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 cosy 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 favourite homes, imparting lessons for navigating various design chal-lenges, and limited budgets, while bringing their rooms to life. With original photography that captures the big and small moments in all 15 homes 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.
