What a privilege it is for us to be welcomed into your private space. It was beautiful before and honestly it’s breathtaking now. Who knew!? Susan, you are the hostess with the mostest. I’m so glad the family is part of the Garden Answer family and are so gracious to be in the videos. Thank you!❤

Thank you Susan for letting us enjoy the remodel of your beautiful home. It is very generous of you to open your home up to total strangers. It was a long process, but the smile on your face says it was all worth it. Now your home, gardens and view are all spectacular. Congratulations to you and your husband!

Who else just loves Laura's mom?!! Great renovation, and the house is so special, gardens amazing, and just getting better every year. Thanks Susan for letting us see the transformation!

When you thanked your husband saying “we never coulda done it w/o you” & he clapped back “you would’ve managed” with so much pride & confidence in his little powerhouse of a wife - I clutched my heart!❤

Oh my goodness!!♡ The beauty of your home! Thank you for allowing us to walk along with you (so to speak) on this remodel journey. ♡ It is so generous of you to share your private home with us... the Garden Answer "extended family."♡ I can't wait to see all the new plantings you decide on!♡

No one deserves this more than your Mom and Dad! They are such kind and humble people that now have a space to enjoy their growing family. Seeing their beautiful garden from the grand windows is like living in the largest Hartley ever. Special thanks to you all for taking us along from the beginning. I feel so privileged.❤

Man what a privilege it has been for you to grow up in one single house your whole entire life… Being in your 30s and having your parents STILL in that same house and still married

I just love your mom , she is so soft spoken and kind . I can see where you get your demeanor. It’s such an honor to be able to see y’all’s relationship with each other and to be welcome into y’all’s every day life . ❤❤❤

Every Mom and Dad's dream -- to have a welcoming home to host their grown children and their families. Warm, welcoming, and loving!

Oh my 😍!! You can tell your Mom is beyond pleased with this space, as she should be! She has taken such a grand space and has made it feel livable, cozy and inviting…with touches of elegance. The natural light is stunning. I can imagine her picking different spots to sit throughout the day and just staring around in wonder and disbelief that this is their home! Enjoy!

Dear Laura and Susan, thank you for letting us be part of your wonderful renovation and for opening your home and yard to us. Such an inspiration. Beyond beautiful. Enjoy and build more memories.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! These are not magazine people, these are OUR people. Thank you Susan for sharing your home with us. IT IS PERFECT.

Your mom made me giggle when she showed us her empty drawers😂 I know exactly what she was feeling!! Finally room and space I can totally relate!! I also love how the both of you don't follow trends and make your spaces your own!! I absolutely love your moms gorgeous house! ❤

Susan, your yard and renovation of your home is lovely! Thank you Laura and Aaron for showing it to us!

Hearing the birds! Absolute magic. Well done.

Mom is such a darling. I don't know what the home looked like previously, but it is so gorgeous now. Love all the light and high ceilings.

"Ya just go right out and pick your dinner." Your Mum is so cute😊

Beautiful! Your mom said she's spoiled for having her own private bathroom down the hall, but that luxury is possible because of hard work all their lives. Your parents have earned and deserve it!

I gasped when I saw the thumbnail for this video. I’m so excited for Susan and for your family. This new space will fill up with wonderful new memories.

I like how Susan acknowledged all the people involved in this project even the refrigerator man that delays the refrigerator for a good 7 months! Thank you Susan for teaching us the virtue of Patience and gratitude.

You are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom. I wish I had a mom like yours.

Thank you Susan for welcoming us in. It was such a fun visit! Thank you Laura & Aaron for sharing it with us. I can’t wait for an updated garden tour next.

One of a thousand comments... and it will get lost in the vastness of comment world...but had to say... wow.... this is just beautiful...but also it is a REAL home, curated with lovely things that you love, full of nooks and crannies, reading corners, special decor items, pictures...plants...so welcoming! and not staged like a lot of home videos are...this home really tells your family story...I am sure your whole family will continue to make more lovely memories in this space.

Your mom saying “come on in 😁” to her newly renovated home… she’s so happy! I remember she used to be kinda camera shy in the beginning ❤

Oh Wow! So happy for your Mom and Dad to finally have their new space for your Family, it looks gorgeous. Your Mom is so sweet and cheerful. Change is hard and we all know that in the end it is worth it. Time to relax and enjoy 😊😊 Let the planting begin!

I just love your mom, she’s so sweet. Watching the two of you together makes me feel good, happy. Your enthusiasm is infectious. And the renovations are gorgeous.

