Two shows.
One evening.
At 7.30pm, Our House. At 8.30pm, Changing Rooms. Around 40 weeks a year, for almost a decade, Suzie carried two consecutive prime-time programs on the same night, a run no other woman in Australian television had held solo.
The room reveal became national ritual.
Every week, families gathered for the moment a door opened and a room became something else. Suzie stood in the middle of that transformation, holding the nerves of the homeowners and the attention of a nation at once.
The work was live in feeling if not always in broadcast: real houses, real budgets, real people who had handed over their homes and had to live with the result.

Laying It Down
A memoir and a method, from a woman a nation watched while she quietly carried what no one could see. The early list gets first access, first pricing and the first chapter before anyone else.
No noise. Only news about Laying It Down.
