EMPTY HOUSE TOUR! Vlog - Over 50

[@cathy4246]

The house looks so lovely. You don't need a larger house where you will be cleaning more and accumulating unnecessary items. This one looks perfect. Home blessings to you.

[@lynnbaity7762]

Did I miss the living room? Check the local (if any) Antique Malls. My son & I have booths in 5 Antique malls in NC. You might find items that you like. Most have furniture, tables/chairs, candles, plant stands, great stuff and one of a kind items. So glad the fur babies are doing good. And so delighted you are loving our South! Love your videos and looking forward to more. Show us your back yard too.

[@amkvisser]

I am so excited to follow along on your new adventure. Glad that the three of you arrived safe and sound. Sounds like a fun day/time ahead! Enjoy! 💓

[@gennyolson2257]

Here's an idea for your bathroom. You can do an over the toilet cabinet. Where you could keep all your skin care. Or more storage.

[@kimberdawn4424]

Kimberly, I call my bathroom, my "sanctuary". I can relax in my tub, light my candles, put in my Dr Teals Lavendar and Melatonin bath salts with some olive oil and sweet almond oil and veg with my calm/relaxing music playing. I wouldn't trade my nightly sanctuary ritual for anything. Everyone around me, including my furbabies, know, that is "Mom Time" and "Do NOT Disturb". Lol😉 Your new home is just precious ❤️. I can't wait to see what you do with your new space. I may get some ideas from you. I've been an empty nester for 3 years and looking to converting my youngest daughter's room into my "Havenly Hideaway". This will also be my meditation/self reflection room. You've had quite the journey. I hope all goes well furnishing your new place. Keep us updated. Love ya, KIMBER (Your Austin, Texas Sister in Beauty)🤗😘🥰👄💞👄

[@elizabethmaloneorlando217]

Kimberly I know you will turn this house into a home for you & your fur babies. I have two ideas for the issue with the breaker box in your bedroom. Idea # 1: place a free standing mirror over it, idea # 2: if your going to use a curtain rod above the window as close to the ceiling as possible to make the ceilings appear taller since the room isn't the largest bedroom, but that's ok because it's just for sleeping anyway I digress, just extend one of those half curtain rods above the breaker box & add just one panel & it will appear that you have another window. I hope that makes sense. It was so good seeing you, TFS your journey with us. Lucy looks so happy, wagging her tail & Dex is loving his windows. 🌻🌹🌷

[@queens6583]

The house may be on the small side but it's lovely and I'm sure you'll make it special and functional. BTW, today I saw Jo Good aka MiddleAged Minx mentioned that one of her Subscribers told her about you Kimberly ( that was me) and now she loves you too. Plus I saw one of the people who follow you went to her channel and she was thrilled. Women supporting women is a wonderful thing! Looking forward to the decorating, especially the Zen room.

[@jhwwebster7273]

A wall of peel and stick wallpaper that covers the ugly panel as well could be a good disguise!

[@TheCottagequilter]

Kimberly I am so glad you didn’t give up you channel , but added to it with new adventures!

[@SandraDeAmicis]

You can change the blades on the fan.

[@nancymccarver1614]

New adventures can be exhausting, but so very exciting! Everything looks lovely. If you’ve never used a curved shower curtain rod before, they are SO worth it! Adds much more room to the shower and no drilling required.

[@mlwelter]

Love my curved rod!

[@kimberdawn4424]

Lowe's has a couple of good quality curved shower curtain rods, too.

[@stygia2002]

Omigosh your kitty totally photobombed your video…I love it! Thank you for sharing your adventure 💜

[@aellscoop]

Don’t know if you will read this suggestion but your fuse box problem is easily remedied by painting the fuse box the same color as your wall and using a tall faux plant or real if you like in that corner. Also a really good idea for giving yourself more towel storage inside the bathroom and is a beautiful way to decorate would be to find a towel rack that tiers downwards with small to large rolled towel that fit into the arms of the metal that reaches out to hold the towels. Wish I had a picture but I’ve bought these racks for tight places in bathrooms and it solves the decorating and function issues. Hope you can figure out what I’m talking about. Good luck, looks like a great adventure!!!

