I'm so honored that Karen let us be part of this journey! ❤ Can't wait to make more episodes with amazing people, their spaces, and stories! What kind of makeover should I do next?
This is the first time I’m seeing one of your videos. It was so humanizing, intentional and touching, how you interacted with Karen, and honored her mom’s memory. It was all about Karen’s emotions, and not rushing her through the process. This is one of the most personal and sensitive room transformation videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you for this. You’ve gained a new subscriber.
I stopped watching DIY shows years ago because they felt unrealistic and over reaching. I gave yours a shot because I’ve loved following your journey. I found myself smiling the entire time…and crying with you both! Beautiful space and hearts.
The best part about watching your home renovations isn’t the transformation of the room itself, but the transformation in the individual and the transformation we can see in your relationship with them. I love how much you really care for people, everything is so genuine and light. I love it! I can just feel the connection you’ve made and that’s so much more than just a room transformation. We’re all feeling that connection through this episode. I love it so much!
This episode hits close to home. My grandma lived with us for 3 and a half years. She just passed away this past July. We still call her room "grandmas room". I'm not sure what else to call it. It's bare. Lonely. This gives me motivation. ❤
Wow! As someone who has also lost a parent, this episode pulled at my heart strings. Karen was so beautifully vulnerable and I hope this was healing for her. You found the most incredible ways to honor and remember her mom and those signs gave me chills. Angela, you are doing something so much bigger than DIY. You are transforming more than spaces. Its a joy to follow you.
I honestly can’t find enough words to express how beautiful, remarkable, empowering and heartfelt this episode was! Your ability to fill the space with so much loving detail is why I adore you so much!! You honored Karen and her mom in spectacular fashion and I am SO thankful you brought us along for the journey! This was a full tissue box kind of moment. 🥲 Please keep sharing your heart, patience, skills and gift with all of us! I’m a HUGE fan of DIY Together!!
Such an emotionally moving episode. I had to hold back tears throughout the entire transformation. The end result was such a beautiful way to honor her mom.
You've got Karen, and your team has you. A little of this and a little of that. So thoughtful everything. Karen's boys' little blue butterflies. May Karen and her family make so many peaceful and loving memories in her new room. ❤
I lost my mom almost 9 years ago and I cried the entire time I was watching this episode. You did an amazing job transforming her home. Absolutely beautiful. ❤
Who’s cutting onions?! Such a beautiful process and rebirth of a meaningful place for Karen and her family all while honoring her favorite person. Loved seeing it all come to fruition. Great work Karen, Angela, and crew!
From one Karen to the other wow this project really touched my heart!! I lost my Dad to cancer also 7 years ago right before Father’s Day! Definitely one of the hardest things I have ever been through but what a privilege it was to help take care of my Dad in his final days. Miss him so much. Butterflies 🦋 was a sign for me also! What a true blessing you gave to this family!! Big hugs to you Karen!! I know your Mom is so proud!!! Angela you are amazing!!! ♥️👏🏻
Oh my goodness, this is amazing!! The detail, the beauty, the love put into this!! Y’all did so wonderful with this transformation! And her reaction! Especially when she saw the sign that’s her life motto now!! This was so phenomenal, and I am so happy she has that space to be in, feel the love in, and be at peace and heal when she’s there. There are no perfect words for this! Wonderful job, everyone!! Angela, you are amazing; you and your team!! 😭🫶🏻😍🥰♥️
I love the authenticity of your series! Thank you for giving us that, this episode was so emotional love how well everything came together great way to honor her mom
This is so wholesome and beautiful, both in spirit and aesthetically. Angela, you are such an incredible soul and I love that you make it happen from building to empowering people. So many beautiful details! Love the curtain repurposed into the pillow, the butterfly drawing, and the montra sign/ quote. Congratulations on making your TV series, your way in such a unique and beautiful way!! Can’t wait to see more. 👏🏼
What a beautiful episode. How can you not love Karen, her mom and their story?!? The ending was the best her reaction, the Rise festival, and mama so beautiful 🥹
You weren’t lying when you said to have tissues ready 😭. I truly felt your heart in this episode and it was so moving. I hope you know how wonderful you are 🫶🏼
This hits close to home too! I recently lost both my grandparents and we are currently living in/remodeling their 1950s farmhouse. I sobbed at the end of this. Karen will remember this for the rest of her life. This is the most special.
