At Home with Veere Grenney in Tangier - Part 1 The House
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 05. 2024
- Tag along to Tangier for a behind the scenes visit with designer Veere Grenney at Gazebo, his extraordinary Moroccan home where his sophisticated style and well traveled eye have culminated in an intoxicating exotic paradise. See how Veere’s mix of international influences and years of experience result in a home that he describes as his “ultimate expression of beauty.” Hear how Tangier’s climate, people and artistic culture drew Veere to find a permanent home on The Old Mountain, overlooking the sea, with expansive views across to Spain and Gibraltar. Watch to learn how Veere embraced eclectic combinations of fabrics and furniture for a home that is supremely personal and effortlessly walks the line between refined and artisanal, with contributions of master craftsmen from both Morocco and England. Without a specific plan in mind, Veere’s design for Gazebo materialized instinctively. Learn how his love of colonial buildings and Regency architecture informed his choices, with stepped terraces leading down to his magnificent gardens (to be revealed in part 2 next week). For more on Gazebo and Veere’s two other homes, be sure to put his new book, Seeking Beauty, on your list, published by our video sponsor Vendome Press - link below.

I’m so glad you are making longer videos which allow us to spend more time “visiting” these gorgeous homes and their inspiring residents. Thank you Susanna and Stacey!
Our pleasure! This one was SO long, we have divided it into two episodes - gardens next week!
true, thank you for that
@@quintessenceblg Yes the deep dive is lovely, keep it going!
THAT view from his bedroom. What an exquisite home.
It really is!
So nice to see a 30 minute video instead of 10 minutes. Wonderful home and garden.
All I can say is his home is Beautiful his gardens are amazing I keep saying Quintessence is the best interior design channel on CZcams.
THANK YOU Raymond!! xx
As a proud Moroccan I have to say, he did us proud. What a home and what a location . Sukran for this Saturday treat
So glad you feel that way - it is our pleasure to share!
Unbelievably, stunningly gorgeous , 😮 your dress is beautiful and I am awed at this home and gardens. Excelently executed video So much charm and beauty. He is so intelligent and practical. I say this is my favorite of all time. Only you can give us this fenominal video
Thank you! We love your country!!
Susanna makes every home owner feel unique. She is so charming, love her !
You are so kind thank you!!
This is literally the first time that Susanna has been quiet and thoroughly inhaling all...the treasures of a home. It's like osmosis of trying to capture every detail of this gem. ❤
Amen about her being quiet! Finally!!!! WELL SAID!!!
She was speechless most of the time and I would be too. It took my breath away.
He is such a wealth of knowledge, I enjoy his personality. He has quite a warm personality, very unselfish, a relational person. She doesn’t need to talk much because he is more verbal.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING A VIEW LIKE THAT EVERY MORNING YOU WAKE UP TALK ABOUT THANKIN GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY DAY WHY BECAUSE YOU WAKE UP EVERY MORNING TO HIS BEAUTIFUL CREATION 😃🧡🙏🏿
Yes, the house and gardens were as lovely as the dress. And the gentleman, kind and gracious!
That DRESS!!
Absolutely. Positively. Unequivocally. EXQUISITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My goodness!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It really is!
I much prefer his home in Farringdon, UK.😊
Without question, Quintessence provides the most fantastic content on CZcams. Joyous. Thank you Susanna and Stacey.
🤗🙏🙏
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
The loveliest man, an incredible designer and a truly wonderful home. I am in love. I absolutely cannot wait for part two.
I want to visit Tangier just to meet this amazing gentleman! Would he receive a fan ??😊
Such a beautiful, comforting home, a place to cosy up with the books, the wood fire, the dogs, and a nice cup of tea. The view is amazing, the shades of blue in the sky and sea are so gorgeous! I am very glad that you are doing a part 2 on just the garden because that is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. Many English people are extremely talented gardeners. Thank you very much Veere for opening up your beautiful home in Morocco for us. Thank you to Stacey and Susanna for filming and bringing us around. Magnificent house! Love to you all.❤
It is truly our pleasure! Veere is so very talented and such a welcoming host. You will love the gardens!