[@lawyerlady95]

What a lovely home Kimberly! So many great possibilities for furnishing and decorating it. You’re such a brave lady and so inspirational! Blessings to you and your fur babies ☺️🙏🏽❤️. May your new home bring you happiness, peace and comfort! 💐

[@doreenk2630]

Buy a plain canvas frame that is a bit bigger than the electrical panel, paint it the wall color and then hang over the panel. Easy access when needed and blends in. Enjoying your videos - thank you.

[@tracydeupree3165]

Do curtains in the corner and make it look like there is a matching window where the breaker box is!

[@colleenburnham7840]

Looks like you have your hands full. I just spent the last 2 years getting settled in my new life. After 30 years of a marriage that was quickly draining me of living a life of happiness and joy. I grabbed what little I took when I walked out, and got on a plane anf flew from MA to Floridia . I haven't looked back. I have followed you for a few years. I like your style. Oh and most of all starting over at 61. Who would have guessed. Have a blessed life.

[@turragorman59]

Kimberly congrats to you on your move to South Carolina and the East coast. You will be busy for the next couple of weeks. Enjoy the journey.

[@bertasylvia2572]

I have 2 sets of the anchor hocking sets and use them every day. Love them. it’s just me. I also just moved into a new 3 bedroom house and I’m drowning in boxes. Good luck and blessings for us both

[@paulachristie7807]

Something to consider for the bathroom is a wall hung medicine cabinet with a mirror on the front. If you position it right you’ll be able to see the back of your head as you dry your hair.

[@KKOhNoYouDidnt]

Im here from MiddleAgedMinx channel. Thank you for mentioning London's own Jo Good in your last Vlog, she is truly amazing and I agree her cast of characters are so charming, much like the old Mary Tyler Moore show! I encourage your viewers to give her a look and subscribe. You wont be disappointed! Have a lovely day from a new subscriber in Minnesota!

[@aveeparker525]

We got a kitchen “island” that has a stainless top, 4 drawers, and a shelf on the bottom from Overstock. It has been a Godsend for us!!

[@mariedelmar9429]

The way the cat photo bombed you 🤗 So glad you’re happy it looks like the nicest street. Take care and one easy day at a time.

[@deloresbroussard7423]

Love love your new home. So much fun decorating. Maybe paint your electrical panel the same color as your walls may help also. In your kitchen maybe have someone build you a small L shape banquet/bench with storage instead of buying chairs then just get a small table. The extra storage may help. Can’t wait for more Vlogs I check daily for them🥰

[@juliasweden914]

Coming over from Middle aged minxs channel. Great video. Looking forward to watching more.

[@beautifulheart3849]

I just came over to you from middleagedminx, she recommended your channel and am I glad to have found you! I am over 50 too (well over!) am looking forward to catching up on all your back story ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Welcome - so nice of you to pop in! I LOVE Jo!!

[@julieaustin4684]

Kimberley … did you show your living room, or did I miss it? Lol I went back and watched twice, but I did not see it. So excited to watch your journey. ☺️🙏🏼🇦🇺🍷🐨🏡

[@BusyBeeMaree]

I just came over from Jo’s channel too. She is my Sunday morning inspiration.

[@novanorman1091]

Welcome to South Carolina. Love that your Cat is a star in this video. Your plan for your new home sounds great! Maybe they would paint it white for you? Tall plant over breaker box. You can change blades on fan more reasonably. ($$).

[@RD_204]

I agree, a tall plant on a stool would look great in that corner to camouflage the breaker box.

[@trishthedishbliss60]

My immediate thought when I saw the breaker box: TALL PLANT 🌿

[@clareparkin6190]

I too have come over from Middleaged Minx channel. She is the first one I watch on a Sunday and I will now be watching yours too. I’m looking forward to your new adventures and love Lucy!

[@valariegibson3838]

Maybe a mirror (full.length) to hide that panel box in your bedroom. Then you can do artwork or display shelving over from it

[@sherilynwebber8183]

About the electrical panel in the walls corner of the master bedroom - think of how we decorated in the late 60s-early 70s - hanging fabric or beads.

