Dogs and their designers

Tag along as we visit top interior designers at home and in their offices where they share what their beloved dogs mean to them. It's a heart warming and funny video with moments you'll love to share!

[@justmyopinion144]

I was showing the video to my grandbaby and she died laughing at Ted. Thank You! for sharing Teddy with the world. The world loves you, Ted🐕😘

[@quintessenceblg]

Sadly Teddy has since this video passed away. But he had a long and well loved life (he was 18th!)

[@marciamorris6626]

Teddy stole the show !! Great voice from that little troubadour !

[@quintessenceblg]

Marcia Morris Right?! So adorable!!

[@Mhawf]

Totally, that was so great!!! Although he missed his queue they know their dog so well and knew he’d come running. It was great how Teddy ended it with a long deep bow-wow in a operatic style, lol!

[@reneeb9021]

The Happy Birthday song is priceless! So cute. Loved these!!!

[@quintessenceblg]

Renee B Can you even stand it?! Teddy is a star!

[@mylenaj2123]

LOVE,LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BUT THIS ONE STOLE MY HEART

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you Mylena! Susanna and I are both dog lovers so we love that you appreciated! This is what inspired Susanna's dog books (for which I have contributed the photography) - Stacey (behind the camera).

[@howdy268]

Totally agree adopting dogs is the best and such a blessing

[@ladyanne8139]

Oh my Lord. Isn't this the best? Without my dogs thru the yrs...my heart would never be the same...they fill me with every emotion...... Mostly the love only a dog can give. Unconditional! I would just wither w.out my pup...my pal My sweetheart💜💞🦋💞

[@ladyanne8139]

Thank you for sending this to me my special love... A wonderful GIFT. 💗💞💜💛😛😘

[@quintessenceblg]

They make a house a home!!

[@doodle-op-art3026]

Love the last dog singing to grandma. I missed my dog 🐕 Kikay.

[@cheryl4729]

I love this video!!! My two dogs are everything to me. God bless you all for loving dogs and bringing them into your lives and homes! Ted steals the show at the end! lol!

[@prettypaperz]

Do more of these with other designers. Love it!

[@quintessenceblg]

Have you seen Susanna Salk's book, At Home with Dogs and Their Designers, for which I did the photography? And we did a few more here with Jonathan Adler and Isaac Mizrahi!

[@marygreen3529]

I agree!!!

[@peterfraser2137]

This was really fun. I liked best the lady with 6 dogs. Lucky little things.

[@johnellis414]

What a lovely idea!!! Dogs truly bring love into a home!

[@quintessenceblg]

We agree! So glad you enjoyed!

[@smiling5683]

This made me so happy😊 Loved the way he held the note at the end of happy birthday!!

[@quintessenceblg]

What? Why? Delighted to hear it!! Teddy is a star!

[@m.s.g1890]

@mizzmolly cats can look graceful and even stylish, but they aren't really companions, it's just not who they are, in general.

[@reneeb9021]

I loved this video! Dogs are everything that make a home. Teddy sings Happy Birthday so cute. Awwwww

[@quintessenceblg]

Renee Bryant Totally agree and isn’t Teddy just the cutest?!

[@zenaidagonzalez6343]

This video is by far my most favorite of all. I watch it over amd over again. Teddy is a riot, and such a typical Yorkie. He reminds me of my Yorkie, Chico whom I miss so much. My family amd I think of him everyday. Thanks so much Susanna for this wonderful video.

[@Yes-rt5to]

😂😂😂😂😂.......liked to go to Paris too..... Like Teddy.lol

[@justmyopinion144]

I can watch Ted all day!!!...too cute I love you TED

[@quintessenceblg]

Teddy is the best!

[@VelveteenRabbit77]

I LOVE rhat darling little Teddy!!!

[@nehawasnik9623]

adorable thing to do for these designers and dog lovers

[@quintessenceblg]

We are both dog lovers as are many designers! Hope you've seen the book Susanna and I collaborated on - At Home with Dogs and Their Designers! We will be starting to work on a sequel with British designers this fall.

[@nehawasnik9623]

No I haven't seen the book yet. Looking forward to more videos.

[@curvygirlzrock8836]

Soo gorgeous… My darling Scarlett loves to sing to certain music on the piano… 🐶♥️🎶🐶♥️🎶🐶♥️🎼

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you!! Go Scarlett!! 🎶

[@franzgrabe1]

This is one of your most wonderful videos. Great idea! PLEASE>>>>>>>>> lets have one more of these!

