Oh please Laura, do record when you sit down with your mom to do a garden design. Wow, that’s a major renovation! But it’s going to be so beautiful! I can’t wait to see how she decorates it. I hope she puts the cascading stairs back on the porch. When we removed our deteriorating back deck, I had my husband to build my back porch with the cascading steps like your mom’s! I just loved them so much and how she decorated them. ❤ I so wish your mother had her own channel. She just has such a wonderful personality and a loving spirit about her 🥰
So happy for your Mom! It's like she will be living inside her own custom made Hartley. Thank your Mom for allowing this update. It's going to be glorious. She deserves it!!
Wow! Thanks to lovely Susan for allowing us to see the progress of this amazing transformation. Can’t wait to see the final results, including the new gardens. 💚
A very big thank you to Ken or Aaron or both for finding all that footage to show what the house looked like before. I’ve seen all the old videos but it was so nice to have all those clips in this video for a reminder of what it used to look like. I know how much work that must have been! It looks so great already and I’m excited for the final review!
Holy cow!!! I thought it was going to be a simple bump out!!! I should have known better. Brilliant plan, and I can see your mom dancing around with the grandkids in there. So thrilled for her!!!
I love how your mom planned this whole remodel so her growing family can eat together in comfort. There is nothing more special than family shared holiday’s. Many thanks to your mom for her willingness to take us along. Showing us the before pictures really helped us to visualize the changes. It isn’t easy to live in the midst of a remodel but the end results will be so worth it.
Oh, how generous of your mom to bring us along thank you! The light the light is going to be so fantastic in that space and it will be like you are living in the garden. What a wonderful addition I hope you get many many years of enjoyment out of it.
I am SOOO glad that your mom was willing to extend the project to the connecting areas to make it cohesive, as well as raise the ceiling height - what a HUGE impact! What a BEAUTIFUL space and even more - a HAPPY space it already is - I Couldn't be happier for your parents!
Yes! Please film as much as your parents are comfortable with ....next Spring, their garden makeover please and planning with your mom. New projects are so inspiring!!! Thanks so much to Susan for letting us in her "vulnerable space.. Oh my, it's going to be a glorious family/intimate space , halfway in the garden at all times , four seasons front row viewing❣🍂❄🌱🌷🌻
Laura, your Mom is a precious Jewell. So kind of her letting us see the Reno project. I’m looking so forward to seeing it all completed. Thanks so much for the tour.
I love that you are increasing sq footage to accommodate your grownup family. It shows where your heart lies. The views have become your art - It’s going to be wonderful.
Your mom is the cutest! It's going to look so beautiful!! I'm so happy for your parents and I agree with your mom. It's so good that her contractor is telling her what will look nice in the end. Fantastic job! Makes me want to renovate something!
15.33 Talking about the contractors being tidy, the owners of my rented home have finally invested some money into new siding, windows, and exterior stuff of my home over the last couple of months. One of the things that initially impressed me the most was that the organized their trash in the huge dumpster they had parked in my driveway. They ORGANIZED their trash! I was flabbergasted and so full of respect for them. I am so excited for your mom's renovations. It will be spectacular. Thank you so much for showing us.
Susan is such a lovely woman! I can't even imagine how wonderful their home and garden will be with the addition of the new dining room and larger deck! Love it ❣
Thank you, 'Mom', for your vulnerability today showing your home. I can imagine how hard it must be to have all of us looking in when it may not be where you want it for all of us 'guests'. But know, exactly where it is at is STUNNING!! We are all so excited for you to have such a big and beautiful space to enjoy yourself and to enjoy with your family. Know thar in the middle of all the construction chaos prayers are being lifted for you to find the peace and joy your heart needs to get to the end of the project. Hugs from Spokane.
It must be exhausting for your Mom, but you can hear the excitement in her voice. It’s going to be beautiful and well worth the wait. The interaction between you and your Mom, mirrors the relationship between my Daughter and I. Thanks for giving us a view and I can picture it decorated for Christmas, even in this unfinished condition.🎄🥂
Susan seems very excited about the project but she also seems tired. Understandably so, if she is … Lots to lie awake at night, thinking about, I’m afraid. No doubt it will be as tasteful and beautiful as she is when the reno is completed.
I wish I could know how your sweet Mom keeps such a cheerful over all attitude! Its truly a gift and one I wasn't born with. I love seeing you together. Such a precious relationship there. Her home as Matriarch will be gorgeous and filled with love and joy!
We really love your Mom! From antique shopping, recovering from her foot/leg surgery, and now to home & yard renovations! She is going to really love it when it is all completed!
Ah, how nice for your mom to finally have space for her family! And, I finally understand the lay of the land. Seeing the garden shed and new garden boxes from the new addition is beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product!
