Mary, you are one of the most industrious and resourceful people I have ever had the privilege of seeing! You always turn a sow's ear into a silk purse!❤

"I'm probably making this harder." It's the details that make a job Mary and the window was genius.

The window in the latticework was genius! The refurbished area is so welcoming, fun and useful!

Beautiful...Peaceful...Tranquil...What a transformation! And the window in the framed lattice was a homerun! I hope you enjoy many days and evenings under the deck.

Mary, you take an unused spot and make it beautiful. The window was a beautiful addition and frames the beautiful outside view perfectly. The added addition of the sink perfection. It's a gorgeous space.

I love what you did under your deck!! The window you cut out looks beautiful!! The sink was a genius idea. Love it!!

Mary, this turned out absolutely stunning! Your vision for a space never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us and taking us along for the transformation. Also, this was a very relaxing video to watch, at least for me 😌. I hope you and John enjoy your “new” refreshed space. I wish we could’ve seen video of the space after dark with the beautiful hanging lamp & lantern 🥰 Many blessings to you and your family.

Hi Mary! My name is Gail and I'm 72 years young and my hubby is 75! We love watching your KZfaq channel! It's a given thing for us to do everyday now! You are something else dear heart! I love your ideas and I envy your talent! You have many wonderful ideas and we look forward to watching you daily!!! I'm getting ready to shop on your Etsy site!!! Thank you for such informative and teaching videos!! We love them. I also love watching your thrift shopping!!! : ) We are neighbors here in Indiana!!! Blessings always!!!

What a beautiful spot you have created under your deck, Mary! It is just lovely. You have such a way with creating beautiful, nature-filled, cozy spaces around your home. Well done! ♥♥♥

Anything you do or touch turns into beauty. Love the window and the old sink.

Oh! Mary! That’s all I can say. I’m speechless at what a transformation this is. God has gifted you.

You out did yourself on this Mary! It is just lovely, the window in your lattice and the old sink, just everything. I love it

I absolutely love the transformation. Especially the latitice with a window. Not only a nice work space, but a great retreat from the sun when working in the yard. Thanks for sharing!

How pretty! At first I was thinking, “No, don’t block your view.” Then I see you put in that little cutout window…How genius! It looks so nice. I always enjoy your little finishing touches. ❤

Mary, you and John have transformed this area so beautifully, just as with the rest of your home and land. I ❤ your inspirational ideas! Thank you both for sharing. 😊👍

I am truly in awe of all the things you so confidently tackle, Mary. This area came out so nice. I love the potting bench with the old sink and soap dish as well as the shelf above. The curve of the window is fantastic. It makes an already pretty view that much prettier.

Fantastic Mary! You never disappoint us with your multitude of ideas!👏👏👏

I just love watching you two work together. You do it yourselves rather than hiring someone to do it like my husband John and I do. No job is too difficult, you will figure it out. We drained our greenhouse sink (that is hooked to city water) the same way you did! Your ideas are always great! What a beautiful improvement! Love it ❤

Hi Mary… please tell John that his rock walk up the slope is just stunning! A real work of Art! Love it when you are creating things… your go ahead energy…keen eye… artistic sense… is so inspiring! Thank you for being a shinning light in this world❣️🌞❣️

Mary , as always you and John have made a beautiful haven for relaxing. So peaceful.

What a team! Nice see you two working so well together. Enjoying watching your videos. Always something to learn.

Mary, your under deck area looks .marvelous now! The potting bench area is fun and useful. The addition of potted plants looks amazing. It's so nice to have another change of pace area for sitting and relaxing.

Mary, both you and your husband are so blessed to have each other. Making your house a home together is good medicine too.

Oh ….how beautiful is this space ! That cutout window is so fabulous looking from the driveway over. Grand idea…the shape, the lantern hanging down. I love the sink out there and the light over it ! Everything you touch turns fabulous! I’m sure you did enjoy this make over. Always LOVE hearing your birds singing and the water running, It is good for the soul ! God bless and have a wonderful week.

