Empty House Tour | Our New Home

[@kristenhand7645]

My in- laws have a very high ceiling and a balcony overlook and they have fans the same way. The main reason you will use them so much is because the ceilings are so high , heat rises, and you can set the fans to circulate the heat back down to warm the entire living area . Just thought that might be helpful when teying to make a decision about keeping them . Love the house !!!! Looks like a great place to snuggle up with a warm cup of coffee and a good book. Love the country vibes 😊

[@jennpzc4925]

I've never been so happy for someone who I don't know personally. Each inch of the house is beautiful and I'm sure you all will fill it with love, creativity and happy memories.

[@cicis8046]

You might need to keep the fans for the heat from the fireplace! I have 15 ft ceilings with a wood stove and although the wood stove works great, the heat just rises so the fan helps bring the heat back down to us 😂

[@brinkj32]

100%! Came here to say that 😂 Heat rises, and fans help so much. I wouldn’t make it without my fans!

[@victoriawinter8387]

And in the summer, you can change the direction of the fan to get a cool breeze.

[@stephani7557]

The gift from your family I believe it is called a Tureen. It is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your beautiful new home. I can't wait to see it all furnished and cozy! Congratulations!

[@polynesianreenie267]

Everything about this home gies me Wilderness Lodge vibes! So quiet and rustic, amazing. You are so happy and that is so inspiring!

[@jackandlill]

I think the wine room is beautiful - but I also think that would be a perfect spot for a sauna - bcse it's right off the gym! It's such a large room I wonder if you could take part of it for a sauna - although I know both are specific temperate climates so - don't know if that would work. It was just a thought that popped into my head & then you mentioned the rainforest room just a bit later. I just think the placement of the wine cellar is a great spot for it!

[@brandy4479]

Carl is a country dog at heart....so happy he loves the new house!

[@ninanoms]

🤣

[@ilisle3653]

Keep those living room ceiling fans. Heat rises and that’s a tall ceiling. You want your push it back down. A tip from the wife of a home builder

[@vakaxx]

Hey hon not sure if you will see this but about the balcony/railings - my boss' little dog just went over the balcony 2 days ago and is fortunately alive but is extremely bad shape, he is young so chances of recovery are higher - but PLEASE please close off the gaps in the railings for Carl

[@kristycastillo993]

I would suggest living in the house for a while before making a lot of changes. The house is beautiful ❤.

[@AngieBellemare]

Thank youuu ❤️

[@heatherd5466]

Definitely keep the ceiling fans! In the summer you will know why they are there.

[@Emily_Hurley]

​@@AngieBellemareAre you sure Carl wouldn't be ok on steps?

[@meaganpearce9054]

Nah. You know what you want, totally do it.

[@Emily_Hurley]

​@@AngieBellemareThey insulated the house? Is it sound proofed too?

[@beachysands4036]

I hope you pause before moving the laundry. It’s so convenient to have it on the same floor as your clothes.

[@simple_naildesigns]

Yes, agree!

[@christinabellamoore]

I am LOVING these! I'm so happy for you all, sending you, and anyone reading this, lots of love Xxx

[@AngieBellemare]

Aw you're so sweet !! ❤️

[@KWest-ts4gx]

As some one who lives in Texas…the snow crunch was EVERYTHING!! I may need a ASMR video that is just you bootin’ around the property in the crunchy snow and whispering Angie excited comments. Lol ❄️☃️💙

[@gabriellailene]

I say leave the fans. Heat rises so the fans will be useful to push the heat downward. The house is so beautiful. It’s such a completely different vibe from your old house but its giving peaceful tranquility. Congratulations!!

[@shelleyredman5885]

I love the idea of a screened outdoor room. Carl can go outside without the fear of a large bird grabbing him.

[@eonxblue]

Yes. I am so concerned for Carl vs the wildlife. He must be protected at all costs lol

[@stephaniecarney9367]

My mouth DROPPED when I saw the wine cellar! I love the house so much but I 1000% understand why that’s your favourite room 😍😍 so excited to see how you both make this house your own ✨

[@deniseu2119]

Okay, that wine cellar would be my favourite room too. The natural rocks are lovely. I can imagine them with candles in all the little niches. Thank you for walking all the way to the lake - it was so beautiful. It reminds me so much of a trip we took. We attended an event in Toronto and stayed an extra week and drove up to the Haliburton Highlands and stayed at this wonderful lodge on Lake Haliburton. Your video brought back some great memories 💞 Wishing you and Andre all the best in your new home.