OMGosh, this is SO EXCITING and I'm happy for your Mom! And Dad won't have to live this way much longer. It's OK since living this way for the short time will produce such a FANTASTIC new beginning - without leaving home. YEA. The new garden is going to be wonderful and YES include us in the planning and excavation! Happy Thanksgiving for you all!
I just love your momma - she’s so sweet, yet spunky!! I lost my momma 8 years ago and she was much like yours. Treasure your time together Laura, life is way too short! Hugs to your precious momma❤️❤️. Thank you Susan for showing us your remodel, it’s going to end up fabulous!
Laura's mom: "I want it to feel like I'm living in a garden. " ❤❤❤ What a way to capture a gardener's heart! Love, love, love it! I can't wait to see the end result!
Thank you so much for allowing us this tour. Those of us with private lives that live vicariously through your videos often forget how public opening yourself to tours can be. I appreciate your sacrifice!
We love to see renovation projects not just the after effects.. A brunch of us are here to learn and study the how to of a remodel or redo! Oh my gosh, please dont be embarrassed!!! Its exactly what we all want to understand.
Your mom and dad's home is so full of beautiful memories and so much more memories in store. The new addition is so bright and open. I absolutely love how Susan is living in the garden, and all those huge doors and windows. Love t his so much.
Yeah! So exciting! You can do this Mom! It’s only a few to several more weeks of chaos. I’ve been living in our constant renovation for the last 15 years, since we’re doing it all ourselves. There is so much joy every time a room is gutted and built anew. Embrace the thrill of all the changes!
I ALWAYS enjoy a visit at your sweet mom’s home!!! I’m so excited for your parents and this awesome renovation! 🏡 Thanks Susan, for opening up your home once again! Can’t wait to see the final results!!! 🏡♥️🏡
Your Mom is such a kind person and so sweet to let you share with us. She will be so happy with the final result, I’m sure. Oh and the light! The more natural light the better. So happy for her.
I feel so foolish admitting how much I love following your videos but flat-out love them. Laura, I enjoy how fast and factual you present. I visit your site to learn and then apply what I learned. Your mother is so more soft-spoken than you, slow speaking explaining things in such detail but I deeply enjoy her ways also. Two highly successful self-made women, what an inspiration. Fan in Bozeman,MT
You’ll find as the kids grow up you won’t need a huge TV. With the technology everyone’s looking at their own programs. I don’t own a TV in my home and we don’t miss it at all. It’s so quiet and people actually converse rather looking at their portable electronic devices.
@@Eric.Mercado Thanks I am aware of the frame TV. It all comes down to the overall style and use of the room. I just can’t wait to see the outcome to her beautiful space. Susan has great style and taste!
Oh my word!!! This build is not just a small addition where the dining room was!! This is a HIGE rebuild / addition!!! Wow, this is going to be FABULOUS!!
Laura your the Best!! Just love all the love!! Giving your Mom guff over the 5 ft. Across!!😂😂😂😂 Then to 4ft. Love it!! Such harmony!! More!! More!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I wish we were neighbors! You and your Mom are so cute! The friendship you share is so nice. I always told my kids Keep everything in perspective. 5 years from now you will forget all the headaches of the renovation and enjoy your time with family in the beautiful new space.. Thanks for sharing God bless!
I was smiling through the entire tour!!!! I’m SO HAPPY for your Mom and I know your Dad will enjoy it all when it’s done!!!! THANK YOU BOTH for taking us on this tour it is SO EXCITING!!!!😊
So happy to be allowed in to the unfinished house addition! The happiness is evident! Raising the ceiling is a biggie. Everything will feel so spatially blown out. Thank you for the treat!.
Susan, your home is so beautiful and your gardens are magical! I can't wait to see what you do with the new spaces! You deserve it! What a lovely lady!
Those windows and sliding doors are absolutely stunning! I have a much smaller sunroom that is part of my house and also with screening. In this matter I can enjoy it through all the four seasons . If I had more land I would have definitely made the room like a conservatory with plants and a water feature ! I can’t add a pergola since the raccoons would be having a field day . Congratulations Susan !
Really enjoyed seeing your project. I did the same thing about 13 years ago. Have loved it. Our family of 14 has thoroughly enjoyed the added space. Yours will too. Thanks for being so giving with your time and your personal space.
Stunning.! We remodeled our home many years ago. We changed old sliding glass doors to "walls" of glass. Ten floor to ceiling paned windows, some of which are sliders. Our garden is in our house ... so to speak. Your Mom will love it. The ONLY thing I'm not too happy about is when those window walls need washing. That's a task and a halp! Luckily our wooden muntins (?) come out for cleaning. :). The renovation process was long ... but the end result was fantastic!
