  • On Today's episode of Homeworthy we're taking you to Hillside Farm, a fabulous property just outside of Philadelphia. Ruth McKeaney and her family live in a beautiful historic home from the 1700s. On the rolling grounds you can also find an enormous barn, a chicken coop, a cutting garden and so much more. They spent years lovingly renovating this property and wait until you see what the home and farm used to look like. You won't believe it! Enjoy!

    This is more than just a house tour, it's an example of how to live a beautiful life. Every time she mentioned a painting by a friend, career advice from her uncle, her children's' artwork, her younger brother and his friend helping restore the property, hosting her daughter's wedding, all of the family parties, the apple trees gifted by her cousin....it shows you real wealth is not money, but relationships. Her life seems out of a novel, and she seems like such a wonderful person too.

    As a single woman, I realized she was able to create that amazing space because of her amazing partner working with her and children supporting it. We all don't have that situation, unfortunately. However, we can all apply the same principles of making our home tell a story and be a safe place for family and friends. What an inspiring episode! Thanks, Homeworthy.

      You are so right.
      We gave home-building creation/design over to builders instead of architects, and, instead of emulating previous, beautiful DESIGNED structures.
      We gave up beauty + charm, for efficiency. Dumb tradeoff that seemed like a great idea at the time.
      It wasn't a great idea.

And what a blessing that they have had 5 beautiful children to share and enjoy it. And with that many children, there will be lots of grandchildren and generations to come to be blessed by their legacy. Ruth is an amazing woman with an amazing view of the true meaning of life . This has been bookmarked so I can watch it over and over. And the book is on my Christmas wish list .

    STUNNING. Now THAT’S a house! Perfectly imperfect. Curated not decorated. It’s been edited to exactly what’s needed to make it feel utilitarian in a way that’s loved, welcoming and not overly done or staged…..a place you want to stay for long summer visits and fun winter, family filled weekends as well as simple dinners that stretch waaaay into the night with good food and good conversation!
    You can’t beat the feel of a large family farm. Beach properties are great and mountain properties are fab too but for that restorative, exhaling experience, a grass roots moment on a farm that’s spanned generations has a healing effect like no other place…..it’s the feel of the stones & the boards that you know have been touched millions of times, it’s the smell of the fields & the gardens, it’s the sound of the music that the birds, crickets and voices make when mixed together that make a healing symphony.
    This family HOME and it’s story is wonderful & inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
    Wishing you many more generations of loving ownership and successful living!!!

    I did not want this video to end. What a lovely woman, what a warm and inviting home and magical property! My favorite room (and it wasn't easy to choose) is without a doubt, the kitchen. Probably because some of the elements are the same as mine--traditional white cabinets, reclaimed heart pine floors, mixed with stainless appliances. It's so homey and I absolutely love that island. What a luxury to have the space for something so large that friends and family can gather around while you cook. This is a special place and I'm going to have to buy her book! Well done, well done. (Hint hint--maybe there can be a part 2 where we see it done up for Christmas and see her father's home on the property? Please....🙏)

    What I love about Homeworthy is that we get to meet such creative, talented, and interesting people who share their homes and lives with us. The homes are all unique and simply beautiful but what I am noticing is the common thread is family. Whether the family is parents, grandparents, children, friends, or pets they're remembered and cherished throughout their homes. Many of their possessions while beautiful more importantly have memories attached to them and were often given to them by family and friends.
    Ruth's home is beautiful and she is so multi-talented. She appears to have such a generous and giving heart.

    Our world needs more families like this. The music score from her mother, framed, in a place of honor in the house; the orchard allee; and so much more in and around the house reveal genuine faith in God as well as love of family and country. May they be blessed.

    I had tears in my eyes all the way through this. Her love for her family and friends shines through her. I could listen to her all day long and still want to hear more. What a joyous life Ruth has had with Bob. They've worked their butt's off and created a stunning home with outstanding gardens and raised 5 wonderful artistic children. I feel all warm and fuzzy after having peeped into their life, you may not think it's perfect Ruth, but it's as near to perfect as is possible. You and Bob were made for each other. I'm going to order her book & bake those cookies.

    This is so much more than a tour ❤️ a labor of love and passion. This has inspired me in my own space. I found ourselves in a similar situation, an expectant mother shifting from another home with a blank canvas to create a warm and welcoming space to share with others. ❤️
    I love how each piece is intentional and has thought behind it. It creates space for story sharing and I think that makes a space that makes people feel comfortable.
    A few things I took away from this video: “I love setting a table, create beauty when people come so they feel you thought about them and you feel welcome.” The cutting garden, the herb garden, each art piece having attachment.
    Phenomenally done. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for capturing the tasteful, inviting beauty of this home and its grounds - but more importantly, the beauty, warmth and intelligence of this inspiring woman. Wow, if only every head of state and home could emulate she and her husband's values. Almost unbelievable she did not begin as a lifestyle guru - or an interior designer by degree. Such an innately creative individual. Really enjoyed this episode!

    I am Korean. It's a really beautiful story. I was moved by the way she respects and loves her family-centeredness and the past. I thought it was mainly Asians, such as Koreans and Japanese, who would be like that, but after watching this video, I realized it's not true. She is truly a strong, beautiful, and admirable woman. I now understand why the United States is such a resilient and strong country, seeing the strong pioneering spirit and American essence in her. It was a truly excellent story and video. I hope love and happiness always surround her and her family.

She has an exquisite home that is so welcoming and warm and beautiful! And it doesn’t look like a museum piece.. beautifully decorated but so comfortable. I’m sure her kids live coming home and the love that you see through her , her husband and family is wonderful. No other episode or host comes close to Ruth.
