GET READY WITH ME FOR A HUGE LIFE CHANGE!

[@JenVonholly]

Congratulations girlie!!! As a homeowner I recommend spending more money on items you will use most often, ie a couch. And buy decor at a discount. I also recommend buying your core pieces first than branching out to decor. Whenever I am choosing how I want to decorate a space I concentrate on how I want that space to make me feel not just what it looks like. Take your time, your house doesn’t have to 100% complete as soon as you move in. So happy for you!

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Thank you! I think having patience is going to be important. It's so tempting to decorate as quickly as possible! I love your advice, much appreciated! xx

[@lisaaustin4561]

Pay for an interior decorator! Just for advice initially. I’m saying this because from what I’ve observed most people have all and I mean all of their taste in their mouth! If I see one more hideous oversized brown sectional with a giant piece of electronic equipment as the main focus of the room I’ll shoot myself! You seem to have a lot of class and wouldn’t dream of decorating in such a way. In the long run you’ll save money. Don’t listen to the masses!

[@mary-zv6cu]

Congratulations!! Becoming a homeowner is huge! & I loved the advice you gave - when I was in my uni years especially, I felt so much pressure to keep up - eventually I came to realize and tell myself "everyone has to live life at their own pace" and to this day, it's really helped me to find peace with my own life 😊

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Thank you so much Mary! It's so true, comparison is the thief of joy. Why not enjoy every stage of life :) xx

[@PattyAlonso]

I’m so happy to see how happy you are! Congratulations on your new home! ❤ I can’t wait to see the home tour!

[@psalms2928]

Congratulations 🍾 🥂 that’s my dream hopefully 🤞🏾 one day 💕

[@sherryroberts4735]

Congrats Erin. I have been married 47 years and we have owned 4 homes during our marriage, but there is nothing as exciting as that first time you buy a home except for the birth of a child. You will have so much fun decorating and making it your own. I will be anxious to see a home tour. I hope the move goes well and that you make many special memories in your new home. Blessings.🥰

[@laurenb6156]

Congratulations on your first house! My advice is to not buy too much right away because it helps to live there a bit and get a good feel for the house. Try to do one room at a time and prioritize the most important rooms. Happy to hear you chose a historic house. All three of my houses have been old and you can’t beat the charm. Looking forward to house content.

[@ErinNicoleTV]

That's great advice! I think that's the plan: essentials first and then one room at a time later on when we're ready. I can't wait to share the inside! Thank you so much xx

[@Lime61318]

Nicole, congratulations. You’re so humble it’s really refreshing to watch!

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Thank you so much Mandy! xx

[@marlens6581]

Congratulations! I love Coral Gables!!! We honeymooned at the Biltmore, my aunts lived in Coral Gables and I always loved the lush gardens and gorgeous homes with Spanish design. And the shops at Merrick mall is right there!!! woohoo!! I'm in SW FL so I know the area and a home with character is so wonderful. Coral Gables doesn't get so wrecked by hurricanes being a bit inland. Enjoy it all!!!🤩PS-- I know you're excited about the design and painting but seriously thinking--unglamorous but so necessary-- get a termite annual contract service and an insect control/ exterminator service--the bugs in FL are a way of life but you do not want them INSIDE your home 😃

[@alittlebitlaura]

Congratulations! I moved to South Florida from Charlotte, NC in 2021 and drove my 100+ perfumes on some vinyl serving trays I picked up on Amazon. Packed them in tightly so they wouldn’t move and it worked great - and now I have them stored on the trays (faux marble) in my closet. Good luck with the move and I can’t wait to see your new home! ❤

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Ooh that's genius! I hope you're loving SoFla, very different from NC! xx

[@susanmccarthy7048]

[@SimplyDeeBeauty]

Congratulations Erin! So happy for you and your husband. I love Coral Gables, its always a treat driving through it. And its close to everything. I agree with you about older houses, they are generally built steardier that the newer houses. Can't wait to see the house vlogs 😊.

You are such a dear soul, I’m so happy for you and your husband!! Congratulations on finding your dream house and following your dreams! You have earned it! 🎉🎉🎉

[@sharoncruz9901]

Congratulations 👏🏼 You’ve brought back memories for me. My husband and I bought our first house at the same age - 35’ish. We are still here, after lots of reno’s and raising 2 daughters. Our house was a bit older and quite a bit less than others we made offers on, but it just had a happy feeling to it, and seemed well loved and cared for by previous owners. The “feeling” is so important. Enjoy every minute. I’d love to hear everything you are willing to share 🥰!

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Ah Sharon, it sounds like you created such a special home for your family! I can't wait to start making those memories :) Thank you! xx

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and your husband. The real estate market in S Fl has been crazy and it is wonderful to hear you found your dream home in Coral Gables, such a gorgeous area! My advice to you is not to go crazy buying decorations until you figure out your foundational pieces, such as furniture style & overall home color scheme. If you miss out on Memorial Day sales keep in mind the 4th of July is around the corner and so will the sales. 😍

[@hinabarron3842]

Congratulations Erin!! So exciting! Looking forward to you sharing your beautiful new home with us! Love your outlook on life and everyone's journey being their own. Good luck!!