I love videos with your mom! I was given up by my parents and raised by my grandparents and always wanted a “mom”… now I have 3 teenagers and I hope to be the mother that I wanted to have ❤ I hope we have the relationship that you all share!
New Gardner in Ohio: Love the look of the renovation. It will so nice to have the whole family and Grandkids coming together. These memories will be cherished.
It's awesome that Susan allows us to see the process instead of the finished project. When a project is over it's hard to recall what was. So beautiful!💕
Laura, I loved seeing the renovation project at Mom and Dad's home. Susan, you are a pure delight, and it was extremely gracious of you to let us all see what's been going on at your home. It will be so nice and gorgeous when it's all buttoned up, but I know how hard it is to live in the chaos while construction is going on. Thank you sooo much! I hope your windows arrive and are installed this week. Blessing to all of you. ~Margie🤗💕
Thank-you, Laura's Mom, for sharing with us your "construction journey" in making your home accomadate your beautiful, growing family! It is a GORGEOUS plan!! So happy for you!!!! Can't wait to see more updates on---"Garden & Home Answer"!!❤❤❤
Wow...your mom's house is going to be amazing. We too are in the middle of a remodel but for a much different reason. We had a huge oak tree come down on our house during a March storm. We have had to relocate while repairs are being made. We are hitting the home stretch. In fact our cabinets are being installed in the kitchen today. It was a much needed remodel and it will be amazing. No one was hurt, praise God and the rest can be fixed. Can't wait to see their house completed.
I love this. So excited for your parents and everyone fitting at the table for family dinner. I really hope she uses invisible screens so that the natural glass is unobstructed when she’s not suing the doors.
It's hard to open your house when it's a complete mess! Thanks Susan for showing up your house in the middle of the renovation, it's extremely nerve racking to live in it but it's going to be gorgeous and you don't have to do anything yourself ❤ Blessings 🤗🙏❤️
It’s going to be gorgeous! Only thing I’d change is square off that deck by the main entrance where that tree was. I’d hate for someone to get tipsy and walk off the deck lol. 🍷Cheers!
I’m so happy for Susan, it will be stunning when it’s done. Good for her that she’s still smiling. I though it was a dinning room addition, but wow, it’s so much more.
Thanks for sharing your project with us, Susan! I love it, and I love your humbleness. You romance the ordinary, but enjoy the simple things like the sound of gravel under your boots. So sweet.
Your mom is such a fun person with such a positive personality. And now, a great inspiration for renovation as well! We are looking into renovating our kitchen and living area next year and will follow this progress closely for inspiration 💚
Renos are always painful in the midst of it but I can feel the excitement of when the new space welcomes in the family. I have a feeling they’ll be some tears of joy by then. Thanks as always for showing us. All those windows will be glorious 😊❤
Susan, thanks for letting us get a peek at the Reno. It’s going to be absolutely beautiful! A wonderful place to begin collecting lots of new memories. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Wow! The extension is going to be beautiful! Everyone was just speaking about a new dining room. There is much more than that. When it snows, they may have to come to live with you, Laura. I know they want to keep a close eye on everything, but that weather in Oregon can be dicey. Your Mom is so great and full of love and fun. You are so blessed to have her. xoxo Cathy
I was so excited when I saw the title to the video today! Wow it's going to be so roomy! Looking forward to seeing it all finished and decorated! Thank you for letting us see the new additions Susan!
This is so exciting to watch. Myself & my husband are just starting a renovation on our 400 year old cottage, so feel Susan’s pain! Living in one room sure ain’t easy. It’s all going to be so worth it though. Thanks for sharing this update to both of you x
that's a great carpenter to point out those types of things to give you an option before it's to late to make the decision. what a fun & wonderful season of life for the family. thank you for sharing with us.
How exciting for your entire family!! A new area to gather together and celebrate special occasions! Your Mom is such a joy! Living through a renovation is NO FUN!! I've done it before and it takes a lot out of you, but the end result is well worth it in the end. There are so many new possibilities your Mom will have for filling up that space to make it a comfortable place for family gatherings. I can't wait to see more of the transformation. Thanks for sharing this special video. It seems appropriate at this time of Thanksgiving.
Mom doing this for her family. She wants room for special dinners. I so understand that. Thank you Susan for the tour. It's going to be beautiful.
Thank you Susan for allowing us in. It is going to be magnificent. You’ve done a fabulous job of designing your new addition.
Your mom is such a treasure. Thank you for sharing her with us all.💜

Your Mom is delightful, so happy and fun. I think your daughter looks a lot like your Mom and even shows signs of your Mom’s personality.
We all agree Laura’s mom Susan is the sweetest woman ❤️❤️❤️ she’s so funny and happy 😊
So happy for your Mom! It's like she will be living inside her own custom made Hartley. Thank your Mom for allowing this update. It's going to be glorious. She deserves it!!
You are so right!