[@gracec83]

I'm 38, really enjoy Watching you. I'm a single gal though do have a close friend to enjoy life with, we do good of maintaining our individual goals and independence I'd say. No children. Nice to watch you, your an inspiration.

[@rxstrmom]

You are going to have a ball putting your new home together Kimberly and I can't wait to follow you along this new adventure! xoxo p

[@junehawks4666]

The small space in the kitchen would make a nice coffee bar.

[@virginiaanderson8875]

Welcome to South Carolina, a Boston transplant 16 years ago, love SC and its people. Humidity, tough but outweighed by everything else., - I am closer to Charleston , - my brother and family been in Augusta for over 40 years so, I have travelled from here, through Aiken to Augusta many times!!!

[@kristinecampbell5585]

Hi there, As for the electric panel in your master bedroom, might I suggest you order a smaller kitchen pantry cabinet. You could put your folded clothing in the pantry since the closet is so small. Put some small wheels on the bottom of the pantry, that way if you need to access the electrical panel you can easily roll the pantry out of the way. 😊 Food for thought. Have a great day and best wishes for happiness in your new home!

[@cathyhunter1263]

Thats a good idea tall and narrow with wheels for folded tshirts,jeans,baskets to hold items and you can always paint it or wallpaper the front doors,theres stunning patterns out there.

[@unfilteredover5072]

Please have the front door lock box removed. Safety. If you creatively arrange art over the entire wall, you can easily cover that breaker box. In the bathroom, you could add more storage with an over the toilet shelf (I found cabinet style units online that match the cabinetry). Lastly, check out the $5 section at the entrance of Target stores for clever bathroom and makeup organizers. I just scored clear, solid lucite drawers that are stackable and customizable. All the best in you adorable new home. Good for you!

[@lorisoden4486]

Awesome new endeavor! Maybe try a cafe rod,and semi sheer small curtain to cover the breaker box. That way you'll have easy access as well. Best of luck 👍

[@stevi6236]

Be blessed w/ health, happiness & peace on your new journey❣️you are always amazing to listen & watch …..whether it’s products, tools & now your new journey❤️ you make me smile❣️

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

Maybe buy one of those big, furniture-like, full length mirrors and prop it catty-corner to cover the breaker panel

[@juliethomas1309]

For the breaker box in the bedroom try hiding with a fake palm tree. I have a few in my home and I love them. It would certainly work to hide that box. Congrats on new home and can't wait to see what you do with decor!

[@susanrawlinson1095]

Paint the breaker panel in the same colour as the wall , will blend in better, it’s a beautiful home, small but perfectly formed. Wishing you many happy years there- best wishes from wales uk

[@maureenjurmann1916]

Hi Rebecca, I loved this live session. You are not only talented but a great host! Looking forward to the new videos that will be coming our way. You always create great content along with teaching us so much. Thanks for all you do!!!!❤

[@margaretr.4427]

Such a lovely house Kimberly, can't wait to see you personalize it in your own style. That glass storage set was an amazing find, I just bought a set of 2 glass storage dishes (the small ones) for $10 at Target! Dex was so cute in the window!

[@suedunning1627]

Someone may have mentioned this already, sorry if it is a repeat. Sometimes ceiling fan blades have 2 sides. Before you replace it, you may want to see if the other side is lighter. Maybe ask your landlord to check the balance of the fan for the wobbles.

[@naturelover-f6h]

Curious if the flowers popped up in the backyard that you planted last month?

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good morning Kimberly! How cute is your new home! The kitchen is darling! A pretty mirror over the sink would give a lot of reflection since the sink is against the wall. I agree keeping things decor light and airy is the thing to do. Since the walls are gray, maybe using more silver/pewter/white accessories rather than too much black would help keep it from getting dark. Just a few thoughts! Looking forward to seeing your style come into this house! Have fun shopping! 💕

[@kathybates1017]

With our first home I was so excited I wish I had taken more thought into my furniture purchases. Please go slow and plan carefully. ❤

[@BeautyOver70WithLea]

Kimberly, I’m so happy for you as you start your new adventure in SC and thanks for giving us the tour.You’re home I’d lovely and so enjoyed the video…I’m in Tennessee ! Welcome to the heat and humidity in the south 🥵…Lea

[@LifestyleInHawaii808]

I would put a plant next to the electric panel. Or I would look for the paint of the walls and paint the panel cover the same color as the wall.

