Fabulous!! What a grand house! Exquisite interior with French influence, not overdone. Still spacious. Love the dining room floors and windows.
The gardens are to die for. Absolutely lovely.
It really is. Robert is so very talented!
I love to rewatch these lovely videos when I am in need of inspiration and where better to find it ! Here in France we neglect a lot of our important chateaux and houses but in the US you can actually build a whole 'historic' estate from scratch and no one in their right minds would ever mistreat these wonders once built ! Some people could say it has a lot to do with money but it's not really the case as vision and taste are free for open minded curious hard working people because behind these homes goes a LOT of hard work to acquire the means and hard work to see these builds through to completion. Thank you AGAIN girls xxxxx
So very true Stephanie!! Thank you for your insight and thoughtful comment, as always. So happy you enjoy your revisits!! xx Stacey
So beautiful. And those dining room curtains !
Agreed!
The paisley wall covering 🤗 the dining room, the courtyard, the garden. Oh there’s so much to see and only got a glimpse. I absolutely love it, this one now at the top of my list!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Robert is so talented!
6.7.20 ~ What an extremely nice man & lovely home & garden! However, my favorite was the precious little dog!
I am inspired to refer to my office as where I do the little computer things. Just another amazing place. My friends and I are obsessed with these videos and Susanna and the designers and the dogs!
This was one of the better videos from this channel in terms of the caliber of design of the home presented. That dining room was positively *divine*.
I didn’t really care for those dining chairs myself..just saying
Thanks for adopting Robert;)
I want Robert to adopt me.
Omg. The boxwood garden. Was a. Fantasy. I'd drink my morning coffee and just. Stare at the. Beauty of it all. These veteos are. So exciting. To see
Susan Kelley Yes, Robert’s garden is divine! So glad you enjoyed tagging along!
That TV armoire! The Fre knows their aesthetics for sure. Love, love the garden as well!
Beautiful landscaping. You picked a great day to visit. Everything was so green & the gardens were perfectly manicured. ❤
Yes, we were very lucky with the weather with Robert's gardens looking beautiful!
That large crystal in the back corner was amazing!! We should all have crystals like that!
What a glorious place!
Love the new music, hope it’s here to stay!
Absolutely beautiful, Bravo. Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!!
Fabulous. I wish it had gone on for longer.
The best compliment - thank you!
Gorgeous inside and out is his property.!!💝💐
We agree!
I love this man. Elegant!
Yes he is with a wonderful sense of humor!
Beautiful!
Thank you once again. These stir the beauty/classic/depth in , yes, home skiing. Each episode shows the wonder of creating a heavenly home. We can all do it! I once had an 834 sq. ft. home where people came to take pictures. (Please, your tours are marvelous, but the sound is loud, hollow, and off-putting. There are modern techniques in sound that you can employ)
Yes. We should all live this way.
Just splendid.
Had to watch again it’s just that beautiful.. Today everything is white, farm house, it gets boring. I love color and beauty!
So glad you came back for a second viewing!!
Quintessence I wish your videos were longer! Susanna your channel is my favorite and it’s everything a class act. BTW you’re always beautiful!
@@KitKat24531 Agree Susanna always looks lovely. So glad you enjoy our channel - Stacey (behind the camera)!
I agree we should all live that way!
Wow !! Really !! Wow that dinning room is everything !!! How could anyone have that blessing of that dinning room and want anything else !!!! Just terrific one of favorite actually the ground your home thank you for letting us take a peek !!! But that dinning room !! Wow !!!
In this short video, Monsieur Couturier reminds me of Maurice Ravel - elegant, fastidious, very controlled, refined, afraid to let loose, dry and spirited.
Robert is indeed elegant and fastidious but he is also very funny and quite spirited!
@@quintessenceblg Let's just say he's French!
@@sagerie37 👍🏻👍🏻
What a Glorious place💜
Indeed!
Lesage embroideries on curtains.. wow, just wow!
Yes - the curtains are magnificent!
Elegant, Understated Beauty
A beautiful house. I enjoy the grand style, though I don't know that I would ever adopt it for myself. Marie Antoinette's chairs are compelling. I wonder how she managed to fit her frocks into them? I suppose the fabric just settled around the arms. Beautiful.
What a funny man! I like the dog sitting on Marie Antoinette s bathroom chair. That prove this man s simplicity and I like that!
Yes, Robert has a wonderful sense of humor!
I'd love a revisit to this house cause I'm sure he has updated a lot!
Those curtains are fabulous I too have cream coloured decor with a little pop of red ...great minds haha
Love his laugh💕
Marie Antoinette's arm chair. Wow. I think she would approve.
Agreed!!
I love the dining room!
Those “boxwood trees” is a European hornbeam (Carpinus) aerial hedge, I believe.
One day I’ll buy a property and estate like this! I’m speaking it into existence! The garden sold me~
Perfection. I love a beautiful garden of clipped box.
Funny thing, I never had much interest in money always living around people who cared too much for it but sometimes when I see such a beautiful property I think that maybe I should have cared some more for it, kept some and not been so generous. BUT that would make me a different person who maybe would not see the beauty in life ,,,,
Beautiful homes as always. I can't help but notice the quality of the video and sound doesn't do justice to the houses. Whoever's holding the camera don't present the quality and grandeur of the house. This type of vlog deserves a much more quality production in its video and camera work.