Your mom is so sweet. She deserved this beautiful renovation for sure. It’s so beautiful. That’s my dream having so many windows that look out into our garden.

Your mum is just absolutely stunning! She seems like such a sweet soul. I am happy to see that your beautiful mum has now gotten this space to match her. Your parents have a gorgeous home, which looks cozy and welcoming.

Thank you for being so generous as to show us your lovely home renovation.

What a great day! You will always remember the day the trees were planted-a new era for the family!

You two are so sweet. I love to hear you even talk. Your mom seems like she’s such a sweet person. I know she is.

Wow! That's probably the most beautiful renovation I've ever seen! From the stone used in the decking, the beautiful pergola, to the colours of the indoor flooring and walls (both of which "speak" to me), this is a wonderful transformation. The biggest impact is the amount and quality of natural light from the windows and doors. It's like bringing the outside indoors. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate with you!

So happy for your parents, they have been so patient while this project took so much longer, but it’s so beautiful!

Your mom is the best talking about her new half bath in her sweet voice saying, “oh! I’m so spoiled” 😊

I had a smile on my face for the entire video. Awesome transformation, with more to come. Laura gets her keen vision from her mom. It was fun to see Aaron pitch in.

Aww, your mum is such a gentle soul! It must’ve been wonderful growing up with that gentle, soothing voice. What a gorgeous living space she has created - except perhaps for far too many sofas and chairs

Not everyone is able to blend the updated areas with the modern new spaces using antique furnishings and have it look so right together. Obviously, your mother makes it look so easy. It's lovely! Thank you, Susan, for sharing your home with us.

It is so beautiful! The amount of light that the doors and windows let in and the cross breeze will really be perfect. Thanks for letting us see the results.

Inside and outside are both beautiful! You’ll be having great holiday dinners on that giant table with all families together! What great families times to make great memories ❤️😁🌈

So lovely. It's one of those homes that you just walk up and feel like you're loved and welcomed into the family. You can tell it's a home full of love and family-filled fun. GORGEOUS! Thank you for the tour.

The smile on your mom's face says it all, she is such a beautiful person, inside and out! What a beautiful welcoming home. This has truly been a privilege. Everything is so nice and well done...loving the pergola, what a wonderful place to sit. Wow, the beautiful pictures painted by your Grandma & Great Grandma, they were so talented, definitely runs in the family. Thank you so much, take really good care. Lots of love Kathy x 💖

Famous quote "Your stuff and family makes it a home". 😂❤

Thank you. Your parents are so gracious to allow us into their space. I love every time we visit.

Thank you so much for allowing us to watch the progress (both inside and out) on your parents remodel. It gives us so many great ideas and inspiration! I can't wait to see the yard plantings as you go along. Such a joy!

The renovation brought a few misty tears to my eyes. The flow, colors, and furniture were wonderful. The architect's and builder's touches made the whole home sing rather than just adding a "box" to the end of the previous footprint. Enjoy your family here. Thanks for sharing everything with us.

I absolutely love your mom what a lucky girl u are❤❤❤❤ my mom died at 49 and i miss her and sure warms my heart to see u guys together,,

Blown away by the beauty of your Mom’s renovation!!! Wish your contractor lived in our area, would definitely be calling them to do some work for us!!! So very happy for your family, the renovation is gorgeous!!! 😊🪴💚

Oh, I love everything!!!! So happy for Susan and Mike, beautiful renovation and plenty of room for all those grandkids.

Oh my God, Susan! It is so, so beautiful! I’m a retired builder and I’m so excited for your new living space. Enjoy!

I love how the old and new comes together-wonderful expanse to enjoy inside and out!

I had to watch this twice. I just love the renovation and the decorations that your mother has used throughout her house

Laura, your Mom’s kitchen and renovation is sooooo beautiful. I love all the details and that she brought back her Presidents. The grounds are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Your Mom is such a beautiful mother, grandmother and kind person. I just love when you share your outings together. I lived in a different state than my Mom and I missed having what you have with yours. We were close, but being so far away made it difficult to have what you have. Treasure every minute that you have with your Mom and Dad. ❤❤❤

Everything looks so amazing! Love the cabinets to hide all the smaller appliances! Can't wait to watch you guys transform the empty garden space!!