[@lucyhall5559]

Everything is so crisp and clean. How beautiful and relaxing! 💚❤💚❤ Little man seems so happy to explore. Next year you should totally do It's a wonderful life planner! 💚❤💚❤

[@justasmallhaul1247]

Congratulations on your new home. Love the home tour wish you plenty of happiness.❤

[@caraadams9846]

Love the house tour, especially watching Carl exploring the great outdoors! The laundry room in the basement seems like a great idea but quite a hike from the upstairs. Maybe installing a laundry shoot / dumb waiter might be a good idea:).

[@kellyl.3059]

I am a little confused. Since you have two houses, which one is your main house? I love log cabins for Christmas aesthetic, however, log cabins are a very specific aesthetic that I would tire of very quickly. It reminds me of glamping cabins. I love dark wood but I need nice clean white walls and more modern aesthetic. I would fix it up and rent it out most of the year. I would build new in a suburb.

[@jobeccavengod5434]

Love it! “It’s giving Dutton Ranch” lol obsessed with Yellowstone I now want a cabin style home too!!

[@danielleS257]

Just a dream!! I’d keep the ceiling fans b/c it’s not always going to be winter, but they will also help move warm air if the motion is revered. Maybe have them dropped down more. When you showed the door to the wine cellar in an earlier video but made some comment about it, I just knew it was going to be a sauna but how awesome!! And I love the chandelier in it. The juxtaposition between the rustic and fancy… ❤️. And I get your enjoyment of the wine opener. I bought my first house b/c it had this amazing hanging pot holder 😂. Congratulations & can’t wait to see it all become HOME.

[@veannewillson]

Love ur new home. Keep fans in living room, with the high ceilings u want to move the warm air down in winter as the heat rises. With the TV in bedroom put it on swivel bracket. Then invite me over 😂😂😂. I’m in Vancouver waiting for snow so I’m loving ur snowy outlook.

[@michellethompson1071]

Your house is insane! I love everything about it! It's huge! And to be all alone in the woods and the lake, its my dream home, I'm so happy for you,its amazing to see you so glowing! 💕

[@itsawonderfulreallife6947]

thank you for the house tour. It is so inspiring to see your dream turn into a goal and then into reality. Blessings to you both on your new home.

[@meunique2]

I’m so happy for you guys. I love the new house. The more I looked at this tour I expected to see as much and no less. The elegance and coziness in this home is so Andre and Angie Bellemare. I was visualizing how things would look once you guys have put your personal touch to this house and I already know it’ll be a magical home. Can’t wait!! 😁

[@hoperichardson7440]

I've been refreshing my KZbin feed waiting for this video. 😁

[@AngieBellemare]

YAY !!

[@faithwoodley6065]

I suggest living in the house with the fans. We have a cottage property with extremely high ceilings and fans in every room. In summer we reverse the fans to circulate the cold air a/c and in the Fall and Winter, we reverse it back to circulate the hot air from the fireplace and heaters. We also have "Big Ass Fans" which are phenomenal for moving air. Usually installed at airports. Love the changes to the stairs.

[@ericaunger8147]

I would keep the washer and dryer upstairs but swap out the tub for a shower and then build in the w/d next to the shower (so they aren't sitting out in the open). Or build a separate laundry room upstairs somewhere. But going all the way down to the basement with your room on the 2nd floor is going to get old fast.

[@betsysanders4524]

The house is beautiful! My only concern is the deck railings for Carl. They are big enough for him to fit through. If he gets too close, I’d have them covered with plexiglass to keep him safe while keeping those beautiful railings. I agree about waiting to see if you use the fans. Heat rises & you have really high ceilings, they may be there to push the heat down in the winter. I’m a big ceiling fan…fan (lol), so I’d always use them to circulate the air all year round.

[@arieldye544]

I love how you whisper every time you go outside!!! So cute!!! 🩷

[@erincmalley]

Angie, it’s so beautiful! That drop-off in the back is like the train station on Yellowstone! Lol full Dutton Ranch vibes. So happy for you, Andre, and Carl!

