A New Chapter | Getting Settled In The New House 

I really enjoy your style. Please consider more YT content as you redecorate and make this beautiful home your own. We are here for it!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! After seeing what you did with your place in manhattan I have been dying to see what you'll do with a whole house and yard.

I’d turn the dining table and move it towards the opening of the room. Then turn the window area into a lounge reading nook. That being said you have beautiful style. 😊

Bring the table forward and put the green chair in the window area with the lamp and lemon tree. You’ll want easier access to the table for meals and have lovely window light for reading on the green chair.

Thanks for a lovely video😊 I would put the breakfast table closer to the camera and put two comfortable seats with a side or coffee table in the back, next to the big window, sort of caffe vibe😊

Love seeing the process of you decorating your new home. Concerning the multi-function dining area: Have you considered moving the table closer to the kitchen, orienting it the long way, and adding swivel chairs or reading chairs by the window? Great coffee spot!

I've been waiting for this video ...been checking RU-vid several times a week to see if you'd posted anything. Your style is very much like what I grew up with in Virginia. My mother's antique furniture from her family remind me so much of the things you are finding on the fabulous Facebook Marketplace in your area. What a wonderful resource for you !! This home is going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see what you do in the bedroom. Why not make the empty area in the dining room a little reading area, with a comfy but not too big chair and the built-ins you were talking about. You are in such a beautiful time in your life, a toddler, a new home to make your own and a lot of exciting things to look forward to. I know you will enjoy all of it. I miss that time in my life and really enjoy getting the chance to share all of this with you. Thanks for taking all of us along on this happy journey. Have a wonderful week !!

Your new house is gorgeous! The neighborhood is perfect.

I simply love your home. Thank you for taking me along on your journey and decorating it. Blessings.

I saw a Sam Cooke vinyl in your stuff and immediately knew you have good taste.

I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for bringing us with you to your new home. I'm so looking forward to see how you style it.

Your videos bring such joy to me. I am so excited that you are generously sharing your decorating journey with us. Your home has all the lovely details and architectural features to make it a fresh palette for you to use your talents. It is such a warm, inviting home-I can see that already. I love the neighborhood, the trees, and the windows bringing in all that light! I am so happy for you and your family. Having that one of a kind store nearby is a gift for sure -I would be in there weekly. And your penchant for finding bargains on FB marketplace! Wow, scoring big time! All perfect additions for your home. Looking forward to enjoying the journey. Blessings from Texas!

Loved the pieces you found on marketplace. Such wonderful finds!

That dining room table is AMAZING!

Welcome back to NC, thank you for sharing your adventure on YT, I 💕 your decorating style, if you are in Raleigh, stop by Hunt and Gather, they have lots of well loved items, wishing you and your family a blessed New Year 🙏

Can’t wait to see you transform your new abode into something magical

Oh my goodness, those Antique pieces are GORGEOUS!!!! 💚💚💚💚. Your Home already looks so warm, cozy and inviting!! More Videos please!!! 😃😃😃😃

Place is beautiful, you’ll have so much fun decorating, Dining/Library as always a good multi use room, especially if your going to do floor to ceiling bookcase/shelves.

Try reorienting the table. It might give you the extra width.

I would suggest two chairs with a table between and it can be used for sitting and reading have coffee. The tub chair at table to small. Beautiful room

I wanted to add that built-in floor to ceiling shelving/cabinets in the dining room would be amazing. It would be such a great way to showcases books, dishes, decorative items. You could make it so that the shelves could be adjusted to accommodate changing decor or themes. I would add in some closed cabinets as well to break up the design and make it more interesting. Cabinet doors with glass in them to mirror the window design. You could even have your coffee bar designed into this. Think of the decorating possibilities at the holidays and the seasons!

SO happy to see your video. I bet its super cool just to open your front door and have an amazing front porch and the beautiful outdoors waiting for you!

Beautiful, thanks for sharing this new experience with us. I was on an historic home tour once a long time ago and the tour guide said dining rooms always had a slightly tilted down mirror across from the hostess chair. This is so she could observe when her guests were finished with the course then ring the little bell so that servants could clear for next course. Since then, I always look out for the mirror on house tours, and I see it every time. I have one in my dining room, but it is not directly opposite me, no bell, no servants. Candles on a beautifully table setting reflect - artful ambience.

Settee would look so nice in there!

Place a sofa bench or settee near window and move tbl closer to entryway side of dining room. Or ,leave table where it is and add a writing desk/ vintage chair nook

Agree! Loved what you did with your NYC apt. Looking forward to what you create with your new home.

Yeah! I am so glad you are back!!! Can’t wait to see what you do with this beautiful home ❤️

Love love love love you’re home

Love the new house! If you’re interested, I have a similar dining area/ sunroom in our kitchen. Except, it has 3 walls of windows. I have 2 swivel chairs with a table between them in front of the back windows and my dining table closer to the kitchen. It is kind of the reverse of what you were thinking. I keep plants in the back corners. It is my favorite place in the whole house. I sit there every morning with my coffee and I can swivel around to look out the windows. That’s just how I set it up - I’m sure whatever you decide will be beautiful because you have such a great eye.

Shelby, I am so happy for you! Your home is gorgeous. I cannot wait to watch you make it your own.

I was so excited to see a new video. You inspire me in my decorating.❤

Amazing home can’t wait to see what you do with each room!! Thanks for sharing your journey ❤

Love your new house. Love your decorating style ♥️

We are so happy for you sweet friend! Congratulations on your new home!

Oh boy!!! Thank you for the video. I am sooooooo happy for you, your new home, and free reign to decorate....FUN! Looking so beautiful already.