Oh my, how absolutely beautiful! You have such a way of creating a sanctuary everywhere at your home. Indoor and outdoor. I agree with others that the lattice wall with cathedral type window was the icing on top....until you made the potting area complete with the treasured sink. The complete project was a joy to watch. All of your videos should somehow be a coffee table book😊 PS...I usually don't get much thrill out of videos of people cleaning.....but.....I loved a few videos back where you were cleaning the Sparrows Nest cottage. I told my husband, "Don, look, Mary is cleaning our cottage!". (We stayed there late April for 3 nights and we're still talking about it.......and plan to return often) You and John are a wonderful team.❤

Mary, you're such inspiration! Turning that space into something so beautiful!!! If you put most of what you used in a big pile, most people would look at and think it was just something being tossed to a landfill, yet look what you created!!! Showing us all how to see potential in everything reuse & repurpose nearly forever!!!! ✌️&❤

Beautiful job! Who wouldn’t want a place like that to pot up plants, sit down and rest or retreat from all the hard work? Love that potting bench! Your little soap holder is perfect! 👍

I absolutely love this secret little get away. Having an area to plant and enjoy a shaded area to relax, plan and dream is priceless! My favorite mini makeover and you've had some really great ones! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!

I'm always on awe of your creativity!! This space is everything!! It's so peaceful and tranquil!!☺️ Another masterpiece! I absolutely enjoy your videos Mary!! Thank you for always inspiring us to create and to see the beauty we're surrounded with!!🥰

I SO enjoyed this video! Everything was incredibly awesome! WOW! You and your husband John are SO complimentary to each other…precious to see!

Mary words fail me,nothing I could say would justify your on going tablets and pure grit to plough through any project! I was watching John when you were drawing the inside of the decal 😂 I can imagine him saying " no you can do that part as I will get it wrong 😂😂😂..he must be so proud of you. You both are wonderful people who work relentless on whatever is needed. It's funny as those tap chains are as standard in majority of the uk 😂..I will send you some,you possibly will have already found some by the time you receive mine buy you can always keep spares as they don't last that long really, maybe 2 years before they snap. Absolutely love your new area..Stella work Mary & John and not forgetting Mark the trusty plumber brother in law 😊.

Just beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Mary. ♥️

Mary, I’m amazed every week at the beautiful spaces and creative things you and John create. I loved the videos from last week and this week. Your outdoor spaces are so lovely and welcoming.

A gorgeous spot to come to on a hot summer day. It's all about the ambiance. The window and the potting bench with the sink set the tone for a well designed space. Mary never cease to amaze me. ❤

Mary that couldn't possibly look any better. Id prefer that to a fancy motel. That looks and feels like home. ❤❤❤❤You're such an inspiration and to see you and Jon work together absolutely melts me. I appreciate that and it reminds me of my dad working with mom. I sure miss daddy. You even look like my mom. Her name is Mary too, and good Christian people.

The transformation of the below deck potting oasis is beautiful. I love the "window" you created in the lattice wall! God bless.

Mary, that space is so lovely!! Very creative and functional for your needs. Great job!❤

Mary, I’ll say it again… you’re a genius! I love the space under the deck. The sink… 😍😍 I enjoyed this video. A LOT!!!

Well, Mary I think this is the prettiest most serene place you’ve done yet!

I love how you decorated and made that space so pretty! You can come up with the cutest ideas and DIY's like the bench and the sink! That window in the lattice is such a beautiful feature! Thanks Mary!

So beautiful and useful at the same time! I love the window and the potting bench! Using the sink and the soap holder really make it into a nicer space.

Your outdoor space looks beautiful Mary!🪴 Love the old sink and your window idea too!!

Mary, Your improvement underneath your porch is beautiful. I especially love the window you put in and hung the lantern in it, it so amazing. You are so blessed with such talent, and you have such an amazing imagination to come up with all the “great things” you do around and in your home at such a low cost for the family. Anyone could just spend all day sitting ad relaxing in the different spaces around your home, they are all so pretty and look to be so relaxing.

It's wonderful how you take a plain spot, and recreate a lovely working area. Makes all you spaces comfortable and easier for working and relaxing

I've been looking forward to your videos every Wednesday since forever, it seems. I like all the videos, and I love some of them. There's never been one that I didn't like. But this video just made my all-time favorite video! We are working on an outdoor kitchen of sorts. You really simplified the sink for us. I can't wait to use these ideas! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!!😊

Mary your home is turning into a beautiful paradise after so many years of watching you (5) I’ve got to admire you for your strength,perseverance,and loyalty to us subscribers I am blessed to have found your channel You have taught me a ton of things and I’m so proud of your growth! ✨🤍👏😊

I smiled the whole way through…. The birds chirping in the background was so sweet, too. You created a beautiful space. 😊