[@christineleonard8976]

I can’t wait to watch you decorate and make this house your home!

[@roycroftgirl2446]

My parents have a very similar set up with high ceilings and windows facing the lake and a loft. I agree you should wait at least a year before considering getting rid of the fans but after 30+ years in their house, my parents are very happy to have a fan circulating air into the loft. They also have very similar weather that you have.

[@dianebaker5243]

Your new home is beautiful and the landscape is amazing ❤

[@jessicapower8585]

Yay Carl is back!!! ❤❤❤ I just LOVE him!! 😊

[@kelld9102]

I am so excited for all the renovations and decorating this is my DREAM aesthetic so I will be living vicariously through you for this whole process can’t wait to see things come together !

[@JennerationOfGrace]

I'm very impressed by your enthusiasm for the master bathroom - it IS beautiful! Don't get me wrong! But I could never share a sink with my husband if not traveling 😂 he is one of those guys that leaves ALL his stuff on the counter; I'd go mad. It is such a beautiful space though, I so admire that bathtub!

[@ms_denise87]

Omg that backyard view is just 🥰🥰🥰

[@MyGWDS]

I’m about to binge all of your recent videos!!! So excited!!!

[@spalm7054]

Love, love, love the house Angie. You made a great choice and I am looking so forward to following you on your journey decorating it. About the fans in the great room, you may want to live with them awhile. I have high ceilings like you and the heat tends to go up there and the only way to get the heat below is with the fan pushing it down. You may find your loft is really warm. I am only telling you what I experienced in my own home. Congratulations on your new home, I wish you and Andre the best that life has to offer, you are such a cute couple and I love watching how excited you get. Take care and have a wonderful weekend and say hi to Carl, he is just so darn cute.

[@vixiennne8369]

I love that you show so much!! I can’t wait to see it all come together. Your eye for design is chef’s kiss with mixing your taste and keeping the integrity of this beautiful home ❤

[@jasmineseybert7569]

You deserve ALL OF THIS ❤

[@AngieBellemare]

AW THANK YOU SO MUCH !! ❤️

[@MariaMartinez_07]

I love grayish green. Reminds me of the woods with all the trees and grass I love it!

[@vanessamassacre6156]

I've never clicked this fast on a video 😂😂😂 I'm sure it's gonna be AMAZING ❤️ Even without seeing the house, I can tell you're happy and that's all that matters ❤️ hope this new year is gonna be great for you, Andre and of course, Carl ❤️

[@AngieBellemare]

Aw thank you so much ! That's so sweet !! ❤️ xoxox

[@nicolevalentine3852]

My claw foot tub is one of the reasons I bought my house I LOVE It! Mine was a weird gold so I painted the outside to match my walls. I am very jealous of your view though and peace and quiet. I may have to re think my 5 year goals.

[@nurse499]

Absolutely gorgeous! So happy for you both and cannot wait to see the angie touch on this beauty! Leave the fans! You dont need to change too much...its perfect!

[@gypsiekera]

I love everything about this house! It is so cozy and will look beautiful in all of the seasons. I am sure it’s been said, but I would definitely keep some fans. They are great for re-circulating the hot air in the winter. An antler “chandelier “ will be awesome for that one spot too. My jaw dropped when I saw that cellar! Your home is going to be the perfect spot for all of your new memories! ❤

[@alexandriacorey5941]

Beautiful and we are all so happy for you and your small family. 🥰🥰🥰

[@violetmariee95]

Sooo happy for you guys - this house is a dream. So beautiful, you are going to make it so cozy with all your decorating! Looking forward to future vlogs as you make this house a home!

[@brittanylujan9126]

What a dream!!! So excited for you all. ❤

[@AngieBellemare]

Ahhh thank you !! ❤️🙈

[@MoldyOranges095]

I just literally can’t believe this is your house 🥺 it is so magical Angie. I can’t wait to see the journey

[@mygrandislife]

I’m so happy Carl is comfortable 🥰 This is a beautiful home and the views are amazing 🥰

[@christinewarburton3024]

WOW!! Bravo 👏 beautiful home, stunning views and Carl. What more could you ask for? I'd never leave ❤ can't wait to see what you do to the place as we know how classy you are. Congratulations on your new home 😊

[@leerandall7740]

Love the tour! And that wine cellar! That would totally be one of my favorite rooms too! That will be fun stocking! The house is incredible. An absolute dream! Can't wait to see how things come together!

