Absolutely outstanding and a real tour de force. If an interior design is over the top then you really can't hold back and Slatkin has resisted any temptation to do so. This transcends being a home and has moved into the realm of art. I note that his home is now on the market and I hope that a prospective purchaser will appreciate everything that has been put into this apartment and that it is not bought by a philistine who "renovates" everything and destroys a masterpiece.
Bill Callinder, I’ve only recently discovered this channel so have lots of catching up to do. So my question do you know who bought the apartment and please tell me they didn’t destroy it ??
I absolutely LOVED this magnificent and stunning home.... my favorite of all episodes... !!! I can only dream of such a home... Well done you Mr. Slatkin...❤️✨
His house is stunning ;-) My mouth would of dropped as well once I stepped in. All the beautiful details. I want a home like that ;-) Thank you for sharing.
This décor is truly over the top in every sense of the word ! But... It is truly beautiful, inspiring, a gift to the eyes, gorgeousness in the living expression ! The details reflect the great taste of Howard. It is an inspiration for us that loves beauty and style, to use and show our beautiful things. Thank you so much for posting this video which is a living piece of art !
Some people do not know what a blessing it is to be surrounded by beauty and positive artistic people. This is truly a wonderful life, the fact that you can create such a delight environment where you can spend time and live your best life.
I love it! I built my home 10 years ago in a plantation look. I’ve been decorating mine for years, golds on walls and ceilings, needlepoint rugs with French baroque mirrors, French lamps with yards of silk. Large paintings and one thing I do is collect French urns, I have Orchids in every room... Another thing I collect is bergere chairs, there’s nothing more beautiful than a silk down stuffed bergere..It’s always a work in progress but lots of fun especially finding a remarkable piece all by serendipity.......One more thing, beautiful electrical sconces, I’ve tried to incorporate them in all my rooms plus large antique chandeliers..
Ive become absolutely obsessed with rock crystal chandeliers...and I too love urns! Unlike alot of objets,urns are useful as vases even though they look beautiful without anything. I used to love clocks but now I really don't like them so much, they take up a lot of room.
You Mr Slatkin are one truely Elegant Man.. one after my heart, I also love monograms and all the Old World touches you put into your home so thoughtfully. I can see why you are such a sought after Designer a rare talent in todays world.. Never stop creating such beauty along with function. Your parents are also Elegant people.. This apartment is the epitome of Beauty..
A very elegant and beautiful home. I admire Howard and I love his book. Such an inspiring person. I have seen this video so many times, I always love to come back xx
everything is just exquisite. you could be a guest in his home for years and still continually discover something new and exciting...each and every day
@@quintessenceblg it sounds like Howard has past away. His apartment was a testament to his love of life. In any case I’m happy to have discovered his wonderful gift. ☀️
This has to be the ultimate example of Fifth Ave taste, a capsule in time ,,,, overwhelming but I could spend a year just examining each detail ,,,, couldn't live in it but love it ,,,
It's so deliciously cluttered but in the most elegant and tasteful way. I love how various objects are put in place and while they are of different design disciplines, it looks well put together.
That is such a good point. With the uncertain time we're now living in. It's now 2020 as I read your comment. I've been thinking about what would I take if I needed to leave my home for safety reason. I'd take my Bible, the cats, water and my laptop.
I agree. It’s a work of art, but oh my. I’m working on a theory based on having seen several of these Park Avenue homes; some people overfill them as a reaction to the constraints of living in a crowded, dirty, noisy, dangerous city. It is one area that they can control, and even if space is at a premium, the space is stuffed to the gills with beauty to counterbalance the outside. Those tole sculptures are magnificent.
He absolutely has the most opulent aromatic candles around! They actually transport you to an opulent setting such as within the inner realms of his creatively imaginative universe and home! Luxe X 1 million!
I love 5:08 to 5:12 in the vlog. The quarters in the glass bowl and all the accessories I have the same in my closet and something about those coins make it so nice. Thank you for continued inspiration.
I know you should never argue about religion and taste......and that is what makes your channel spectacular. It caters for every thinkable taste!! What a pleasure!!
He's So Chilled 😎 The Abundance of Collective items in His Home is Overwhelming, But at The Same Time its Elegant ,Intimate and Intresting. Oh Yeah. and Cozy I Like 👍
Very interesting comment from Mr. Slatkin: "If you've got a certain budget or you've got only enough time to focus on something, I'd rather say put it in the things you touch every day" That is good commons sense.---I went back in the video to look at the cup or tumbler in his dressing room so I could get a better look at the pens. I think I saw two Mont Blanc pens in there. I'm not surprised! I'm on "...a certain budget" myself but I have some nice pens, nothing really expensive except for a Mont Blanc that I found and that no one ever claimed despite my lost-and-found ads and signs and I like to select the pen I'm going to take with me when I go out for the day. I'll put it this way: Have, enjoy, use!
Howard’s private and personal space blew me away. His attention to the minuscule details sets him apart from the crowd. I would love to spend a minute, or two or hours in his screening room getting his take on nothing just to hear his voice sing fresh design... ❤️
Susanna….you look so pretty in this video…your dress fits you perfectly….I LOVE HIS FABULOUS PLACE…. SUCH TALENT EVERY WHERE….I want to visit there…THANKYOU hugs carolyn from Columbus Georgia…..don’t you just LOVE his sweet kind voice….I want one more hour…maybe two hours so I can see MORE!!!!!
Susanna. Seriously. I have GOT to go in there and make dinner. I can't keep doing this binge-y thing I'm doing with your videos. So PLEASE, let me go....oh..okay, maybe one more.
I love the way your crew ,Stacie? Films the rooms. My nearly blind eyes are allowed to appreciate and see the rooms. The style.and design can be appreciated, inspired. Most jump around so much I have no idea what is there, very frustrating. I watch h Quintessence episodes over and over. Thank you.
Oh my GOD👼what a great home style my heart ❤️ can’t stop beating.so much elegant and gorgeous .Thanks a millions,Quintessence makes me over excited 🦋💕💕🍷🍷🍷
This is one of my favorite ones and memorable cause of the comments she has and his very interesting soft voice along with all of the details. Comments like howard go to town on this one And orient express And 'work on your organisational skills', tongue in cheek. That soup looks really good btw.
@@sallynolan5928 seriously, its SO RUDE. I don’t want to hear her gushing for three minutes, I wanna hear the homeowner talk about their ideas. UGH. She’s like the clueless person at the party who everyone is trying to edge away from because she won’t stop oversharing
@@carolynlecoque1889 I tried that it actually is much less stressful, thanks for the tip! I feel like I’m not missing too much anyway bc she barely lets the host talk anyway 🤦🏻♀️
I keep coming back to this dream of an apartment. Thanks for the intimate yet to short of a tour. Now please take me on a tour of Hamish Bowles abodes NY & Paris... I’ve always wondered and imagen it should be out of this world. I know...Am I setting my self for a disappointment? Only you can tell me. LOVE!
I will never live in flat like this one,but I like it. This man got great sense for style and dont scare to experiment. I like that wall cover in the loby😊
Homes like this deserve at least a half hour special.
Absolutely!
Totally agree!
True
Indeed true.
He has a true gift for bringing theatrical oppulance to life. My favourite designer ever. 💕
Agree and you have great taste! 👍🏻
I love his soft voice! That flower sculpture is just divine!
charming man. i like that he loves books so much. and that he emphasized just talking/listening to his guests.
I'm speechless ... it's all so grande and beautiful!!! Every room was like a jewelry box!
It is indeed! Howard is amazing - thank you!
@@quintessenceblg Did he design all of this or did he have some help?