[@gamacaluso]

Thank you for getting away from plastic!

[@kimvillasenor3]

Very cute house! I have the same issue with my breaker box, I turned it into a bulletin/memory board and have decorative magnets on it.

[@MRoark-wl5fr]

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! So excited you are here and that the bugs didn’t run you off! Haha! I think it’s fabulous you have embarked on this journey! I’m excited to go along on the ride with you! You aren’t too far from Columbia, there is great shopping there too!!

[@portiaphillips3330]

IKEA used to have an island that you can put together& 2 bar stools could go on one side& there was open storage on other side The top looked butcher block & island was accented with white legs& frame Looked expensive but it wasn’t & we were very happy with it

[@amyk3020]

Kim what a great house. You lucked out. The rental market down there is like you said non-existent. Your electric box could be covered with a very attractive screen, I love the Chevron print floor in your bathroom and of course the hardwood floors are just Dynamite. The kitchen was beautifully renovated. I can't wait to see the decorating. Less is more and isn't it nice that you have such a great location the history that's in that town and the fact that you have a farmers market 3 days a week is so wonderful. I miss the South. Welcome home

[@tonyabulluck3732]

A built in banquette would be great for the kitchen!

[@annettelough4482]

Hi Dexter in the window and a peep of Lucy…😂. Have a wonderful day! 💗

[@donnasmith6407]

Love your new place, especially the floors! I would put a little wall rack with blankets over the fuse box, or install curtain rods at the end of both sides of that wall to camouflage it and keep the symmetry. Glad we get to join in your move without doing the work! 👏😎

[@mkbrown3902]

If there's a habitat for humanity great place to get everything!!!!

[@Justbu462]

You definitely need an island….. to start your micro greens!😂🤣 it seems like a very nice space for you. That breaker box🥴. Just a thought but two long narrow mirrors across from each side might be very pretty for bouncing light. Having such with you and your journey. 😊💕🇨🇦

[@RavenNl403]

How exciting. I see your cat in the window. Happy for you and will enjoy this journey with you. Welcome to the South. ♥️

[@kathleenhathaway5519]

Home depot has some stainless topped tables/Workbenches on wheels that could work double duty in your kitchen

[@lauriedavis5137]

Hi Kimberly! I’m just up the road in Wagener. Welcome to Aiken! Boundary Road is beautiful and Aiken has such a lovely downtown area with gorgeous little shoppes and restaurants. You’re going to love it here. Your house is so lovely. Enjoy the adventure!

[@paulachristie7807]

If the fan wobbles and makes noise check how the blades are secured. Ours does that if a blade becomes loose, quick fix with a screwdriver.

[@phoenixkay7191]

Welcome to the South! Aiken is a beautiful area especially when the Azaleas are in bloom.

[@carolj4471]

We have a curved shower curtain rod and it really makes a big difference in the shower space.

[@robinore8968]

Love the cat 🐈 in the window ❤️

[@ed2938]

Thanks for sharing. We are moving too. Helped me thing about new space….storage. Etc. thanks for sharing😁

[@donnaswanson6190]

That's probably 1 of the best things in Aiken, the canopy of trees on that road

[@kerrycockburncampbell3044]

Windows are small. I would like a large sliding glass door facing back yard.

[@laritamcneely2226]

How about a privacy screen over in the corner area of the bedroom to cover up that electrical box? That might be an option? Thanks for the tour; I loved it!

[@trinaholland8326]

I think your rental is precious! Hoping you will be happy. Can’t wait to see how you make it yours. Welcome to the South! I live in NC, but born in Alabama.