[@jenniferwilson3802]

Keep the fans! With your high ceilings, you can change the direction of the fan depending on the season. Hot air rises, so it should turn counter-clockwise in the summer to pull hot air up and push cool air down. And in colder seasons, set the fans to turn clockwise to push warm air down to the floors. I live in a hot climate area, so my fans are mostly in the counter-clockwise direction except for January and February. So, I know they aren't always to most amazing looking (though you can totally get better looking ones), they're really handy for helping cool/warm your home. Especially with those super high ceilings. That tub in your primary en suite... total bathroom goals for me too! I've always wanted a tub with feet and a separate shower. It's on my dream house blueprint 🥰 Love the house tour and seeing my favorite serial killer Teddy dog, Carl. Thanks for sharing your life with us, Angie!

[@Kim50fabulous]

Congratulations looking forward to taking us on your journey of making the house your home!!! ❤❤

[@EmorettaRobinson]

The house is so cute. I love the view that you have from the second floor. And Carl did such a good job exploring. He's so adorable.

[@yamashea1]

I always watch your videos but never comment but give you the 👍🏾!! I must say this house and property is everything! I absolutely love this for you guys and can’t wait to see everything come together!!

[@kathleenmiller8501]

Congratulations, your house is gorgeous & you both deserve it so much. My parents have a very similar house but in central Illinois, so the fans in the loft are 100% necessary there. The filling between logs is called chinking, really old log houses would remove in the summer for air flow & put back in winter for insulation.

[@heatherd5466]

In the spring when all the trees have new bright green leaves that view down at the dock will be epic!!

[@nickid5889]

Um…DREAMY!!! You only need to put a Snow White dress on and all of the cutie creatures from the forest will flock to you!! It’s gorgeous 💕 I’d say, leave the fans…they go well and will keep your airflow through out the house, especially the loft, comfortable. I shore the accommodations for Carl♥️

[@ziggy33399]

I know, I know! It’s SO WELL BUILT! The whole thing is thoughtful.

[@edenbell2459]

That wine cellar is STUNNING!!!!! WOW love the rocks! haha

[@justmejacque]

The house is soooo beautiful. I would live in it for about a year and see what you use and love and then change it but it is really beautiful and very well built. You guys made a very good choice Angie 😊.

[@debbiec6216]

*Angie* Something you might want to think about , totally up to you . I have noticed families having "washer and dryer " on each floor, where you don't have to be hauling. laundry from one floor to another. Enjoyed watching your home tour .

[@krystenburkhardt-hansyn]

I wouldn’t change a thing. The flooring is stunning. Everything is perfect. It’s million dollar home.

[@kevinwilliams7070]

Wow how lucky are you guys your fabulous house in disney and this country home.looking forward to seeing how you decorate and also the grounds around the house.❤

[@debbiegordon7622]

Oh Angie the house is breathtaking..The views is gorgeous..I live in Maine in the country and nothing is quite likr it i love it, so quiet, peaceful and just surreal .We have a little cabin on iur property that my sister and i are going to make it over to a little log house .

[@maxinesealey8927]

Beautiful. Angie here are some ideas that popped in my head. On the wine cellar door I would get a etched glass with grapes or something representing that it is a wine room. The barrel table is a good idea, but I also would get a small round table with two chairs. This is just a idea. ❤

[@shirleydunn8050]

What a stunning house- the views & the wine cellar! Although you were upset at the time to loose the other house , everything happens for a reason & I can’t imagine it could have been as beautiful as this.

[@christinahaythorne3633]

I love the room you are using for your office! All the decks are beautiful! The wine celler is phenomenal and so unique and the storage wow I'm so jealous!

[@tinaspence3806]

You have the perfect Canadian country chic home! Absolutely perfect and the snow around the property.....total vibe! Love it❤

[@dulcefernandez4637]

Wow Angie the house is so big and spacious. You definitely have lots of storage which is amazing. Can’t wait to see all the changes and your house all furnished,it’s going to look amazing and gorgeous. Tfs. ❤❤❤

[@alegrcs3]

You have a beautiful property. I cannot wait to find a piece of land with view of the smokies. Congrats!

