I was watching this and thinking oh, my, that shed will just fill up with stuff. Then I remembered you were a minimalist. Can't wait to see what you do with the place. I haven't had a chance to watch all your recent videos so didn't realize you were moving to such a big property.
I am not sure how I missed your comment Katherine! Sorry!! I can TOTALLY see your family living in the country! You guys already give country living vibes 😍
Just look back on your last video to see where you put the coat hangers, I would consider taking out some of the storage to make the bedroom for the girls slightly bigger, or bunk beds, or what we did is let the kids have the bigger room as we only sleep and don't need the space. You have plenty of storage and you don't have a lot of stuff.x
Yeah definitely it’s such a small room as we discovered after the first week living here that we def needed bunks so we have ordered bunk beds for the girls to give them more space in their room. I think we will leave the storage in their though as they’ll need somewhere for their clothing. The girls actually only use their bedroom for sleeping and reading in their beds, they’ve never used their bedroom for playing even in our old house when they had a big bedroom. They’ve always played in the lounge with their toys or outside ❤️❤️
Congratulations Jana and family, nothing like having some space around you. Im jealous of the spa on the deck! The whole property is lovely, cant wait to see you put your mark on it. Please try and film setting up your veggie garden!!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I’ve literally been in the spa everyday since we moved in lol it’s especially nice at night looking up at stars with a glass of red 🤣 it’s just been so relaxing esp after months of craziness. Yes absolutely!! I’m excited to get out in the garden once the house is all sorted! ❤️
Thank you!! We are loving it, it really is the peace and quiet I’ve been craving for years. I have to pinch myself looking at mountain views each morning when opening up the curtains, it doesn’t feel real. So beyond blessed!!! 🥰
What a gorgeous place! So excited for you guys and I’m really looking forward to hopefully seeing how you personalize it! And of course organize it. What an inspiring garden space as well!
Thank you. We love the house, it’s so nice and peaceful!! Yeah I’ve been filming bits and pieces around the house when I’m putting things away etc it’s such a process though lol I keep changing my mind with things 😆
What a beautiful home to raise your gang! I grew up in Hawkes Bay in a similar size home sharing with sister. We spent all our time outside. Kids don’t need lots of room inside, memories are making mud pies in the sandpit, swinging on the swings, trampoline, helping in the vegetable garden. Thanks for sharing ❤ Happy home blessings ❤
Absolutely and being outside is just so great for kids, since being here I’ve really noticed a huge change in the kids, they’re really enjoying discovering new things around the yard and using their imaginations a lot more. Today they were going on a "bear hunt" lol just very cool seeing them spending time exploring and doing what kids do best ❤️
The yard looks great and the area looks so rural and peaceful! What a wonderful place to raise children. Do you think you'll do bunkbeds for the girls so they have more room to play in their bedroom?
I’m struggling to get the kids to come inside lol they are loving having so much space outside. It’s really lovely and peacful, rural without being too far away from town. It’s the perfect house for us, probably why it took us so long to find a house, we have been house hunting for a couple years but nothing before this one ticked all our boxes. Yes!! Funny you mention bunk beds, we just ordered some from Harvey Norman a couple days ago (but they’re going to take 4-6 weeks to arrive) It’ll be nice to give the girls more space in their room 🥰
Thank you!! Yeah having some land is something we have wanted for a long time too. We didn’t want too much land but the amount we have is perfect for us 🥰
Congratulations on your new home Jana, it is going to look fantastic once you add your special touches and turn it into a home for yourself and your family. The children are going to love the yard, especially the tree house and the sand pit. I hope you share this journey with us. I think I am a little jealous......😆
Thanks so much! The kids are loving it, I’m actually struggling to get them to come inside lol they are having the best time with so much space outside. Yes definitely I’m planning on sharing this journey as we set up this home and space. I’ve got so many plans out here!! 😁🥰
You will have fun making some new videos and memory's at your new place we need to see everything haha Gardens, home decorating, chicken feeding ,you have alot of people who love watching you I'm sure anything you put up people would love to watch like myself xx
Thank you 😊 yes I’m definitely not going to run out of things to film out here, so many things to look forward to I’m excited to learn new things like canning and preserving, growing new things that I haven’t tried growing before and having chickens etc.. so fun! ❤️
😍 Oh Jana it's beautiful and a mansion. So much incredible open space outside for the kids and your dog. How peaceful, quiet and idyllic. How close are you to neighbours or other kids houses if the girls want friends to come over for a sleep over or play date etc? I'm so happy and excited for you all. It's so perfect. Wow xx
Thank you, we are loving it so much! There are only two houses close by but neither of them have young children, though the girls can have their school friends come and play and have sleepovers. They had their cousin come for a sleepover on Friday night 🥰❤️
Happy Housewarming to you and the fam! OMG love love your new property and home. Love those bags you been packing stuff into! You are one strong mumma and woman with all that you were doing and inspiring me.
Thank you!! We are loving the new house! Yeah those bags from Bunnings were so handy for things like bedding, towels, clothes etc Aww thank you for such a sweet comment, that’s so lovely and so cool I can give you some inspiration! X
@@Janaleigh as soon as i see your videos i click on them! Your grow tunnels and raised plant beds made me so excited, can't wait to see what you with them! That's my dream set up.
That fenced part at the back? Yeah that could be what it was built for 🤔. The last owners had their compost behind the veggie garden (I’ll have to show it in a vlog) so I’ve just been using that for my scraps, as well as my own compost bin I brought out 😁
@@Janaleigh no under the box spring, did you install legs on them or is there a specific item made for that? That’s genius cause it lifts the box spring and all you need is the headboard, so smart
@@Janaleigh that’s very well thought out and environmentally and cost friendly too! I need to replace my son’s bed frame and mattress, I’m going to look into this for his box spring instead. Thank you Jana! I love all the built ins you have again, that is really convenient too! Enjoy your new home with your family! All the best!
