HOUSE TOUR I A Pennsylvania Farm with Rolling Hills and a Historic Home 

This woman gave up her career as a prosecutor to stay home and raise our 5 children. I am so blessed to have married such an amazing woman! She truly makes me Hungry for Home everyday!!!!!

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.

I see a lot of folks in the comments saying she is quite remarkable, but I absolutely loved how she praised her husband so beautifully. He obviously has a deep love and commitment to her to do so many projects! Wow! Full time job and non stop home improvements! And 5 kids!!!!!! Where are the other men capable of this! What a beautiful loving family. Home is where the heart is!

Modern builds just can't compete with the unique beauty of a period house

What a remarkable woman who is really interesting , I saw her as someone who is so authentic and has a strong sense of family ,I loved how she ended her tour by saying my hope is that I’ve created a home where people can be imperfect and feel safe.. loved that.

The lady is SO articulate, creative, elegant, genuine, affectionate, appreciative, and humble. She really deserves the place. Thank you for sharing this amazing home and the lady of the house. ❤

This lady just beams with love for her family. It's clear how much she loves her husband because she speaks of him so much. I love her warmth, and yes, they do have a beautiful home.

She’s wonderful. This is not only a story about her house, but about her husband and family. Pretty apparent she married the right person. How amazing is that!

I have been retired six years now.... this is by far the best home and property I have ever seen. Her style, their vision and the surroundings are like out of a dream. This is a home. 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 .

" To create a safe space to not be perfect. " We all deserve to feel safe in our own home. What a lovely woman and an absolutely gorgeous home .

Omg....I am totally awestrucked by this woman and her home she is a classy lady!

This is incredible - please, more homes like this - THESE are the types of homes that inspire!!!!

This has always been my dream property, to have an old home with ‘nooks and crannies’’, all that land, a big barn, ruins,guest cottages, and a cutting garden. I’m too old now to realize that dream, and we have no family. How wonderful for Ruth and her husband and family to be loving caretakers of this paradise they’ve created. This is the family that SHOULD be in the home. Its perfect! Ruth and her husband clearly love each other and must be good friends who respect one another. May they enjoy many,many years of continued joy.

This is one of my favorite videos, and not just because the story of the home is amazing, but I truly loved listening to Ruth tell her story. She's down-to-earth, well-spoken, and a great storyteller. You can tell she loves her husband, her children, and her home deeply. This is so refreshing.

This lady needs her own youtube channel. I have six kids and I would love to learn from her about making a home beautiful and welcoming with littles.

When she bolted the door with that wood “lock”, I was instantly taken back to when I was 12 and spent time on my great-grandparents little farm in Alabama, that is exactly how they locked their door. I can still, at 61, remember every room in that house.

Her love for her husband and family is palpable--so genuine. That loves flows throughout the beauty of their home and the amazing landscape. ...a joy to watch.

Never have I been so profoundly moved by a home tour and by its host being such a beautiful human. What she has created is heaven on earth: a haven of family, food, love, creativity, such joie de vivre and gratitude for life. She has made an exquisite life for herself and all who know her. I admire her so much and will definitely get her book -- as someone who is Hungry for Home ❤

The way she talks about her husband & family is so refreshing

What a kind, wonderful lady. Her house speaks so loudly for her family. It’s a home through and through and gorgeous at that.

This has probably been my favorite tour so far. What an incredible woman, story and home! I think what made this tour so special was her storytelling. At one point, I got choked up when she said she prayed about what was next and her book was revealed. Thank you for introducing us to her and I’m on my way to support her and her family by buying her book.

I never thought I could be moved to tears by a home tour. This family has built a HOME in the true definition of the word. What a beautiful, precious place! Absolutely a sanctuary of love.

Out of all the episodes I have enjoyed from Homeworthy, this is the one person I would love to know and visit her home. She hits to the heart about what a home should be -- not just beautiful fabrics and elegant furniture or antiques, but making a home meaningful and about family and connection. I love artwork that speaks of family and the people who are part of it. Her heart of understanding that no one is perfect and all are welcome so that we can bless and love them well while they are in our care is so needed in the world we live in today. This is what all homes should strive to be, and I am inspired by not only her aesthetic, but her heart of giving and grace.

This home made me feel love and family.

This woman is so beautiful on the inside. I love how she speaks so highly and lovingly of her husband, children and friends. She has create a home with love. How precious. Indeed this was more than a house tour.

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 loved this video. She spoke of the Lord. How precious ! Her home is beautiful!

I happen to live about a 15-minute drive away from Berwyn in Ardmore. I can attest that Berwyn in general is beautiful, but this property is just stunning. I understand why she is so proud of her husband.