Such beautiful style, and the French comes through. Such classic bones work so well to showcase his special finds, in the house and in the garden. I'm "on the spectrum" (ha ha ha) as a lover of any color from true read through plum. The dining room is wonderful, with the solid chairs and embroidered curtain panels...that color! The black and white floor will still look perfectly stunning in 100 years.
So very French, everywhere! This could be a feature documentary!
Marg Oz 👍🏻
The wallpaper at 1:37 reminds me of Geoffrey Bennison; the magnificent quartz in the background at 2:55 and that delectable rug afterwards make me drool. Don't get me started on the Boxwood garden-I dream of a boxwood garden. I love strolling through nurseries imagining orchestrating such a landscape. His garden reminds me of Anouska Hempel's property, too. (And I love the theme song, I had to "shazam" it, and to my sheer delight I found it (Gliders II from the Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack) It's so spritely and vivacious; always brings a smile to my face and a spring in my step)
The wallpaper is actually Braquenié (Pierre Frey) fabric. And yes, his garden is sublime (we are hoping to film chez Anouska Hempel - shhh)! And while we absolutely loved that music, we have moved on to another that is royalty free!
I hope that one day those Marie Antoinette chairs will end up back in the French national collections.
BELLÍSIMO,!!!!
Lovely!
Beautiful
What a beautiful home !!! Thank you for sharing with all of us !! I esp. loved all his Shih Tzus !!! Love the way he uses everything in his lovely home !!! 💗
He has a great laugh!
Susan Sirianni Yes he does!
Makes you wonder where he hides his victims. LOL.
❤️❤️I love your style
I am French and this garden and decor are really French. Beautiful! Charm is everywhere. A peaceful place to work and «be».
This is beautiful especially the doggies 😄❤️😄
I miss CT. His dining room is lovely, intimate and elegant. Too bad we didn’t get to see more of his home.
I thought we saw quite a bit. Glad you enjoyed
Lovely garden.
👍👍to the gardeners
My FAVORITE channel! I want to do ride alongs with you!! :)
Thank you Tina!! That's why we're here - to give design a voice and let you tag along!
@@quintessenceblg Love it!! The homeowners are so unique and refreshing!
Jean Marie must have done the fabric walls and balloon curtains.
I bought his 1834 home in new Milford when he and Bruce went back to his place in France.
He did the same fabric walls and curtains in his French bed and breakfast. He left this place fully furnish and the antiques make me crazy, I feel like I’m in the 1800’s. It’s the French gardens that sold me on the place but the antiques have to go.
What an exquisite home
Awesome beautiful, not to much even lots of antique.
Right up my Rue!!! xoxo :)
will mac La rue less traveled! 👍🏻🙏🏻
Oke.....this was a little spooky to look at.....a year ago I had a dream that I was walking or running around in a garden just
Iike that!!!.....
Anyway....I love everything about this house. Especially the black and white floor.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
Audrey Butts it is! Robert’s home is bucolic yet sophisticated!!
If I had Susanna's figure I would live a happy & secure life.
🤣🤣
GORGEOUS
Oh his laugh is infectious..he is fun
He is!!
Please please show some bathrooms!!
We have shown some bathrooms - just not every time!
This house is for sale right now - 85 Davis Rd, Kent, CT
Time certainly flies .
I like this time no only the house but the lady impruve her ways not to present herself uneducated as was the case like in Timothy Corrigan chateau ...she should continues this way ,very respetable and cautious and at the same time modestly friendly...
Ok you are wearing the coral necklace!!!! From the shopping trip!!! Did you purchase? Or was it a gift?
Versailles with a twist...
The dogs are so very very cute!
Lesage embroidered curtains?!? Uhm, yes please!!! I can only imagine how expensive those are. i would've done the same thing, let somebody else deal with the cost and payment. Sticker shock would've made me do a full stop too.
Right?! Aren’t they glorious?! Glad you enjoyed!
I'm for hiding the TV.
That dining room is a dream. What a shame it's only used 3X a day when your thoughts are elsewhere.
They use it all the time!
@@quintessenceblg
As in hanging out? Good idea! I imagine the light is perfect all day long.
Merci, Susanna, Robert and Stacey! Mr. Couturier is such a gentleman. Gardens just beyond spectacular. You were so good with him... www.missmurrydesign.com in Marin County, California
tht area at5:23... soo dreamy and wonderful
Aren't they Gabriel21733?! And Robert is totally devoted to them!
สวยมาก
That was way too short.
Lmao my dumb ass thinking the first building she drove past was his house!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I want this home
Dining room - is so so so ..... would like to have a dinner.
The dining room is my favorite .
😍😍😍😍😍
Great house, great garden, great dogs and great taste.
But furnishing is a bit much.
If we all had his money, yeah we should live this way. Bernie 2020.
He must charge a pretty penny for his designs is all I can say ;)
satisfaction
Oh yeah!!!!! “We should all live this way”...........WTF!
What a ridiculous comment. It is an example of great design to serve as inspiration - not a suggestion we should all live this way. Do you react this way when you see a beautiful home in any other publication?
@@quintessenceblg My “reaction” wasn’t about the home, it’s was in regards to your ridiculous comment.
Lovely house but dont like that "Nature on a leach vibe." The garden looks overdone and stiff. Where are any flowers?😂🎉
her voice is so annoying, I have to mute it. but the homes she visits are just amazing...
cattuccino fung that’s a bit rude, no one can control how they sound. Besides, I think her voice sounds a bit like Téa Leoni from Madam Secretary
great house....horrible voice....my ears are bleading
