The tortoise and the pool are my favorite parts. Living in the heat would be hard w/out having a pool. I'm sure you'll make the house cute with your decorating.
Lived there as a kid. Hard no., glad your happy there. I think you either love it or hate it. not alot of in between. I’m a gardening person so I love the greenery in my surroundings. Congrats on being back where you love being❤️
What a gorgeous setting with the mountains and the house will be so beautiful, especially once you put your Jenna touch on it! Love the floors and the pool looks so divine! Thanks for sharing the cute turtle too!
I LOVE the tortoise! We have gopher tortoises and rabbits behind our house and they are so fun ❤Your black lab is adorable too. What a great place for a dog to run around!
I don't thinkI have ever commented on your channel, but I'm so jealous! My whole family lives all around Arizona and I miss living there. I'm excited to see all your Arizona videos!
Love the new back yard! You guys are going to get so much use out of that back porch and pool! I can’t wait to see how beautiful you make the house! ❤ Also, we have looked at so many homes with that weird sliding shower door and I’ve NEVER thought to put a curtain over it to hide it! That’s such a good idea!
FYI, Coyotes can jump a 6 foot fence, although you have a bigger dog so not as tempting to them.. also, they have rattlesnake classes here, highly recommend as they train your dog to sound etc. everyone I know that took their dog has been very happy with the training/protection it provides their dogs.. Also, be aware of javelinas that’s something we didn’t expect when we moved here😳.. enjoy and best wishes😊
Always check your patio and yard for rattle snakes. They like the cold cement and rocks. My sister lives in Arizona too and her dog was bit. Stay safe😊
I was born and raised around your area, Welcome back! I hope you guys find all you needed and more. Tip… park where the sun is facing the back of your car not the front window. Trust me
How fabulous, you gonna love it there. Please be vigilant about snakes, the area species and the closest antivenum treatment centre. Looking forward to all your fun projects & DIY's!
Jenna I’m so excited to see how you go about putting your touch on this house! The views, lots of windows, arch detail, open concept, pool and a turtle 🐢. I agree it does look prehistoric! Congrats to you both.
I’m excited to see how you decorate it being a rental. We had a house fire and lost everything so we are staying in a rental as we decided not to move back after rebuilding and sold our house to a contractor. Being in a rental limits me to be able to do a lot of things I would normally do if I owned the house so I do a lot of decorating using decor pieces and furniture. Looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life in your new home! Congratulations!
Welcome back to Phoenix. Lots of changes in the last four years. I hope you will share your shopping adventures at local stores in addition to the usual chains for those of us who also live in Phoenix! Have fun decorating the new place!
Omg this home is so cute ! The tortoise 🐢 is such cute surprise!I’m an Arizona resident as well and my bf and I just bought a new home too! Can’t wait to see how you decorate this home!
I only lived in AZ my first three years of life so there’s little I remember (all my life really) but I still feel called to go back. The night sky, the sunsets and the lightening!!! Nothing beats the skies of the desert. It was the last time our family was whole so it always feels like home
Omg! I live in Phoenix!!!! Such a great area to live. I have been here 4 yrs now and love it (minus 3 months of the year) glad you’re in my city. I’ve been watching your channel for the last year and really love your style. Very much so my vibes. Can’t wait to see how you style the new house!!!
This looks just like our home we had in Mesa, AZ! So many fun memories 🥹 We're now in CA but how i wish i had the style i had now for that home. It had a lot of charm and archways
I wish you the best in your new beautiful home. I love Arizona! Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see what you do with the place! And you even have a turtle!! 🤩
We loved in Tucson for nearly 20 years! I hope you enjoy your new happy place. Watch out for scorpions and snakes, especially Kona. Check your shoes before putting them on. ❤
Welcome back to AZ! This is the HOTTEST time of the year, murder for moving! Just keep chanting… ”But at least it’s a dry heat”! 😂😅🤣 I’m here as well and we love our pool and outdoor shower! I can’t wait to see how you transform your house into your sanctuary. But word of caution, not to be a bummer! But you are right against open land so be aware that coyotes will hop right over your back wall. Don’t let your dog (even a big one) out alone!!