Oh. Wow. this is my favorite. The stories, the back history... .. I mean... This is a home.

That house is everything you would want a home to be and what a beautiful woman and family story.

Glad she spoke about how one career cannot replace creativity, flexibility, & family.

This woman decides what she wants out of life and what means the most to her and goes for it, and surrounds herself and her family and friends with it. So admirable!

This story made me wish I still had a family. Glad they were willing & able to rescue this unique property. The Paris art piece she saved is simply great!

You can instantly tell she is down to earth. I love that she decorates with items that have sentimental value. Great episode!

This Ladys whole persona is off the chart. Integrity. Substance. Composure. Passion. Importance of family. The tiniest details. It’s like she does this for a living. Complete absence of bullshit. The herb patch, everything. Excellently well presented. Well done.

This has got to be my favorite homeworthy episode! I LOVED her last statement about creating as safe place to be imperfect. Wow!

I like how this lovely woman has filled her home with things that have a personal meaning or memory to her and how she really appreciates the character and history of the house.

Wow! What a woman...what a family...what a home! People who live as these folks live and have done what they've done restore one's faith in humanity. They serve as a beautiful example of what it means to make the world a better place. I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I've been elevated and inspired by the wonderful Ruth McKeaney.

As a married mother of 3 boys, I can appreciate this womens strong sense of family stories and traditions. The fact that she finds ways to create a home that supplies her and her family with joy is a blessing to see. This was so enjoyable to watch! God bless.

This is the kind of thing that feeds my soul. Being able to stroll through someone’s home and sit with them and hear the story of their home and family….I just cannot get enough. What a beautiful home. What a beautiful lady. What a beautiful story. ❤

This is the best episode. Her love for Thy Almigthy Father and for her family is a blessing to be watched and inspired by. God bless her and her family.

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....🙏)

This is such a peaceful tour. I pray God's continual blessings upon this lady, her husband, and their family. 🙏🏽

Next week my husband & I are moving to a farm in Pennsylvania. 500’ of Lake Erie frontage. We can’t wait to bring the home of the original Archer Farms back to life. To honor a home’s history is to honor the present time. Creating a safe space is what home is all about. I am going to buy her book!

My favorite Homeworthy so far🥰

This house/property was meant to be owned by them. Such a blessing ❤️

Wow, I have never heard a women speak so beautiful about her family and especially her husband, truthfully and I’m 75 years old. And my name is also Ruth 👍🥰❤️

I JUST LOVE Ruth and her beautiful home and property. May God bless your family for generations.

"... a safe place to not be perfect." Clearly Ruth understands what makes a home. Great home. Great story. Thank you.

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 looks amazing for having 5 children wow beautiful home congratulations to her and her husband 👏🏾

"My heart has been to build a place where it's safe to not be perfect ." What an ethos, perspective, sensibility - and one pretty palpable when you meet Ruth, and are taken through her home and property. A vibrant and loving life. Much thanks.

I would basically live in her backyard. Her home is very cozy and beautiful, filled with love. AND I LOVED the barn, herb garden, rose garden, chicken coup, scenery. Just wonderful.

Incredible and all the imperfections make this a perfect home! Imperfections are the beauty marks of life!

This is one of the best of these I have seen. I like the real people, not just rich designers.

She is the best host and story teller ever. A wonderful visit to a lovely home.

This house is absolutely gorgeous, this shows how much you don’t need a so called decorated. This lady is way better at decorating than any of the decorator houses that I’ve seen on your show so far

i am sooooo happy to find a home tour channel that actually lets the owners talk and tell their story. such a more enriching way to watch.

Wow she is just incredible, her house is amazing . I love how she talks about her husband, she is a blessing to her family. I got teary eyed a few times listening to her talk.

Heartwarming sorry…Cherishing family and history.

Love the house, love this lady's personality and style, love all the artwork and details which show this is really a labour of love. This is a 'Home". This is the kind of house that I want to live in, not those glossy that are over-decorated.

I am not really a farm house person but this is authentic and lovely! I respect that they kept the original integrity of the home in the renovations. And how touching with the framed song her mother wrote to her. Truly personal like a home should be!

As a fellow self-harmer, I was delighted to hear you have a cutting garden too, which is so progressive. Love to you, Bob and the family.

The barn with its table seating 32 and its wooly bench warmers is fantasyland for me.

Homeworthy best video ever. No words..perfection in imperfection.

Ruth, you are a beautiful woman inside and out. Your home and property are absolutely gorgeous! The stories behind so many of your treasures are priceless. What comes through the most is your love of God, family, friends and neighbors and making your home a welcoming place and a safe haven for them. That is a gift which God has give you. Be blessed.

