It's nice to know that just because you have a sibling that is rich and famous doesn't mean you have to mooch off of them. Kristen could have probably bought them a bigger house. It's also cool to see she is so down to earth.
I always thought Kristen Bell was sweet. I saw it here for myself. How wonderful she was able to do this for her sis and her family. Lovely. This vid made my day. Lucy, I love your new room!
Great job! I have to say that I welled up when she called Tom her brother. So many in-laws are treated badly by siblings and family members. I've always called my brothers' wives my sisters....we didn't have any growing up....so it's an incredible honor to have them in our lives.
I am a senior citizen, retired, and was never an entertainment person. I have never seen a Kristen Bell movie, but have seen, via UA-cam, her appearances on the Craig Ferguson show. Those appearances told me Kristen is a very "alive," outgoing person, and I think this proves she still has those Midwest roots and grounding. (I live in Ohio, but hey, I still think she's lovely and to be admired.) Way to go. Family, in the end, is always what it is about.
You ladies make me miss my sister even more. I lost her in 1993 when I was 16 and she was 21. She was our rock as well. Y’all keep each other close always. Much love ❤️
I know this is a plug for Houzz and I totally can't afford to shop on their site, but I'm a huge fan of Kristen Bell and couldn't resist watching. I'm not sure who I wish I could be more: Kristen, the giver, or Sarah and her family, the receivers. Definitely got teary along with the family!
What a great sister and an awesome job Kristen & your so right Sara deserved it she's always doing something for all of her family. Luv it you deserved it Sara , luv your cousin Sue
I cried a little watching this...How humble of a life her sister and family lives. Very beautiful! They definitely have the right perspective and raised a beautiful ...DAUGHTER...Mom and Dad can be very proud. You can just "feel" the "love" their family shares!
How could anyone not love this??? Made me well up too....such a sweet sister, everyone thinks because she is an actress she must do something like this for her entire family. Not every family member is demanding of their "famous" siblings. I think Kristen was very kind to help her big Sissy, by giving her Niece and Nephews such a great and very well thought out gift. Kudos Kristen, and good job Designer Melissa!!
I love simple people. The family and Kristen seems very down to earth real folks. This basement design is great and totally unexpected from the house exterior (which makes it even better imho).
I love Kristen Bell and it was lovely to see that even as an A list actress etc she still is grounded by her roots and where she comes from and what she did for her sister was brilliant. You could see the love and closeness even though they live far apart and I think in this day and age it's heart warming to see families still so close ❤️
Kristen it's no secret what a wonderful young lady you are and how it would just be right that your family plays a big part of who you are! What a loving sweet thing to do and Dax is one lucky man! Love you and your movies!
I love Kristen Bell,and as a Michigan girl, I am excited that this all happened in The Mitten. I only wish I had the means to do this for my sisters! xoxo
Kristen Bell is probably one of the only celebs that I actually admire and have always looked up to as an inspiration. I hope to one day be able to do the same thing for my family
So cool. One of my favorite actresses and had no idea we have the same home town. She's awesome for doing this for her sister,niece, and nephews. You can tell she has a genuine kind heart wish her much more success in her career!
Your Detroit family is so adorable. I am from 8mile south Warren Michigan next to Detroit. I know first hand how a restart in your house can make you feel rejuvenated. Thank God for sisters like you.. God Bless your home and family.
Kristen has a caring thoughtful heart. An invisible thread connects them all together forever with love... A wonderful transformation for the whole family.
Love, love, love this, Kristen!!! You did such a great job (and you too, Tom & Melissa!). Did I get a little teary-eyed? Why, yes, yes I did. I'm the oldest of four girls, so I totally get the love-of-sister thing. My sisters are my best friends. Good on you to spoil Sara in such a beautiful way. And, nice room, Lucy! I've worked as an interior decorator and I'm about to downsize. I'll definitely use Houzz to help with the design process. xoxo
I just found this video today and I had to send it to my mom and sisters. We lived in Madison Heights until I was in 2nd grade. When we moved there were 7 of us in a small brick ranch that looked almost exactly like this house. How we would have loved a basement like this. Such efficient use of space and such a kind thing to do. So glad I found this and will be subscribing!!
Oh! My Goodness, my cheeks started aching when I realized I was smiling while the family was viewing their new Living room, play space, homework station / arts n crafts station, bathroom and Lucy’s Room! My reaction was as spontaneous as theirs! Good job, Melissa and crew, and Little Sister!
Awe, this is so wonderful; I love how much love & kindness is shared by Kristen & her sister/family!!! The finished rooms are awesome; great job, enjoy! Blessings to all involved!!!
I really am happy watching this video. When grandma came over with the kids to see everything I saw what a beautiful family and love they have what a wonderful gift.
I was so pleased to see what Kristen did for her sister and her family. That was a labor of love, and it looked like fun to plan. Good for you #KristenBell! Congratulations to your sister Sara and her family- what a beautiful place for you to spend your time.
My favourite part is when Sarah says her daughter will think the whole basement is hers and u can come in if u have to... And then she laughs..... That was so Real. Loved her laugh and her happiness. So wonderful to see sisters loving each other. They are the real elsa and Anna 😍😘 funnily enough I didn't even think of that until I started typing lol
What a wonderful gift of love. My sister is my best friend and I can't imagine being able to do something like this for her. It is a beautiful functional space now. Wish you would have shown the laundry area though.
More tears with this series than I'd imagined as each episode clearly reveals the gift of love shared is a beautiful thing indeed! When you need a pick me up to your day...view my HOUZZ!!!
More than the wonderful and thoughtful gift you gave your sister and her beautiful family; it’s the affection, love, care and respect that touched me so much. Tears as I too had wonderful sister who I lost recently and miss her everyday
I have never added a comment to a UA-cam video before, but this video was so awesome and sweet! I have always been a fan of Kristen Bell! She is just fun to watch! What a beautiful thing to do! 😊🙏❤️
I love this!! I love when celebrities and well known people use their money to give back to the community and their families. I know this was not about having money though and anybody who has more than three kids definitely deserves something like this!
I almost cried. I love the videos that they put up, it is not only a show case of creativity and great houses but the stories and love touches the heart, it means so much more
Great job little sister ! You are a great person , and you truly love your family . That’s what God wants all of us to be . The designer is awesome . Sarah is humble .
the more i learn about Kristen Bell...the more i like her. she is a genuinely good person
“home shouldnt be a place u place u escape from, ot should be a place u escape to”. this video changed the way i looked at my home....
It's nice to know that just because you have a sibling that is rich and famous doesn't mean you have to mooch off of them. Kristen could have probably bought them a bigger house. It's also cool to see she is so down to earth.
Hopefully this gets the designer a bunch of business because her personality is awesome and she did a great job.
I always thought Kristen Bell was sweet. I saw it here for myself. How wonderful she was able to do this for her sis and her family. Lovely. This vid made my day. Lucy, I love your new room!
A sister always deserves the best. A sister always deserves thanks.
Great job! I have to say that I welled up when she called Tom her brother. So many in-laws are treated badly by siblings and family members. I've always called my brothers' wives my sisters....we didn't have any growing up....so it's an incredible honor to have them in our lives.
I always liked Kristin Bell. Now I am a a bigger fan. What a sweet gesture.
Kristen's voice is always so soothing
I am a senior citizen, retired, and was never an entertainment person. I have never seen a Kristen Bell movie, but have seen, via UA-cam, her appearances on the Craig Ferguson show.

