I love that she corrected her dad "when I bought the house." Can't be easy all of the time to operate under the shadow of her parents, so her assertion of herself in that moment made me proud of her and I don't even know her:).

[@marleneartigues]

Love Ruth and her family! What a blessing to be able to help out your children as they start their journey.

[@darrisnelson5223]

I’m SO careful about not overstepping in my son’s home… this made me squirm a bit for the son-in-law but I’m sure they’ve work out boundaries. I’ve remodeled and built from the ground up so I appreciate the work put into this home. I love that they’ve chosen to retain original materials where they can. ❤

[@ms.aineec.beland9684]

Amen; you've raised lovely children and as they take the torch may they go farthest as you've done with five children in tow. Stay blessed and thank you for sharing.

[@Teena-yi9xw]

That prayer at thr end,just touched my heart. Beautiful homes and beautiful family. May the Father turn his face towards them and give them peace.

[@lizgrazioli-talbot9163]

The blessing at the dinner table by Chris shows how serious he takes being the spiritual leader in the family. I'm impressed and the mother in law and father in law know their daugher will have a blessed marriage. Im sure they are joyful about this strength Chris brings to the marriage.

[@joycemartin1034]

I absolutely love Ruth’s videos! She’s so natural in front of the camera! So thankful she is sharing her wisdom and life experiences for others to learn and appreciate!

[@Jfanucci04]

Alex said from the get go that she can get down and dirty doing the hard work but she doesn’t have an eye for design like Ruth does. That’s why she welcomes her mom’s expertise in this area. My daughter and I will be very similar when she has her own place. She and her boyfriend have already asked me to help them decorate in their future home someday. Not everyone is blessed with the same talents so why not help out your child in that way? It’s so silly to hate on her for this. Alex and Chris aren’t incapable. This was lovely and all in good fun. They have a wonderful family. Nerves probably played a big role in any of the comments that were possibly a little off. I loved the video and am thankful to Homeworthy for continuing to share Ruth and her amazing talents and lovely family. ❤️

[@lynnthow1650]

Oh, Homeworthy…thank you so much for continuing to feature Ruth and her beautiful home and family! What a truly special episode featuring the love and hard work that went into creating this beautiful home for the newly married couple. I enjoyed it so much!💛

[@jeffreywest9474]

Love the charm of the house and the rugs in the kitchen look great. Maybe you could add a chic curtain in the powder room to hide the toliet from view of the dining area. Victoria🌹

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. How lucky to have parents that are willing and able to help.

[@macampbell5257]

I truly understand how things can become overwhelming to someone who never did any kind of renovation. But he is such a good sport to stick it out and to have the courage to stick it out. They all did a wonderful job at renovating this gorgeous house. Congratulations to Chris and Alex.

[@corrineestrada296]

He’s very patient for intrusive in-laws

[@a.p.8330]

Very true! It seem like he was paying for the house, but his young wife keeps saying "my house", "my bedroom",...

[@e.t.1088]

@@a.p.8330HER parents bought it for them thats why the mom decorated it to her liking and puts son in law in the corner.

[@lisabarefoot7801]

It’s only the beginning- lol

[@RosieJ7223]

He is FINE. A son in law doesn’t have the same plight as a daughter in law. He can assert himself whenever he needs to and no damage will be done. Everyone keeps talking about how “we don’t have a village anymore!So the village shows up and all the comments are about boundaries. If you’re going to live with people you have to be WITH PEOPLE. Take the cookies and be grateful your folks are still alive.

[@gwencrosswhite9329]

So happy for this sweet couple to have a wonderful home to start their life together…do feel a little bad for Chris though. He took a lot of hits (albeit lovingly) in this video.

[@grisespino5342]

I’m making those cookies 🍪!! It’s admirable that their daughter had the vision to buy a home. That her fiancé/husband was on board and happy to learn and this project was done with her Dad, priceless.

[@sojourner8567]

The more Homeworthy features Ruth and her family the more I really grow to like them. What a blessing to have parents that that consider their children’s needs and don’t hesitate to step in and help them flourish.

