EMPTY HOUSE TOUR 2022 // our new house!!!!

[@iheartmakeup23]

A buffet table would be great in place of the desk! Especially since you were thinking dining room table in the old “playroom”!

[@chrisdesroches8268]

Wow, What an awesome house, so much "scope for the imagination" and many small projects for update and renewal. Love the storage space and as a teacher, that is golden. Congratulations to you and Michael. Many happy years to you and your family. Cheers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[@shaggydog1952]

The STORAGE is my favorite! Blessings to you and your family!

[@KellySpadini]

The dining room area next to the living room would be another great play space for Jordan! 😊 and just get some fun pillows for that couch!

[@catabreanrussell9251]

The backyard is awesome! So much potential to make the whole house even better with tiny touches.

[@mariahl.2052]

I always get sad when people take out historical accents, but people all have their own taste and I’m very excited for you!

[@crystalvelez8862]

I made it to the end ☺ my favorite part was the backyard and bar

[@natmichelle]

Your new home is gorgeous! I think I liked the kitchen best! Emma, be sure to at least save 1 of those original to the house doors. Could be worth money some day! They don’t make them the same now!

[@iheartmakeup23]

Clearly I have too many comments today lol one more thing: I feel like the under the stair storage in the basement would be so perfect for toy rotation (if you plan to do that with Jordan as she gets bigger). We love rotating toys every week or two. We have so many that’s it’s nice to not have allllll the toys out at the same time 😀

[@emmagracejoens]

Yes we’re definitely doing a toy rotation, that will be the perfect spot!!

[@Mariellamensah]

Congrats on your new house. It is so beautiful. I love the size of your backyard. Wow! Also, for the couch in the basement, you can get a couch cover so you won’t have to deal with the brown 😊

[@eleanorjones26407]

My favorite part was probably the mudroom though I do just love all the space you have in general. I can totally see you making the best of that space for years to come. I also can't wait to see the paint colors you choose. I'm sure those will make a big difference :)

[@kait0531]

Favorite part: all of the storage!! Super jealous.

[@theasianjenn]

I just started watching your videos a few days ago, and I’m so glad that I found your channel! I absolutely love just the sheer square footage of your house! Congrats! 😆

[@hannahbear327]

At first I thought the wet bar was tile and really liked it... until I saw the close-up. Maybe you could just paint over it so it would look like tile instead?

[@rubypilossian744]

Congratulations on your new house!! Loved how excited you were while filming. My favourite is the storage!!!!

[@christinamarie3374]

The part where Michael was showing the basement and you said “are you opening the door?” I love how realistic this moment is. KZbin is mostly scripted and videos always flow “smoothly” I appreciate you guys being so normal on camera! I’m so pumped to see what you do with your house!! So much space to work with!! 🥰 I would be so anxious to get it all done right away too! lol

[@emmagracejoens]

🥰

[@ritabarnes2440]

Love it! I love the shiplap but I know we don’t all love the same things. Beautiful fireplace… love, love a fireplace. The basement is just wonderful! I am so happy for you all! The back yard is amazing! The Lord has certainly blessed you!

[@marykenney8722]

EMMA! Oh my gosh this house is a dream. God gives such good gifts to those who wait on Him! It’s encouraging to watch this and see how faithful God has been to your family. I think one of my favorite parts of the house is the kitchen - there’s so much room and I can already imagine the beautiful ideas you have for it! I love that your family will get to flourish here. So so so stoked for y’all 🤍

[@Earlyyearsinthebluffs]

I am soooo excited for you all!!!! I love your backyard and all your new projects that you will be doing….. Congratulations my friend!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@catsgaming1113]

I love this house! It’s so big! I also like the shiplack on the walls.

[@emilybyrne0121]

Wow it's so beautiful! Does it change your commute to work at all? I personally think the bottle caps for the bar is cute in theory for more like entertainers or a bachelor pad😂 LOVE the storage in the walk in closet and the yard!😍

[@georginavallas2073]

The back garden is lovely I would love a big home like yours . in the UK most of the houses are small no basement over here lol good luck in your new home 🏡 🍾💐xxx Gina 🇬🇧

[@catie7466]

it's so beautiful, congrats!! i laughed out loud at the green wall with motivational quotes omg ew lol but i love your vision of the whole house!! im excited to see how it all comes together :)

[@AllThingsCherie2024]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is a fantastic home!!! So excited for you all!! God Bless!!

[@danielav114]

My favorite part is the backyard, it’s huge and perfect for kids! The room next to the living room can be made into a play room or an office. That way you have an extra guest room

[@heatherwonders6369]

I love the bottle caps in the wet bar! I really think that would be worth something!!

