Wow, What an awesome house, so much "scope for the imagination" and many small projects for update and renewal. Love the storage space and as a teacher, that is golden. Congratulations to you and Michael. Many happy years to you and your family. Cheers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Love it! I love the shiplap but I know we don’t all love the same things. Beautiful fireplace… love, love a fireplace. The basement is just wonderful! I am so happy for you all! The back yard is amazing! The Lord has certainly blessed you!
It is beautiful!! Was there a specific way that you saved for this house, or did you more so just use the money from selling your old house as a down payment? The backyard is everything😍😍
The back garden is lovely I would love a big home like yours . in the UK most of the houses are small no basement over here lol good luck in your new home 🏡 🍾💐xxx Gina 🇬🇧
I just started watching your videos a few days ago, and I’m so glad that I found your channel! I absolutely love just the sheer square footage of your house! Congrats! 😆
Wow it's so beautiful! Does it change your commute to work at all? I personally think the bottle caps for the bar is cute in theory for more like entertainers or a bachelor pad😂 LOVE the storage in the walk in closet and the yard!😍
Congrats on your new house. It is so beautiful. I love the size of your backyard. Wow! Also, for the couch in the basement, you can get a couch cover so you won’t have to deal with the brown 😊
My favorite part was probably the mudroom though I do just love all the space you have in general. I can totally see you making the best of that space for years to come. I also can't wait to see the paint colors you choose. I'm sure those will make a big difference :)
At first I thought the wet bar was tile and really liked it... until I saw the close-up. Maybe you could just paint over it so it would look like tile instead?
Your new home is gorgeous! I think I liked the kitchen best! Emma, be sure to at least save 1 of those original to the house doors. Could be worth money some day! They don’t make them the same now!
Not completely sure but I’ve seen some people get couch covers, so if you found one of those that fit that couch & in a color you liked better- that would be a great solution
it's so beautiful, congrats!! i laughed out loud at the green wall with motivational quotes omg ew lol but i love your vision of the whole house!! im excited to see how it all comes together :)
What a BEAUTIFUL house! So many great parts. The fact that it’s 3.5 baths has to be my fav. That’s incredible. Not sure if this is too personal of a video idea but I would love to hear how you went about saving for a house of this size on a teachers salary (and your husbands also lol). So so happy for you!
Michael makes more than I do as a teacher but a lot of our saving comes from RU-vid to be honest! My RU-vid income goes straight to savings and that helps us build it up over time. 😊💛
For that empty space in your living room you don’t know what to do with you could put a wall up there and put some barn doors and make it a play room!!
The backyard is so cool and I'm OBSESSED with that finished basement (excluding the green, yellow, and bottle caps lol) So happy you've found your forever home for your family! :)
The part where Michael was showing the basement and you said “are you opening the door?” I love how realistic this moment is. RU-vid is mostly scripted and videos always flow “smoothly” I appreciate you guys being so normal on camera! I’m so pumped to see what you do with your house!! So much space to work with!! 🥰 I would be so anxious to get it all done right away too! lol
In Jordan’s new room: I recommend getting more of the ikea spice rack (that’s what they sell them as) for her books! I noticed they already had one of them they left in her room. We have 6 of them in each of my kids rooms going up the wall. They are so perfect for kids books!
Absolutely love your new house! 💛 I can’t wait for all the house content! I can’t wait to see what you change and how you decorate to turn it into your home! My favorite part of your new house is all the space you have to create functional spaces!
Clearly I have too many comments today lol one more thing: I feel like the under the stair storage in the basement would be so perfect for toy rotation (if you plan to do that with Jordan as she gets bigger). We love rotating toys every week or two. We have so many that’s it’s nice to not have allllll the toys out at the same time 😀
I'm sure you could probably find some sort of etsy shop or something to make a cover for the couch in your basement to at least make it the color you would like!
What a wonderful house with a lot of potential. The basement and storage room is AMAZING. And the backyard - with a porch, fire pit, no neighbors behind you??? So excited for y'all! I so respect your reasoning behind keeping the couch in the basement. Not the ~vibe~, but it's FREE, and it's there. I'm pumped for the rest of the house content!
Omg when I first saw the bar I thought "oh, polka dots, that's an interesting choice for a manly wet bar" and then you zoomed in 😭 your silence spoke VOLUMES 🤣❤️
I love how big your backyard is. That is going to be amazing for a little swing set for Jordon! I also LOVE the fire pit! Congratulations on your new home.
EMMA! Oh my gosh this house is a dream. God gives such good gifts to those who wait on Him! It’s encouraging to watch this and see how faithful God has been to your family. I think one of my favorite parts of the house is the kitchen - there’s so much room and I can already imagine the beautiful ideas you have for it! I love that your family will get to flourish here. So so so stoked for y’all 🤍
Such a great home that you all can continue to grow into❣️My favorite part is the backyard ☺️!! You all will really enjoy having all that space and the fence is wonderful! Blessings 😇.
Love the house! And the finished basement is big and nice. I have a huge unfinished basement which is nice but finished puts the icing on the cake. Backyard is roomy and nice too.
in the other part of the living room I would make that a play room for baby girl. where that desk a pretty hutch or buffet to store extra plates, holiday things would be good to store in one of them. buffet piece would be probably better. and pretty mirror over the buffet
I love the whole thing!! The backyard is awesome but I just can imagine your house all decked out for Christmas!! It will be so cozy and sweet!! Yay!!! ❤
The entire house is great. You have so much more space now and storage space too. I thought that fireplace with the stone look was very nice. You may be able to have the couch reupholstered, you could look into it. Congratulations and may you enjoy the process of making this YOUR space.
Wow! Congratulations. You got a really nice house! I can't wait to see next week's video and also to see the changes you will eventually make. There is so much room and potential and space to grow into. I had an idea for a temporary fix for the wet bar...was to paint over the bottle caps, like a grey/stone or even another color. The caps will give it dimension and almost make it look like a cool backsplash. Also, if you need another room later on for future kids you could always move the office to the previous tenets' dining room space. Or you could close that area off to make another bedroom/office. The basement storage area is huge! Wow. I love all of it! Whoop!
In a similar season of life of outgrowing our first little home and looking forward to the day the Lord places a new space in our lap as well ♥️ What a blessing He has provided you and your sweet family. Such relatable content - looking forward to the upcoming vlogs!
My favorite part is the backyard, it’s huge and perfect for kids! The room next to the living room can be made into a play room or an office. That way you have an extra guest room
Your house is amazing! I'm so excited for you guys! I think your closet is my favorite! The wet bar and pool table is a fun add along with the back yard! 😍 Oh and storage makes or breaks a house for sure!!