That window is what makes it. I love the gardening you do. The fact that you and John always work so hard and then work hard on your home when you’re together is so uplifting to watch. You’re very talented and also a hard worker. We have a ground hog also! 😮 I’m glad you found a heat tolerant lettuce. The weather has been very odd so making adjustments to when we can plant and harvest, even if it’s not because of animal pressure is a very helpful thing the seed companies are helping us with. Are you able to save seeds? I know with your background that those practices were and still are important. I think we need to turn toward those ways since apparently the country seems to be getting more and more difficult to consider sustainable. I’m growing food mainly to be less dependent upon the grocery stores. Local and homemade would be perfect to get common again. I always enjoy music you have on your program. Thanks for sharing some of your days work with us. I wish we lived closer. We may need to take a trip some day. The sink and potters bench is so great!! If you only knew how much you inspire my garden - ✌️🐛🦋💚

Beautiful Mary, I love what you did with this space. The old sink looks great.Thanks again ❤

Onde vc toca sempre há uma transformação incrível! Ficou lindíssimo! Essa ideia de guardar a mangueira do jardim num recipiente galvanizado é genial👏👏👏Amei tudo! Tens mãos de fada!❤

If jealousy wasn't a sin, I'd admit to being jealous! Such a wonderful space. And I especially love the sink!

Oh my goodness, forgot all about my grandparents having same chain/plug for old fashioned sink…thank you for this little memory.

I love the coziness of your lower deck!!!

What a charming and functional space! You did a fantastic job! 💖

Hunky Hubby makes an appearance and Hunky BIL. Cool, lol. I love the potting station! The window in the lattice is clever addition. It adds polish to the area. Sort of looks like a little cafe. The cats are going to love hanging out there in the shade.

Does all this work in a skirt and flip flops. You go girl 👏 ❤

Love watching your ideas come to life. So creative! That window opening makes the whole area.

This room looks so inviting now! I really love the lattice wall with the cut out window. 💖

"Waste not, want not." Beautiful transformation!

Amazing how you can take a forgotten little nook and turn it into an adorable, functional space. The window in the lattice is beautiful,and I love your potting station. I have to admit when you bought those soap holders, I didn’t care for them, but it looks so cute with your gardener’s soap in it. The lantern and the light over your potting table are just extra icing on the cake. So pretty!

Great video! Your space turned out so beautiful. Great place to relax out of the sun and nice work space for planting!

Another great job, Mary! Everything just looks so inviting!

It seems as if you just say “oh I’d like to do this and..boom..you do it! I say that same thing and MAYBE I do it in a year or two! Haha! It’s absolutely beautiful! And just another beautiful spot to enjoy!

Mary...your ideas are beyond brilliant!! Who would have thought of adding a window in lattice?? It's GORGEOUS!!!

I loved the deck with all of the new outdoor furniture, but I am heading for the garden and potting area! It reminds me of not having a care in the world....who am I kidding, let's do a little more!❤️

Father God has truly blessed you with many gifts and talents. Everything you touch turns to gold. So absolutely beautiful!

Dear Mary, my name is Brenda Kaihoi and I have been enjoying your videos since 2019. Early in 2020 before the COVID shut down occurred, I shared your channel with my sister, Beth. We both look forward to your videos each week. We also have a brother, Scott, with whom we are planning a trip together. As a direct result of your channel, we are spending our time together in Ohio, flying into Columbus from Minnesota. Our first stop is the Apple Blossom of the Olde Orchard Cottages. We will be there Wednesday and Thursday, August 2nd & 3rd. We are so excited to visit your area and see some of the places in person that you have taken us to via KZfaq.

What a beautiful transformation. So peaceful, private and serene. Although the whole property are those things. Love the lattice and window cutout, all the potted plants, the set up of furniture, the Adirondack chairs, all so peaceful and beautiful, hard to describe!

I could soooo go for you recording more conversations in dutch. Especially when its just you and hubby working on part of the project together.... Its cute !

I made a video probably a month ago about my under deck patio. We had concrete poured underneath ours now it is our favorite place to sit outside. Thank you so much for your inspirational videos. my yard has been a blank space for many years and watching your videos has really helped me slowly transform mine into something beautiful.

You are amazing! What a tranquil spot for a potting shed. The lattice with the window added not only added privacy but allowed the light to shine through. I have always admired your decorative touches.

Cannot get over how peaceful and beautiful this space has become, you are blessed!

It came out great, and the fact that you used what you already had makes it unique. Another spot to relax and do some gardening 😍👏💪

Oh Mary THAT window is beautiful!! you are so clever!!! I think that room is every Gardner’s dream space!!!

