[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you thank you!!! Decorating is my favoriteeeee! I’m so excited to decorate for fall already 😂

[@AllisonMcPhail]

!!! I love seeing how you really made this place your home! Most of the time I see people saying they're not gonna hang things on the walls because they're moving out in a year or two, but I love that you went for it!

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes! We’re here for three years so I figured might as well ☺️

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes! We’re here for three years so I figured might as well ☺️

[@AllisonMcPhail]

Ashley Sarvak it gave me a ton of inspo for our next place! We’ll be moving in a couple months (hopefully) and we’ll be stationed there for 3 years too!

[@AlohaAmy]

You have the most amazing decor style! I love your home! It’s so cosy and welcoming! The welcome at the beginning was adorable and your sons room is so sweet, The wall is brilliant! 🥰

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@TheElevatedHome]

I had to watch o silent as it is currently 4a but I’m obsessing over your aesthetic. And that shower curtain is adorable!!

[@DinaDeng.]

WOW you have a really good taste in interior designing LOVED THIS AND GAVE ME GOOD IDEA'S

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@TheElevatedHome]

Omg and your son is so stinking cute! I love that you actually put up family pics. I really need to get better about printing and displaying those.

[@AshleySarvak]

Oh thank you!! He’s the best haha! I actually feel like I’m awful at putting pictures up! I have a ton of empty frames and I need more recent pictures to put in them hahaha

[@sierraguenard9069]

Beautiful! You could turn the desk into a coffee bar!

[@AshleySarvak]

I’ll have to try that! I just wasn’t sure since it’s so much lower than the counters I thought it might look weird??

[@MeganRicica]

I love your style so much. You have a beautiful home! Your son is the cutest too! I totally missed the memo that you’re a military family! My husband is in the National Guard full time.

[@AshleySarvak]

Oh no way I had no idea! Mines active duty Marines!

[@texasgirl217]

Whoever put a thumbs down is so lame because this is really hard working and patience . I love this ❤️

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@justbeingdaisy]

That desk you could use as a coffee bar!

[@maggierich9394]

Use that desk for a coffee bar!!!!!!!! It’s perfect omg

[@MyPrettyEverything]

I love how you decorated your house! Your kitchen is so beautiful!😍 Also love your son's bedroom, so cute!✨

[@AshleySarvak]

[@thingsilike618]

Loved this. I was born at Ft. Lee, in the late 60s My Dad was a Master Sergeant.

[@kaitytainer]

It's so adorable! I love your little dining area.

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you!

[@EMMALEEANNE]

Ugh!! GOALS!! I love how you decorated the place. ❤️❤️

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much! I’m pretty happy with how everything came out! 😍

[@EMMALEEANNE]

Ashley Sarvak I wish I was good at decorating lol! But watching this inspired me! ❤️

[@AshleySarvak]

Pinterest! I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from there :)

[@sportygirl607]

OMG LOVE that mural!!! The whole house is so cute but your son's room is the cutest thing ever!!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you 🥰

[@motherhoodwithmonica5094]

It would look so cute if you put baskets in the bottom row of the open cabinets! Could you link what you used for the counter tops?!

[@AmandaClaypool]

Your house looks awesome!!! I cannot wait to come visit!

[@AshleySarvak]

I can’t wait either!!!🙌🏼

[@MissNea91]

So cute! Especially baby boy’s room! 😍 Gives me hope that I can make this military rental better. ❤️🙌🏾

[@vanessacanas9274]

This is amazing, you did a great job! We're moving to Fort Lee next month and this was very helpful. My husband is a marine too, thank you for sharing!

[@AshleySarvak]

Oh nice! Good luck with your move & Welcome! 💗

[@vanessacanas9274]

Ashley Sarvak thank you!

I'm obsessed with your home!! So cute and cozy!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you!!!🥰❤️

[@alliedesilets]

I LOVE your style and aesthetic! So pretty😊

[@paigepapineau922]

loveeee how you decorated! my husband is in the navy and base housing can be so tricky sometimes

[@AshleySarvak]

Thanks so much! And yes I totally agree, especially with the weird layouts that all base housing has haha

[@baylipalacios7848]

Our navy housing layout it so awkward 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ there is no space

[@onasilverbudget4245]

You are very talented. Love the mural in your son’s room. Beautiful home. You and your husband did a great job.👏 New subscriber.

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much!🤗

[@PrettyPlusandProud]

Your house is lovely! Super cozy and inviting!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you 😊

[@courtneylane1066]

such a stunning house, you really do have a great eye!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thanks so much! 🤗🥰

[@builtbyteamhatch]

Super cute! Love your style!

