All the best Tommy. I've loved you for years along with Sarah. May the future hold many good things as you soar! Open hearts, doors and arms for a big hug...you are the best!

[@lolabear3862]

I love him! He so relatable and humble. Plus, he looks amazing at soon to be 50!!!

[@lesliespencer5506]

Oh, I just love him! He's got such an incredible soul. You can feel his sincerity and earnestness with respect to his offer to help struggling designers. I've enjoyed his work in your magazine for years. Oddly, this is the first time I've heard him on video. I'm sure he's done plenty of them, per his comments, but what a treat! Genuinely nice human!

[@raquelisla7368]

Tommy is so elegant and humble! 👏👏👏👏💕

[@tsheolarakgahla7450]

I don't know how old I expected Tommy to be. But 50 was NOT what I expected. Although it makes sense. He's been on our screens for so long. He looks awesome!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

I know - I thought 30s.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

That wouldn't be logistically possible though based on how long he's been associated with Sarah and HGTV. He had to at least be in his 40s minimum.

[@shannon5203]

I clicked on this with lightning speed!! I just LOVE Tommy!!!! I’m so looking forward to seeing what he does in the future.

[@crowquilltarot]

"...we're all gonna open our hearts and our doors..." in case I hadn't loved Tommy enough for decades. WHAT A CLASS ACT. This was terrific; thank you.

[@pamluetkemeyer3304]

Love you Tommy! Best of luck and happiness on your exciting new endeavor!

[@joycestewart4893]

Congrats Tommy!! Have always loved your style.

[@saschacat]

I just love Tommy and being in Australia and watching all the Sarah shows I wondered what Tommy was doing with his life and career. So glad to hear that he is starting out on his own and I wish him all the best. Just love his designs.

[@texasgeeg5972]

OMGosh. This is great. I am Tommy Smythe’s biggest fan! He has the greatest style. So happy to see this. Thank you H&H!

[@debrasaumur6592]

No, I think I'm Tommy's biggest fan!!!!!!!

[@kath6585]

I think she talks a little to much and cuts people off, I would have liked to hear what he had to say more. Lovely hallway and black fireplace.

[@janemily2627]

I completely agree. She doesn't let them finish what they're saying and it's completely annoying.

[@lizwilliams14]

Charlie it’s called “interrupting”

[@Dianapohl]

I agree completely! I was going to post a comment about it! If the show is about him and what he's doing, let him speak, let him show and tell, and let us enjoy what he has to offer!

[@rmonson5002]

Admiration and applause for your bold decision and determination to jump into the next phase of your career! No matter our age, or stage, we have ideas and perspectives to offer. We may be vintage, but clients pay for antiques with charm and style. In business, that’s us!

All the very best to Tommy Smythe on his new business endeavor! Lynda I enjoyed this lovely interview with Tommy! Take good care.

[@caseytrudeau916]

Wish Tommy was the Subject AND the Interviewer -- I want to hear what he has to say!? Please, Tommy, consider your own You Tube Channel - I've suggested before the idea for your own Show called Tommy's Take Aways or Tommy's Away Takes (as you love travel, exploring, educating and always notice the most un-notable things!) Best of Luck Tommy and Thanks for H&H for supporting you!

[@megflat2981]

Casey Trudeau Tommy is so deserving of huge success and he should start his own utube channel! He doesn’t need talking heads!

Tommy I have been enjoying your work with Sarah and I wish you the best of luck on your new journey! I know you will succeed and exceed! And by the way I love, love the gallery wall! ❤️❤️❤️

Tommy is the best - love, love his style aesthetic 🦋

[@oliviacasino8888]

Oh Tommy, I am so glad I chanced across this posting as I’ve not seen you in so long! Yes, indeed, you so deserve/need to have your very own enterprise! It is long over due in fact. Of course, we fans adore you two (Sarah and you) as colleges in design and presentations, but it was observed early on the qualities, intellect, talent and vivacity which your presence brought to the scene. Please, please do more postings particularly at this stage of plague (Covid, say no more, say no more) as we shut-ins desperately need a blip of light, a dash of really good taste and your inevitable shinning wit to brighten our endless days. Blessings and cheery good luck in your coming enterprise and do keep us posted here in sunny old California.