GET OUT!! The window in your lattice is spectacular!!! Love the whole thing!

This area is so inviting, it makes you want to either sit and enjoy it or jump in and get some work done. So well done.

Mary younever cetacean to amaze me. I love lattice but adding the window is pure genius.

Mary, you created a absolutely perfect design for under the deck. I think my favorite is the door wall, sink and potting table with shelf!!! Your attention to detail is inspiring! The stone seating looks very inviting and the lighting you chose is a pretty touch. I enjoy watching you & John work together on project too. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Mary, Mary, Mary, this is absolutely gorgeous. I am not a fan of lattice, but when you put that window in, I was in awe. It is perfect. I just love how you have turned this little catchall area into such a tranquil and beautiful space. I love it.

You know what Mary, the day you were doing landscape, I thought "she should do some makeover under that deck."And as if you were listening you actually done that.its looking amazing.i would love to be there all the time.

Mary, I love what you created. And oasis of beauty, peacefulness and tranquility. You never cease to amaze me.

Love the window you put in on the lattice... so pretty. I also like that you offset the sink so you have a work space so important when you want to create a place to work. My husband and I have worked so hard on our place... updating our deck and adding a porch enclosure plus a 1000 sq ft stone patio. But rewards are 100 fold when you sit in your space and admirer your hard work. So worth it. Thanks for sharing your ideas and creativity.

Wow, you really turned that space into a tranquil, welcoming spot! I love it!!!

Not beautiful, its better than beautiful, its welcoming, serene, useful and inviting, a cozy relaxing place to read, relax or just watch nature in all its beauty. Thanks you so much for inviting me to watch you create this insignificant space into a haven of peace. Ps. The soap dish with the bird was ideal. GOD Bless.

Hard to choose which of the new changes would be my favorite. I love them all. The cutout window is so charming. The functionality of your salvaged sink and potting table and wall is very resourceful. Good for you, expanding useful living space.

WOW MARY!! You and your husband did an awesome job. I just love these ideas you come up with. All the pots are really pretty. The sink! What a great idea. The soap dish is so so pretty, and putting the window in the lattice, that turned out Great! Of course your idea and John bringing it all together ❤ Perfect 👌 I can only imagine sitting there listening to the running water and enjoying the outdoors with all the shade. I could spend hours out there. I also love the shelf above the sink!! and the hanging light.

Clips from the end of the video absolutely belong in a magazine‼️ It looks so welcoming and mesmerizing 😍 Thank you so much for sharing this with us Mary ❤

Mary, you and John created a beautiful spot. It looks one hundred percent better. I am sure you know, but if not, and you want to remove the rust from your sink, you can get a kit and repaint it. I did it on a very old rusty tub in the past and it holds up really well, and looks good. Seeing as your sink is outdoors, the rust just adds character.❤😊

Plant creeping lemon thyme between your rocks on the little patio and when you walk in it, it gives the most beautiful lemon aroma x your potting table area is lovely

I love how you repurpose so many times, very inspiring all of your peaceful areas. God bless

Every woman that watches your channel wants a John. He is so handy and not bad to look at either. Y’all are a great team! Making your home place gorgeous. I bet your parents are so happy seeing it so well loved.

Your porch is so pretty, peaceful and unique. The window makes it extra special as does the sink. You have a gift for making thing’s beautiful.

You surpass them all…..a true virtuous woman💕 Love everything you do!💕

All I can say is…..wow! You two together are a power house!

What a spectacular Window! And I love the lantern hanging from it. You two are so creative and work well together. Your Husband is a Blessing to be able to execute your ideas. Blessings!

Love, love, and love some more!!! Wanna wash my hands in that sink just for a memory's sake!!!!

Mary, you amaze me! That is so peaceful… listening to the birds, the lattice makes the area so cozy! I LOVE it!!!

I certainly enjoyed that video of you fixing up a place to do repotting! You had such great ideas. Lucky, your husband helped you as well. The sink in the table was a great idea when potting you need to wash your hands. The gravel is easier to walk on also. It looks so peaceful under there. I know you will get lots of enjoyent out of your work.

Mary you are just so full of ideas and you make the best of every situation. How nice that John is so willing to help you ! Wow your under the deck project is perfection !!! The window in the lattice is sooo pretty and that soap dish is so very cute !!!! So enjoyed this video. THANK YOU MARY !

Every time I watch you Mary, I’m amazed at all the beautiful projects you complete. So nice to see a couple that works together so well. It looks amazing ! Blessings 🌿🌿🌿🌿