I look forward to it! Thank you.❤
Well let’s all move to Morocco tomorrow! What a joy! Not much in this home - home not house - not much on its own is really my taste but assembled altogether I love it, I loved him and I loved his eclecticism, all his tales of provenance and his infectious delight at being alive. The garden is paradise on earth, the views are gorgeous, put the next video up now, I can’t wait to see it. Also, I loved Susanna’s dress in this episode. I felt this truly was eclectic multiculturalism as it should be, East and West and North and South all brought together in harmony. Note to self: a Snoring Room. Get one.
Yes to all!! Thank you for your attentive and insightful comment!
I agree, I wonder if there's an ex-pat community 🤩🤩
Beautiful home………and beautiful dress!
Thank you! Its Caftans by Mo
OMG, I didn't realize it's a newer house, not a traditional Moroccan house that's had every last trace of traditional architecture remodeled out of it. I was expecting a completely restored traditional home in the Medina.
What a pleasant surprise!
Addendum: These interiors are so calm. Everything has its place, and not one thing shouts "look at me" they just say "I'm here".
So gorgeous. Loved his message to just enjoy the small moments in life, such as a roaring fire, and to not be afraid to use your nice things!
Agreed!!
agree
Lovely long video. And kudos to Stacey for the smooth filming! Up the stairs, to the bathroom, through a door to the garden... No shaking hands, no hesitations.
Well thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
She’s amazing!!!!! I’m so lucky
I am in love with Veere Grenney's home. It is perfection. I can see why he would exist in the library, but those views. I love the entire house. Well done!
I’m here to support the OG for longer videos. Love this. Thank you Quintessence
Our pleasure!!
Absolutely mesmerising what a beautiful home and the attention to detail is mind boggling. Thank you for sharing. I could spend a week there and I don’t think I would see every detail.
Our pleasure and yes - there is so much inspiration.
Love the longer format.But with a home like that,you could film for hours and hours and still want more and more.Heaven on earth.Thank you ladies for sharing this remarkable home with us.I'm going to go water my meager porch plants now.
It's true - so glad you enjoyed!
Hah hah! I know wait until you see the garden next week!!
What an extraordinary home! I am blown away!
We were too!
Instant classic episode!!
omg! how can I wait til next week?! Part l is a magical tour of elegance and taste...all warmly presented as if to an old friend...Veere Grenney is a master of living ones very best life.
Agreed - Veere is so supremely talented!
Oh, what a delight! Thank you so much. So good to have you back! Look forward to Part 2.
I have grown nasturtium before but never knew there was climbing variety until seeing those by the door, beautiful house, thank you.
Look for seeds or plants with "majus" in the name. That's the vining type.
@@louisebaker3793 thank you
thank you Quintessence ... what a gift !!! wow! magnífico!!!
You are most welcome!
Oooooohhhh, Y E S !!! Finally! THIRTY-THREE MINUTES! Oh, thank you thank you, Quintessence...this is fabulous. It's inspiring. It's life affirming. Thank you for Veere Grenney and Susanna and Stacy, and everyone who contributed to this.
Thank YOU!! And agreed - life affirming!
Thank you for watching!!!!!
It took me more than an hour to view the 32 mins. because I kept freezing the frame in each room to absorb the beauty of his compositions & his philosophy. I am now viewing this episode a second time and will keep reviewing it until I transform my 125 year old home in the Algarve.
I am so glad there will be a part two. I could listen to this charming man forever! What a charming and gorgeously decorated house and garden!
Me too!!
So glad - Veere is a delight and the gardens are spectacular!
This is one of best ever! I love his philosophy and a very good looking man too. Thank you.
Veere is an utter delight!
Thank you Suzanna and Stacy for such a lovely home tour. You have truly made my day more inspiring. I love the new longer format and can’t wait until part 2 is posted❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad - thank you!! And I think you will love part 2!
Beautiful nasturtium at the entrance! Loved this video & the longer format!
I’m so excited to see that this is the only episode I’ve ever seen that’s over 30 minutes long! my only complaint ever has been that your videos are so good but they leave us too soon, by being so short .I’ve been dreaming of this moment, and this house is the perfect subject! Thank you so much for sharing! Everything about this episode is absolutely divine‼️
Thank you so much! And you will love part 2!!
@@quintessenceblg You’re very welcome, your videos bring so much joy and beauty🙏🏼 SO looking forward to part 2 !!
@@elizabethzapac3203🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yay, another episode of fab decor and design!
Thank you!!