Such a gorgeous renovation. Thank you Laura and Mom for the lovely home tour. From the beautiful kitchen cabinets, floor, lovely tall windows & doors to the antiques and homey furniture. Love the side table 'book end' as well. Awesome. May Mom and dad enjoy their lovingly renovated home for many years to come. Blessings and love. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞

I wasn't even cutting onions and yet the tears were flowing, lol!! Mike and Susan, God has truly blessed you with a beautiful home and thanks for sharing a tour with us!!

We too had to renovate the kitchen to get a bigger table for our grandkids. I really think if you swapped the tv with the piano that you and your husband would enjoy watching tv at night in the bigger space.

It is beyond stunning!!!❤❤❤ What seems like "setbacks" during a renovation are usually Blessings 🙌 in disguise. It always turns out so much better when moving at a speed that allows for digestion and processing. Little tweaks can be made to really make everything more customized for the user. So happy for your parents! Their years of personal sacrifice in order to raise & provide for their children, while also growing & enhancing their business has all come full circle. They not only have their dream kitchen, living and outdoor space, but have a dream space for enjoying time and making more memories with their family that has grown. May the Lord Bless you all with many more decades of great times and memories. 🙏 ❤️

Wow I'm so grateful to be a viewer ❤. You're home is so special, so inspiring!! What a treat!!!

Du hast nicht zu viel versprochen,liebe Laura, dass Haus Deiner Eltern ist atemberaubend geworden...und mehr als das...ich freue mich auf weitere Projekte. 😊❤

What a beautiful addition. Thank you for sharing your personal space. My favorite is all the windows & natural light. Looking forward to seeing all the landscaping to come around the patio.

Thank you Susan for your generosity in sharing the remodeling with us! It is truly spectacular and I hope you and your family have many years of memories in this new remodelled space ❤

A lower patio would be a great addition to the outdoor space. Love the addition

Awwww! Love this! I'm not sure which I enjoyed more; the tour or just watching you and your mom do your thang outside! You guys are just wonderful at making so many fun memories together! This made me so homesick for my Mom who has been gone 16 years. We had this same type of relationship. Thank you for reminding me of some wonderful memories of my own. THIS! THIS! is what makes the world go round.

Laura, your mom is so down to earth and so pleasant. Her house is lovely yet homey, I love it. I’m so happy for your mom and dad to have this completed, 8 months is a long time. This was a wonderful video, the trees are lovely.

Love the remodel. It is gorgeous. Your mom is so sweet to share her excitement with us. Can't wait to see what you do with the back yard.

Wow!! Could not have clicked fast enough!! That indeed was a labor of love and a test of your patience lol! The end result is amazing!!! So so delighted for you;

The dove cooing throughout the video was just the icing on the cake. So wonderful that you included Benjamin in planting the trees. Can't wait to see the ground planted up with blooming flowers.

What a fabulous day! Susan, I hope you and Michael have many happy days in this inspiring space. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Wow, Susan, just wow!!! Your home looks absolutely amazing! Such a peaceful, happy place! So much light, and you made such fantastic choices! Ugh! I am really in awe!!! Congratulations! So fun!!

Soooooo happy for your mom and dad! It looks fabulous - love your mom's style and aesthetic - just beautiful! Thank-you for sharing this with us; we get to live a little vicariously, lol. So beautiful for you to help plant the 2 new trees at your parent's house, will always be a wonderful memory for all of you. Congratulations - well deserved!

AWH I can tell how proud your mom is of you....keep up the good work! BEAUTIFUL I've admired your planting videos for some time.

It's so beautiful. I especially like the dining room area with all the windows and it feels so fitting for them to be able to bring the outside in and be surrounded by trees and plants! Thank you for the tour!

💞The much- anticipated renovation tour! EVERYTHING turned out so beautiful! There’s not an inch of it that I don’t love, and to see your mom so happy made it all worthwhile! Thank you and your mom for sharing this with us! This absolutely made my day❣️🥰

How beautiful 😍 Love the renovation. The trees too! This just proves that "where there's a will there's a way!" 😂 You ladies got it done! Great video❤

That is a NICE layout! Your mom has such a light about her! Everytime I see her, she makes me smile! You can tell she has such a loving energy. IT's like every time she turns around, she's smiling, even when she's not. Thank you SO much for sharing your space with us. It's really nice. Looks like multiple rooms in one space. The design is so open but seperated at the same time. I get the joy of having nothing in drawers lol My family had junk drawers that drove me up a wall! LOL I love those doors! It looks like a pool house without the pool. (Edit: Just got to the moment talking about the pool). I also love how yall aren't afraid to put art and pictures and thigns in the house and on the wall! No blank white walls! Your parent's garden is also beautiful (I would expect nothing less, of course).

