I look forward to your videos so much. When I see you've posted one, I make a lovely tea in my grandmother's teapot, sit down and take a few minutes out of my hectic life to enjoy the beauty and love that exudes from each video. Each visit is unique and different and you're so positive and lovely in each one. I'm currently in the process of renovating my house (converted from the first church in my town, built in 1865.) I've always loved mixing patterns and colors and this shows me that I can kick the "rules" out the door. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
@@quintessenceblg Yes. Lots of inspiration because honestly, I'm simply not very creative when it comes to decorating, so I "borrow" from your videos. Thank you. :-)
@@quintessenceblg I enjoy your enthusiastic energy Susanna! You're so charming, gracious & not knowing you in person I feel like you are a wonderful friend to everyone. Keep up your creativity. Such a pleasure to watch. Fans from California
Well, you’ve done it again, Susanna...a quick trip to Antwerp has saved my Saturday from the mundane to the miraculous! And what a stimulating visit with a certain Mr. Voorjans who is the master of taming all wild beasts of color and making them purr. I just love it when ‘rules’ defer to a crafty eye and knowing skill. This man is genius with a capital G! Great job, Susanna, keep your bags packed and ready as my life depends on you!
Olivia Casino Thank you Olivia!! Absolutely love your “taming all wild beasts...” - so evocatively (and accurately) put! Gert is such a talent! More about him on the blog... - Stacey (behind the camera - and the blog)
Thank you so much Quintessence. If only these videos will last longer and longer and never finish.....:) Mr Voorjans's ways are absolutely wonderful. To combine beauty and elegance with light-hearted elements of fun, one has to be pure genius. Dank u!
Well a man with a bathtub in his bedroom is obviously going to inspire just about anyone, but my goodness what inspiration overload from this video. The dimensions of that dining room and the view from the office! What sturdy bones to build his silk road kingdom upon!
Love ,love , love the space Gert has inventid ,its so joyful .I would not mind spending my self isolation in his world.So brave how he is fearless mixing colour and patterns and it works .
I was a busy bee hive of thoughts and words as I viewed this video! I wanted to express my thoughts of pure joy I felt as Mr. Voorjans explained his collections and style. Tons of verbiage couldn't describe all of this video's content. I was amazed listening to how he put his home together. He uses his knowledge and experience while combining his love for the old art and the new masterfully. For example the stunning chandelier is absolutely crazy where it hangs but it works beautifully. Love the local artist's work and the artwork from abroad lovingly placed together is awe inspiring. I am amazed how the use of the color purple in his art, furniture, patterns, and decor pieces go so well with all the oranges, reds greens and blues fitting perfectly together! To do so at his command is brilliant, and it shows. The playful way he describes how the fabrics are supposed to be for curtains but ended up decorating a home warmed my heart. I so loved touring this home because of the design magic he is capable of.. Who would think to put the bathtub, on a wall, in a bedroom next to the bed!! I want mine next to my bed!! And the exquisite hung artwork and textured tile for the ceilings? Design rules he purposely has broken and it works gorgeously. To me this video is a design kaleidoscope to be viewed for hours! Thank you Susanna and Stacey for taking us into a wonderful designer's world of magic!
I have always been fascinated by Jim Thompson, his life and his silks. Thank you for bringing us another imaginative designer. Love his re-interpretated JT silks. Gert Voorjans teaches us to fill our life with infinite possibilities in every color and do the unexpected.
Wonderful! This was a transport to Belgium on a cold, snowy day in Wisconsin. What a talented and gracious man! Both his home and shop are so warm and inviting.
Well ...... that woke my eyeballs up in the most delightful way. So love his bold pairing of pattern + modern + scale + complete insouciance! I’m going downstairs for more tea + a new style MIX! BRAVA! MORE! MORE! MORE!
Lovely, interesting and very creative home. These videos are a treat, to see how artistic people live and decorate. They think outside the box, and do surprising things, that you would never do...but always work. It's very inspirational. I always look forward to them.