Angela, I love how invested and considerate you are with Karen. You are both such special ladies and I really enjoyed watching y'all create such a beautiful and meaningful space together!!
Oh my goodness!! Pulling at my heart stings!!! I absolutely love the time you spent learning to cook w/ Karen & what you did for her in all the details of the makeover. Isn’t getting to know people who have followed you forever, such a reward? This is pretty incredible hun! I love it
I came across this video and I must say this has been the best DIY I have seen. Renovating a room or a garden is very therapeutic especially after someone whom you love passes. This video was more than a renovation but a way to empower her after such a big loss in her life. Angela, I really think you have a special gift of touching and healing peoples hearts through your DIYs. I am a new subscriber and fan.
This was so refreshing. Nothing over stated, nothing out of reach and no prima donna host. And the room turned out perfectly. And the ending...oh my how beautiful.
Thank you BOTH, for this. This was so beautiful, real, and raw. The reactions. The troubleshooting. Everything. It’s truly inspired me to realize I CAN do hard things. THANK YOU❤
Karen is so special! You were so generous with her in so many ways. I loved this episode so much. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This platform is my favorite place to watch home shows/DIY. They are so much more authentic here. Now we need to get Karen her own cooking show. “A little bit of this. A little bit of that” ❤
I’m so happy to see you DIY your own show that is real. You not only share your DIY knowledge but yourself with others, which is the biggest gift anyone can give. All the other TV shows who passed on you missed out. This is for the better. It’s so YOU. And go Karen!!!
What an emotional DIY video I have ever seen. I love how Karen slowly became stronger towards the end. My favorite part was how her mom's curtain was transformed into a pillow and her quote saying in the beginning. It really gave me motivation ❤
the lantern part made me cry... your show is exactly what you envisioned and it's good TV. Thank you for going out on a limb and creating for yourself what no one else believed in. WE believe in it :)
This was absolutely beautiful! You can feel and see her healing every inch of the way. Such a beautiful gift you gave her. Your aura is definitely felt. And her mom at the end! My heart just bursted!
This was so heartwarming to watch. You became a friend that she needed to help her feel empowered and that she wasn’t leaving her mom behind, inside where her mom will always be, she was encouraging her to keep growing and moving forward in her life and her family ❤️
Angela!!!! I have goosebumps. Thank you Karen for sharing your story. I pray this space feels like a warm hug from your mom every time you walk in that door. Never stop looking for those signs. She’ll ALWAYS be with you!!!
A loving hug! Yes, I would describe it like that perfectly. Even the pillow so intentional, your Mom was with you the entire time Karen. That was my first thought too, a pillow, that she can hug. Great styling, well done ladies! Well done team!!!
Tissue please!! What a beautiful episode not only you helped her to transform the room but also help her to heal and see the room different and honor her mom . Well done Angela
This bedroom makeover was so nice. The room was beautifully transformed and also it brought healing and peace to her. I loved everything about this room. Great job
Crying my eyes out! They won’t stop! I lost my mom to cancer 15 years ago and this was healing for me too! I only found your account a few years ago but you’ve lift up my days ever since! 💜💜
Oh Angela, you are so coming into your own. You are amazing at this and I think you have found your calling! It has been such a joy following your journey for the last few years. Inspiring for sure! You took something that was painful for Karen and turned it into beauty she can be proud of. I am sure it was cathartic and healing for her but also part of your healing journey as well. I love that the suncatchers have become your signature.
Such a beautiful transformation ❤ I lost my mum when I was 19 (44 now) and I could feel Karens pain 😢 Loved how Angela cooked and danced with Karen and incorporated so many personal details. Really special ❤
Beautiful, the room, your sensitivity to what she needed, the details, un chin de esto… and what a finale! The lantern scenes brought tears to my eyes! Awesome, Ange! ❤👏
Wow, what a magical moment finishing with the RISE festival. Lighting those lanterns and letting them go was absolutely amazing and beautiful. What a completely MAGICAL moment 💖
I love seeing how the two of you invested in getting to know each other. This has all the feels and so genuine. The room is beautiful! This was one of the best things I have watched in so long and truly felt like a network quality show. Congratulations to you and Karen. ❤
This video came up on my recommendations, and I had never watched your channel before (hitting the subscribe button right after this comment). I lost my mom two months ago. I feel like watching Karen’s journey through this process was a little bit healing for me too. Food was my mom’s love language, and it was so beautiful to see that relationship in this video as well❤
Such an emotional episode. I love all the different beautiful ways in which you chose to honor her mom. My favorite sentimental touch was the art with the saying her mom would use.