Wow what a beautiful home surrounded by mountains. Definitely my wish. Hope you enjoyed decorating it and look forward to your videos. Best wishes from Dublin Ireland x
I'm really excited for you guys! Although I'm not a fan of the desert heat, I can see you really enjoy the vibe, and I think it will fit your style really well. You'll be able to do some really cool stuff with wood and terracotta and Native American baskets and crafts, and I think the pieces that you already have will pretty much blend. I agree with you about that light fixture in the kitchen and maybe the fan. Although your cushion might not fit, I see that bay window in there as being the best place for a windowseat. The neighborhood looks really cute, and I do love the view. Can't wait for your next video. Don't forget lots of moisturizer 🧡
Congratulations on your new place! Im in California and my husband and I love Arizona . Our son went to school there. We may decide to move there since we just retired. I love your tortoise ! My family had two when I was little. I loved when they would come out of hibernation every spring. I’m so excited to see how you decorate and make your space your own.
I am very excited to see how you arrange furniture in your living room bcoz i have somewhat similar layout with main door opening in the room without actual entryway and the dining room attached.
Wow what a beautiful home and the views, so stunning not to mention a pool but coolest thing a tortoise! I cannot wait to see how you decorate your home so happy for you guys and sweet Kona 😊❤️🐾🌵
Holy cats that’s a big back yard. And a pool too. That’s so awesome. I think the house has the challenges that are going to be great for your channel. Because I think a lot of people face the same things. With the ceiling fans and light fixtures in a rental. The more permanent things like the tile and counters. What do you do to bring it up to date without going against your rental agreement. Plus just everyday styling. You are going to have so much fun. And the tortoise 🐢 is a bonus. How can you not love that sweet face. ❤
I love how optimistic you are. I can imagine what an adjustment this can be after having your own home. You are inspiring and love to see examples of how people just take things as they are and understand the different phases in life. Best to you.
Welcome to AZ. It's a beautiful state to live in. It looks like you have desert behind your house. You will probably see bobcats, coyotes and rattlesnakes. Definitely check into rattlesnake training for your dog. Have fun decorating.
How fun to have a tortoise 🐢! I hope that Kona and the turtle get along. It's always so fun to move to a new area. Finding new restaurants, shopping, sites of interest is so awesome. I love the hills and native cacti; quite a change from your last home. Can't wait to see how you decorate your new home 🏡Jenna.
I cannot WAIT to see what you do to work around that bossy countertop! I have similar gold granite and hate it! I also have a similar floor tile! 🫣 I was thinking of painting mine with chalk paint. Maybe you can work something out with the landlord. There is grout stain called Mapei that works really well also! This is going to be GREAT to see what you do with all that! TY!!
I know you work hard, however I will admit how jealous I am of your lifestyle! What I would give to be able to do what I love (shop and play with my home designs!). So happy for you guys on making it.
How is your doggie taking the heat? I saw someone comment about coyotes, so I’m sure you’re knowledgeable about that too! I’m glad you two are so happy to be where you want to be.
You have a beautiful rental and I cannot wait to see your decorating journey. You mentioned The Land Before Time...my son watched that so many times and memorized the whole dialogue! A sweet memory. I hope you enjoy your new home!❤
I can't wait for you to Jenna-fy the house and back yard, it will be so fun seeing your decor come to life in a completely new environment! I'm especially excited to see your holiday decorating in this new house! Welcome to Arizona you two!
Bless you for liking that heat…118 down there yesterday. And there probably are javalina in those hills. Enjoy making your rental a home as your viewers know you will.
I love the outdoor shower! That was a surprise, for sure. It is a cute house and the backyard is great! Ivy is a super nice extra bonus. ❤ Enjoy your new home.
Hi Jenna and Mike. 😊 I am so thrilled for the both of you. You both are still young and it is wonderful to see that you are going after what makes you happy. Your new place looks amazing!! A lot of land and space and a beautiful pool. The back drop of your backyard is stunning! How exciting!! Kona seems to be right at home. I am looking forward to seeing all your decorating!! Take care!!🤗
Looking so forward to see you turn this blank space into a beautiful cozy home. The scenery is beautiful and so is the pool! Have fun with all you do and the new backyard friend🐢
I'm so happy for you both, Kona & the tortoise. My brother used to raise many tortoses in his yard, he had a banana tree a home made pond for them it was so cool. That would be nice to include a pond in your yard make over. I'm would think the owners would approve that. The land before time, was an awesome show I watched it so many times with my oldest son.
Love the house, the open concept of it is wonderful. The bay windows are so pretty. I just don't think I could handle the Arizona heat. But it is beautiful. And the tortoise I would love. So neat to be parents, Jenna. Can't wait to see how you decorate this house. I know it will be spectacular and so cozy. ❤️❤️
