Well done, April! It can't have been easy for you, but you show such respect for your mother-in-law's taste and have made her a beautiful, comfortable home - neat and tidy yet lived in.Some make-overs look great, but you wouldn't dare sit down and put your feet up in them!
So much better - now you can see your mother-in-law's lovely antiques, collectibles, pottery, etc. Wonderful.
I love the Longaberger baskets.
This was a great series! I love your MIL's taste in her collections and antiques and how you were able to fit it into the makeover. Shopping from what we already love and own and to display it in a new way is so satisfying. I would for sure love to live in that house.
I appreciate your space saving tips, and how realistic, economic, and versatile in designing according to the needs and tastes of those you redesign for.
April….This video was worth the wait! I agree about adding the half bath. It’s beautiful, convenient for your family, and adds $$$ value if and when they decide to sell. I forgot about the sink in that bathroom. Love it!! I was looking at buying a couple of rugs from Ruggable, because I have grandkids and pets. Might reconsider that. You might not contact them, but they will probably get in touch with you. 😄I think the house looks amazing! Thank your mother in law for allowing us this peek into her home.
She has some stunning furniture pieces, I love how you placed them in the right spot and the whole house has a better feel, and that green dishware is so beautiful and compliments the space the way you have decorated all the pieces. What a lovely living dinning room. So beautiful! Great job April!
She has beautiful furniture and 'knick knack' pieces. The livingroom room definitely shines. The shower curtain will look so nice with the rug in the bathroom. That is a great, comfortable house. Thumbs up to the makeover..😊
Thank you, April and the whole family for this fun series. You all have put so much work into it and it shows! I always love your supermarket flower arrangements because they aren't over the top and make me feel like I can do it too :) Thank you :)
I love how you took both homes (in-law’s and your parents’) and decluttered them to have their personalities and style shine through. Beautiful work!
I get pillow covers at IKEA, Hobby Lobby, on line, or I even sew them or alter them…... The are fun to change for the seasons and easier to store for each season…..
April, you are so talented, a genius. I would never think of such ideas. The whole house shines. It has become really beautiful
Mai Zimmy has the same problem with the ruggable. 😕 So sad to see, that it hasn't last as long in propper condition as it should. Always thought it has to be a really good purchase.
I’m dying over the “I’m not a professional florist, as someone commented.” 🤣💀🤣
haha 🤪 right.
This has been a wonderful series to follow! You are so respectful of others' tastes and preferences, never pushing your own on them. I really enjoy watching your videos and can't wait to see more.
I love that this house tells their story! It’s so warm & cozy ❤️ Nicely done, April!
Yes your MIL likes stuff but she has great taste
I like the chairs the older you are you like to sit to take off muddy boots😄
Loved it! So wonderful you could help them out. Much more peaceful. Your mother in law must feel like a weight has been lifted off of her. And BTW, you ARE a professional flower arranger to us!!👏🏼
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. How people live and accumulate over the years. It's nice to have someone come in with a fresh eye and great tips to assist back to calm. All the rooms look really good while respecting her collections. I love the cottage home, she has beautiful pieces.
Look forward to the next series.
Lovely to see an overall view of the transformation to your in laws home, adding fresh flower vases around the home is a pretty touch, I enjoy doing that around my home, nor am I a pro 💐
I think what you have created is quite personal and respectful but also much more functional in all ways...well done. Looking forward to more videos in the future
Love what you did for your mother in laws home, warm, inviting, beautiful and tidy
Jadeite and Longaberger!!! I love your mom in law's taste.
Wow! What a difference. So pretty and calming. I love some of the touches of antiques. 💕
Thank you for the comment on the "Ruggables". The warping would drive me crazy. Love the makeover.
I really like how this home truly reflects your MIL and things that are special to her. It’s so lovely. I like her taste, she has some beautiful pieces! It’s SO refreshing to see this instead of the generic grey and white and homes that all start to have the same aesthetic we’ve been seeing the past 10 years. Great job!
P.S Ruggable rugs are a no go for me too… not worth it. Over hyped by paid sponsorships IMO.
Wow it looks so good! What a big difference! So much calmer than it was before!
I like what you did adding the flowers, I think greenery in a house always makes it look more finished and lived in…… although I have a slight plant obsession (nearly 50 plants in a 2 bed flat……. But I don’t really have ornaments, so I think it’s not to crazy!)
The home looks calmer.personally I would have the jaddite out instead of glass in cabinet with dining...fits aesthetic of cottage to me. The crystal is almost too classy. :).
Love it all!!
It is absolutely gorgeous! It is everything I wanted when I was trying to put together my first home in the 90s, she and I must be around the same age. She has beautiful pieces and you really showed them to their best!