This DIY together made me cry and touched me deep down, how amazing the love and care that you and your team w/ Karen and her family did over a week. I could feel the heartfelt love and healing !!!
It’s not easy losing a loved one. I lost my mom about 7 years ago and lost my dad on Christmas this year it will be two years and then lost my sister this passed February. Wow love this everything was so real you can feel it. Well done Angela and Karen and all involved behind the scenes. So looking forward to the next one. Before my mom passed she said she would come back as a butterfly and at her funeral we released real butterflies.
Crying.... 😭. This was so wholesome and real.Karen is the sweetest❤. I also love that you show the hardships of DIYing but also show not to give up and to keep trying. All the emotions during this episode.
Wow. The butterfly 🦋 factor...I found cards we never opened from last christmas...opened them now... had a sticker that said be happy...found poems about being gone to heaven I know she d want passed on...such a heartwarming video and story
You have a gift Angela. Please continue to share it with the world. Your designs and the way you connect and can see her vision for the space. And then level it up. Amazing. Great episode. ❤
You are truly an inspiration, Angela! What an amazing transformation with such beauty, detail and meaning. An absolute gift to Karen and her family. You are a very special human. Thank you for sharing her story and your journey together! ❤💪🏻
How do you make everything so beautiful? 😍 You're an inspiration! I've watched you for years on your instagram and learned so much from you. I have no words to describe my admiration for your unbelievable talent and visions you have creating those breathtaking creations; you are truly a visionary person. I think your ability to not only do the things you do, but the care in which you take to do them is unequaled by anyone else I've ever seen. You are so detailed oriented with your explanations and how you perform your work making it look so easy for us. Thank you for taking time to share your work and progress with us. 💯❤️
All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!! Your a caring, wonderful person. Her and her mom had a beautiful relationship and you and the crew gave her a BEAUTIFUL LOG CABIN GARAGE!!!
This was absolutely beautiful 🥺 so heartwarming from start to finish. What a blessing to be able to transform that space to honor her mother. You truly have a gift Angela 🤍🫶🏼
This room is so beautiful and I know has a very special meaning to Karen. Angela, you are such a natural in front of the camera and do a great job all the way around. This episode held my attention from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next one!!!
I couldn’t wait for this to come out!!! I used to think that setbacks and frustrations in home Reno shows were sort of fabricated… thanks for showing us it’s raw and real! The space is beautiful.
Bawling in my bed at 11:53am😭 I love how sweet and special this Reno was for Karen. So touching to see her purpose and how much this meant to her. I lost it when I saw the pillow made from the curtains❤ you did amazing Angela and Karen❤
The video at the end of her mom made me bawl like a baby! I’m so grateful for my mom and for the grandma she is to my children. This makes me want to record more videos and take more pictures of my mom while I still can.
I loved this Angela. It wasn’t just a makeover it was an experience. You do it with so much respect and love. You are a warm lovely person and I’m so glad I started following you all those years ago. It’s not about the DIY for me. 🥰 You chose so well with Karen who blossomed on this project. Well done to all of you and that ending was amazing 😊
I’m in tears watching this bcuz it resonates with me so much. I was a caregiver for my dad for 4 out of the 8 years that he battled cancer. He lived with me and after he passed away I couldn’t stay in the house bcuz it was so heavy begging in that space, although I originally loved it. I think it would’ve been different if I’d had something like this. I’m happy that she was able to get a healing space like this for herself and her family.