even if it wasnt made for me, i cried too
Yeah happy to make someone happy
You ladies make me miss my sister even more. I lost her in 1993 when I was 16 and she was 21. She was our rock as well. Y’all keep each other close always. Much love ❤️
I had a long and negative day and this video made me so happy. thank you everyone. ^_^
Nick Your profile pic made me so happy! Hope u have a great weekend.
Nick
ha me too. Her face helps :)
This is what happens when you raise kids right... They do genuine things for each other without all the showmanship... Love Kirsten!

Wow! Wasn't expecting to be in tears over this. This was so wholesome
What a wonderful sister. What a wonderful sister relationship.
Okay... I’m 72 and have tears in my eyes! So much love and gratitude: the two things life is all about! ❤️😍❤️
What a great sister and an awesome job Kristen & your so right Sara deserved it she's always doing something for all of her family. Luv it you deserved it Sara , luv your cousin Sue
Susan Ridder you have an awesome family.
This series is awesome. I love watching and I always end up crying. 😫
I think Kristen has clearly earned a spot in the good place! That's sisterly love for sure.
I cried a little watching this...How humble of a life her sister and family lives. Very beautiful! They definitely have the right perspective and raised a beautiful ...DAUGHTER...Mom and Dad can be very proud. You can just "feel" the "love" their family shares!

Kudos Kristen, and good job Designer Melissa!!
This is absolutely adorable. I loved the kids' reaction when they got in and how much love there is in Kristen's family. So cute!

Tom and Sara, totally deserved this reno project! I think Kristen did an amazing job for her very hard working sister! *Tears* Awesome Job!
Woww. What a beautiful thoughtful heartwarming renovation. Such a great idea to give the oldest girl her own space. So many thoughtful decisions.
Just loved everything about this video...the wonderful people in it, the beautiful design and the amazing results.
I can't get over how Kristen is just as sweet as she looks.
Kristen it's no secret what a wonderful young lady you are and how it would just be right that your family plays a big part of who you are! What a loving sweet thing to do and Dax is one lucky man! Love you and your movies!
iam a 58 year old carpenter from new jersey it actually made me cry the love that family has for each other great job kristen
I love Kristen Bell,and as a Michigan girl, I am excited that this all happened in The Mitten. I only wish I had the means to do this for my sisters! xoxo

This literally brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful thing to do for your younger sister. You're an inspiration!
I've always loved Kristen and this is exactly why. She's so selfless and giving to everyone
Your Detroit family is so adorable. I am from 8mile south Warren Michigan next to Detroit. I know first hand how a restart in your house can make you feel rejuvenated. Thank God for sisters like you.. God Bless your home and family.
I absolutely LOVE Kristen Bell! been a fan since Veronica Mars. she's so sweet and humble and down to earth.
Kristen has a caring thoughtful heart. An invisible thread connects them all together forever with love... A wonderful transformation for the whole family.
Love, love, love this, Kristen!!! You did such a great job (and you too, Tom & Melissa!). Did I get a little teary-eyed? Why, yes, yes I did.

So beautiful and respectful of one another. It’s beautiful to see family lift each other up. Kudos Kristen. The renovation is so cute.
Sisters' helping sisters melts my heart. I cry all the time because there is nothing like having sisters.
Love the box with "nothing is truly lost until your mom can't find it" quote at 16:20
Oh! My Goodness, my cheeks started aching when I realized I was smiling while the family was viewing their new Living room, play space, homework station / arts n crafts station, bathroom and Lucy’s Room! My reaction was as spontaneous as theirs! Good job, Melissa and crew, and Little Sister!
What a beautiful soul you have Kristen....the world needs more people like you...no such thing as too much love!!

It brought me tears to my eyes to see so much sister love here. It's like the love I have with my sister and my brothers.

I'll admit it, I cried. So sweet of her. Sheesh!!!! ❤️
How sweet and down to earth are they? OMG, this is so sweet. This renovation is lovely.