One of my favorite channels visited my home town!! I can hardly believe it! I used to work not five minutes away from this place for years. As a viewer you (sort of) get used to the fact that this channel introduces you to all those wonderful, special places around the world. You never expect them to show up nearby....
What a fun place! A great mix of objects and fabrics and surfaces. I liked seeing those old and, I imagine, original floorboards along with everything on and around above them.---I love ocean liners and have shelves of books about them. I'm going to have to look through the illustrations and see if I can find out what ocean liner the dining room chandelier came from.----As Gert signed the card I noticed to the left a picture that I'm sure is of Edith Sitwell the English poet.---What a great observation, Susanna: the stacks of books become "...their own pieces of furniture in a wonderful way", not just what the shelves can't hold but works of art that become part of the beauty and enjoyment of the room. I'm going to start feeling better about the books I don't have shelf space for in my own place!
Ohhh I treasure our Jim Thompson silks! I have a luxurious thick silk chenille and we had to travel far down Sukhumvit Road to the outlet store in Bangkok to find it. It's not just a textile. It represents wonderful travel memories.
LoVe it! LoVe Gert's eclectic style! I LoVe a home that reflects the personality of the dweller. He truly has "The Eye", fabulous collection of wonderful objects! Fantastic fabric designs as well! Thanks for sharing - highly enjoyable!
I had to re watch this to learn more about fabric pairing. This is THE hardest for me to see what goes together, Gert Voorjans creativity inspire so much, to see his many combinations in the collection for Jim Thompson really helps and also how he has then used patterns and layers in his own home.
I almost felt like I had to catch my breath after having gone for a run after this clip, I got so overexcited. As a fabric lover and a total hoarder of the matter, this video really taught me so much. Because in contrast I have no idea how to pair things and I just have my fabric in my most beautiful cabinet to look at. I open the door almost every day to admire my jewelry as I say.
Stunning way to short, of a visit. I've replied many times and still need more viewing to completely understand all of this artist and the colors are so stimulating so many ideas.👏 wow
I love Quintessence! I await each "episode" with baited breath. It's like viewing impressionist paintings from private art collections - the ones that don't go on the loan circuit!
Bonjour Ladies ! I was thinking of you this afternoon, wondering when will be the next video : I needed my Quintessence fix, I guess. Well what an interesting visit in this video; so many colors, patterns, displays of old and new; really inspiring to use colors and have fun with different patterns, for sure. Loved, loved the chandelier what a gorgeous piece in the room, wow. Thank you for this colorful moment (( hugs ))
Absolutely LOVE every decorating tutorial you put out. Love all the diverse styles and the eclectic pairing that brings everything together beautifully!!! Please continue with more as I so look forward to them. Thank you kindly for all the inspiration. Liz Tucker Wade
I am overwhelmingly captivated and in awe of this wonderful artist and and his uniquely creative style of colors and style! I have seen many of your videos and have a wide spectrum of interior design favorites; from Greek to Modern. But this wonderful gentleman, Gert Voorjans, has captured my heart. Thank You! OH, and his book of fabrics is a priceless gift. I wonder if it can be found in a certain store or gallery?
Well said! Gert is so talented and charming! His fabric book is available to interior designers through Jim Thompson. But his own books are available on Amazon.
"to tease the eye..." WOOHOO! Another great, awe-inspiring video. Boy, was I ever needing that this morning. I'm in love...thanks for brightening my day. And thanks for taking us all along. Gorgeous fabrics.
His home is impeccable. But I'd like to take a moment to point how chic he's dressed, the navy blazer with the wide legged white trouser is simultaneously crisp and relaxed!
Absolutely love this chanel! I was so fortunate to visit the Jim Thompson House in 2004. You should do a video on the house. The architecture is out of this world!
What a charming man and home, such a great eye and aesthetic! I loved the detail of the painted rings holding his fabulous portiere. I'll have to copy that soon!

Love that huge painting of the dog over the couch. And how freaking cool is it that that chandelier once lived in a luxury liner. Fascinating.