[@sharonwatson3320]

I ABSOLUTELY love all of Ruth’s videos! And how fabulous to see what a young couple has done with a lot of hard work! Loved this!

[@SeyoDeline]

I always enjoy Ruth's videos.

[@sharonc1326]

I will watch any video featuring Ruth and her family. Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@deborahjones3956]

Wow, Amen!! I love how you included their meal blessing! This is one of my favorite videos you have produced. Genuine, real people doing the hard work and yet, keeping it simple. MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!

[@johnwilliamtuckey2796]

Ruth is sensational she is my new Martha Stewart; never cared for Martha; but adore Ruth! ❤ Just one thing that I would change and in easy to do is that the refrigerator door could be changed to open on the other side.

[@sanlen1944]

I think the house turned out so pretty , and your dad and husband helping out made for great memories , and to have your mom help you decorate it is also very special . And I love the brick your grandfather gifted yall for your flooring . Yall are very blessed .

[@gigss3439]

I love your daughter’s passion for her home, she is delightful! What a great project for father and daughter. Ruth, I love your book and your Homeworthy series. Keep them coming!

[@hdf5530]

very sweet, but i would have been annoyed if my mom got me a big ass art without my alignment and insisted I hung up in the damn living room. wow. hahah bless the daughter

[@Cindydecor]

The daughter probably picked it out lol and the surprise was just scripted in for the video-it’s tv and not live tv

[@bonniehall24]

That's the beauty of a loving Mother & Daughter they each know the others' obsessions!

[@jessicabranham2945]

Id be annoyed by a lot about her lol😅😂 she’s got a way that just makes it sound like she takes over situations and it’s off putting

[@sarahcole7338]

I say her mom and dad literally have skills that few few few have and she’s probably incredibly thankful and knows how lucky she is…she ain’t worried about a piece of art 😂🤣😂

[@OwnedByPedro-yv7oc]

Agreed - that is just so inappropriate!! Hoping the whole thing was scripted and she wouldn't "really" do that - plus go in and tell her daughter where to put her things, etc. WOW...tacky and wrong!!

[@carolynratliff1380]

Oh Ruth…I just LOVE you and your precious family….you have so much energy and love to give and you do it all LEFT HANDED…..you are so awesome with the sweetest calmest voice….hugs carolyn from Columbus Georgia….why don’t you have your own tv show??????

[@kathyf7862]

What a blessing to watch the family connections you've shown us. Great example of passing on the legacy. 🙏💞 Embracing each person's strengths, working together in harmony, and learning new skills along the way makes life so much more fulfilling. Thank you for sharing!

[@santinabrothers]

I absolutely loved this episode. The love shown between them was awesome! I truly enjoyed the cooking and gardening at the beginning.

[@BESTLARealEstate]

This was a lovely episode. Congratulations to the newlyweds and their loving parents and grandfather.

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Love this so much! What a blessing to have wonderful, supportive family.

[@sherryhudson9075]

Y’all are the sweetest family ever! How I appreciate your love and faith and desire to help each other make dreams come true Saying the blessing at dinner was the highlight ❤

[@donnagilman3451]

Omgoodness! Absolutely love all the goodness you are sharing! Thank you! 💞🏡💞

[@VictorianRoseSoapCo]

What a beautiful gift to spend the time helping and being able to bless your Children's lives !!! I love this video 💝💝💝

[@julianavillanueva7385]

Loved how a young bride and her husband move through the growing process. What wonderful support! No pressure 🤫

[@marycollins848]

Insane wealth.

[@montyduskin4610]

BEAUTIFUL !! AMAZING !! 😊

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Watching this family makes me yearn for being close and sharing the lives of my loved ones. They all live a plane ride away, so I am here in my home of 52 years . Treasure every moment. as I can see you all do. And being 5 minutes away form Hillside Farm is a true blessing.

[@corlisslopes7386]

Love watching your videos Ruth Your family is beautiful. I get excited when I see a new video ❤

[@111angelic]

College students purchasing houses and going on not one but two honeymoons… Let them eat half-baked cookies I guess. (Also lol at the Dad’s Freudian slip, ‘when we bought the house…’)

[@ruralangwin]

Kinda cringy.

