Oh my goodness I can’t imagine who would criticize her. A real and open human being. What a joy.

[@marynoonan6111]

I think this is the first home EVER that’s been shown like this that looks legit. People actually live here & she didnt do a makeover before they arrived. It had a lovely lived in vibe. Gorgeous views

[@shelaghward9621]

Yes ! ….a proper family home ….not a “ Show “ house !

[@annishilcock4587]

What an honest and inspiring story. To be so forgiving and understanding of her Mother and in spite of the problems she may have caused, still to look to the good and be grateful to her. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolineramage7480]

Mmmmmm? Sorry, but I do wonder if she would of had the same point of view if she had of grown up in poverty. The wealth and culture would of certainly knocked the rough edges off.

[@annishilcock4587]

@@carolineramage7480 What on earth has wealth got to do with understanding the mental health of her mother?. Ever read Shuggie Bane, or know the childhood history of Angela Rayner?

[@michaelmercurio2312]

How nice to see a house that actually looks like people live there. Beautiful

[@susanbrowell9925]

I'd forgotten what a delight Susannah Constantine is and her home is every bit as lovely as she is.

[@clarecollins2547]

I don’t know how Susannah can be so grounded. It’s a testament to her character. ❤

[@guywolf5145]

Hi Susannah, The drawing room gets its name from the 16th century term withdrawing room, where the guests, for example, would withdraw to for the eg entertainment or I guess we may use today as a comfortable sofa space. Lovey home ❤️

[@jessk7240]

Yes, come on Susannah, you should know this being so posh n all. I was a council house kid and I know this 😁

[@user-dj3mn4pq8r]

@@jessk7240 exactly what I was thinking - surely she should know that!

[@kathleengrill9864]

@guywolf5145 Thank you , I just learned something new , love history of design.

[@marjierobinson564]

I’m sure she knows it ! 😂

[@AnnMargaretCP]

Loved Susannah my whole life and I just knew her house would be fabulous and homely, hope to see a full tour one day ❤️

[@nickywilks7928]

Suzanne is so lovely and down to earth.

[@dkane2067]

You could really have a cuppa with your feet on the sofa and she wouldn’t bat an eyelid, very well spoken but so down to earth, love her 🤩❤️

[@jeanblyth6305]

Do miss seeing her on TV with Trini .Susannah is such a lovely lady “ ❤️❤️❤️

[@kellyconnor8244]

What a lovely authentic person. Out of all of the house tours I’ve ever seen I warned to her the most. Think her mum would be very proud of her. ❤

Gorgeous hair and beautiful outfit, Susannah looks lovely and her openness and honesty shines through

[@coeniedevilliers8792]

What is there not to love about this wonderful lady!Thank you for showing us your sanctuary. Calm and beautiful with the gorgeous light streaming in.

[@notaclue822]

I love Suzannah. She shows us everything, warts and all. That painting her father made of her mother is wonderful.

[@triplet3023]

Susannah, I used to watch you and Trinny Woodall and loved that show. I think I felt a bit more of an affinity to you in that show. I love the way to communicate to all of us, so naturally and the honesty you show. I grew up in Canada but was born in Rutland; a triplet and we were the youngest of eight. My biological father left us when we were around three or four because he could not handle it. I was separated from them all when I was almost seven and taken to Canada to live. Agreeably, there are things in life that happen to us and it can affect the way you think or the things you do. I never resented my mother for giving me up or was angry, you understand the circumstances. I admire your honesty regarding being a recovering alcoholic. Thank you for sharing your home and a small part of your life with us. You are amazing!

[@shelaghward9621]

Susannah comes across as such a lovely down to earth person . I loved a glimpse of her beautiful comfy home ! Xx

Flannel wash in the kitchen sink, brilliant!

[@rosieHolliday5887]

Perfection! I too want to spend my end days as a crazy hermit old lady living, loving life in a kitchen. With a couple of sofas, a bed & of course two grumpy old cats & a mad dog. The dream. This was beautiful to watch x

[@reallydarlings-se2xf]

Withdrawing room. Always loved the Trinny and Susannah series.

[@EsteeWalts]

Of course....rather stupid not to know that.

[@gillsargisson8863]

Loved this video, could listen to Susannah all day - She should have her own KZbin channel ❤

[@FluffyFace-mj3ro]

I greatly enjoyed the tour, loved the tranquil colours used on the bathroom walls and the very beautiful wallpaper. Suzanne is so refreshingly candid, a truly delightful woman. Not an ounce of artifice, love that the husbands clothes were draped across the bed, a slice of real life. A very real snack food list too, I laughed aloud at 'maltesers'

[@mimib95]

What a warm and lovely woman Susannah is.

[@bohemia9956]

A wanna be your friend Susannah...i have never felt so much instant warmths, authencity, charme and honesty coming from someone over a tv-screen❤ what a beautiful woman, what a beautiful soul.

[@KristiinaBerg]

A really lovely conversation, emotional but in a non-dramatic way. Would have liked to see more of the house.

[@Ericthegreat1483]

Very charming interview but would have loved to have seen more of the huge house full of character

[@Kiwiwanderer]

Her hair is to die for. She’s lovely.

[@maxineboudrie6349]

Gorgeous house and so comfortable and relaxing. A real home unlike some of the so called perfect houses on Instagram with perfect owners always striving for perfection. Susannah is so refreshing I read her memoir and loved it. She is a real person with a real lived in house. Thank you for sharing

[@lindahyatt3935]

Best interview ever with this inspiring woman. She's beyond delightful. Several more follow up videos are needed!

[@mushypeas468]

I totally agree 👍

[@kategrey3868]

I’m American, and never watched What Not to Wear, so wasn’t familiar with Susannah Constantine. Wow, what a real woman - talking about her mother’s mental illness, and allusions to her own alcoholism. Who can’t relate to life being less than perfect? Best of all was the tour of the bedroom, including damp on the wall, her husband’s clothes and flies. I love you now.

[@Tgirl65able]

Susannah is such a survivor - classy, honest, elegant and real. Her house is to die for, made even better by not being perfect.

[@valsmith8113]

Oh darling…Thankyou for sharing your heart with all of us….I was feeling down today because my mom told me I was a f:::::::ng nobody ten minutes before she died after I took care of her mean ass for twenty plus years because she was blind….no she didn’t have dementia…..she told me very day of my life that she never ever wanted kids that we were all BIG mistakes…..Thankyou again. Hugs carolyn

[@pegsbarton6353]

The fact that you took care of your mother until she dies, regardless of the truly appalling things she said to you, means you are a beautiful, forgiving human being. Your mother - sadly - was not. There may have been reasons for the way she was and the abuse she dished out to you. It doesn't matter now, let it go. You've proved yourself to be a wonderful, caring person Carolyn. Chin up now, be proud, live the rest of your life knowing that you are a treasure amongst women.🤗

[@melindaferreira9879]

Much 💖. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️.. I took care of my mom too for 12 years.. she was not a kind or loving mom. She has Alzheimer's/ dementia. It's our turn to live. Without regret. We did what needed to be done. Hugs. 💯🙏🏼💐💐❤️❤️❤️