[@mrs.jessicaelaineholmes2137]

I looovvve the backyard and the big windows!! So fun😊

[@MichouBeauty]

wow the living room area would be so great with like a play area at the back since it's so big? beautiful home

[@MichouBeauty]

actually the place you wanted to be her play area is perfect

[@sierraaa_]

Not completely sure but I’ve seen some people get couch covers, so if you found one of those that fit that couch & in a color you liked better- that would be a great solution

[@faythgessner1525]

The backyard is so cool and I'm OBSESSED with that finished basement (excluding the green, yellow, and bottle caps lol) So happy you've found your forever home for your family! :)

[@dmbalsam]

Look into custom made slip covers for the brown couch

[@kathleenjusko4046]

I'm sure you could probably find some sort of etsy shop or something to make a cover for the couch in your basement to at least make it the color you would like!

[@emmagracejoens]

Good idea!!

[@princessplaydolls9887]

the first one Emma you are sooooooooooooo Nice and your videos make me be a teacher

[@michellepoe761]

I love how big your backyard is. That is going to be amazing for a little swing set for Jordon! I also LOVE the fire pit! Congratulations on your new home.

[@camrynmae2329]

For that empty space in your living room you don’t know what to do with you could put a wall up there and put some barn doors and make it a play room!!

[@iheartmakeup23]

In Jordan’s new room: I recommend getting more of the ikea spice rack (that’s what they sell them as) for her books! I noticed they already had one of them they left in her room. We have 6 of them in each of my kids rooms going up the wall. They are so perfect for kids books!

[@ClarissaA18]

What a wonderful house with a lot of potential. The basement and storage room is AMAZING. And the backyard - with a porch, fire pit, no neighbors behind you??? So excited for y'all! I so respect your reasoning behind keeping the couch in the basement. Not the ~vibe~, but it's FREE, and it's there. I'm pumped for the rest of the house content!

[@emmagracejoens]

Thank you!!!

[@molly.stevens.1228]

Loving the lifestyle content! So excited for you guys! That basement tho 🙌

[@wendlit]

So excited for you all! It’s an amazing house! ❤️👏👍

[@kaylaw6737]

in the other part of the living room I would make that a play room for baby girl. where that desk a pretty hutch or buffet to store extra plates, holiday things would be good to store in one of them. buffet piece would be probably better. and pretty mirror over the buffet

[@joytimmerman6185]

Beautiful home! Look forward to seeing you grow and change!

[@dreamtraveldisney]

Absolutely love your new house! 💛 I can’t wait for all the house content! I can’t wait to see what you change and how you decorate to turn it into your home! My favorite part of your new house is all the space you have to create functional spaces!

[@emmagracejoens]

Thanks girl!💛

[@laurarahz12]

Perfect house for you guys!!! God is good!!❤

[@meganbarto4138]

I love your new home! The room with fireplace is beautiful and the finished basement and outdoor space. Congratulations!

[@lifewithmrsleet3708]

What a BEAUTIFUL house! So many great parts. The fact that it’s 3.5 baths has to be my fav. That’s incredible. Not sure if this is too personal of a video idea but I would love to hear how you went about saving for a house of this size on a teachers salary (and your husbands also lol). So so happy for you!

[@emmagracejoens]

Michael makes more than I do as a teacher but a lot of our saving comes from KZbin to be honest! My KZbin income goes straight to savings and that helps us build it up over time. 😊💛

[@terrificintk]

The whole house is amazing! So much space for you guys to live and grow. I’m super jealous of the storage room! Blessings on your new home!! ☺️

[@cassidyjade]

You and your family are so deserving of this beautiful home! The Lord is so good! Congratulations! 🤍

[@dmbalsam]

Great back patio!

[@kimberlywright9377]

You have a beautiful home - Congratulations!🎉🎊🍾🎈

[@lesliequiroz1533]

Wow!! Such an amazing house, congratulations!

[@madelinekiefer]

Love where all the natural light can come in! Have fun putting your new spaces together!

[@paigesmith3812]

Such a nice house! I recommend making the “dining” part of the living room a sitting area with hidden toy storage as a play area for Jordan. We have a basement playroom as well, but also use a part of the living room as a play area because our 3.5 yr old is just now getting to where he will go to the playroom without us. It will be nice to have a play section of the room for when you are in the kitchen or main living area doing things.

[@catsgaming1113]

Great idea!

[@eileenreynolds266]

Beautiful house and yard! There is one thing you need, especially with your massive storage room - a cat. I don't know if Ellie likes kitties, or if you are cat people, but we live in NW Missouri, and we have loads of mice in the area. Our cats were the first "people" that moved into our house, and they were busy! Though you do have to make sure that the previous owners didn't leave mouse poison anywhere in the house or storage shed, and that there isn't any antifreeze on the floor.