[@quintessenceblg]

So glad you liked this - did you know that Susanna authored a book "At Home with Dogs and Their Designers" which I photographed? We are currently working on the sequel with British designers. We also have two other dog videos here: one with Isaac Mizrahi and one with Jonathan Adler! 🐶❤️

[@m.s.g1890]

I could watch hours of this dog-doting-in-beautiful-settings stuff 🧡

[@quintessenceblg]

Glad to hear!! And perhaps you would appreciate our books - At Home with Dogs and their Designers snd At Home in the English Countryside - Designers snd their Dogs!

[@shinybadger6299]

This is the best! Lucky dogs and lucky people!

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you! Totally agree - stay tuned for our book Dogs and Their Designers coming next year!!

[@theschnauz2138]

Design and dogs, my two favourite things! ❤️

[@pinkpoodle7100]

Love, love this video from Boston. Thank you, Suzanna❤️🐩🐕‍🦺

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you - so glad you loved!! - Stacey (behind the camera and this channel)

[@husseinbahsoun7712]

Life with dogs is sweeter.

[@quintessenceblg]

Hussein Bahsoun So true!!

[@elenap3096]

Teddy singing happy birthday stole the show! Adorable!

[@quintessenceblg]

Yes - isn't he just adorable?!

[@mrmiss8062]

Wow, Carolyne Roehm has 6 dogs! Bless her heart.

[@quintessenceblg]

Mr Miss Yes, she’s a longtime dog lover!

[@sallynolan5928]

She didn't mention the Black and Tan Shorthair.

[@crism3lo]

Who else cried watching this?

[@quintessenceblg]

I get it - we all love our furry family members!!

[@ruapraia]

This is so sweet, the love of a dog is everything. I also adore the theme music.

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you - we love our furry family members!

[@3daysdarkness938]

Such an immediate insight into that peaceful centre of these creative minds!

[@quintessenceblg]

👍🏻🐶

[@natashasemrau3670]

Dogs are so loving and friendly. So are designers.💞💕🐦💗🐦🐦💞🐦🐦🐦💕💔💖

[@dianasargent4861]

LOVED THIS VIDEO. MY DOG WATCHED IT WITH ME. DOGS ARE THE BEST.

[@quintessenceblg]

LOVE THAT!!! And yes they are!

[@carlyh6913]

Lol Howard Slatkin, the picture of the beautiful but untouched dog bed totally backed up what he was saying that his dog thinks the human couch is her doggie bed 🤣

[@quintessenceblg]

👍🏻😉🐶

[@leonardogarrido]

Great homage to these great companions of talented people

[@debzeb6899]

Delightful! My last dog was from the pound. I was told there were three dogs down there on the last ten days before euthanasia. I went down and picked out the one with no inclination to bite or fight. We called him Jethro, Jethro from Deathrow.

[@quintessenceblg]

Oh I love that!!

[@dianejarvis5620]

Oh my goodness! I didn't think I could love this channel any more than I already do until I watched this. I have two gorgeous border collies, who have totally wrecked our house and our garden. Without them, though, that's exactly what it would be: a house and a garden. With them it's a home. Sadly, our beloved first dog, Jessie, died some years ago and (yep, I know some people think this is crazy and even obscene) but I thought I would never get over the grief. The scars are still there and sometimes they re-open and bleed, but Jessie was laid to rest in our garden that she loved so much and we still have her lovely daughter. Every hearth needs a dog, without, it's just bricks and mortar. Thank you for a really heart warming video.

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you so much!! We feel the same. I lost my 14-1/2 yellow lab last month snd am definitely still grieving so I can relate. They are integral parts of our family and will always be in our hearts!

[@lupitamendoza6913]

I loved this video because I have 4 dogs!

[@ginnywoodhouse6350]

As the pawrent of 7 dogs, you know this video hit every note for me ❤ ❤

[@quintessenceblg]

Delighted to hear it!

[@EEN63]

I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. I love all the gloriously beautiful homes and interesting people we get to see. However, this is by far my favorite! We love our dogs!!! Brilliant video! I'm hoping to find an annual video update on all your featured people with their fabulous dogs!

[@quintessenceblg]

Thank you!! So glad you have found us! AND we have a book based on this video coming October 3 - Dogs and Their Designers - with Susanna as author and me as photographer. Available for pre-order now on Amazon! It includes many of the designers you have seen here on our channel. Hope you enjoy! - Stacey

[@IMAInteriors]

I can´t believe this video has 8 years already!!! it feels like yesterday for me to see some of these dogs for the first time (not to mention the first at home with dogs series). Such a special video

[@AskBobbiO]

That was soooo Awesome!

[@CajunLady333]

I understand what Steven Gambrel means when he said that the house felt empty when his dog passed away. I had the same experience after 13 years when my daschund, Boudreaux passed away. The house did feel like a big empty hole without a dog in residence.