Your idea to simultaneously clean and declutter in small chunk results in actual success! And, the method distributes the ‘wow, I’m tired’ over time. Thank you.
Oh yes!! It's exhausting work. Gotta do it in small, motivational chunks!
"So different in here" is an understatement! How lovely does everything look now! Fabulous job April!
I've learned so much about decluttering and using what I have through all your makeovers!
The piece that still really intimidates me is the DIY part -- I know next to nothing about painting, replacing doorknobs, hanging shelves, etc...It would be helpful if you did a miniseries on tips and tricks you've found for DIY, esp on a budget / with limited tools!
So much work, and the end results are lovely. Peaceful and comfy. I wouldn't add a thing. Now you see her pretty things and that's what we want to see in our homes.
Wow this is a beautiful home again. You all did such a wonderful job. I do know that it was a long process but it just looks spectacular ❤
Love the after! Your MIL's home with all her "treasures" is exactly my vibe.
Wow, it all looks so good and I think I heard the house sigh as it finally could take a breath! You really worked your magic!
You really changed the space(s). I would have kept the boarders and trims white. It would make the main color pop. You are really changing lives. Great work!
Question: why are there dishes on the shelf in the mudroom? Doesn't make sense. I would store items you need for outside; how about some cute rainboots and umbrellas?
The mud room is attached to the kitchen though so the dishes didn’t feel out of place to me.
Target prices can be steep. I'm Marshall's, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Ross girl.
One thing I learned in hunting for a new bathmat myself is -you can have nonslip and you can have washable but you can’t have both 😂 the nonslip part on the back is what makes it go all stiff and wrinkly in the washer.
To clarify, it's considered a kitchen mat, but it's not one of those thick squishy kitchen mats. It's more flat and has a soft "tooth" to the touch. Patterns I've seen are not kitchen-specific and my mom uses hers in the bathroom.
So cozy and funtional, great job.
Amazon! Get pillow inserts and then can get any covers you want. It's so easy to switch out covers for the seasons and the covers don't take up much room at all.
I really enjoy the choice of music you used. It enhanced the viewing. A job so well done in the home! 🌸
Oh yay, so happy to hear that! I've been trying to integrate more of your guys' suggestions into the edits!
What brand is your face mask?! I've never noticed it sitting over your nose before!
The makeover looks so great 🤗 calm, cosy and peaceful now
Yes! I need to know!
Loved watching this series
Love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️

😄😄😄
Well done 👍
Your mother in law a good 👍 sport 🎾🎾🎾
Letting you and Jackson make over her house
Just beautiful 😻
You have amazing vision, I'm surprised you don't do this as a job. It was such a shame you didnt have more time at your mum's house and lost 2 days because of planes. Ugh. I am very happy happy you loved your stay in western Canada but next time, come to Ottawa and you can go have fun in the Gatineau hills, a lot of people try hard to bike it, I did once a lifetime ago 🤣 but it's beautiful there and just across the bridge. I cant wait to see you going home and fluffing it. 🤗😘💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The rooms look SO much better! Wonderful!
Thank you for the honest review of Ruggable. I've heard the same issue on other channels and saw someone recommend Tumble as a better alternative that is still washable.
Oh I haven't heard of that brand, I will def check them out!
What an incredible difference you have made!
The "candled" tree is a very nice focal point in the room (draws the eye upward)............
Enjoying your channel very much. Always look forward to your Sunday drop. Z x
I love artificial garlands, mainly because you can re-arrange the leaves, stems etc. until they look exactly the way you want them.
I like your mix of fake and real greenery. Some fakes can look tacky, but you did a good job with your choices. I always opt for real plants, but some spaces they just aren't practical. I agree with Ruggable. I have a number of clients that have them, and I am just not a fan. They dont hold up. And most do not wash well in standard washing machines. Truthfully I am not a huge fan of rubber backed rugs overall. She needs to watch her pets. They tend to pee on the rubberized rubs, something about the smell. For Bathrooms I prefer the solid cotton bath mats, kitchens the gel filled mats and entry's, an inexpensive low pile rug that can be pressure washed or replaced as needed. This transformation was beautiful.
You’ve done a great job 👍💪🏼 x Caroline 🇬🇧
I order my pillow covers from Amazon! They’re amazing!
Maybe it'd be good to steam / iron the rug edges flat? Still agree that it shouldn't happen but it might be a good fix to at least not trap your doors.
Their house is so lovely.
I wonder if ironing the edges of the rugs would make a difference in how much they curl up. It may have to do with the way they're constructed, or maybe one part of the rug has shrunk a tiny bit in the wash and pulls at the rest.
In that case ironing would definitely my first step. You might be able to stretch the fabric back out if you pull on them really hard in all directions.
