At Home with Schuyler Samperton in Connecticut

[@bradfordc6471]

Quintessence is a haven for people who hate sterile warehouses of bland gray. I love the profiles of character and personalized homes. This channel inspires me so much.

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you, thank you!!

[@twistoffate4791]

@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.

[@quintessenceblg]

@@twistoffate4791 Thank you so much!! We love being your refuge from the black and blah! ;-) 🙏🏻

[@rosieposie9564]

@@twistoffate4791 I like both color and the neutral minimalist aesthetic. I enjoy watching these videos of homes with colour but I prefer that my home is neutral, calm and not have the extra stimulation that color gives a space.

[@twistoffate4791]

@@rosieposie9564 The joy of visiting each other's homes is that they're not identical and we get to see something different, yet at the end of the day, go home to where we feel most comfortable.

I live in Scandinavia and I am constantly fed with grey & white minimalist interior design and soviet brutalist buildings. Seeing that there are happy people living in colorful and beautiful homes warms my heart and gives me hope. This is what we need, thanks for the nice video.

[@quintessenceblg]

So glad!! Thank you!

[@orelvisperez536]

Jag håller med dig!

[@kimclarke5018]

I have Swedish antiques and absolutely adore their minimalist look but at the same time add color through fabric choices to cover chairs and sofas. It’s a great combination.

[@FranzVonFitzenstrahl]

@@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.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I have friends from Sweden and from Norway who love Native American decorating with fur, feathers, paintings, carpets, blankets, and so many other ways to bring color and texture there.

[@obelus5985]

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!

[@quintessenceblg]

[@ConceptsInHealth]

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.

[@bbyjcky1]

This house and styling is perfection. So me! Loooove it all ❤

[@quintessenceblg]

So glad! We do too!

[@marinedrive5484]

I like how Schuyler manages to keep her maximalist interiors fresh and modern - nothing dowdy, at all, which is a feature of her delightful textile range. By scaling up and down vintage motifs and using complimentary colourways in her textile range, she has developed a range of products perfectly suited for classic, gracious living. Lovely lady!

[@quintessenceblg]

EXACTLY!! And easier said than done!

My husband and I are on the hunt for a '2nd home', actually a cottage on a lake and this is exactly how I have planned the decor. Lot's of textiles, painted wood & warmth.

[@EEN63]

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! 💗

[@quintessenceblg]

We loved that too 🐶💙! And we agree about the pattern play and Schuyler's versatile textile line! Thank you for watching!

[@davidcattin7006]

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.

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.