[@alysakalter3329]

Love what you did with the space! How did you get approved for having more than 2 pets on base? My husband is re-enlisting from the Reserves to active duty and we're looking at living on base but we have a dog and 2 cats and were told only 2 pets are allowed on base.

[@AshleySarvak]

It depends on each base but here we are allowed to have three!

[@alysakalter3329]

@@AshleySarvak Good to know, thank you!!

[@brittaniharden9008]

I was literally fixing to ask about this lol

[@rachelwkau]

omgsh home decor GOALS!! :)

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you!🤗💗

[@RebekkaNorcross]

Omg you house is beautiful and beautifully decorated 💙

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much!!!☺️💗

[@christamorales9462]

Love your video!! This gave me hope for when my husband & I move. Since most home bases are so outdated, this made me happy to see how you made it your own 🥰 were you able to paint freely? Or is their restrictions & do you have to notify anyone??

[@AshleySarvak]

We just let housing know we would be painting! We just have to paint it back when we leave 😊 which has been pretty much the same rule every base we’ve lived so far!

[@christamorales9462]

Awesome! Thank you so much for responding 😊 is it the same with the removable wallpaper & counter?

[@abbyemc16]

For the desk maybe a coffee bar or hot cocoa bar when it gets colder. The government stopped the electricity program due to how the houses are wired.

[@Yukesmail]

Omg I live in the military housing too your house is beautiful!!!!!

[@keinohrtini]

I love your style! So cute!!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jeffreycrawford4433]

Love this!!!

[@ainssaniel4374]

I loved this! Definitely got some ideas for our own base house! These white walls can be difficult to fill!

[@ashleycarey4143]

This is awesome and I love your sons room!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much!

[@alexiasimiskey9651]

Hi, I loved this vid and your decor style :) I was wondering how y’all move everything from home to home?

[@AshleySarvak]

We chose to have the military move our things for us 🙂

[@melm2740]

Amazing ideas, sweet homely, thank you for sharing, handy lady 🏡❤

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much 💕

[@shooglechic]

*Has a less is more surrounded by a lot more* and honestly, that's never been more accurate for military life. I really am wishing with the weight limit so low for a family of five didn't exist. I have five totes of uniforms I need to donate from myself, let alone my husband's.

[@karlassweetlife]

Love your decor girl! 😍

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you! 🥰

[@crystalloeber9025]

Turn your desk into a coffee and dessert bar.

[@Lea2008-k8b]

Can you do a vlog on how you stained your dining room table. It is beautiful

[@brookeb4966]

Did the contact paper and removable wallpaper come off easily when you moved out?

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes! Just used a blow dryer to heat it up as I took it off and it peeled off no problem!

[@tracilinn9932]

Hey love your home. Quick question, my husband and I are in our early 30s and we are planning on him joining the navy. For all military base housing it says 2 pets only but we have 2 cats and a small dog. Is this something that’s flexible or is it because you’ve maybe been in for a while? Any tips and help would be so appreciated

[@autumnflaten4407]

I was a military brat growing up and my Dad had 3 cats in the house

[@hellobeauties9257]

Wow i liked your video right away. You are gorgeous love your style supper nice. Your boy supper cute. Yes contact paper saved my life too also in a rental. Loved your video hope we can support eachother.

[@Boho_Plans]

Love the house tour!! We're getting settled in at Ft Lee as well. (Side note) I've noticed people saying post or base as well. Same difference I guess 😊

[@AshleySarvak]

Oh nice! I hope you like it here so far! 🤗

[@gwenhalfpenny2429]

I just saw your video for the first time not sure if you did anything with that desk yet but if not do crafts with your son there do buckets with crayons and markers and you can paint there also

[@jacquelineortega2437]

I love your table but since y’all are military and constantly moving how do you plan in taking your table?

[@AshleySarvak]

It’s able to be taken apart 🙂

[@1tinac]

Great decorating ... Think positive.

[@jocelyngarcia9215]

New subbie ❤️ not sure if you’ll see this ! which floor plan this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m like so in love with your decor ❤️

[@dejaparker701]

My son and I will be moving there come December and I would loveee your advice 😭

[@AshleySarvak]

Hey! What do you need advice on?🥰

[@jontajackson]

I live in military housing too! It’s difficult to make the house look well decorated. I love the counters, is the paper easy to remove ?

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes, comes right off!

[@jontajackson]

Yay I’ll have to try it!

[@CWdudeyo]

I really want to know where you get your rugs 😁

[@crystalloeber9025]

You need to make the desk your coffee/drinks bar.

[@kristinmccoy3334]

Use the desk area for a coffee bar!!!