[@jennyharmony1371]

Very cringy!

[@juliewong8171]

Aren't Alex and her hubby so blessed to have parents that can support them and help them start their married life together? Wishing them all the best!

[@RosieJ7223]

Love Ruth and her sweet fam.

[@julielapointe8184]

I really enjoyed watching this video. The daughters home turned out very nice!

[@dianeadams9537]

THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@user-ik1bk3go1e]

Congratulations Newly weds! Lovely home and family. Great job!☺💐

[@deborahpapp7870]

I Love the relationship the parents have with the daughter and the son- in -law. The daughter trusting her mothers expertise In decorating and even where to place the art. My relationship with my daughter is the opposite. I told her if i build a home i will just turn her loose and she can totally decorate my home. She is that good and of coarse i will add my own touches but i trust her choices because she knows (my) style . Love the videos! Keep them coming!

[@annshr9917]

You’re a natural presenter. You should have your own show.

[@ramona7160]

What an exciting and fun time watching this video with you. Ruth, you are so like my daughter-in-law and I love how you bring us in to your lives. More than a few WOWS. Can’t wait for more. ❤️

[@alisonj.4741]

So kind to her son-in-law! I live about 40 minutes from Ruth (near Lancaster!). I wish I could be her neighbor! Hoping to go to her barn sale at Christmas!

[@cynthiaabsher9069]

The best way to describe this episode is, it was an absolute pleasure. I enjoyed all of it.

[@debbiewood3819]

What a beautiful story...a beautiful home and family...thank you for honoring our Great God in praying together, praising Him for His goodness to us...

[@janelynch2180]

I Love everything. But, please the flip the refrigerator door. 😊

[@ethelforbes6571]

I love the painting of Jackson Hole from the Plimpton's. Beautiful and original.

[@lorihelm7419]

What a beautiful episode. Love seeing the transformation. It’s so refreshing to see such a closeknity family.

[@txione2324]

It's hard to stop mothering, when you have adult children, but a little boundaries go a long way.

[@jessicabranham2945]

This woman has zero bounds lol “We snuck in and got measurements for this Picture the size of your entire house and here I want you to hang it where it’s the first thing people see when they come in” 😆

[@harrietjames9191]

Love Ruth and her wonderful life. So glad she shares it with us. ❤️

[@reginaweaver9609]

I love this episode!!! You must be so very proud of your daughter and son-in-law. When they smile their faces light up.

[@sandylmcallister]

I loved this video. Congrats on making such a beautiful home and to have the help of your dad and hubs. Really special. I loved hearing your husband and daughter talking to us. Love all your videos, keep it up.

[@stealth48nurse]

I have always enjoyed watching Ruth's videos of home cooked meals, family and friends gatherings. Now to experience this wonderful new chapter of their daughter and her husband's home renovation and transformation. What a loving family. I will be looking forward to watching more videos of Ruth and her family.

[@livinginjapan1213]

Looove this Episode! Ruth and her husband are just incredible. Love the ending in prayer. Love from japan🇯🇵

[@carolsloss8440]

I love Ruth's enthusiasm with her daughter's home. Some say it's intrusive but I think she and her daughter have that special kind of relationship. I could be like Ruth with one of my daughters but not like that with my other daughter. But let me tell you its great when you can.

[@kylaodonnell5016]

What wonderful parents! Love how your daughter and son in law have worked so hard and now have a beautiful home. What vision! Love the kitchen ❤ great job, thanks for sharing

[@beverlymcmackin2908]

I love these videos… and what a transformation in the house. Thank you for sharing and for being real about your faith. Loved seeing the family pray together. I’m looking forward to another Ruth McKeaney video they are one of my favourites. God bless you and your family Ruth as I’m sure He already has.

What a lovely family ❤ it is so nice how Ruth’s family helped their daughter & her husband in their new home.

[@CB-jz2dn]

🌹🌳🏡🌳🌹 This spirited family- journey, reminds me of the proverbs that teaches us to think on the good things life has to offer; remain in gratitude & always remember that in life - Family is the most important treasure we've been given. You have guarded your family well. Applause. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

[@celinaderose]