[@gillianc1999]

Good morning Kimberly a new subscriber here from Northern Ireland 👋 I have came over from Jo Good’s channel. Looking forward to watching back on your channel. Your New Home looks beautiful looking forward to watching you decorate and make it homely. Love your wee dog and cat . Stay safe 👍🏻

[@sheilaloy4214]

My current bathroom also lacked drawer storage, but I found a drawer system at Walmart that fit perfectly under my sinks. I did have to modify them a bit to fit but they work beautifully.

[@katrinap2432]

Very nice house, I could live there no problem. less to clean. Have fun decorating !

[@priscillanash3543]

Really enjoyed this vlog. I can’t wait to see the end results of your place. Actually I’m excited about watching the progression. It’s going to be so cute!

[@victoriab1370]

Beautiful home Kimberly! What a wonderful adventure you're on and thanks for taking us along. Can't wait to see the after. Etsy has an affordable bathroom storage "ladder" type piece made of wood that I put behind my toilet, think it would fit your "look'. ☺️☺️☺️

[@gricinda3830]

Love your little house! Anxious to see how you make it a home. You have such good taste. I’m surprised a rental didn’t come with as washer and dryer included.

[@deborahculler2973]

There are lovely places to shop in Columbia which isn’t far. You should be able to find a good hair person there, and many major stores. Loved your design inspirations. What this reminds me of us my friends who gone to hurricanes and lost their houses and they’re basically starting over which is what you’re doing. Some days it’s nice to start with no baggage isn’t it? It’s just a lot more expensive than we remember when we replace it all. But have fun getting your house in order think it’s lovely and you’re right those floors are incredible.

[@lauramaine6366]

I love your video! You look so happy,,, I would be too 😀 I use to live in Georgia, which is pretty also. There were trees everywhere and I loved it. You will be happy living there,,,, and your house is so cute, so many possibilities 😊 Enjoy,,,, hope to get lots more videos!! Take care🙋‍♀️⚘

[@kathleenbrocker4911]

Thanks for sharing your cute little home with us. I’m sure it will be spectacular when you’re finished decorating! Shopping for a new place is so much fun!

[@kellymulligan2157]

Congratulations on your move, just wanted to suggest a light beachy macrame wall hanging for over the electrical panel...

[@audreyhurley6248]

Hello Nice home! I really like the floors and I think an island in that space will look good and be functional. Congrats on your home.

I am 65, just retired. Currently renovating my 2000 sq ft home to sell and building a 650 sq ft home on a small piece of property. Have enjoyed your downsizing to a new area. Can’t wait to see your decorating and storage solutions. I need inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

[@kellycarter6580]

I love Aiken! We rented a small house there in March. The home market down there is crazy like every where else.

[@maryclebeau]

You look beautiful!!! And have a beautiful day!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@pamb2868]

That house is cute. You only need so much room. Good luck finding furniture and a washer dryer. When I moved a few years ago it took me a while to find a washer and dryer in stock. That was before Covid. I went to a rental place and just rented it for a little while. Then paid it off later. That’s a route you might look into if you can’t find one. Maybe it’s just where I live, I don’t know. But my husband was doing laundry, and he never dries clothes all the way. So I had to hang clothes all over, with no furniture at the time. We lived like pioneers when we moved to our house for a few months. No water, no power. It was something. We had hair washing day, where we hung our heads out the back door to rinse them. It took us a month to get power. I called five times a day. One guy came out, tore up our driveway, which is really steep and was gravel at the time. He said he didn’t have enough line. He left. Finally I got a hold of a supervisor at the company. And someone was here within a few hours. They weren’t too happy, it was pouring rain and our front yard is filled with all the trees they knocked down to get our house in. And he had to keep walking up and down our driveway. But it was wonderful. It was July in Georgia with no air. We were so happy to have water and air after that. So when our power goes out it doesn’t really bother me. My daughter lives in a different city in a plat. And their power goes out more than ours, and we live in the country, on the side of a mountain. I love Lucy, she is so cute. And you cat in the window. That’s the new spot for him or her.

[@terridulong8419]

Love your new abode. Cozy and cute. I look forward to seeing you decorate it and make it your own. Welcome to your new home!

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Thank you Terri!

[@karenb3857]