[@rosaseay7218]

I love Tommy! You’re great! Love your sense of humor and style!

Love Tommy & totally agree on adding antique pieces to decor...they add such a lovely touch to any decor!

This housebound series is one of the best and most informative projects that I’ve seen you do. Thank you so much.

Tommy seems like the kind of person you can have a lovely chat with over a coffee or a glass of wine. I love his style. Best of luck Tommy.

[@haroldalexis4200]

It's been 3 years since that interview. I have watched Tommy Smythe. & Sarah Richardson in reruns of all they did together since 2020 . Working so well together with talent & some odd taste but works well who & how the clients are well pleased. He looks so great at 50 at that time. Can't believe it very good looking talented & works hard love his humor to. Had no idea He went solo thought he & Sarah were still together as working partners. Toronto i am familiar with it as that was my vacation spot is a awesome city when Design Inc was filmed there. Everything & the best to you Thomas Smythe. Great interview at a time of this terrible widespread of Covid 19 your shows kept my company at home very well. ❤

[@tamaraklingerlevi1753]

[@shirleylindsay5586]

I loved your interview with Tommy. I loved that guy. I happened on design, inc one day, and I have been binge watching it. He said on one episode that a lot of people may think he's a snob. No snob but a great guy who knows his business.

[@Jannie227]

Hi Tommy! love you and miss you hanging w Sarah. Good luck on your new adventure.

[@eastcoast-westcoast3944]

This has been such a great series. It really feels like a chat among friends. Serious talent(much of it Canadian). Have been a fan of LR and H&H for years. The "treat the hallway as a room" comment was spot on. A great hallway leads to a great room.

It was so nice to have a chat with Tommy. I always enjoyed Tommy on Sarah’s shows. However Tommy often seemed the comedic touch to her shows. So it’s nice to see his more serious side. I wish him every success with his new business and hope to see more of him online.

[@raquelisla7368]

She is lovely but she cuts in a lots, it is a pity. 🥺👍🏻

[@rmonson5002]

Exactly! I had to stop it to read the comments and see if anyone else noticed that. It BUGS.

[@AllThingsVon1277]

It appears she's interviewing Tommy if she doesn't interrupt he'll keep talking and the interview would be useless its an interior designer show.

[@Barb6106]

I was just going to mention this! Frustrating! She wants to shine over her guests. Stop interrupting!

[@mountain2816]

I followed Sarah since her TV show “Room Service”, you have always been part of Sarah ever since thereafter. Congrats to you Tommy for your company !!

Just found Sarah this past year and always thought just Tommy would be fab. So glad to see that he’s on his own. Looking forward to see more of his work.

Hi Linda, Perhaps it is a sound bounce thing but I am finding you are interrupting the person you are interviewing before they have finished speaking. I have enjoyed this series so much, thank you for undertaking same. Regards J.

[@janemily2627]

Linda doesn't read the comments because we've asked her, since the first episode, to stop interrupting the guests. It is very annoying, but more so, very rude. It is a really good series but the constant interrupting is ruining it for me.

Would love to see posts of Tommy's design. Can't get enough of him 😍

[@evaboldt653]

Tommy is great but the video is called a sneak peek into his home which it really wasn't. The hallway could have been shown and discussed but it was difficult to film a windowless hallway with a laptop, whereas a room would have more available light. I hope we can see some of Tommy's home in the future.

My fav one yet!!! Fun fact- my family took me to the big city (Regina Sk lol) for my 30th bday 10 years ago this past March. We went down for breakfast Saturday morning and Tommy was just coming out the restaurant at the hotel. I’ve been a fan of his for YEARS. I was so star struck I couldn’t talk. I just starred. Each time I saw him that day I started like a crazy person. Frozen. And then I thought of the things he was thinking about this crazy lady with his cheeky humor and froze even more!! Hahaha best bday ever. 😄

You are a beautiful lady to watch with much to say but your guests, I assure you, will not run away mid conversation.