So Beautiful! I love how compassionate you are and deeply care for others. I love how you built a relationship with Karen as well as built a space with her that will bring her joy and peace. And with so much thoughtfulness. So good!! Can’t wait for your 3rd episode.💛
I am absolutely loving this series. I could not hold back the tears! Your design is beautiful and your heart to help others feel empowered is astounding. Please keep doing what you are doing. This is so much better than big network diy shows! ❤
I absolutely LOVED this episode. The fact that you incorporated her Mom into the design was so beautiful. The Rise Festival was the perfect way to celebrate her Mom and the DIY Together team. ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning! The room is like out of a catalog! And the personal touches wow! Just so beautiful! Who would’ve thought that was a garage! Such a safe warm and comforting haven! 🥹❤️
AR, no matter the project, you always bring so much creativity and light. We see ya! You are "BEAM"ing with light. And now a Little bit of this and little bit that. ~ Well done Angela, Karen and Juana...Juan Knee Ta!💖
Wow, Angela Rose, why has a network not picked you and your crew up? You should be on Primetime TV. I just suddenly lost my two horses of 20 years, and cleaning out my barn is beyond comprehensible right now - this episode hit close to home on how hard it is to move forward with so many memories. You do fantastic work, thank you for sharing
What a moving experience to watch this creation. I love how genuine this episode is and full of simple truths and realizations. I feel like I was in the ride with you both emotionally and with triumph. The rise festival at the end and dedication to Karen’s mom warmed my heart. Bravo to you all and long live DIY Together!!!
Thanks for such a tender DIY video, while watching, it made me reminisce the warmth of West Coast having lived there for 9 years. Now that I'm here in Midwest, I will carry those little things in my Midwest cottage to always remind me of the vibe there. Keep it up Angela Rose and team! 🌹
Wow, just wow! What a BEAUTIFUL episode and such a beautiful space! Karen seems like the sweetest person and I loved watching the both of you interact together. I feel like a lot of growth happened for both Karen AND you, Angela. Loved! ❤
I'm so honored that Karen let us be part of this journey! ❤ Can't wait to make more episodes with amazing people, their spaces, and stories! What kind of makeover should I do next?
Come to the Midwest and help me out! 😊 Master bedroom, kitchen, or family room!
A kitchen makeover or maybe a cute room for a kiddo? Whatever is next, I'm SOO here for it!! 🥰
I want to see you do a closet makeover! 🥰🥰🥰
Toddler room 💓
Such a beautiful episode. ❤❤❤

Very well said. Same!
I wish for a visit 🤫
Love how real this is. Not an overly styled house with an over the top budget... just a real space with real people and reap challenges.
The quality of this surpasses TV quality!!!! I loved the transformation especially the emotions it brings!!! You’re a wonderful person Angela!!!
I stopped watching DIY shows years ago because they felt unrealistic and over reaching. I gave yours a shot because I’ve loved following your journey. I found myself smiling the entire time…and crying with you both! Beautiful space and hearts.

Who’s cutting onions?!
Such a beautiful process and rebirth of a meaningful place for Karen and her family all while honoring her favorite person. Loved seeing it all come to fruition. Great work Karen, Angela, and crew!
Karen & Angela cut the onions (for the soup)! 😉😂
But seriously I'm with you. The onions were burning my eyes too these last 40 minutes. 🥲
From one Karen to the other wow this project really touched my heart!! I lost my Dad to cancer also 7 years ago right before Father’s Day! Definitely one of the hardest things I have ever been through but what a privilege it was to help take care of my Dad in his final days. Miss him so much. Butterflies 🦋 was a sign for me also!

This is so much more than a DIY makeover, I’ve never had to hold back tears so bad. What a heart warming, heartfelt story ❤
This episode is everything. I’m not crying you’re crying 😂ohh man. This is a beautiful transformation. All the feels in this video. Rip to her mama.
Oh my goodness, this is amazing!! The detail, the beauty, the love put into this!! Y’all did so wonderful with this transformation! And her reaction! Especially when she saw the sign that’s her life motto now!! This was so phenomenal, and I am so happy she has that space to be in, feel the love in, and be at peace and heal when she’s there.

Angela and Karen,
You ladies knocked this out the park! 🎉 Mom would be so proud! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the authenticity of your series! Thank you for giving us that, this episode was so emotional love how well everything came together great way to honor her mom
Beautiful! I had tears by the the Rise Festival. Outstanding that Karen was blessed with an inner peace brought by working in her mama's room.
This is so wholesome and beautiful, both in spirit and aesthetically. Angela, you are such an incredible soul and I love that you make it happen from building to empowering people. So many beautiful details! Love the curtain repurposed into the pillow, the butterfly drawing, and the montra sign/ quote. Congratulations on making your TV series, your way in such a unique and beautiful way!! Can’t wait to see more. 👏🏼
What a wonderful gift. You honored her mothers memory and helped her healing by creating a sanctuary for her.
