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.
I’m dying over the “I’m not a professional florist, as someone commented.” 🤣💀🤣
haha 🤪 right.
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!
April, you are so talented, a genius. I would never think of such ideas. The whole house shines. It has become really beautiful
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 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…..
I like the chairs the older you are you like to sit to take off muddy boots😄
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.
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..😊
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Yes your MIL likes stuff but she has great taste
I love that this house tells their story! It’s so warm & cozy ❤️ Nicely done, April!
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!!👏🏼
Jadeite and Longaberger!!! I love your mom in law's taste.
Love what you did for your mother in laws home, warm, inviting, beautiful and tidy
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 :)
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the comment on the "Ruggables". The warping would drive me crazy. Love the makeover.
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
"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!
wow, What a huge & elegant difference ...
This kind of decorating is normal over a certain age. Before buying all at once on credit was popular, people brought from their parents furniture and then added when affordable. This is my house which includes pieces from my parents and grandparents which are better quality and some that they actually created. Thanks showing how to add to loved items.
Wow! What a difference. So pretty and calming. I love some of the touches of antiques. 💕
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!!
Love the after! Your MIL's home with all her "treasures" is exactly my vibe.
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!!?
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!
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!
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!
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 "candled" tree is a very nice focal point in the room (draws the eye upward)............
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!!
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.
What an incredible difference you have made!
Their house is so lovely.
I love artificial garlands, mainly because you can re-arrange the leaves, stems etc. until they look exactly the way you want them.
So cozy and funtional, great job.
Such a beautiful before and after! Quite a long time coming, but that’s pandemic times for sure. I love that you pared the decor down a bit but still let her be her.
Thank you so much! The results were just stunning! It feel so nice and calm in there now!
eautifully done I love how eclectic it is& how lucky she is to have & find such amazing Pieces furniture
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.
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.
Perhaps you could suggest Ruggable could provide a non slip/ trip kit with each purchase instead of it being a separate purchase!
Such a wonderful difference!! Absolutely lovely and so much calmer!!!
I would LOVE to watch her art tutorial videos!!
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 ❤
My word, doesn't Mama Jackson have exquisite taste in furniture and suchlike? Each piece is a beauty, and now they all shine and are 'seen' and it's such an elegant and comfortable - welcoming - space. If it makes any difference, I think the recliner looks fab!
I've followed this series religiously, April, and enjoyed every aspect. Most were heavy on the Doing and creative aspects which amazed. I bow to your energy, enthusiasm and talent. This one is wonderfully heavy on the Done, and I relished seeing it all come together. What a truly happy ending, Ruggable aside. Seeing everything in place...the vision realized. I admire the way you worked with your mother-in-law, in particular, to feature her loves, passions and treasures while helping make their home distinctly reflect who they both are. A showcase for her style and taste that's eminently livable...and a dedicated studio to-boot. Nothing was sacrificed, everything gained in the process. I'd give it two thumbs-up if I could. (Your folks' project as well.) Your families' faith and trust were remarkable...it's family, after all, so that's no mean feat. A testament to your skills as a professional who listens, translates, and executes. Thanks to your in-laws for allowing us in throughout. Thanks to you in particular though for taking us along on the journey, and my very best wishes as you take flight again...looking forward to your next chapters. See you when you land!
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.
The rooms look SO much better! Wonderful!
Loved watching this series
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!
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.
I think the China cabinet is the MVP for her in the living room
Enjoying your channel very much. Always look forward to your Sunday drop. Z x
OMGOSH! I love what you did with all those flowers!!!
and I too - love the "picked from the side of the road" look ... except yours look both soooo elegant and relaxed! Great touch!!
You ARE a professional!
xoxoxoxo Hugs Rachele~
When we lived in Alaska, one of the girls there would always go and pick wild flowers and then arrange them and they were the most beautiful arrangements I had ever seen!
@@SpaceMakerMethod ❤
Peaceful!
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. 🤗😘💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
You’ve done a great job 👍💪🏼 x Caroline 🇬🇧
I have seen some people fixing the curling of the edges by steam ironing them.
Target prices can be steep. I'm Marshall's, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Ross girl.
U did an absolutely amazing job 👏
Congratulations, April. What a huge transformation. Truly a beautiful makeover. I can only imagine the huge difference it's made for everyone.
WOW! Love this transformation !❤
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?
well done, if they ever decide to movie that extra bathroom will up the price!
Gorgeous!
Love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️
This house 🏡 and the make over
I think I love ❤️ the lounge and dining room the best !!!!
The laundry 🧺 is just fantastic as well
The crystal cabinet with the glass ware and crockery us absolutely beautiful 😻😻😻
Great series makeover
Love ❤️ the cottage one the best 👍👍
In the kitchen I love ❤️ the cabinets in the wood 🪵 and not painted
Any chance of you coming to australia 🇦🇺 april ????
😄😄😄
Well done 👍
Your mother in law a good 👍 sport 🎾🎾🎾
Letting you and Jackson make over her house
Just beautiful 😻
April, Even though your mother in law doesn't want you to call Ruggable, you need to call them and tell them about the puckering occurring around the edges. That shouldn't be. It would be wonderful if they would give you credit. I also think that less would look better. I'm referring to the jadeite that is on the shelf in the mudroom. I can't wait for your next video!!! You are so good at what you do.
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!
So beautiful!
Your before/after shots really highlight the power of curating one’s favourite items and displaying them with space to “breathe”. The end result is truly wonderful. Looking forward to your next adventures. ✈️
Absolutely beautiful! 💞
Stunningly beautiful! Simple but elegant!
Beautiful changes
Beautiful
Bravo, April! So beautiful!
Great job! Amazing transformations ❣️

Such a beautiful and thoughtful make over. Very respectful of her style. 💜
You did a wonderful job, the whole home now looks coherent, warm and cosy.
Looks amazing! They must love it. Wonderful transformation!
Love it all. You did an amazing job. I’m glad to know about Ruggables.
So pretty and comfortable ❤
What a transformation! It really came out beautiful. So fresh and updated. Congratulations.
Fantastic
