Tag along to Greenwich Village in New York City for a behind the scenes visit with design historian and gallerist Emily Eerdmans at her 1838 Greek Revival landmark townhouse. See how she updated her newly expanded space into stylish rooms where Emily both works and lives. Learn how her most famous design muse and mentor, Mario Buatta, inspired her to incorporate bold colors, dramatic finishes and garden delights. And hear how other design luminaries, several of whom were the subjects of her books, provided creative ideas, from curtain styles to painted murals, for both her private domain and gallery spaces where she holds exhibits and meets with her sophisticated clientele. While Emily has a great knowledge of and respect for famous interiors of the past, you’ll see how she has updated those influences in the townhouse with a fresh and updated twist. Watch her explain her thoughts on collecting and how she combines antique furniture with contemporary fine and decorative art for a joyful experience for all! You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! For more visit quintessenceblog.com

  • Can we give a medal for bravery to Emily for her fearless use of color? What a relief from the decade of gray! And also, thanks to her for acknowledging the influences she’s had. 🏅

    • We'd be happy to award her for her both her bold use of color and design history expertise!!

    • I love color, so so much. But when I chose my main interior color, I chose gray. I panicked, I just didn't want white or beige. Now it's everywhere! My kitchen cabinets are a soft pink and my favorite part of my house. I want so badly to repaint everything one room at a time. I just can't decide on what to choose. I am also sick to death of white ceilings everywhere. It feels undone.

    • no online harrassment It happens. In moments of indecision it can be the best thing to go neutral until we can figure out something better. For ceilings, I’ve done a couple things. A tiny powder room is Sherwin Williams’ “Iron Ore” walls and ceiling. If you’re going bold in a place where you won’t be a long time, you may as well be fearless. In my front room and dining room, I snapped chalk lines 18” in from the walls and filled in with color - a medium taupe in the front room, which is deep green - and light blue in the dining room, which is an old gold sort of color. It’s just paint. If you don’t like it, change it. Most of all, love it. It’s your home. Good luck! 🍀

  • Wow! Perfect timing. I just sat down in my formal living room, (which I am in the process of decorating, I bought a new house in 2020) with my coffee and Mario Buatta book to strategize about paint colors and fabrics. Was gonna put on some music on KZhead and what do I see?????????? A psychic transcendence or a coincidence? I don't know but this was the perfect way to jumpstart my decision-making process. I went with the chintz fabric. Duh.

  • My roommates and friends all painted their walls in their 20's in Manhattan. I painted my walls and my kitchen cupboards when I was in my early 30's living alone on the UWS. I remember going to Janovic during the day and hanging out with real contractors learning how to do everything, how I needed a wood primer for the kitchen cupboards with a high gloss paint for grease and dirt in a kitchen. I felt like such a kick-ass woman hanging out with all these male contractors there to pick up supplies, it was such a confidence builder!! I painted the cupboards Caribbean Blue. Three of my walls were lilac and one wall was deep red I mixed from two reds myself because I couldn't find the perfect shade to be a nice backdrop for books in an open bookcase. When I moved out, my landlord was livid about the cupboards even though they had been that old, dark wood with tons of scratches from the "That Girl" 1960s era, I did them a favor! They weren't new, beautiful cupboards I ruined. "Did you paint the cupboards?! We have to put in all new cupboards! You're not getting your deposit back!" WORTH IT!!!

  • I'm 56 now, but I was in my 20s when I discovered the wonderful Mario Buatta via the one and only _Architectural Digest._ Through is his design approach, I realized that my world was way too small, too remote, too sheltered and I have since dreamed of rooms like these my entire life. Even my nightmares featured fine, empty, historic, homes waiting for his touch. RIP Maestro Buatta.