a philistine ... great analogy

Everything is spectacular. So much talent.
Truly!
What an absolute masterpiece of a dwelling. Amazing.
I absolutely LOVED this magnificent and stunning home.... my favorite of all episodes... !!! I can only dream of such a home... Well done you Mr. Slatkin...❤️✨
It was an incredible work of art. He has since sold it.

Our pleasure! Howard's apartment was extraordinary!
LOVE all the Quintessence videos...one can NEVER have enough BEAUTY in life...!!!
SO true - thank you SO much Richard!
I watch them over and over again. I love everyone's collections, interior designs, etc. Like what Susanna said the houses are all like jewelry boxes!
Thank you so much Celestine - so glad you enjoy!! - Stacey
Very formal, yet looks surprisingly inviting, cozy and comfortable . A masterpiece of curation! 🌿

That is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seeing
I've seen this home on tv here in England he gets the balance of it just right without it going ridiculously ott ...genious
Best youtube channel ever
Thank you so much!! We love our viewers!
@@quintessenceblg 💗😉
One of my favorite homes, simply stunning and a nice down to earth owner
It was - he has since moved! And yes, such a lovely and very talented guy!
One of the best apts I’ve seen in Manhattan! Great job Susanna!

Wow there’s so much to see in this one place. Fifth avenue home, how charming and to top it all off with a beautiful elegant dinner!
Glad you enjoyed it
Some places are worth watching over and over again. His is something new everytime.
It's so deliciously cluttered but in the most elegant and tasteful way. I love how various objects are put in place and while they are of different design disciplines, it looks well put together.
It is truly magnificent!
On the other hand, it gave me a feeling of heaviness, as if my soul is trapped in all its earthly possessions.
same
Lovely but I wouldn't want so many objects in the space. I would simplify and feel more freedom.
That is such a good point. With the uncertain time we're now living in. It's now 2020 as I read your comment. I've been thinking about what would I take if I needed to leave my home for safety reason. I'd take my Bible, the cats, water and my laptop.