What a beautiful episode. How can you not love Karen, her mom and their story?!? The ending was the best her reaction, the Rise festival, and mama so beautiful 🥹
You weren’t lying when you said to have tissues ready 😭. I truly felt your heart in this episode and it was so moving. I hope you know how wonderful you are 🫶🏼
This is the best! Mom's house will always be Mom's house no matter who lives there. Love this episode. Thanks Angela.
This hits close to home too! I recently lost both my grandparents and we are currently living in/remodeling their 1950s farmhouse. I sobbed at the end of this. Karen will remember this for the rest of her life. This is the most special.
Angela, I love how invested and considerate you are with Karen. You are both such special ladies and I really enjoyed watching y'all create such a beautiful and meaningful space together!!
Oh my goodness!! Pulling at my heart stings!!! I absolutely love the time you spent learning to cook w/ Karen & what you did for her in all the details of the makeover. Isn’t getting to know people who have followed you forever, such a reward? This is pretty incredible hun! I love it
I came across this video and I must say this has been the best DIY I have seen. Renovating a room or a garden is very therapeutic especially after someone whom you love passes.

Such a beautiful transformation, and tribute to her mama ❤
This was so refreshing. Nothing over stated, nothing out of reach and no prima donna host. And the room turned out perfectly. And the ending...oh my how beautiful.
Thank you BOTH, for this. This was so beautiful, real, and raw. The reactions. The troubleshooting. Everything. It’s truly inspired me to realize I CAN do hard things. THANK YOU❤
Karen is so special! You were so generous with her in so many ways. I loved this episode so much. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This platform is my favorite place to watch home shows/DIY. They are so much more authentic here. Now we need to get Karen her own cooking show. “A little bit of this. A little bit of that” ❤

Anyone else cry a bunch? What a beautiful gift of healing and fresh starts. 🥰
I love it when women can teach other women the skills they need in life to reach their dreams and be successful! ❤ Great work!
Thank you for the positive content, emotional rawness, and blunt honesty. This is what the world needs. You, Angela and Karen!
What an emotional DIY video I have ever seen. I love how Karen slowly became stronger towards the end. My favorite part was how her mom's curtain was transformed into a pillow and her quote saying in the beginning. It really gave me motivation ❤
the lantern part made me cry... your show is exactly what you envisioned and it's good TV. Thank you for going out on a limb and creating for yourself what no one else believed in. WE believe in it :)
Omg this was so beautifully emotional. What a perfect end! You can feel how beautiful and thoughtful a person you are, Angela!
This was absolutely beautiful! You can feel and see her healing every inch of the way. Such a beautiful gift you gave her. Your aura is definitely felt.
And her mom at the end! My heart just bursted!
OMG! Angela when you said "trust the magic of new beginnings" you meant it!
You are incredible and this makeover is truly MAGIC
This was so heartwarming to watch. You became a friend that she needed to help her feel empowered and that she wasn’t leaving her mom behind, inside where her mom will always be, she was encouraging her to keep growing and moving forward in her life and her family ❤️
I love that Karen had her boys help paint, they looked so proud.
Angela!!!! I have goosebumps. Thank you Karen for sharing your story. I pray this space feels like a warm hug from your mom every time you walk in that door. Never stop looking for those signs. She’ll ALWAYS be with you!!!
🦋
I’m not crying, you’re crying. So many feels. I could have watched a full hour of this. I want to meet both you and Karen IRL.
A loving hug! Yes, I would describe it like that perfectly. Even the pillow so intentional, your Mom was with you the entire time Karen. That was my first thought too, a pillow, that she can hug. Great styling, well done ladies! Well done team!!!
Tissue please!! What a beautiful episode not only you helped her to transform the room but also help her to heal and see the room different and honor her mom . Well done Angela
This bedroom makeover was so nice. The room was beautifully transformed and also it brought healing and peace to her. I loved everything about this room. Great job
The quality of this episode is better than anything I’ve seen on HGTV. Well done Angela, you really have so many gifts, thank you for sharing them!
