As someone who also appreciates home reno & HGTV kinda type of stuff, I’m so excited to see you guys play around & show us your new home journey related content!!! 🥰 especially knowing this is something you’d guys have been working towards throughout the time I’ve been into your channel 😍
Congrats! We didn’t get to see backyard…it looked cute. Looking forward to seeing finished product. So much room in that first floor for a great kitchen dining redo with big island!
Yes! Laboring and Living with the Leffersons! Would love to go along with you on your new house renovation journey! Alyssa, you can always wear Minnie ears while you work to add that touch if Disney! So happy you found your house! And I think a 3-D printer would be great in the basement/Garrett room!
So excited for ya'll for your first house. About the high ceilings, they have their share of problems. We have high ceilings in our house, live in Georgia. It's hot in the summer and impossible to cool down and cold in the winter and impossible to heat. It is what it is though. Would love to see the journey. I watch a lot of home restoration/preservation videos of old homes but those are done by semi-professionals. I would love to see it done by people learning as they go, since I know nothing about things like ripping up carpet and replacing floors, it would be a learning experience.
I remember living in Palatine briefly in the early 90s. Our house and I know several houses in the area were similarly split-level. Congrats on the new home and good luck with the renos
This is so exciting! Happy for y’all! My husband and I renovated our first home and it was challenging but so rewarding! Ready to see y’all put your stamp on your new home. Also, missed y’all and so happy you’re posting more regularly again!
Great blank slate to start with! I don't think you ended up showing the backyard but from the glimpse early on it looks nice and big! If your driveway is facing south that will be great for snowy days too! Congrats and looking forward to following along!
This California girl is jealous of all of the space and openness 🤯 my heart is so happy and excited for you guys for this new chapter! Congratulations on your beautiful home and thank you for sharing with us 🎉❤😊
Congratulations On Your New House Alyssa Garret and Baby James and I would love more videos like this seeing the progress of you renovating your home 🏡😊
Wow congratulations Guys! Love the new home. I've owned my own condo for 6 years in Florida and done many upgrades. It's a lot of work but there's nothing like owning your own home. I will never go back to renting! Yes I recommend very first thing ripping out carpet - but don't do that until the wood floors are going to be put in/around same day. Lots of dust mites will be underneath that old carpet. Also if you are getting engineered wood like I have, mine are not waterproof I've had water damage on them over the years from bathroom leaks, etc. (yes you will get your share of repairs that need to be done )Wipe up any water spills on it quickly. Anyway have FUN 🎉❤
Congratulations again! I would love to see what you do. DIY shows are so fun. Plus, I love to see how others decorate. I did not get that skill in life. Lol.
So excited for you guys! Me and my husband bought our very first house when our son was a baby and it’s just so wonderful to make a house a home with a little one xoxoxox
Awesome house ! Congratulations ! Definitely would love how you guys update your house that would be on my list as I love to clean , paint , organize and create . I also can’t wait if you do what you do with all your guys Disney stuff and fandom . Harry Potter theme basement maybe ? Lol
Omg I love it and can picture how amazing it will look when you guys start all of the improvements. I watch your channel because I genuinely like whatever you guys are doing so bring on the reno! I'd love to see it all!
Congrats woohoo! Your home is awesome and so unique. I would LOVE to see other house improvement videos or anything in that nature. They are fun and mixes things up a little. 🙌
WOW!! That basement is awesome!!! So big, and so much room. The ideas are endless! I'm so excited for you guys and I can't wait to watch more Living with the Lefferson's videos!
Congrats on this mew journey! 🎉 Just bought mine by my wholesome self (no hubby yet) so it’s been overwhelming but not impossible. Please, Yes show me DiYs. I might get inspired. Love the house 😍. Have fun making it your own!
This house is so great! The basement could be a gym, a MIL suite, a cool teenage hangout for James, so many options that will grow with your family! More living with the Lefferson videos please!
Congratulations! I love it ! So much potential lots of space and the amount of storage !! Can’t wait for all of the home content and as you were giving a tour I thought of all the Christmas decorating you can do !! Again congratulations 🎉
I would love to see any and all diy home improvements! We all need those every now and then! Lol! Could be great for ideas for our own homes. Congrats on your new home! 🎉🥰
😮😮😮😮 what a beautiful home! Congratulations to you both! I love the possibly of this being a series on your channel. It’s so fun getting to see you both entering this wonderful chapter of your lives….buying your 1st home is HUGE!!! I couldn’t be happier for you guys. Theresa 😊 xo
Congratulations on being homeowners! I'm very excited to see you make the house your own :) My husband and I recently bought our first house too so it's nice to see another couple going through it at the same time!
I love the layout of your new house! You can do so much with it. I would Love to see what you guys do with it, completely down with "Living with the Leffersons" 😂
Congratulations!!! It's both a fantastic home as-is, and also has great potential to make it your own! I look forward to seeing the progress on the home! BTW, Garrett stopped you from showing the yard so he could, and then he never did! LOL!
Congratulations!!! It is a beautiful home and there is so much potential. Doing it yourself and making it your own is so much better than buying a house that’s already fixed up 🤗 I am so excited to see what you do and I can’t wait to follow along on this new journey with whatever you decide to share! And hopefully we get to see the backyard eventually 😉😂
Congratulations!! This is a very exciting milestone for you three. We bought a similar blank slate home in 2012 and had a lot of fun making it our style as we updated. Two kids and 11.5 years later, we’re down to our final overhaul (why did we leave the kitchen last?!). You’ve got this!
The new house is super duper cute! I can see so much potential with the new house. The basement when James get older. A place for him to hang out with his friends. An the closest in the hall way with the bedrooms, could total be a little book area
Y'all could close off that 4th bedroom area and double door it and make it the filming room! So excited for you guys!! I love house renos! We just moved into a house and it got redone from the studs up essentially!
I think your new house is fantastic! It's exactly as you said, a few new cosmetic changes and your house will be like a show model. Plenty of room for your family to grow and thrive. Best of luck with your new home.