What a beautiful house!!! And of course another exceptional video!!! Love it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!👏🙏❤️
❤Ohmygoodness. I want to live there!!! I'd water plants and dust and clean and assist them with whatever they needed. To be that close to such brilliance in design . . . one couldn't purchase such an experience. I wish I could go there!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I must admit it's incredible!!
I would happily do the same ! ✔️🤗
Beautiful gardens. Thank you.
Gorgeous. The ebony bed was a a particular standout.
Gorgeous,nothing is too much ,what a dream home 🌿🍃
I can't wait to see the gardens!
You will love!!
House, garden, food, hospitality 👌💙🦋💙
“It’s modest but it keeps on giving everyday.” What a wonderful truth thought about geraniums. He is a kindhearted man who has created a truly beautiful place. Thank you for this.
Just a beautiful home thanks for sharing this wonderful home and family
Thank You! I feel like I just had a beautiful, exotic get-a-way. What a lovely home and garden!!! The most important take away for me, as a designer, is that nothing matters, if it's just beautiful, it's what's personal that is ESSENTIAL. Veere shows us all how he does it so well. Brava All!
EXACTLY!! We love homes that are personal and we love learning from the best! So glad you loved - thank you!!
@@quintessenceblg😂
You this time have truly outdone yourself. Absolutely fabulous
Well thank you!!
Exquisite! Mouthwatering!
You never miss. Every video presents a different perspective on beauty and life. You must have so much fun visiting these lovely people and their homes. Blessings
Thank you!!
Thank you so much and we do!!
Just wow! What a location, what a house, what a designer...
Absolutely gorgeous...one of the best stories you have share! Thank you! x Coty
Thank you Coty!!
The colors are so pretty!
Wonderful. I’m so thrilled for the in depth length of the video and the gentleman is delightful. Just gorgeous.
About two weeks ago I found about 16 medium sized terracotta pots under our oil tank ❤ They are now all filled with pink geraniums - some are in a line on my wall and the rest are on the table on our decking 🎉
👏👏👏
👏👏👏
Perfect!!!
Simply sublime. A perfect combination of refined items and simple things. Moroccan tiling gets on well together with yellow Adirondacks 🤓a genius
Agreed!
Thank you so much for this most wonderful long video. Watching your channel is one of my most favourite things to do. Wish some of your most recent videos were also longer. I savour every moment and can’t wait for the next one!
Susanna, this video presents us with an experience to be enjoyed over and over and over. And, the beauty of this peaceful place was enhanced by Veere's free childlike attitude and your interactions together. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it.
Our pleasure! - Stacey (behind the camera)
I love Veere’s attitude too!!🙏🙏💜
Charming video. Susanna , I loved your dress. Beautiful on its own but perfect for the location of this video.🎉
This is paradise and he is the man! Everything is just so but nothing too precious about it. Perfect.
WHAT a great guy! Thanks for letting us meet him. Our philosophy on enjoying life is so similar. Even geraniums… Haha.
Perched in the most magical spot overlooking the ocean..bliss.
🌿🚣♂️🌿
Your dress is gorgeous!!!
This was wonderful! Looking forward to part 2!
So glad - you won't be disappointed!
Hermoso jardín, una casa acogedora, amo tus videos❤
Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU for the longer episode first of all. Second, that house is inspirational!
You are most welcome!
Perfection...and I've missed you Susanna! More beautiful homes please❤your channel
This is the best house you have ever filmed.
OMG! Who gets to live like this! Did he say something about other people who live and work there? Where do I send my resume? Regards from Indiana-- so very far away from this enchanting home...
Ha! Get in line! ;-)
I know what you mean: never wanted to leave!
I'm an excellent gardener! Where do I submit my resume?
I’ve seen pictures of this house before but I never knew it’s Veere Grenney. I would never have guessed this is Tangier. I love how immaculately clean and well proportioned everything is. It almost looked staged. ❤
I can assure you it is very lived in!
This visit by Quintessence is divine and breathtaking. Veere's home and garden is exquisite. I've watched it about 3 times already.
Just stunning what a beautiful property I love it all ❤️🐨🦘
Such a beautiful house, I had to rewind & pause the video quite a few times in order to take it all in…and of course, I almost DWL when he said this is where you shove “the lover or the one who snores…this is their room!” I’m definitely stealing that idea! 😂😂😂 I’m also obsessed with plumbagos!! I have them everywhere on my property and they’re just fabulous when they’re all in bloom! Enjoyed this video tour Susanna!❤❤
LOL! So glad you loved!
