I think their parents deserve some kind of award. The way these 2 brothers interact, such a beautiful relationship. The outdoor renovation was breathtaking!

[@AlixZin]

Watching the family interact, it's clear to see why NPH ended up being a child star who didn't self-destruct. They are all lovely.

"I mean he is my big brother..I wanna make sure things go well for him..." ❤ now I can't stop crying

[@wwbdwwbd]

Neil is right: his big brother is very cool.

[@lillypatience]

My favorite part of this episode is watching Neil's face light up watching his brother's face light up as he takes in the beautiful renovation. You can see instantly the love Neil has for his big brother.

[@yuliafirzon3794]

What’s up with people who disliked this video? The relationship in this family is amazing and warm and the renovations are excellent. I enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@sjg1520]

Wow, just wow. I don't know which was more heartwarming, Brian's reaction receiving or Neil's in giving....

[@shanice6872]

I love that dad came in wearing his company shirt! Free advertising 👌💓

[@stephaniedonato6414]

The brothers excitement about the bees is everything.

[@Learning_Boosters123]

I love the transformation. But that love between the brothers and among the members of the family is amazing!

[@sule_lol8960]

"he's my big brother, I wanna make sure things go well for him" that put me in tears :)

[@spideydew20]

The look on Brian's face when he saw the backyard was absolutely priceless. Great job Neil, Ron, Lisa and Solange!

[@juliavogt2265]

Beautiful to see how happy Brian is! Neil is so grounded can‘t believe it, two brothers greatful for each other and what they have😊

[@sandrafarquharson9724]

This was one of my most favorite Houzz episodes ever (next to the Kyrie Irving one). Tears came to my eyes because I could feel their brotherly love come thru my screen. He comes from a great and loving family. Not only is he an awesome actor but an all around really nice guy and brother. The brother was not only genuinely surprised but looked really appreciative. Both spaces came out great!

[@deirdreball3731]

You know Neil was raised right! What a lovely family ❤️

[@Yuuram11]

it was cute how NPH was like a giddy little boy showing his big brother around the place, and gtg all happy when big bro gv his stamp of approval...

[@izmckenna]

How did the Harris's literally hit the child jackpot?! 2 incredibably successful sons! What a lovely family!

[@jeremyadlermusic]

"What have you done with my old room and don't ever bring it back!' I'm DYING 😂😂😂

[@auntda]

Neil’s brother seems so incredibly sweet. One of my favorite episodes. What a sweet family!

[@TheNetymags]

Best gift ever is to be able to take care of your loved ones.

[@tracydoverspike5255]

I hope that my two sons are like this with each other when they're older. They really love each other and clearly are close and respect one another. Thank you for saving bees.

[@sayyedsayyed1871]

Neil is so grounded.. my heart melts to see him do this for his brother- just shocked to see him without a SUIT 😬

[@BratBustersParenting]

What an amazingly loving relationship these 2 brothers have ... heartwarming.

[@shelbytomy07]

That is the sweetest brother's relationship I had ever seen

[@lynnfendlason4277]

The look of glee on NPH's face when his brother steps into the backyard space is priceless! What a great guy, and what a sweet family he has.

[@biglisaw2643]

The Harris family is the most unassuming, supportive and loving family! Rare and refreshing! The transformation turned out beautiful! I’m looking around my house going “ehhhh!”

[@hirokai525]

I have said this before and i'll continue to say it.. I will watch anything and everything Neil Patrick Harris is in!

[@Moona1966]

Neil's giggle when his brother sees the outside just melted my heart. You can totally tell that they love one another, and it made them both VERY happy! And I want everything in that den and back yard! LOL

[@briggyb]

Why do these shows always make me cry?

[@travelwithnomadness]

Me too!

[@quadbox]

What a genuinely lovely and supportive relationship Brian and Neil have! I really thought this design was so fitting for Brian - he seemed so happy. Both the outdoor and indoor designs were great.

[@anuragsingh-ed4gk]

This house transformation was legen”wait for it”dary 😁😁

[@mjoverocker6072]

This is so wonderful, his brother is so thankful and Neil was honored to do it.

[@WilliamFloyd1812]

You can tell how great a job Neil's parents did raising their sons. They are both talented, and good hearted gentlemen. Both brothers are lucky to have each other.

[@nagriswold1326]

The design is amazing. The backyard is just WOW!! But what made this episode is the clear love of family.

[@lynnpaulo4594]

Lady: would you like to buy that? Neil's dad: Heck Yeah!!!! 😂😁😁 seems like a cool dad.

[@Sir6ALotB]

I mean he is my big brother..I want things to go well for him 😭💖😭

[@winterlighthome]

Even as an adult, do you ever see a family and think, "I wish they'd adopt me."? Because, what a lovely, safe, warm, affectionate, genuine family.

[@carolspingarn4456]

This was THE BEST Houzz surprise ever! Neil Patrick Harris has always been a winner in my book. This took the winner category to ultimate champion! The love this family shares is beautiful. Way to go Neil!

[@verenameier2776]

That is so incredible and so sweet to do. Neil is a phenomenal little brother :-)

[@bella4644]

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Brian was a great big brother to Neil. He deserves that love given back in the form of a lovely, restful haven of a home. Love houzzTV.

[@karenhardie1132]

Neil seems like a good guy. Well done family. You are what a family should be.

