanna's dress and how both ladies' attire co-ordinate with the décor haha. My favourite rooms are the living and dinning rooms; beautifully done. I thought the mural-wallpaper feature in the dining room worked really well, and tied together the whole look and furnishings. I found the wall to ceiling prints in the bedrooms a tad overwhelming, except for the soft, green garden-wallpaper in the daughter's room, which was more serene and a nice contrast against the white. Stunning grounds and outdoor space!

Yes, it is! Not really a new idea; I've seen it executed many times. Crate and Barrel has a wonderful table in iron and steel that comes in 60"or 84". I saw it this week at the store and almost cried it was so beautiful. I've always been a sucker for a console table. As much as I don't need this right now, it's awfully tempting to get it and put it aside for when I do. Regards from Indiana!

@@quintessenceblg Yes! That branch in the middle is EVERYTHING! And didn't Donna Karan say that, if you find something you love, don't pass it up; you WILL find a place to fit it into your life.