Ah, how nice for your mom to finally have space for her family! And, I finally understand the lay of the land. Seeing the garden shed and new garden boxes from the new addition is beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product!
When you hang your TV you should put it on a Full Motion TV Mount. I'm glad I did for family get togethers 😁

Your mom needs a Frame TV for the family room. When it’s off, it looks like a piece of art.
I was thinking the same thing! Samsung makes a really nice one!
You’ll find as the kids grow up you won’t need a huge TV. With the technology everyone’s looking at their own programs. I don’t own a TV in my home and we don’t miss it at all. It’s so quiet and people actually converse rather looking at their portable electronic devices.
10:14 Susan said it was going to be a framed TV, so apparently she agrees with ya'll. 😊

Congratulations Susan !
Talk about Romancing the Ordinary! I see the vision & it's absolutely spectacular!
You and your mom are so sweet! And she’s still laughing and in good spirits during a remodel project.
Really enjoyed seeing your project. I did the same thing about 13 years ago. Have loved it. Our family of 14 has thoroughly enjoyed the added space. Yours will too. Thanks for being so giving with your time and your personal space.
Laura and Susan, I kept thinking where is the bar!! But you all didn’t disappoint, the cocktail corner🍸🥂🍾. Everyone should have a cocktail corner!
Stunning.! We remodeled our home many years ago. We changed old sliding glass doors to "walls" of glass. Ten floor to ceiling paned windows, some of which are sliders.

So happy for you mom and you Laura and Monica can help Benjamin too. He's just like you. What fun😊
I love your Mom’s smile even when her home is turned upside down…she keeps smiling! 🩷

It's hard to open your house when it's a complete mess! Thanks Susan for showing up your house in the middle of the renovation, it's extremely nerve racking to live in it but it's going to be gorgeous and you don't have to do anything yourself ❤ Blessings 🤗🙏❤️
Your mother is so sweet and lovely. How lucky you all are to have each other close by. 🥰
It’s going to be gorgeous! Only thing I’d change is square off that deck by the main entrance where that tree was. I’d hate for someone to get tipsy and walk off the deck lol. 🍷Cheers!
I’m so happy for Susan, it will be stunning when it’s done. Good for her that she’s still smiling. I though it was a dinning room addition, but wow, it’s so much more.
So excited for your parents! And all the fun and memories you will make together in the new space!❤
Thanks for sharing your project with us, Susan! I love it, and I love your humbleness. You romance the ordinary, but enjoy the simple things like the sound of gravel under your boots. So sweet.
Your mom is such a fun person with such a positive personality. And now, a great inspiration for renovation as well! We are looking into renovating our kitchen and living area next year and will follow this progress closely for inspiration 💚
Wow, all those windows ,so much light ❤❤❤
Thank you Susan for letting us see what’s going on at your home💕
Renos are always painful in the midst of it but I can feel the excitement of when the new space welcomes in the family.
I have a feeling they’ll be some tears of joy by then.
Thanks as always for showing us.
All those windows will be glorious 😊❤
Susan, thanks for letting us get a peek at the Reno. It’s going to be absolutely beautiful! A wonderful place to begin collecting lots of new memories. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Wow! The extension is going to be beautiful! Everyone was just speaking about a new dining room. There is much more than that. When it snows, they may have to come to live with you, Laura. I know they want to keep a close eye on everything, but that weather in Oregon can be dicey. Your Mom is so great and full of love and fun. You are so blessed to have her. xoxo Cathy
Thanks, mom, for sharing this with us! It will be so beautiful.
I was so excited when I saw the title to the video today! Wow it's going to be so roomy! Looking forward to seeing it all finished and decorated!
Thank you for letting us see the new additions Susan!
This is so exciting to watch. Myself & my husband are just starting a renovation on our 400 year old cottage, so feel Susan’s pain! Living in one room sure ain’t easy. It’s all going to be so worth it though. Thanks for sharing this update to both of you x
Good Morning Susan, your home is going to turn out so beautiful!! I'm so happy for you guys!! Thank you for sharing. 👏👏🌹
My dream is to live in a garden.....I'm so envious. Can't wait to see this completed. ❤
that's a great carpenter to point out those types of things to give you an option before it's to late to make the decision. what a fun & wonderful season of life for the family. thank you for sharing with us.
How exciting for your entire family!! A new area to gather together and celebrate special occasions! Your Mom is such a joy! Living through a renovation is NO FUN!! I've done it before and it takes a lot out of you, but the end result is well worth it in the end. There are so many new possibilities your Mom will have for filling up that space to make it a comfortable place for family gatherings. I can't wait to see more of the transformation. Thanks for sharing this special video. It seems appropriate at this time of Thanksgiving.
Your mom is so sweet. She is so excited I can tell.