[@jazmin3496]

love his reaction and love Neil's happiness in relation to his brother's happy reactions... seems like such an amazingly down to earth fam...

[@maibritton2882]

I work with kids; I tell them be good to your brother/sister! This is a prime example. Love this segments. Genuine people

[@theresacasareale8009]

Neil you have your dads wonderful smile! You’re such a wonderful Son , Brother , husband , Dad & entertainer !!

[@kathryncomstock619]

Wow! I had tears in my eyes at the end of this video. What a loving family, comfortable with each other and caring about one another. The designers did a wonderful job, nice going Houzz.

[@zaynabkarima7000]

That was just "legendary", well done. You made me cried Neil. Love from france

[@SixBlindKids]

Doogie Houzz...er! Lovely family. Lovely new space! 😄❤

[@Macgyrl64]

As if we needed any further reason to love Neil. This was amazing, such a good souls in both Neil and Brian.

[@tsinav8]

Awww.... I love the transformation of the house but more so than that, I saw the love between siblings and family. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Trilingualeks]

I love how his dad's face lit up when the designer said let's call Neil and see what he thinks 😁 he just beamed when Neil came on the monitor 😍❤️ so sweet

[@Erica_Love_Love]

I love their bond. Houzz did an amazing job. I've been following them for a few years.

[@markusmulder_]

It’s so nice to see that brothers with that relationship exist 💖. I wish I can do this for my Mother one day. Give her a house ☹️.

[@marnimatikka7833]

I love watching Houzz episodes. But Neil and his brother made me cry. Reminded me of me and my brother. ox

[@michelleamato5370]

This touched me in an emotional way. For someone to create a space for his brother and seeing how well Patrick knew his brother so well. It’s just beautiful. The love. Heartwarming

[@jennifersanger150]

I love the look on NPH face as he watches his brother 💚

[@SitatheNightGoddess]

This just makes me love Neil and his whole family even more than I thought possible! They are such sweet people!!!

[@desireegarcia1608]

It’s beautiful to see amazing people like (Neil) to be able to give back to their family! this was awesome 🥰🥰🥰

[@marynunez2291]

Neil, that was a beautiful thing to do for your brother! Oh, that we could all be so well loved.

[@ThatTallDudeJoel]

I love this episode because most of the houses that I've seen don't have any backyard renovations. This is the first time that I'm seeing an episode with a backyard renovation and it's just awesome. Also. NPH IS DA BEST!!!

[@margaretlee-reed814]

What a wonderful ... FAMILY. Thanks for sharing this story with the rest of us.

[@frodoughbaggins5592]

Absolutely precious. If I were their mother, I would be so proud of both of them.

[@davidh9844]

Very, very nice family story. NPH has just gone up 10 points in my esteem.

[@jeffreyerdmann1017]

So beautiful and uplifting Neil to do all of the many changes to Brain's backyard and inside. Your love of your family is just so fantastic. You are so talented in so many ways. A good and loving father and husband as well. Brovo !💖💛💙💜💚

[@SABOREAME68]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Needless to say, I always envisioned that Neil Patrick Harris was a wonderful person & this act towards his brother solidifies what a magnificent human being he is. May Brian fully enjoy the amazing gift for many years to come.... Abrazos

[@jennifer801]

I love how much they both love each other. This is such a sweet family.

[@2PandaMama]

Oh man I don’t know why I needed this. I was feeling really erratically terrible and when Neil said “Now you can be ready for your next chapter in life, whatever it may be” my chest sunk and I just couldn’t stop my tears from streaming down. This was very sweet. I love who Neil is as a person. He’s such a hidden light for others all around the world.

[@yootoob2193]

I've never seen anything with his brother and folks before. How nice that his girlfriend and her daughters seem so cool, too. A friend just bought a typical 80s suburban tri-level and it has almost 1/2 acre of yard. A bee haven is an amazing idea!

[@marymarks7046]

This is an amazing project. It's so real and down to earth. I love the den it is very neutral and with the pop of blue makes it beautiful. The outdoor area rocks. What a great fam. There is alot of love here.

[@emilyl.1458]

I absolutely LOVED this. You can just see the love and admiration Neil and Brian have for each other. Brought a few lil’ tears to my eyes. Oh, and the design is GORGEOUS as well! Great job!

[@princess47ea]

This was such an awesome episode!! His dad looked so happy taking out that wall!! And then to see his brothers expression seeing everything was very authentic. Loved Neil before this, love him even more now!!

[@vickibauerle2990]

What a wonderful gift, and an awesome family!! This so made me smile, it is a beautiful makeover. Love you Neil Patrick Harris!

[@Nicole-wm4qe]

The brotherly love is so touching and the spaces were fantastic. My brother and I had such love. Sadly he has since passed away and far too young. I love seeing sibling relationships celebrated and appreciated like this. It's profoundly sweet and much too rare.

[@frankdawgg]

Neil Patrick is just the bees knees man. So cool, what an amazing dude.

[@dlcowh2]

I just love this series houzz! Great job!!

[@raviolivixxen4865]

I love how geniunely close the two brothers are.

[@Em-mp4hf]

Dad and brother have the exact same voice! They did an amazing job congrats!

[@jessdac02]

“It might just blow his mind hole” Love the HIMYM reference! 💕
