I get the sense he wants to impress himself and not anyone else! Very refreshing! Fabulous collection and the decor amazingly perfect.
Beautiful and yet his home looks so welcoming and filled with life!
I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the art or the sound of your voice..my goodness!!!
Right?! OMG, such a LUXURIOUS voice and home lol!
So seemingly humble and understated.I am referring to the urbane gentleman. Yet...........this bold house speaks loudly of a powerful personality behind it.
Art is where you find it. In that sense it is priceless.
that green painting above his mantle is jaw droppingly gorgeous! his aesthetic and taste is beyond impeccable. an unerring eye.
I'd have one too if it were within my budget.
What a deep voice! You can't say no to this guy.
LMAOOOO
True. I was thinking the same thing- deep voice with an accent.
@@revanelson8810 doesn't every person have an accent ?!!
😂
I don't swing that way.
I’d buy his voice- a work of art in itself😍
I agree
Truly stunning. I felt as though I was in one of my philosophy books and reading the sentences over and over and over... to make sure I absorbed as much meaning as possible... of course also made mental notes. What a brilliant artist.
Surprise!! Lovely design
Living with art is transformational! It truly is a spiritual, healing process that one relishes in daily and frankly cannot live without. I understand this fully and thoroughly enjoyed his presentation.
Què razòn tenès Abel! Habrìa que proponer que los gobiernos proveyeran casas asì a todo el mundo para transformar la vida de los que no las tienen, yo por ejemplo. Aunque ahora con la plan-demia del coronabritànica estàn muy ocupados.....
I like what Mr. Mackie said about learning about an artist but that it's more important to learn about yourself.
Learn what you like, not what's trendy.
Mesmerizing voice. Dreamy interiors. What a concoction!
I adore this. His home is full of color and texture. The art is sublime. I am sick of austere blank canvases with no story.
ive found the best way to collect, is to by for the heart as well as the eye. If it cost £5 OR £5 MILLION , buy ti because you love it and want to live with it .
zanyzoo6767 yes 👌🏼
Love his clean balanced subtle style.
He has a great deal of wisdom and practical good sense to impart. Much appreciated.
The green block painting!
his home is so extremely elegant and soothing
Brilliant Philosophy.....not what but how, art should be embraced and resonate with surroundings, and other pieces. In my mind....the cladding of ones soul.............
I loved it very much!!!It was a pleasure to this!!!!!!
Definitely a favorite designer. Great with color and composition.
His art buying advice is on point.
This guy would make an awesome narrator.
Love everything in his house and his drawings are perfect!
Fabulous collection and the decor amazingly perfect.
His style is exactly what I love ❤️
What a beautiful house and taste!!🌹
This guy has a collection very much my own taste. Love it.
Shareing Culture is Noble in evry way ! Thank you Mister !
incredible space. every room beautiful. amazing art and design. luv luv
Fact is art like decor and fashion are very subjective, "to each his own", it shouldn't matter if others are unable to appreciate the choices of others. Confidence of one's choices and confidence in themself is all that's required.
Stunning work, very talented
I’ve often told my wife - whether it be antiques or garments - the outfit of the day…I genuinely since a young age wanted to do it for pure joy and not to signal or court attention. It’s true joy - that’s it. Authentic and real.
I hope to have a Henry Moore drawing casually hanging near my refrigerator one day as well.
Exactly! Why not?
Mounting the corpus on a piece of plexiglass or Perspex, now that’s something I think I can do with my 18th century bronze corpus that’s been in a drawer for years. Thanks for the inspiration.
His voice is everything!!!
I feel so posh after this
ja isto, his taste is incredible. Baš ima dobar style!!
It’s all in how one views one’s self.
Your house is exquisite. Thank you very much for sharing.
I love your beautiful home! And I love how you draw your designs on your tablet! This is something I’d like to learn how to do. Please give me a bit of advice on this. How did you learn?
A very wonderful, insightful, thought provoking presentation.
Thanks!🙏
Beautifully done!
very nice...had to watch twice.
These people are on another level...i never understand abstract painting, nor do i understand keeping weird statues without body head and without hand.
Good lord !!! Just seeing snip-it's of this guy's portfolio of work, I can tell he's way above others in talent. He's definitely the designer of designers... Or ? is it... The designer for designers ? Oh well, whatever ! He's just the BEST !!!
I've been reading and watching interior design shows, magazines, and books for more than 30 is the first experienc
Thank you, it is about "Taste" and "Experience"
Y nacer en un environmente lo suficientemente luxurious and wealthy como para por lo menos haber visto algo parecido. El 90 % de la gente en el mundo jamàs ha entrado en una casa asì y ni se la imagina.Como tampoco imaginan que un piso en Parìs pueda costar seis millones de euros. Como yo tampoco puedo imaginar cuànto es esa suma....màs que pensar que "es mucho"
That was an apartment I could love. Suited my preference and likes...