Just GORGEOUS!...being a Hort junkie, I love all of the windows!...and 'nothing' in the drawers is so MY style...I can't tell you how enjoyable this vid is...as are all of yours, however your mom is doing for herself what she loves and that is what life is supposed to be...she's earned this! Thank you with much love to you, your fam, and your horticultural channel...x♥

I enjoy when we get to see "our" mom. Love the renovations and new/refreshed look.

It is fabulous. Perfection both inside and out! I love that Benjamin will have the memory of planting the trees at his grandparents.

One if the best renovations I have seen, finishes are perfect. You have beautiful taste too. And those windows...wow ❤

You and your Mother seem to have the same taste in most things and you seem to have such a wonderful relationship, it’s so nice to see and hear. Her home is fabulous, just beautiful

Thanks so much, Susan, for sharing your beautifully remodeled home with us. Your joy of your new space was evident. Oh, the wonderful family memories to come. Thanks, Laura, for introducing us to your lovely mom. She’s a treat to watch. 😍

So happy to see your mum in her happy place! It’s stunning. Her smile says it all! I hope your dad is just as happy ❤ no pain no gain! Looking forward to watching the garden renovation next 🎉❤❤

What a gorgeous comfortable home! I am jealous of all the light from the windows.Your yard and the sound of birds is wonderful. You have worked so hard and deserve this. Thank you for sharing.

I love the entire renovation!! Those plant stands on each post of the pergola are amazing!

What a treat to finally see the finished remodel. It turned out to be a beautiful light filled space, lovely!!

I loove your mums ”soo spoiled” ❤️❤️❤️ She really is so sweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Her and your tast is inpeckable 👌 Thank You Laura for showing us around and MUM for letting us come by!

Laura your mum have Heaven on earth. Like you !!!. God Bless. Well done.❤

Love love love your Parent’s addition/renovation! Wow. It’s really gorgeous! Love linden trees too!God bless you and your whole family!!! ♥️👩‍🌾♥️

What a wonderful addition to your parents' home. It is beautiful and I love her kitchen layout. I love the outside living area. Wow what a great job you all did in planning and your contractors did in execution. Love the two trees. The gardens are beautiful there and I am sure when finished this new garden area will be the same. Thank you Susan, for allowing us to visit your home. You are the best Mom ever.

Oh! a treble WOW ! Love it, love, love it. The colour choice of the flooring is perfect. Your light fittings and chandelier are just gorgeous. Susan you have staged your home beautifully and you got all your Presidents in 😁 Thank you so much for sharing your journey, your extreme patience has been rewarded in the end result. Richly deserved. Looking forward to seeing the garden develop.

The wall color is beautiful. Don't clutter up your space, though. Absolutely gorgeous.

You know, it’s wonderful you got this done as young as you all are! Healthy and active and enjoying your family. And now you’re doing so in this “new” beautiful home.

It sure was worth 8 months! Not only is your home beyond beautiful! You can see the quality in all of your windows cabinets lighting and flooring! Exceptional!!! Thank you for taking us along!❤ Congratulations and wishing you years of enjoyment! Just gorgeous!❤

Your mom is such a sweetheart! What a wonderful space for memory making moments for decades to come. The trees are beautiful. So glad you moved the birch a bit farther away from the house. It looks more balanced there too. I love that she wants grass to play crochet on!!

What a treat! Your parents deserve nothing less. Your mom's happiness is contagious. Everything looks so beautiful!!!!! Thank you both for sharing such a breathtaking transformation . May the good Lord grant you many, many years to enjoy❤

Congratulations Laura's parents for all of your hard work over your life to be able to enjoy this space. What a beautiful gift for yourselves to enjoy. Absolutely stunning.

Only one year to transform that space was so worth it to have so many to look forward to enjoy it. Under one year doesn’t seem like very much compared to how much you’re going to enjoy all that sunlight and doors working and especially when you bring all your family over, it’s gonna feel so wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your home with us Susan.❤ The remodel turned out so BEAUTIFUL.

I’ve learned so much about landscaping and architecture from you and your family… more importantly, I’ve witnessed the benefits of working together while embracing loving commitment … Thank You 🙏🏽😇

Just gorgeous! and the tall French door!Not only bring in so much light but give you just a beautiful view of the grounds! Very impressive! Will you show us again when you have your fridge and your tablescapes done? Congratulations! ❣~Darcy