Love, love all your amazing ideas, you truly have a gift for decorating!❤😊

I love your new table! Looking forward to this new journey !!!!❤

Love what you’ve done so far with the home! Can’t wait to see how you make the rest of it magical 🤍

So fun to see your new space come together. Excited that you have allowed us along for the journey! Thank you!

So very incredibly BLESSED… Happy for you all! 🙏🏼

I can’t wait to see how you decorate your new home! Love everything you do and want to see more!!!

Your home is going to be fabulous!

I’m so excited to see what you do to this house. I love your style, and know it will be glorious, whatever you do ❤

There are an inordinate amount of architectural nuances to your Home that I cannot wait to see how you work with decoratively, Shelby. Like you, I was a 90s child and the structure of your Home reminds me of the Family Home I grew up in, which had been built in 1994...in a few ways. I have always adored window nooks/window seats. That guest room will be lovely for those you are welcoming to stay! One thing I have never had in a home but truly wished I did is an elegant Oval-shaped window! That window in your background was absolutely enchanting. Such an idyllic detail! Your wallpaper selection for your Primary Bedroom is quite intriguing. Elegance is always at the center of my decor initiatives, as well. Yet, finding a way to implement stylistic Elegance without one's Home appearing stuffy, cold, and museum-like is both an art and a challenge! It is imperative for a Home to look and feel lived-in, cozy, and inviting. If you and TJ are cultivating a joyful Home with the consistent presence of Loved-ones, and Sam Cooke records playing in the background, then I sense your living space will strike that balance nearly perfectly. 🖤

Oh my gosh!! SOOO excited to see what you will do with this BEAUTIFUL house!! Already looking great!

Loving your style and the vibe of your new home! It's so gorgeous, and the neighborhood is perfect. Can't wait for more content as you make it your own. Thanks for taking us along on this journey! 🏡💖

Excited for you and excited to go through the decorating process with you! love the idea of a built-in in the dining area and adding a couple of reading chairs would look good? Dining, reading and music!!

Love watching you make this house your home.So beautiful already

I was so glad to see that you are back, I truly enjoy your decorating and how it develops. Be safe and take care

Congratulations 👏 don’t be in a rush. Make your home more beautiful and enjoy the process.

What a beautiful store! You found a gem in your neighborhood. Love the entry way. I can’t wait to see how you decorate the rest of the house. Antique shopping on FB is the latest for all the online content creators … I am happy you found fb as your new tool also.

Absolutely Beautiful. You have a BEAUTIFUL home.❤

Such a beautiful home and I cannot wait to see how you decorate each room. It is wonderful that you get to be near your parents, I know they are thrilled!

Dining room thought.. 🤔 two conversational chair in front of the beautiful windows. That would require moving the table a little to the center of the room where you had open space. Maybe a serving table too! 🤔🤔😙

Well I just think everything you do is spectacular ~ I love seeing what you choose to make your house a home! As always, learning a lot by your example. Thanks for sharing with us!

I enjoy your style so much. You are an inspiration to me. I appreciate you sharing your family and your new home. I know I said it before but I just can’t wait to see what you are doing next.♥️

I would actually move the table up to that blank space and then create a sitting area, 2 chairs with table in between right next to the windows...very cozy!

Love what you are doing in your new home!! We have similar styles! Can’t wait to see what you do with each room - exciting!!!!

I just love that dining room window. So much light. It’s beautiful. ❤

I just found your channel! ❤ I can’t wait to see what you do with your new home in NC.

I am really looking forward to seeing everything you do to your beautiful new home. I loved the aesthetic in your New York home, so this is going to be fun watching your style unfold in a new place. :)

I know whatever you do will be beautiful, but I was thinking - What if you moved dining table to the front and put seating/lounge area by the window? The view is gorgeous and you’ll be able to set table and bring food in without having to pass through lounge area. You’re going to have so much fun decorating your new home. I’m so glad you’re taking us along. So happy for you and your family, and of course, for Pearl! She finally has her dream yard. 🩷

Wow I love it all… the house, the Facebook market finds and you showing us how you’re putting it together. Thank you for sharing 💗. I am so happy for you all 🥰

Your marketplace finds are gold!!! Seriously, they’re so amazing! I love your style

Your new home is Lovely, Shelby!🫶🏻

Beautiful home with great bones !! What fun for your creativity to bloom anew 👍🏽🙋🏽‍♀️

Oh, wow! Your new place has such good features. It looks beautiful already. Can't wait to see what you do with it. And that French store....so jealous!

Excited to share your decor journey in your beautiful home!

Pearl’s happiness is everything. I love your home and the French boutique is incredible Can’t wait to see more of all

I absolutely love your home ❤

You are finding such beautiful things on FB marketplace! I’m so happy for you. You will make this home just lovely.

Can’t wait to see more videos on RU-vid. Congratulations on your beautiful new home.

Love your style ❤. The new house is beautiful. The part where you have your accessories laid out on the floor and pretending it’s a shop is fabulous and something I’m going with as I’m always moving and restyling areas of my home and this is a great way to fully see and “shop” what you already have. Look forward to your next video

Im so happy for you and your family❤❤❤. I love your style and the way you decorate with local finds from Facebook marketplace. This video makes my heart truly happy!

Loved the canopy bed! How creative ! I really enjoyed it😊

Love that idea for your dining room to have double purpose . Having a built in and lounge area with all those windows sounds so welcoming and usable. Cant wait to see what you do.

Have been a loyal follower since you guys moved to NYC and am so excited for this new chapter!!! ❤

I hope you continue to upload videos throughout this whole journey!
