We need this in longer version of 2024 🎉

I simply don’t get all these comments moaning about Susanna „interrupting“ the home owners, thus being disrespectful towards them. The videos themselves are beautiful and Susanna and her guests feel like friends, intimately talking about art, design and architecture, a passion they all share and have in common. These are conversations we are invited in and should be thankful instead of making rude comments. Everyone who does not like the videos is welcome to watch something else.

I am not easily impressed by most designers and their curated homes but this one knocked me off my feet. A house that looks elegant and chic at the same time does not look designed to death. Totally livable and that gorgeous garden!

Honestly! My thoughts as well! Just gorgeous. This video totally brightened my day.

So many (most?) regular people have zero sense of how wonderful it is to surround yourself with beautiful things, well-presented in your home. I would never leave until I went thru every. single. one. of those magazines! :o) Regards from Indiana!

Ugh! Another splendid garden! My heart wept when I saw the reference library/guest room, for all those magazines I have had to dispose of over the years 'cause I could not keep them for lack of space...sigh. That was really a singular room; loved the intimacy of it. One day I'll have a home and you will HAVE to come visit me, lol!.

Прекрасно,светло и изчистено,не натрупано и цветно!

Best guests on this show, people with unique, yet, refined vision. I wish I knew people like this.

I would love to have seen more of this remarkable environment! Outstanding!

Breathtaking JewelBox! Love this!!!

Susanna thank you for posting these videos. They remind me of the 80's when design and decorating were all the rage. I was a Buyer at a renowned NYC retailer on 5th Ave. These videos bring me back to that time.

Thank you for the video. I have Mark's amazing book so the loveliness of his house was no surprise, but it is nice to see it in a video format, rather than just the still photos. I love the way he has his magazines on shelves in the guest room.

Elegant, and not too chunky or masculine! I love it. Mark's one of my dream designer. Sophisticated with modern sensibility.