[@viviennewright7868]

Congratulations Erin. So happy for you . Xx

[@milaledan7711]

This is Awesome!! Congratulations!! I really appreciated when you said that you and your husband didn’t allow yourselves to compare and contrast your lives to your friend and subscribing to “ if you are not here by this age then you are behind” but like you said, saying someone is behind because they did what was best for their household is incorrect. That really resonated with me. Thank you for that. I’m from Homestead born and raised, so I know the old vs new homes and in the Gables, they certainly have beautiful historic homes.

[@jessicabelle6973]

Congratulations 🎉

[@amcg]

Congrats on the new place! A little off topic, but I was wondering about how you stay so healthy looking (e.g., # of hours of sleep, diet, workouts)? Totally agree with sticking to your own plans (and not comparing self to others). I didn’t buy my first house until I was 52.

[@adril.857]

Thanks so much for the encouragement! I am 35 going on 36 myself. It’s been my dream to own a home but as a single woman it’s been so difficult to afford a decent, safe, non cookie cutter home. I saved and saved but then housing prices rose like crazy hit last year setting me back a ton. All my hard work saving was not enough. I was so discouraged. Of course, I compared myself to everyone else my age who had families and homes. So thank you for saying everyone’s journey is different. It will come at the right time. Congratulations! Can’t wait to see your future videos on the home. ❤

Congratulations Erin Nicole on buying your first home, I wish you all the happiness for this next stage of your lives. Everyone has already given a lot of great advice. I bought (built) my home 26 years ago so I'm at the stage where I need a bit of maintenance done. Not neccesarily the most fun stage but I am grateful that I have a home of my own so I am not complaining!!! Enjoy the process and I wish you all the best😍😍

[@elizabethgraul5475]

Congratulations on your new adventure!! How exciting. I know the feeling when you see a house that really speaks to you. The house I’m living in now is such a house. We were the first couple that saw this house when it was for sale. The people who were selling took a shining to us and really wanted us to live in this house. We’ve been here for 12 yrs. and we still love it. I wish you, your husband and Jazzy all the happiness that comes with home ownership.

[@lauras667]

Congratulations. My husband and I had a similar experience of living in an apartment for years. My drive to keep shopping and speed up the home buying process a bit was the final push we needed. Finally we decided to do a new build for our first home. My advice would be don’t rush to fill the rooms; because after you live there a while, the vision for your decorating changes. It’s almost like the house shows you what it wants to become as you live in it. Some of my early decisions were not the best. Revisions were needed…which can make a husband a little cranky😉.

[@janelleespinosa6247]

I was born and raised here in Miami, so that's 65 years here. Right now, if you took a few days to see how you felt...the house could be GONE! You are right, this was meant for you, bc otherwise, someone could have put down money right after you left! Glad you found it and put a ring on it!

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Absolutely, we got really lucky with an amazing realtor and motivated sellers. We ended up negotiating below the listing price, which is almost unheard of! xx

[@brenduhhh]

Congrats! This is a big step! We tried a few years ago but our realtor was terrible we lost ever home we bid on & she wouldn’t make herself available when we were. As a POC we felt she didn’t understood us at all. It really left us with a bad taste in our mouth mainly because she said we couldn’t afford a home even though we had already talked to our lender & had a secured budget. I don’t know if I could go through the process again but your story makes me want to try

I live in the Boston area and if you see a house you like you can’t sleep on it. Inventory is tight and there are bidding wars, so people are paying above and beyond the asking price. Best of luck, Erin, and have fun decorating!

[@barbaravyse660]

Miami used to be like that too not that long ago.

[@ErinNicoleTV]

It's been insane almost everywhere! In Miami we have so many cash buyers from all over the world, the competition is intense. We lucked out with motivated sellers and settled below the listing price, basically right at the appraisal! That's part of the reason we were holding our breath until the very end. I still don't know how we pulled it off! xx

Congratulations to you both! So sweet to share this important milestone with us. A word to the wise: bubble wrap will be very useful to move art or small precious things, such as fragrances. As you don’t have to move everything all at once, it can be repurposed as it is a bit expensive. Enjoy this moment ❤

[@AVA-MARIA]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 I worked for the City of Coral Gables for many years and it really is the City Beautiful! Take your time decorating! I tried to rush it and I made so many mistakes! I would chose paint colors first! Make sure you like those and then start purchasing the larger pieces. I did the artwork last! I agree with others invest the most money on the larger furniture pieces that last and spend less on accessories. Bloomingdale’s and Arhaus have furnture warranties which is a good idea when making the larger purchases! I’m sure you watch decor channels on KZbin for inspiration lol Do one room at a time. I tried to do them all at once and I didn’t consider how they would flow together. Have fun with it! I hope you will post some home decor and home tour videos ❤

[@noeliavasquez9993]

Congratulations! I’m crying tears of joy for you!!! We bought an amazing house about 18 months ago. It’s my first home purchase and I was 38 at the time. I’m sitting at the top of the staircase now, and I still get emotional, knowing this is our home. My advice, have patience and don’t force the pieces you put into your home. Also, look at measurements of furniture! I bought a chair recently that is much smaller than I was expecting. Also, enjoy the process and it will all come together in time.