Screw rule books! “Ultimately it’s to do with taste”….love that.
Yo podrìa vivir en una choza en medio del campo y estar bien, pero què orgàsmico ver tanta belleza!!! Impecable equilibrio! Y encima don Douglas habla INGLES ! no yankee, asì que le entieeeendo! Merveilleux!!!!
I don't understand the comments on the paintings. They are beautiful
It’s beautiful interior 🔝🔝🔝
One word ..gorgeous
Very interesting eye and attitude..very soothing man
...His voice is soooo seductive and mesmerising. It makes me sleepy
Unintentional ASMR :):)
I'd be too sleepy to be seduced.
Gives Me Chubb......
I feel sorry for his students (unintentionally falling asleep in class).
Or maybe youre just tired🤔
Class! Pure class -
Love your taste. There is something unique about it.
I love this guy.
The greats developed their vision and style by hand drawing everything...
no, not always, not always at all.
Merci, Douglas! Delicious...
Love that orange couch
His voice is amazing
Like!.. Art for me is an expression and a unique way to see the world throughout the medium used and reflects the painter views in visual effects .... Sometimes even hiding dark secrets ;)
Sage advice we can apply to all of life’s experiences
Enjoyed! Thank you.
His air and "collection" are the epitome of smart.
Yo dirìa sensibilidad ya que smarts hay muchos pero...
@@mariavairo1640 In this regard I believe they mean it in the English sense....sharp...attractively neat and stylish.
Beautiful home! Love it 💕
What an interesting guy. I’d definitely be interested in him doing up my place if I had a big house.
And this man has great taste
Absolutely!!!
Love it !
Similar to my collecting taste.. wonderful
i like the way he is dealing with middle life crisis
I have always liked the idea of two dimensional and three dimensional pieces being displayed together for variety and for continuity.
Good! Sensible conversation.
I love the crucifix ❤️
Beautiful!
Audiobooks with that voice (something like Of Human Bondage, for example) and you will be stuck in your chair for hours. Impeccable taste.
i love interior designing...
I want his voice to introduce a 90's RnB ballad. Yass vocal zaddy!
Decor is superb, the paintings, no thank you.
absolutely agree!
I've watched decorators over many years.....they can do magic with furniture but never with paintings and real art.....they constantly fail to forget about colour, texture and other decorators tools, instead of seeing the art work itself.
😂I thought I’m the only one.
the paintings are personal. he likes it, it sparks something inside so that is all the matters. art an objective, personal experience.
@@seficurada4375 Agree!!!!!, porque en los comentarios anteriores supongo que haràn combinar el cuadro con los colores de los sillones....
paintings absolutely stunning, unique and on point. some of the best art and paintings I've ever seen.....every room steeped in class, style. fantastic. BTW, most certain your taste is to be cough, cough, desired.
A lot of stuff but it works and blends well.... a beautiful home.
Ps I feel sorry for the poor cleaner or cleaners because that place would be a nightmare to keep up
SG R you don’t care about cleaning when you are this rich
What is the painting app he is using on his pad?
I appreciate the comment, about drawing.
1:22 a head sculpture of Queen Saba (Queen Shiba) of Merib... what is now modern day Yemen 🇾🇪
Thank You
A young Cambridge lad possibly from a wealthy aristocrat family stays rich and savour that very life just like his ancestors might have. I guess it proves that rich stays rich, poor stays poor unless you're an extraordinary person who overcomes the background. One thing is though, I don't see 'less ordinary' in this as the title suggests, only the typical ordinary high class person's life.
IQ , and other characteristics which help a person get ahead, are largely HERITABLE. People who've inherited genes which make them dumb, ugly, lazy and foolish, tend to move downward - even when they've been given substantial wealth. People whose genes make them smart, beautiful, driven to achieve, and wise, tend to move upward - even when they begin with nothing. And we were not told whether or not he had to PAY, to attend Cambridge.
Amazing
Wish there was more....

He left out the most important piece of advice - Have a lot of money.
demon cleaner Truly the most important ingredient he excluded!
Yes, disposable income is necessary. If you have that then buy what you enjoy and makes you happy. A roll of bread and a gallon of milk for me, thank you!
Very impressive and interesting. He has assembled things cleverly and courageously.
I could have done without the background music which was irrelevant and unnecessary, and at times intrusive.
What is the program to draw in 1:26?
Good question!
I think it's 'Paper'. I use it on my iphone
He could start a career in doing voice overs for documentaries.
Eu gosto deste lindo estilo
A life well lived
4:22 fantastic
Such good taste
Bello muy bello.
You can see when people buy art because they love it and not because they want to impress society
Great thak you.
Always buy what you like, what you’re attracted to, what makes you happy or makes you think. Don’t buy with the intention of making a buck. It’ll show very quickly who you are.