I do this with my dish towels. They tend to shrink in the middle more than around the edges, so they almost make a sort of hourglass shape instead of a square. Especially those woven bands of different colours tend to shrink in the wash. So I pull very hard on the edges of those stripes and then they are a square again.
It would be harder to do with a rug, they're much bigger, and I imagine it will get harder the older you get, to put some force on the fabric.
It sucks that they do this, especially since they're pretty pricey.
Such beautiful rugs! Yet you ended up back at Target! 😢
I like most of what you did. Love the kitchen...fav! Think you missed in the mud room. I would flip flop it for better function.
The makeovers are absolutely lovely! I love your MIL’s style! Her home has so much character. It must feel so comfortable and cozy to stay there.
Could you add the link to this final to the description of episode 10? Thank you! Amazing work! 😍
Beautifully done April!
Surprisingly Hobby Lobby has a large selection of pillow covers in many different fabrics, textures, and sizes.
Oh I didn't know that!!?
So many huge transformations! What a difference to the living room, laundry room, and kitchen!!! Such a beautiful home now! Love her antiques! Re: the Rugables. Would a double sided tape around the edges solve the problem of curling?
I'm curious...were the rugs placed in a dryer after they were machine washed? I would imagine that that would warp the mats quite a bit. I'd air dry mine, preferably on a clothes line, if I ever purchased machine washable mats. Having said that, if they are labelled as clothes dryer safe, then they're clearly faulty.
eautifully done I love how eclectic it is& how lucky she is to have & find such amazing Pieces furniture
Painting the entertainment Center darker would help blend in????
Perhaps you could suggest Ruggable could provide a non slip/ trip kit with each purchase instead of it being a separate purchase!
Great job! Amazing transformations ❣️
Lovely. I was so glad to see the red wall gone!!
And I agree it would be nice if you could just buy pillow covers. We don’t need more pillows!!
Thank you for being truthful about ruggable, we really debated it because everyone is always saying how great they are but now I'm wondering if those are all payed partnerships
Congratulations, April. What a huge transformation. Truly a beautiful makeover. I can only imagine the huge difference it's made for everyone.
You did such a wonderful job! The home is beautiful. It looks so much brighter, lighter and airier(if that is even a word 😉)! I am sure they are thankful for all you did and are enjoyinging the improved space.
Such a beautiful and thoughtful make over. Very respectful of her style. 💜
April well done, amazing transformations to both families houses. Spaces are so much more functional and yes when everything has a place the clutter remains at bay! It inspires you to keep the tiddyness up
I have seen some people fixing the curling of the edges by steam ironing them.
👍👍👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I am loving this cottage makeover! I am sad to see it end. 😞 Your videos are so inspiring and they give me ideas for my own home. My family moved last year to new to us home that has cottage vibes. I will revisit your makeover videos for my inspiration. You guys did a beautiful job making your in laws home so cozy and beautiful. 💗🙌🏻💯
Hi April, This home has become so cozy, and a true refection of the people who live there. As you say it's not to take everything away, but to clarify. I love that! You inspire me, not just for myself, but for others in my family who need to do just that! I can't wait for the next in your series! P.S. I agree about Ruggable. Just too pricey! Be well and take care.
I liked this video I watched every one you have made lately twice. You have such a friendly warm way to decorate and redo rooms, I just enjoy it so much. Please give us more to see and help us get that friendly quality in our home too. Thank you for all you endeavors in making this home so warm and comfortable to enjoy. It must have been well appreciated.
I would LOVE to watch her art tutorial videos!!
well done, if they ever decide to movie that extra bathroom will up the price!
WOW! Love this transformation !❤
U did an absolutely amazing job 👏
Absolutely beautiful! 💞
So pretty and comfortable ❤
wow, What a huge & elegant difference ...
Beautiful
So beautiful- a lovely makeover
Peaceful!
I also wish target would sell just the throw pillow cases!! The only place I've ever had good luck finding just cases is Amazon, and I don't feel like I find my style on there. Any ideas on other places just to buy the pillow cases?
Ikea
Etsy
Hobby Lobby has a huge selection of pillow covers, but yes it would be nice if Target did too.
Use double sided rug tape on the edges.
Gorgeous!
Hobby Lobby sells pillow covers
I have four ruggable rugs which I have not yet washed. I will not put them in the dryer and will put them back down immediately so I hope that prevents edge rolling. Trust me, if it does not, I will be phoning the company!!!
If you do phone them I'd be curious to hear what they say.
Beautiful work!
So nice it’s becoming
So beautiful!
Beautiful.
The difference is breathtaking. OT, a video without Izzy is a week without sunshine. Just sayin' :).