[@lindagallacher2187]

What a beautiful house! The workmanship is outstanding. Agree with you about waiting a year before changing some things to see if what's there works for you. ❤

[@happycat8657]

Definitely keep the fans! We use ours to push down the heat from the fireplace and in the summer it is a must! Your house gives Disney Wilderness Lodge vibes ❤

[@Wildmindsgrow]

The views are epic!!! I love all the log accents in your walls! Gorgeous❤️

[@FIFIKRIS]

Omg so many things that I would do to this house!!! Love it. I love the idea of the arch for the kitchen

[@jeannettedickey7602]

Throw a couple rocks from dock onto the frozen lake, kinda like your going to skip them, the noise that comes from it is soo cool!!

[@carrollgirl547]

Absolutely beautiful. Carl is the cutest hopping up the stairs.

[@jenjim1999]

The house and the surrounding land are all just gorgeous Angie!! The peace and quiet would be so nice! So happy for you guys!

[@AAj5151984]

So pretty. We have a craftsman lodge, that throws me with updating sometimes, so I'm very excited to see your ideas on here. If it were my lodge, I'd change the fans to an air wave minka wood design, so they blend into that beautiful ceiling a bit more, and look like an extension of the wood work, versus an 80's functionality celling fan. But the warm air flow in the winter is priceless. Good luck and God bless you two!

[@meaganpearce9054]

Yes, yes, yes! to all your ideas yes! make that kitchen big and pop. You could make the formal dining room in the 4 season room for when you need it to be one :)

[@duckburgduckworth512]

Angie, you are glowing. So happy for you, Andre & Carl.

[@deborahmartin1432]

Love the house tour and love all the snow. And Carl is doing so good.

[@ReneeGaud]

It is a tureen that your parents got you. It is beautiful and so is your new home. Congratulations to you both!! I can't wait to see it over the next year w/ your changes and furniture.

[@shaynec3833]

So so happy for you guys!!! What a BEAUTIFUL house!!! ❤

[@AngieBellemare]

Aw thank you so much !!

[@marissalafleur6342]

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing! So happy for you all!!!! LOVE the cabin vibes!!!

[@tarynjimison7889]

Holy cow the size of this house is so amazing I don’t know if I’d ever leave.

[@teenafrench7236]

Thanks for the tour Angie...this is my fourth video I've seen of the new house ..and I'm still super happy for you, Carl and Andre🎉❤🙏

[@marys3025]

Beautiful property. I love the lake. Congratulations! 🎉

[@ilisle3653]

If you’re tv in bed people you could do a drop down screen from the ceiling. If you wanna watch it’s down, if not it disappears. Existing location of tv on side wall not realist for viewing from bed until you use a tilting wall mount. Personal preference but I’m not a fan. You could free that wall up for some other idea.

[@TheVictorianHours]

Angie I am obsessed with your new house!!!! I’ve been catching up on your videos in order and I’ve been watching on my tv so I forget to comment, but wow this house is stunning and I love the privacy you have here!!! It’s so nice you feel safe there too. This house is goals!! I can’t wait to see everything you do with it!! 💕🎄

[@Huda-yl9tg]

Congratulations on your beautiful home.

[@Sera-R]

Your house is stunning! Definitely well deserved! Wishing you and Andre a very long, healthy, and happy life there!!!

[@nancymillan2447]

😊Wow Angie what an amazing place to live in. That is a true blessing to find such a wonderful house!! I love all your ideas too!!! Thank you for the whole tour. I just love hearing the sound of the snow crunching!!! I miss that snow much. Lol. I’m in Florida and wish I could move back to the four seasons!!! God bless you guys in your new home!!! Happy Friday!!! ❤

[@mamazeno1672]

Angie I was just watching the you tuber Dantier and Balogh Design Studio. All I could think of was your home to do these decorating styles in. Her video today was on Living in the Forest and Dark Cottage core,Green Natural Decor. Worth watching for ideas.

[@sarahdorans1561]

Oh guys what a house! So many gorgeous spaces for you to make your own. It truly is just beautiful. All your hard work has 100% paid off ❤