I too love this episode. I think I love this home because it seems to have developed so organically, it feels real and not too designer-precious. This type of home and decor is within my reach, is relatable, unlike some of the homes featured. I love the stone ruins.

That's how I bake chocolate chip cookies too barely baked 11 minutes 🥰very homey love your lifestyle

I have watched every HW house tour and this by far has been my favourite. Not just because the home was so beautiful but the hostess-Ruth was so warm and charming to watch. Give that woman her own show. Thank you for the introduction to Ruth. Ordering my book right away!

This, i think, is what can happen when you find the right partner for each other. You reach your full potential, you create a world and a life for each other that you love, and you give more to others. Thank you for this. Such an inspiration.

This EXCEPTIONAL woman... and her home... captivated me beyond words. She should have her own show, this being Episode 1... I’m incredibly inspired... and in awe!!!

THAT LADY IS FANTASTIC, LOVE HOW SHE SPOKE OF HER HUSBAND AND ALL THE STORIES. HER HOUSE IS A DREAM, LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT👏🏻♥️♥️

You can really feel that this house is filled with love and beautiful memories. This could be a family in a movie. I would only buy her cookbook to know the recipe of the cookies.

Your home is just beautiful. I live nearby in Pottstown. I have spent 37 years trying to make my 44-year-old home look like yours. I am just drown to that Era.

What a beautiful homestead you have! I believe it is your attitude and love of life that has made it the incredible place it is. Even though I don’t know you, I felt like a welcome guest in your home throughout this tour. We need more people like you in this world who are filled with positivity and who shine a grateful and graceful beacon of light for all to see. Thank you for sharing your amazing, love-filled home.

I don’t know why I feel so welcome to this beautiful house! She is so nice! Love the house! My style! ❤

This is one of my favorite Homeworthy videos. My family dairy farm was in the Tunkhannock area and this brought back memories. I now live in SC, but I love the historic stone houses in Eastern PA. At my age, there's not much family left, but this took me right back to being a kid on the farm. I know I'll be watching this more than once.

She had me within the first 2 minutes when she shared the sculpture of the kids. Wow!

How absolutely beautiful and welcoming. Thanks for sharing. God’s grace and blessings to you and your family.

such a beautiful soul. every corner of her house shows her love to her family and people

Magnificent labor of love. And she was a joy to watch. She is whimsical yet down-to-earth; charming and real. This is truly a dream home, the type of home you see for sale on a website like “Old House Dreams” but you know to restore and remodel it as well as she and her husband have would take a fortune and a lifetime. It’s my dream home but mine would be on a much smaller scale. A lot of labor, great interior decorating, and I’m sure love have gone into this masterpiece and I’m grateful she has shared it with us. Great choice for an episode Homeworthy!!!

I just found Homeworthy and this is the first episode I watched. Oh my, how does one woman become so profound and gracious and talented and incredible to share what she and her husband have created!! God bless them! And I ordered her book, like I need another book but wanted that one. Watched this twice so far and will again!

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.

I just adore that quote - "A safe place not to be perfect in" Thank you for that - I feel in my heart that is the truest definition of Home!! Your home is Incredible - indoor & outdoor space - just WOW!! ♥

As a native Pennsylvanian, I love the colonial homes here. Many think New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire are the stars. But honestly, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have a lot to give. Just like this incredible video ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤

“A safe place to not be perfect “ …… and a perfect place to be safe and happy. Loved this interview and the home so much!

This was such a blessed episode. It really warmed my heart. I'm so inspired by her story of family and love. The home and farm are amazing

Love the authenticity of this lady and the history of this home. Her husband is exactly the same as mine. That kitchen looks like a real kitchen. A kitchen that is actually used not just for decoration. Loved this episode.

I like a lot of homes I see in person or online like this channel. Your home represents everything I love, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. It and you are magnificent. Thank you for sharing!

Family & friends makes "Home Sweet Home." She & her husband's proved it. This is magnificent stories of her journey to build this home from scratch. God Bless.🙏

What a wonderful “Homeworthy” and even lovelier host! We need more of her genuine positivity in the world! LOVE! 💕

How incredibly interesting was THAT?!?!?!?!?

More than the home, I love the LOVE that this family shared. How the husband continues to honour her and their family through building this home.

My favorite tour by far, not just for the property but the meaning and values embedded within. She has such a great energy!

My favorite to date ! A woman, a man , a family evolving, adapting , creating beauty and joy in a world full of mixed metaphors and simulacra. Noble !

Love the story of your mom, and the songs she wrote for your family, what a treasure🥰

What an amazing property that's truly loved by the family that owns the home and the many acres of beautiful grounds. Sending many more years of happiness.

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.

I love this woman and her attitude....so positive and love her use of items found!
