Hi Susanna, as always I loved your video. Mr. Frank de Biasi and his partner may come to Lisbon (Portugal). Lisbon is the european capital closer to Marocos. Probably the pink marble is from a village in the south of Portugal, called Vila Viçosa. Thank you for one more stunning visiting!!!

This melting pot of goodies (art, etc.) from all over the world, everything is so elegantly mixed together è everywhere our eyes stoped, it was a feast of colors and interesting things to look at and appreciate. For example, the mat from "Mauritanie" close to this very English style canapé, it takes a genious to think of this ! Anyway, I could talk a long time about the pleasure of this visit, thanks to you both, this moment was a St-Valentin's gift ! P.s.: Suzanne, I loved your djellabah or kaftan, very light, summery and nice color. - That is the only thing I wear in my home, I love all the many kaftans that I have, many were brought from travel and some I was gifted. They are elegant and comfy ! Regards, - Rosalind -

[@andrewbrendan1579]

That's exactly it, Susanna, "... every area and corner has a reason and a sense of purpose but there's a sense of whimsy or two". I admire the practicality of Frank and Gene's house; if it wasn't so practical and efficient and well-thought-out I wouldn't enjoy it near as much. I've always remembered the adjustable bookshelves in the library of their New York apartment that was show here. In this new place I especially liked the little window between rooms at 6:36. The atrium space is great: I'm an ocean liner enthusiast and the atrium here reminds me of the light wells that used to go up through the upper decks and public rooms of ocean liners of the late 1800's and early 1900's, providing light and air circulation. When Frank and Gene redecorate or move to a new place and there's a Quintessence visit: I'm in!

[@quintessenceblg]

Thanks so much Andrew!! And observant comments!! The atrium is brilliant and yes, I can see the relevance to ocean liners.
