Could we just have a weekly series with these two gentlemen. I love their style, their passion, their home. I could never tire of the collection storage downstairs.

[@christianayme7316]

Their style is quite unique indeed , am congratulating you again on this beautiful decor with some very nice French pieces of furniture ( being French makes me a bit biased here ).How happy your guests must be to share in that glorious atmosphere .

[@allymonte7295]

Yes!!

[@ramonahoudek4712]

I agree with you!!!

[@jl1726]

What great lessons in hosting!!! Do not outshine your guests. ❤

[@hedvigberrywibskov9726]

Really really special episode

[@prettylady995]

Homeworthy…Please continue to have these gentlemen on your channel again!! My fav shows are when you have these gentlemen !! Love their collections, style and their excitement about their decor and hosting!

[@princevarughese6419]

Philip and Eric, you need a show of your own!

[@jessicagranell4244]

yes please!!! I will watch and suscribe!

[@mrich9654]

I watch these to get party decor and hosting tips. I love that he said “their hats will be simple so they don’t outshine their guests”. Such wonderful manners.

[@leilakoishibayeva1589]

Thoughtful huh

[@amandawoods4051]

Is this a joke?

[@mrich9654]

@@amandawoods4051 there’s nothing funny about impeccable manners.

[@dyinteriors]

No better entertainers exist anywhere. Gloriously it was to be a guest! You two are priceless, funny and good old fashioned friends! We are so lucky to know you boys.

[@rlpai5833]

Egad! These boys really know how to entertain😊. In a world filled with everything fast, foolish and flashy this is a treat. Well done Eric and Phillip!

[@xiomiminer]

Hats off to them 🎩🎩

[@nahomie]

Eric and Philip are so lovely. I enjoy the way they interact with each other and their guests. They come across as pleasant and kind people. I always smile whenever there is a video of them. ❤

[@lisawright772]

Love, Love whenever we get the chance to come to these amazing gentlemen's home. Thank you for "inviting us to the party" so fun to see all the hats. TFS

[@susie-k-q]

It makes my heart happy that they use all of their beautiful serve ware! I am in the midst of a first floor remodel and I vow that I am going to use all of my grandmothers' sterling and Haviland / Limoges when my dining room is complete.

[@S.L.S-407]

@susie-K-q- If your reno involves opening walls, remember to put a note in the wall for the next person who might come along decades or millennium later. : )

[@user-dw8cc6xt4x]

Eric and Phillip are so entertaining that they need their own show. Perfect hosts in every way and especially that you were so kind to the wait staff. Love you both.

[@oliviacasino8888]

These two fabulous gentlemen must, MUST have a regular posting. Please! Even if we just follow them about as they rustle around their home and peep at what’s going on in the garden, I would spend hours letting them talk about and act out classic movies! What a treat, Homeworthy! California calling

[@claudiamann7111]

Loved the hat try on!! These gentlemen are fabulous hosts and the attention to detail is incredible. Wonderful to have the piano player there. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ah4760]

Always exceptional filming at Eric’s and Philip’s home. The interior is extremely warm and cozy. I feel as if I helped prep followed by joining this wonderful party. Please find another reason to visit Eric and Phil again and again and again. Warmest home ever! ❤

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I love that you make so much of the food yourself. Love the table display. And the hat try on was hilarious! Life is short... make memories with friends whenever you can. Having such a beautiful home and garden make entertaining a ball, I am sure. Thanks for sharing such a fun day.

[@lindagaydos8618]

This episode made me giddy! Totally my vibe. Philip and Eric you are both OTT and very special people. So much detail in hosting this party and the treasure trove in the basement! Sounds like a wonderful charitable event to support. Thanks for sharing❤

[@ShawanMason]

First they inspire me to turn my basement into a dream china closet, now they're quoting one of my favorite films, The Women!

[@debbiepochy6751]

How much fun to see these two gentlemen again! What fun it would be to attend one of their parties. I have loved to entertain over that last 30 years, although not on such a grand scale. As they said at the end, how important it is to enjoy and entertain your friends and family, the years go by fast. I loved getting so see that basement room again with all the lovely glassware, silver and china. Please bring Eric and Philip back for more videos! 💗

[@xiomiminer]

Their isn't another host as good as Philip and Eric the attention to detail, their receipys are genuinely over the top. I was fortunate to have had a father that was as good and perfectionist as these two darling gentlemen. I love to see much more of them , since we experience a lot more of fine art, designs , and culinary expertise. Hats off to you both🎩🎩🎹🍽️🍸🍹💐💐

[@misskatzlife5892]

[@user-lr7zm7sk3g]

My favorite gentleman. They have a very beautiful home. Great couple who know how to make friends and family welcome in their home. Please show them often.

[@monkeygraborange]

Oh my! How utterly wonderful. I’m so impressed by the fact that you’re both so good at this that you can invite a camera crew in without additional stress. I have to say I love the fact that among all that scrummy food that you’re serving up you have supermarket dinner rolls! That was a favorite trick of my late mother, who said it would remind all her guests where they came from! Thank you for letting me join the party!

[@TamaraStephenson]

Thank you Eric and Philip- Susan and I ( root cellar designs ladies) enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you in your beautiful home- thank you for this kick-off to spring and the gala

[@1949chefjojo]

A worthy Occasion set in a Beautiful Home.

[@1949chefjojo]

I wish you had a cookbook and a interior and architectural design Table Book published. I could smell the dishes wafting through my nose. Your Christmas celebration was so detailed. Thank you.

I loved their campy repartee before the guests and staff arrived. The party was really special. I loved all the hats and that buffet looked so beautiful, tasteful and tasty. The entire ambiance of the affair was lovely. I'm sure their guests will be talking about this gathering for a long time to come.

[@gerigowers8318]

I could watch an episode of Eric and Philip every week. I was so excited to see them again and I've re-watched their other 2 videos more than once. I was concerned at how their tabletop basement made out during the earthquake! Loved Eric doing Rose in Titanic🤣and Philip doing Ramses. Now I'm looking up the recipe for the Coronation Chicken Salad - looks delicious!

[@mcluhansnovel2488]