[@fancycat]

I know. When my little pekingese passed away 3 years ago it left a big hole in my heart and home.

[@Mhawf]

Me too! We went for a year after our mastiff passed away! We went out to the SPCA on Labor Day exactly one year after she crossed the rainbow bridge. I just couldn’t be without a dog any longer and my husband agreed!

[@caroljones1605]

so true... beloved pets as inspiration!

[@quintessenceblg]

Adore our dogs!!

[@annjohnson8437]

This is such an uplifting video! More proof that our furry family members are key to making a house a home!

[@quintessenceblg]

So true and so glad you enjoyed!

[@jackiemederos3138]

This is such a great video, I have two dogs and I take one of them to work, alternating between them. It is a joy to have a dog by your side when working, others enjoy and feel more at ease when there is a dog around. Thank you for the video.

[@quintessenceblg]

Agreed! Our pleasure- glad you enjoyed!

[@malba411]

OMG, how cute---LOL. Really enjoyed this! Xoxox

[@quintessenceblg]

M Alba Delighted to hear - thank you!

[@sulagnapanda3332]

I am a fan of Quintessence. I love all your videos. But this one is undoubtedly the best!! Thank you so much. Love to all of you!

[@melissaalp5972]

OMG !!! I love this video !!! Such sweet dogs !!! We miss our Shih Tzu "Pickles" !! She passed this past spring, just now ready to adopt another dog soon, its not the same without a four legged friend around the house.

[@quintessenceblg]

Sorry to hear that! But it's true - a dog makes a home!

[@twistoffate4791]

I have a Winnie Willoughby!! I have not met many Winnie's. Wonderful video!!

[@taylorfausett177]

So good!!! I'm in love with my Chorkie so I totally get it.

What joy of course I’m a huge dog lover thank you for this.

Thank you Cathy!!

[@phoenixrising2268]

I have no interest in having a dog of my own but I do enjoy seeing other people's relationships with their dogs. I guess it's a vicarious thing - I feel the same about children.

[@carlyh6913]

Dogs (and cats) are the best 😍😍

[@estellasalmi9409]

How lovely to see people who love and appreciate these wonderful animals who bring so much love and joy to our lives. If bringing a new memebr in the family, please make sure to adopt as millions and millions of dogs are looking for home.

[@quintessenceblg]

[@TheFiown]

I would rather give up my bed than my dog, they are such an essentiel part of the house ! My little Dora has her embroidered stool to get up on the bed and will not leave the bed until I do or go out in the garden without me. My Lady ( Britanny spaniel ) puts her head around the door and almost smiles I swear! that means come and play in the garden ,,, I never am down with them, it's not possible ,,, the perfect life Partner ,,, god bless all pets ,,

[@PleasantPrickles]

I’m dogless, so I’m going to watch this again. Thank you! 🐾

Enjoy!

We agree!

[@marjorykephart4700]

This video must have been the inspiration for one of Susanna's dog books photographed by Stacey. No doubt, Rizzoli's most favorite coffee table books immortalizing owners' beloved dogs. How "purfect!"

[@quintessenceblg]

It WAS!! And did you know we just debuted a sequel? At Home in the English Countryside: Designers and Their Dogs!!

[@marjorykephart4700]

[@richardsmith2879]

Listen darlings, there is no such thing as a “decorating emergency”. Just helping.

[@TheFiown]

Watching this again, utter joy, have the books of course ! I just cannot believe that I waited until I was 40 to get a dog ! There again I worked in haute couture in Paris and the hours were longggggggggggggg with many weekends preparing shows and then production so a dog would mabye not have been the best idea. It was working with Ines de la Fressange that I got my first Jack Russell, named Pucci, of course ! Then came another Jack called Peach then later on Bahia then Alias then Dora. Alias had three babies but only the two boys survived, this was in Brazil. One was Caramel because he stuck to me all day, just staring into my eyes lovingly. He passed away last year. Pucci and Peach and Alias have also gone to the beach as I say and I still have Dora who is 14 this year, she was born on the 8th of the 8th 2008 and in Chinese culture 888 is the absolute best number. Every day I tell her stories, cover her in kisses and hug her to sleep. Without her I cannot imagine my life. My Lady sleeps with my neighbours that she adopted, yes it goes both ways. I'm not jealous, love is love ! xo

Greetings! I love your channel and I binge watch whenever I can. I love this style. Is it called Eclectic Maximalism? I'm from Singapore and it is very, very rare to see this style here (people here likes the cold hospital look) but I love it so much and actually copied some idea as I recently moved into my own tiny apartment. Thank you, Susanna for bringing lots of colours and ideas into my life. Best wishes!

That's a good phrase for it! We love it too!
