    the more i learn about Kristen Bell...the more i like her. she is a genuinely good person

    It's nice to know that just because you have a sibling that is rich and famous doesn't mean you have to mooch off of them. Kristen could have probably bought them a bigger house. It's also cool to see she is so down to earth.

    I always thought Kristen Bell was sweet. I saw it here for myself. How wonderful she was able to do this for her sis and her family. Lovely. This vid made my day. Lucy, I love your new room!

    Great job! I have to say that I welled up when she called Tom her brother. So many in-laws are treated badly by siblings and family members. I've always called my brothers' wives my sisters....we didn't have any growing up....so it's an incredible honor to have them in our lives.

    I am a senior citizen, retired, and was never an entertainment person. I have never seen a Kristen Bell movie, but have seen, via RUclips, her appearances on the Craig Ferguson show. Those appearances told me Kristen is a very "alive," outgoing person, and I think this proves she still has those Midwest roots and grounding. (I live in Ohio, but hey, I still think she's lovely and to be admired.) Way to go. Family, in the end, is always what it is about.

    I know this is a plug for Houzz and I totally can't afford to shop on their site, but I'm a huge fan of Kristen Bell and couldn't resist watching. I'm not sure who I wish I could be more: Kristen, the giver, or Sarah and her family, the receivers. Definitely got teary along with the family!

    I love simple people. The family and Kristen seems very down to earth real folks. This basement design is great and totally unexpected from the house exterior (which makes it even better imho).

  • @lisabroussardjanuska6774
    @lisabroussardjanuska6774 7 лет назад +249

    How could anyone not love this??? Made me well up too....such a sweet sister, everyone thinks because she is an actress she must do something like this for her entire family. Not every family member is demanding of their "famous" siblings. I think Kristen was very kind to help her big Sissy, by giving her Niece and Nephews such a great and very well thought out gift.
    Kudos Kristen, and good job Designer Melissa!!

  • @SuperRonnie1970
    @SuperRonnie1970 7 лет назад +11

    I love Kristen Bell and it was lovely to see that even as an A list actress etc she still is grounded by her roots and where she comes from and what she did for her sister was brilliant. You could see the love and closeness even though they live far apart and I think in this day and age it's heart warming to see families still so close ❤️

    Love, love, love this, Kristen!!! You did such a great job (and you too, Tom & Melissa!). Did I get a little teary-eyed? Why, yes, yes I did. I'm the oldest of four girls, so I totally get the love-of-sister thing. My sisters are my best friends. Good on you to spoil Sara in such a beautiful way. And, nice room, Lucy! I've worked as an interior decorator and I'm about to downsize. I'll definitely use Houzz to help with the design process. xoxo

    I just found this video today and I had to send it to my mom and sisters. We lived in Madison Heights until I was in 2nd grade. When we moved there were 7 of us in a small brick ranch that looked almost exactly like this house. How we would have loved a basement like this. Such efficient use of space and such a kind thing to do. So glad I found this and will be subscribing!!

    My favourite part is when Sarah says her daughter will think the whole basement is hers and u can come in if u have to... And then she laughs..... That was so Real. Loved her laugh and her happiness. So wonderful to see sisters loving each other. They are the real elsa and Anna 😍😘 funnily enough I didn't even think of that until I started typing lol
