There’s literally nothing I love more than watching people make their house a home. You are so freaking cute in your red boots and those lights you put up are perfect

There is so much love in these clips. Just two people, making a home together and being in each other's presence.

[@daceyanne3633]

i love watching your wholesome home building videos. makes me feel like i’m spending time with family in our happy place

At first i thought, "wow they really chose to take the hardest possible way of doing this"....but then i thought, "every stone is laid with such care, and the mulch is being spread so carefully, and it really shows how much love and care theyre putting into this"...and it really came through in the end ❤ it's actuallt nice to see this when there are so many videos out there now sped up and jammed into a couple minutes

[@DinkyPurpleDino]

I’ve been watching Meghan since before Olivia and honestly this feels so wholesome like I’m FaceTiming an old friend and I’m here for it 😍

[@MeghanRienks]

i love this :)

[@zp5016]

You and Mats making your house a home always gets me so emotional 😅 Love seeing you both so happy 💗

[@evilbluemandm]

Backyard turned out so peaceful. Love it. Helpful tip! You can actually put the mulch about an inch from the plants and it will help retain the moisture of the soil for your plants.

[@dollface106]

The yard came out so nice, what an accomplishment

[@MeghanRienks]

thank you!!

[@sweetness371]

I love how whimsical this is! Putting the rocks around the edging was a great choice. So cool that you had a treasure trove of rocks to work with. Also, congrats on the new sponsor 😘

[@hayleecain9350]

There’s so many videos that make projects like this look super easy and like they can be completed really quickly when in reality there’s so much work that goes into it.. When I do my own home projects, I find myself feeling like I haven’t gotten very far even after spending a full day working on something. So I’m really happy to see a realistic backyard makeover that reminds me that I’m not the only one who sometimes takes one step forward only to take two steps back!

[@DAYDREAMbyJanella]

idk why this video made me so emotional Meghan. You were the first youtuber I ever watched and that was literally a million years ago, because we were in highschool then. You have always had such a talent for this and I know life has had its ups and downs but this made me so happy because you looked so happy and it feels like I just got to catch up with an old friend. Love from Austria

[@siobhanlewis4511]

As someone who is moving into their DREAM first home in the next few weeks - this video has made me so incredibly excited!! Your garden looks so beautiful! Well done ❤️

[@lizraap14]

MEGHAN! This is genuinely so beautiful and whimsical 🧚‍♀️ I'm so proud of you!!

[@fegrace_1]

You both did a great job. The edging really defined the areas in a professional way. Also the path way and the rocks remind me of a botanical garden. I think some ground solar lights will really finish the area off nicely!

[@autumnlokeman1945]

this is so beautiful and possibly my new favorite video you’ve ever posted. idk the music and editing makes me feel something ❤

[@ekipitram]

I just went through all the people I followed on KZbin and removed a lot of people. I love how you have evolved and changed. I have followed you since 2010 to now.

[@VeronicaMiller-t1c]

This is the kind of content that keeps me on KZbin.

[@stephaniealaia769]

I loved watching you 2 tackling your garden! It’s so pretty how it turned out! And I always find gardening such a fun and relaxing and therapeutic hobby to do 😊 the solar system lights are a nice finishing touch too! Hope you guys have a great week! 💜

[@tiffanyjohnson4134]

this is so sweet and wholesome ✋🏻😩 and the lights!!! Meghan, everything you touch turns out beautiful!!!

[@tess6536]

California poppy's are some of my favourite flowers, where I live (Sweden) they're not winter hardy but they selfsow like mad and it's so cute that the flowers close when they aren't getting enough sunlight. Like in cloudy weather and during nighttime.

[@jasminelambert3753]

Megan this is absolutely gorgeous! Like truly so stunningly beautiful I don’t even know how else to describe it. You and Mats put so so much work into this project and it SHOWS! You had such a strong vision and it really did come together so beautifully!!! I LOVE all of the little vignettes and specially little cozy spots!

[@ClaraL27]

[@enigmanonymous3702]

Struggling with even my tiny yard and rental house as a Potsy girl with adhd. My brain wants constant stimulation and action and my body wants to lay down lol. How did you work through choice paralysis when picking plants out?
