Susanna Salk shares with us the delightful and inspiring homes of top
designers and tastemakers, revealing the personal and idiosyncratic
interiors they create for themselves. Brimming with personality, these
rooms are full of ideas and creativity, inspiring us to decorate in our
own way by embracing our style and passions.
Through her work as the host of the "Quintessence At Home With" video
series on YouTube, Susanna Salk visits incredible homes of designers and
other creatives, experiencing how they live and how they decorate when
it's for themselves, not for a client. Whether it's the Connecticut
weekend retreat of textile designer John Robshaw, or photographer Pieter
Estersohn's restored Hudson Valley home full of his work and
inspiration, or the cozy garden retreat of chef Lulu Powers in West
Hollywood, Salk has gathered decorating tips and secrets from some of
the most stylish and savvy people.
Here Salk opens the doors of her favorite homes, imparting lessons for
navigating various design chal-lenges, and limited budgets, while
bringing their rooms to life.
With original photography by Stacey Bewkes, Salk's partner in the
renowned "Quintessence" At Home With video series--and with Salk's
tips on how to implement these design ideas into our own settings on our
own budget--this book inspires us with ways we can live more fully and
stylishly in our own homes.