All of your videos are wonderful and jaw dropping.!!! This is my favorite.
Wow - I'm seriously jealous of the climate 😮 absolutely beautiful
The setting and gardens are close to the best in the world!
Thank you for taking us on this wonderful tour of Mr. Grenney's home! I am blown away by the beauty of it all, and Mr. Grenney is extremely interesting to listen to. I can't wait for part 2!!! ❤
Lovely gentleman that embraces what he loves in his house as we should.
Most of the rooms remind me of homes in Connecticut. Love, love, love the library room. Potted Geraniums are all you need.
A lit fireplace, candle light, a comfy chair and a snoring dog! Heaven!
So beautiful plates ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Beautiful garden, home and dress!! Amazing!! Greetings from Italy!😍
Grazie!
Thank you!!
What a home! I just love his style. Saving for design inspiration. Thank you Quintessence for sharing this with all of us.
Our pleasure !
Absolute beauty at every turn…fantastic interaction and tour…one of your best!
the view at 16:56 😍Imagine seeing that daily. What a blessing to let us see into his home.
Wow! Hoping this house is as lovely as the dress you are wearing!!! Let's see!
Thank you! It’s from Caftans by Mo
Wow! Beautiful … beautiful ♥️🥂🥂
Simply beautiful. So much to look at. Love this
So glad!
I just yesterday told the Ballards store manager in Tampa about Quintessence. She was familiar with the episode that featured their president. How perfect to have a new visit posted--and with Veere Grenney! Thank you, thank you. And thank Veere Grenney. I must be livin' right.
You are most welcome. And thank you for passing along our channel.
❤❤❤Some people are great storytellers, and Veere Grenney is one of them!!! You ladies always have the best guests and homes showcased on Quintessence.❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
Splendid...
Oh my goodness! Each room got better and better. I was like a kid in a sweet shop wanting them all while trying to decide on only one. The dining room is exquisite. The wall colour, the china displays and those palm trees. Absolutely spectacular without looking pretentious. Can't wait to see part two.
Exactly and I think you will adore the gardens!
Fabulous! I am inspired…and drooling! Thank you for a lovely tour.
You are very welcome!!
Oh Susanna I envy you. Such beautiful places and friends. Thank you for sharing all of it with all of us. God bless.
I am Stacey (behind the camera) but we both feel very lucky that we are able to visit these amazing homes and talented designers!
Absolutely Fabulous ❤ I have a red Geranium at my front door. They are robust, cheerful and will grow in the hot Australian sun. Carnations are/were out because Queen Elizabeth loathed them - so everybody followed that trend. Who doesn't need a "snorer's room"? Love it! What a wonderful man. Thanks for showing us this gorgeous house and its stories.
Quintessence- many try to imitate it but never replicate it. This video is a stand out in so many awestruck homes. This is uninspiring and aspiring. 💛
Thank you so much for your supportive words!
He is the loveliest man! His design style is not only gorgeous but so inviting
I love all of Susanna's tours/interviews. She is such a gracious host and she always presents inspiring examples of beautiful homes.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!
I had expected brighter colors and greater use of Moorish motifs, but after learning of the English influence via New Zealand, his style make sense. The ebony bed!!! And that view! I love how he explained Gibraltar and Spain are 'just over there'. Every day must be a treat in this amazing place. I too like to frame tapestries and embroidered pieces; the first I did to protect it from dust, and soot coming from the fireplace, then I realized I loved the look. Also keeps them safe from cats, who manage to levitate when there is something you really don't want them to claw, lol. I so enjoy hearing the thought process these various designers put into their homes, and how they really live when not on camera. I also love the spicy scent of carnations, which are the birth month flower for us January folks. Again...that view!
Contento por ver una nueva historia Una gran historia Gracias Susanna Salk
It is the most amazing home and entourage until now in this podcast Thank you Quintessence for showing it to us
Our pleasure!
Wow. To live with a view like that 😍
Wonderful! Love, love, love Veere Grenney's homes....he is such an incredible interior designer! Thanks so much, Susanna and Stacey.
Our pleasure!! He is indeed incredibly talented.