[@AshleySarvak]

I actually am now! ☺️

[@kristinmccoy3334]

Yay!! I’m sure it’s so cute! Love your house

[@peekab0obaby]

Make a coffee bar out of the desk area you don’t use

[@AshleySarvak]

I actually have!!

[@cassandrakellycree5980]

Your home is beautiful and Anna Kendrick sounds so much like you. ❤️

[@AshleySarvak]

Oh I love her!! Thank you ☺️

[@tal23-tanika3]

Beautiful home. Great job!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much!

[@kcmarie3774]

Girl you nailed it with the contact paper!! Looks amazing!

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@celynamez]

Are you planning on getting your own house soon?

[@AshleySarvak]

No not for a while!

[@mamaneedsagrande]

What layout/floor plan is that? And to have such a beautiful home I’m surprised none of your furniture got destroyed lol. Every time we PCS something breaks 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@AshleySarvak]

I have no idea what floor plan we are! We are a one story house in Madison park though :)! And we aren’t always lucky haha our first PCS from Hawaii we had over half our things destroyed because of mold 😂

[@mamaneedsagrande]

Ashley Sarvak girl we moved to Hawaii from Ft Bragg and most of our stuff was broken. We had to refurnish the whole house smh

[@ElizabethDavisVlogs]

Dying over your house 😍😍😍😍🤩

[@AshleySarvak]

Thank you so much 🥰😍

[@2DeineMutter2]

I have that same TV stand! Lol

[@celynamez]

Kitchen is interesting!

[@Ashleypalomo]

Hi new subscriber 🥰 I love your decor and the way your channel is setup if that makes sense, were a military family too we were stationed in Camp Lejeune and now were in Japan 😍 your channel just popped up and I couldn’t believe it because I never find channels like yours!! I have a KZbin channel too if you would like to check it out, also that empty counter space you can use it as a coffee bar space with a tier tray on the corner of it, if you’re not following Sparklyblonde1 here go watch her videos she has a counter space like yours and is always decorating it it’s her coffee bar maybe you’ll get inspired 😍😍

[@MichiannaVIDZ]

Do you mind telling me what neighborhood is this? I’m trying to see the best options. There is not a lot of pictures or videos available of Fort Lee housing. Thank you!

[@AshleySarvak]

We’re Madison Park!

[@LALNDJP]

@@AshleySarvak is Madison Park for E1-E5?

[@TheDailyDoseofSarahO]

Your house is so cute girlie!!

[@baylipalacios7848]

Lighting in housing sucks! I had to change it. We are in off base housing with Lincoln

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes we literally had to change out almost all of our bulbs because it was like candle light in each room literally 😩😂

[@kyrstitam2209]

i loveee your decor! just found your channel, new subbie here, would love to support each other. your thumbnails etc. are so on point, you deserve so many more subs!

Can you tag the subway tile wallpaper and the contact paper for the counters

And here's what I used on my counters, I couldn't find the same color/pattern online but this is the same type and brand that I used. If you look in store you can find this near the kitchen items with shelf liners! www.walmart.com/ip/EasyLiner-Adhesive-Laminate-20-In-x-15-Ft-Shelf-Liner-Gray-Marble/775005615

your home decor is amazing and I love your son room wow. Did you do all the decor in your living room and son's room?

[@AshleySarvak]

Yes!☺️

[@KMYACANIECE]

Also how much paper ?

[@AshleySarvak]

Do you mean how much did I need or how much did it cost?

[@theyluvslime3159]

You should be an interior designers

[@emmabarua]

Your house is so dreamy and aesthetic✨💗 keep up the good work 💘I just subbed hoping we can support each other 🥰

[@LivingInElysium]

Panes. They are called window panes.

[@AshleySarvak]

Cool, no reason to be rude. Literally meant I didn’t know if there was a certain name for them being used as decor. They’re called window frames not panes, panes are the glass pieces inside of windows.

[@jasmintyler8381]

What housing is this?

[@AshleySarvak]

Madison Park

[@jasmintyler8381]

Thank you so much!!! We are currently getting station to fort lee I wish it viewed the homes! Nice decor btw!!

[@AshleySarvak]

Welcome!! And yes I hated not being able to see what the houses actually looked like! And thank you!

[@jasmintyler8381]

Do you think that Madison park is the best housing in fort lee? In your opinion?

[@amynunezr]

your so cute and love ur editing! i’m a new subb! hope we can support eachother

[@carolfolger-brown6340]

Why is it that all you ladies decorate with the place it was purchased and the price of everything? Is it a contest? Does look nice, but too much stuff on walls.

[@AshleySarvak]

A contest? It’s because people ask where everything is from.

[@TheEbonySheree]

You are an amazing decorator! You should be a stager! I really love your style! #YTGirls

Thank you girl! 😍😭