Crying my eyes out! They won’t stop! I lost my mom to cancer 15 years ago and this was healing for me too! I only found your account a few years ago but you’ve lift up my days ever since! 💜💜
Oh Angela, you are so coming into your own. You are amazing at this and I think you have found your calling! It has been such a joy following your journey for the last few years. Inspiring for sure! You took something that was painful for Karen and turned it into beauty she can be proud of. I am sure it was cathartic and healing for her but also part of your healing journey as well. I love that the suncatchers have become your signature.
Such a beautiful transformation ❤ I lost my mum when I was 19 (44 now) and I could feel Karens pain 😢 Loved how Angela cooked and danced with Karen and incorporated so many personal details. Really special ❤
OMG, her mom at the end! What a blessing
Beautiful, the room, your sensitivity to what she needed, the details, un chin de esto… and what a finale! The lantern scenes brought tears to my eyes! Awesome, Ange! ❤👏
Wow, what a magical moment finishing with the RISE festival. Lighting those lanterns and letting them go was absolutely amazing and beautiful. What a completely MAGICAL moment 💖
I love how you used affordable methods and supplies to turn this space into something Karen loved.
Girl, I don't know how you don't have a show on HGTV. All of your content is so real and amazing! Bravo!
That ending 🥲🥹 oh wow. Such a powerful thing you’ve created 🥹
This is a reminder that sometimes its ok to make changes. Its not to forget someone but to heal the pain of the loss.
I loved you two cooking together and then seeing the quote in the reveal- that was my favorite part. Such a beautiful transformation in so many ways!
I love seeing how the two of you invested in getting to know each other. This has all the feels and so genuine. The room is beautiful! This was one of the best things I have watched in so long and truly felt like a network quality show. Congratulations to you and Karen. ❤
The room turned out beautifully! The journey, your friendship, it's all so beautiful. RIP Karen's mom❤

Such an emotional episode. I love all the different beautiful ways in which you chose to honor her mom. My favorite sentimental touch was the art with the saying her mom would use.
Love these happy endings, watching her healing journey, how your own journey is now helping to bring healing to others.
This DIY together made me cry and touched me deep down, how amazing the love and care that you and your team w/ Karen and her family did over a week. I could feel the heartfelt love and healing !!!
It’s not easy losing a loved one. I lost my mom about 7 years ago and lost my dad on Christmas this year it will be two years and then lost my sister this passed February.
Wow love this everything was so real you can feel it. Well done Angela and Karen and all involved behind the scenes. So looking forward to the next one.
Before my mom passed she said she would come back as a butterfly and at her funeral we released real butterflies.
This episode is truly magical! I love these please don’t ever stop! You can feel your love behind all this!
Crying.... 😭. This was so wholesome and real.Karen is the sweetest❤. I also love that you show the hardships of DIYing but also show not to give up and to keep trying. All the emotions during this episode.
I noticed alot of birds when my mom was passing... I ll keep looking for beautiful memories and legacies...tears in my eyes....beautiful
Wow. The butterfly 🦋 factor...I found cards we never opened from last christmas...opened them now... had a sticker that said be happy...found poems about being gone to heaven I know she d want passed on...such a heartwarming video and story
You have a gift Angela. Please continue to share it with the world. Your designs and the way you connect and can see her vision for the space. And then level it up. Amazing. Great episode. ❤
You are truly an inspiration, Angela! What an amazing transformation with such beauty, detail and meaning. An absolute gift to Karen and her family. You are a very special human. Thank you for sharing her story and your journey together! ❤💪🏻
How do you make everything so beautiful? 😍 You're an inspiration! I've watched you for years on your instagram and learned so much from you. I have no words to describe my admiration for your unbelievable talent and visions you have creating those breathtaking creations; you are truly a visionary person. I think your ability to not only do the things you do, but the care in which you take to do them is unequaled by anyone else I've ever seen. You are so detailed oriented with your explanations and how you perform your work making it look so easy for us. Thank you for taking time to share your work and progress with us. 💯❤️
All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!! Your a caring, wonderful person. Her and her mom had a beautiful relationship and you and the crew gave her a BEAUTIFUL LOG CABIN GARAGE!!!
This was absolutely beautiful 🥺 so heartwarming from start to finish. What a blessing to be able to transform that space to honor her mother. You truly have a gift Angela 🤍🫶🏼
Fabulous work. This is better than any HGTV show. Thank you for creating a real show with real emotion and creativity.