[@emmagracejoens]

Oh I have already added mouse traps to my shopping list🫠 Jordan is obsessed with cats!

[@aileengale9316]

Storage!!!!😍😍🤩🤩😍

[@dassyjadan8638]

Thats a great house!! Very beautiful! God Bless❤

[@cynthialopez4544]

Love the house, pray you make the best memories.❤🎉

[@katelynabshire7163]

In a similar season of life of outgrowing our first little home and looking forward to the day the Lord places a new space in our lap as well ♥️ What a blessing He has provided you and your sweet family. Such relatable content - looking forward to the upcoming vlogs!

[@michelle459]

Congratulations on your new home!!

[@gardeningismypassion8262]

Love the house! And the finished basement is big and nice. I have a huge unfinished basement which is nice but finished puts the icing on the cake. Backyard is roomy and nice too.

[@misstraciarichards2056]

Congratulations to you guys on your home it is very beautiful🎉🎉🎉

[@malissac7966]

Yay! Congratulations!

[@laurencunningham1998]

Can’t wait to see what you do to the place! 🎉

[@dailylifemom1046]

everything the house is amazing

[@thatchestnutmare6630]

Sooo exited for you! I love the colour of the outside of the house!❤

[@tvd991]

what an absolutely beautiful home, Emma! congrats! I'm loving that basement! What amazing potential (and all that storage! 😍)

[@jessicakasten7101]

your basement and backyard are amazing!

[@stephaniemccann6493]

Congrats! I can't wait to watch all the new memories you make in this beautiful new house. I love the "dining room" with the big windows. Enjoy the journey.

[@emmagracejoens]

Thank you🥰

[@terpcsmith]

Wow! Congratulations. You got a really nice house! I can't wait to see next week's video and also to see the changes you will eventually make. There is so much room and potential and space to grow into. I had an idea for a temporary fix for the wet bar...was to paint over the bottle caps, like a grey/stone or even another color. The caps will give it dimension and almost make it look like a cool backsplash. Also, if you need another room later on for future kids you could always move the office to the previous tenets' dining room space. Or you could close that area off to make another bedroom/office. The basement storage area is huge! Wow. I love all of it! Whoop!

[@tissosweet7606]

Such a great home that you all can continue to grow into❣️My favorite part is the backyard ☺️!! You all will really enjoy having all that space and the fence is wonderful! Blessings 😇.

[@woogiedoodle]

The house looks amazing! The mud room looks so cute :) You sound so happy and I’m super excited for what the house will become! Congratulations 🎉

[@emmagracejoens]

Thank you!☺️

[@jilliangossard1318]

I love this house😭😭💜💜 I’m so happy for you guys! My favorite part is the living room and dining room area. There is so much light! I love it🥰

[@emmagracejoens]

Yes I looove all the light!!

[@catworld8119]

The entire house is great. You have so much more space now and storage space too. I thought that fireplace with the stone look was very nice. You may be able to have the couch reupholstered, you could look into it. Congratulations and may you enjoy the process of making this YOUR space.

[@ruby56789]

oh my goodness, Emma. this house is BEAUTIFUL and so perfect for your family! I'm all giddy and excited for y'all to get settled and make all the changes you want. I'm totally jealous! huge congratulations to you, Michael, and Jordan 💗

[@emmagracejoens]

Oh thank you!🥹💛

[@eeeeeeee60]

Omg when I first saw the bar I thought "oh, polka dots, that's an interesting choice for a manly wet bar" and then you zoomed in 😭 your silence spoke VOLUMES 🤣❤️

[@eeeeeeee60]

I love the shiplap, I'm a shiplap groupie - it just adds so much texture without taking up any floor space!

[@emmagracejoens]

😂😂😂

[@kristadoubek2813]

you might be able to get new covers for the couch

[@teachloveinspire561]

Love your new house! Congrats on this amazing new home! My favorite part is the basement and the backyard! Ellie is going to have so much fun enjoying her new backyard and house, as is Jo :)

[@lynngarbacz3346]

What a great house! I can see that you will make it a home for you and your family. My favorite part was when I believe you said you prayed through the house. ❤

[@emmagracejoens]

Yes it’s the first thing we always do!💛

[@leahphanmanee9703]

Your backyard!!!!!

[@TeachingChronicleswithMrs.S]

I love your new home

[@rachellehaarer9837]

Your house is amazing! I'm so excited for you guys! I think your closet is my favorite! The wet bar and pool table is a fun add along with the back yard! 😍 Oh and storage makes or breaks a house for sure!!

[@iheartmakeup23]

We have the same situation w our basement couch! But it’s red 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s a great sectional and comfortable but I hate the color lol

[@mycircusmymonkeys7867]