This room is so beautiful and I know has a very special meaning to Karen.
Angela, you are such a natural in front of the camera and do a great job all the way around. This episode held my attention from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next one!!!
I couldn’t wait for this to come out!!! I used to think that setbacks and frustrations in home Reno shows were sort of fabricated… thanks for showing us it’s raw and real! The space is beautiful.
It’s so beautiful how you can be so happy for a total stranger on the internet! I love this!
Bawling in my bed at 11:53am😭 I love how sweet and special this Reno was for Karen. So touching to see her purpose and how much this meant to her. I lost it when I saw the pillow made from the curtains❤ you did amazing Angela and Karen❤
The video at the end of her mom made me bawl like a baby! I’m so grateful for my mom and for the grandma she is to my children. This makes me want to record more videos and take more pictures of my mom while I still can.
I loved this Angela. It wasn’t just a makeover it was an experience. You do it with so much respect and love. You are a warm lovely person and I’m so glad I started following you all those years ago. It’s not about the DIY for me. 🥰
You chose so well with Karen who blossomed on this project. Well done to all of you and that ending was amazing 😊
This lovely woman was also transformed along with her home - like a butterfly she kept getting more and more beautiful❤️
I’m in tears watching this bcuz it resonates with me so much. I was a caregiver for my dad for 4 out of the 8 years that he battled cancer. He lived with me and after he passed away I couldn’t stay in the house bcuz it was so heavy begging in that space, although I originally loved it. I think it would’ve been different if I’d had something like this. I’m happy that she was able to get a healing space like this for herself and her family.
😢 The Rasie was so beautful.and her room.just so peaceful.and fill with love.
Best DIY show to date! Angela you have a gift in crafting and caring for people. It’s a joy to watch you transform Karen’s Life and help her heal. 💕
YOU are such a light to our dim world! You and Karen NAILED this! Absolutely beautiful! Such a beautiful, emotional episode. 🥹🤍
So Beautiful! I love how compassionate you are and deeply care for others. I love how you built a relationship with Karen as well as built a space with her that will bring her joy and peace. And with so much thoughtfulness. So good!! Can’t wait for your 3rd episode.💛
I am absolutely loving this series. I could not hold back the tears! Your design is beautiful and your heart to help others feel empowered is astounding. Please keep doing what you are doing. This is so much better than big network diy shows! ❤
Oh man, what a wonderful keepsake this video will be for Karen. Everything is just beautiful!
This is so beautiful! So many sweet moments! What an honor to get a glimpse of Karen and her beautiful family.
I absolutely LOVED this episode. The fact that you incorporated her Mom into the design was so beautiful. The Rise Festival was the perfect way to celebrate her Mom and the DIY Together team. ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning! The room is like out of a catalog! And the personal touches wow! Just so beautiful! Who would’ve thought that was a garage! Such a safe warm and comforting haven! 🥹❤️
AR, no matter the project, you always bring so much creativity and light. We see ya! You are "BEAM"ing with light. And now a Little bit of this and little bit that. ~ Well done Angela, Karen and Juana...Juan Knee Ta!💖
Wow, Angela Rose, why has a network not picked you and your crew up? You should be on Primetime TV. I just suddenly lost my two horses of 20 years, and cleaning out my barn is beyond comprehensible right now - this episode hit close to home on how hard it is to move forward with so many memories. You do fantastic work, thank you for sharing
That sounds so hard! I’m so sorry you have to go through that. Sending you love and courage! ❤️❤️❤️
What a moving experience to watch this creation. I love how genuine this episode is and full of simple truths and realizations. I feel like I was in the ride with you both emotionally and with triumph. The rise festival at the end and dedication to Karen’s mom warmed my heart. Bravo to you all and long live DIY Together!!!
Oh and Angela your chin hold of the the hanging peg was my favorite!!!
Thanks for such a tender DIY video, while watching, it made me reminisce the warmth of West Coast having lived there for 9 years. Now that I'm here in Midwest, I will carry those little things in my Midwest cottage to always remind me of the vibe there. Keep it up Angela Rose and team! 🌹
Wow, just wow! What a BEAUTIFUL episode and such a beautiful space! Karen seems like the sweetest person and I loved watching the both of you interact together. I feel like a lot of growth happened for both Karen AND you, Angela. Loved! ❤
