I watched your Q&A a few weeks ago and I wanted to say that I so appreciate you showing your home even if you think it's not perfectly Instagram worthy! I love seeing the perfect modern or updated aesthetic house but the reality is most of us don't live in a perfect house and I appreciate you being authentic.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thank you for this! Obviously you're opening your home up to judgment, but we all are at different stages of "perfect."

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

Personally I'd call your kitchen renovated already. I think it is beautiful!

[@lailayen765]

Hi Megan. You keep saying that 'one day this is going to be nice and cute'.... well, I think your house allready is nice and cute. It's filled with love and care and really thought-through solutions. We work with what we have, and make it our own, and you do it SO well! I love the kids' playroom. You have SO much space for you family, and you have a teacher's eye for how to make your kids thrive. I love your channel.

[@jonesfamily9119]

Megan when you replace your washer and dryer look into Speed Queen. They aren't pretty to look at but they are still built really well and will last you!

[@elizabethm3327]

Love Speed Queen! I do laundry at my parents' house just to use theirs. lol Cycle is FAST, and it gets the clothes SO clean!

[@ozarkview928]

Yes 🙌

[@wilmawagler5058]

My daughter with 6 kids told me about speed queen. Love my set.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Love my speed queen

[@thekirksiffs5285]

I was going to say the same thing. Get the one that is more mechanical with the agitator. I've had my SQ washer since 2012 and it is the best one I've ever owned. It was more spendy, but worth every penny.

[@elisabethhopkins4453]

I have never seen your kitchen as "old". You have a very nice style and keep your home so welcoming.❤ Sometimes it's hard to see it when we live in it everyday.

[@pama.6410]

Your home is deceptively large!!! So many special spaces with two offices, a play room, a laundry room, a sun room, a finished basement! What a great home!!! It seems like you are between mid century modern and boho downstairs and more traditional upstairs. Love what you have done for the bathrooms and the bedrooms and all the spaces you've worked on. As for centerpiece suggestions for the table, You have young kids so the table center piece could be the nearest holiday. I still have Valentine's things (heart shaped napkin holder, heart shaped planters or boxes, red candles, a few sprinkled paper/foil hearts would work) and will have St. Patrick's Day things in March because I am part Irish. May not be a big Mennonite holiday but around here you can buy little planters of shamrocks. (Have the kids paint shamrocks on rocks, get little leprechaun dolls etc. ) Otherwise, candles always make a pretty center piece and can be any color. The fruit is pretty and practical too. May just splurge on a basket you love for them. Hope the little one has arrived happy and healthy! All the best and God bless!

[@topaz3468]

I think your home is lovely Megan... definitely don't apologize for ongoing renovations, as you are just being frugal and taking time to decide on what is needed. I have a 34 year old house that receives 1 project renovation every couple years in which I set a strict budget. Now retired, I have no desire to make anything high-end, or match what others think it should look like. As long as my materials for upgrades are modern and fresh, I am happy 😊

[@ghostlyMostly1]

I actually love the dark trim, I have a house that was built in the late 50s and I feel like the wooden trim goes well in that style of home. White has its place but its not the only option!

[@sallyannc3176]

Nope - looks much nicer upstairs where the trims are all white, imho.

[@ghostlyMostly1]

@@sallyannc3176 🤣

[@Karen-ee3dn]

L😅ove

[@WS-by5cl]

Agreed. I have a mid 50s home and I love the warmth of my blond maple cabinets. And I also love their durability! New cabinets of good quality cost a fortune.

[@marlenegray576]

Paint your backsplash. And Josh can saw off the squiggly board above sink and make straight

[@cindykaye3152]

Great money & time saving suggestions. I was also thinking rather than having to rip out the cabinets, if they are well made, solid wood, restaining or painting them could save money, too. I actually love the kitchen as it is-sans the squiggly board. Lol

[@sallyannc3176]

I was telling her to cut off that squiggly board above the sink when they painted the kitchen but she had some reason why Josh wouldn't do it.

[@lauracullen8594]

i know i'm in the minority but i love the detail above the sink - it adds character

[@janh519]

The valence board at the top of the kitchen window is lovely and it might be a reflection of the style home you have, or when it was built. Our home was built at the same time and also has the valence board at the kitchen window! It’s also very large with a full basement. All the rooms in your home are large and I know you are thankful for that! Your home is something to be proud of, as you have decorated it very beautifully and the lot it’s on is lovely with the huge patio and gorgeous lawn!

[@Rach7695]

I'm always team get rid of board above sink!

[@CassieDeJarnett]

Thank you for not waiting for everything to be “perfect”! I’ve loved watching you renovate your beautiful house one room at a time and on a budget. It feels so much more realistic and inspiring!

[@micahroyster4502]

Super excited to watch this Megan! ☺️

[@Shetlandmom]

Thanks for the tour. I love your home. Beautiful!

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Your home seems so cozy, welcoming and filled with love! it's truly beautiful!!

[@sharronbrauer6116]

Love your home, very warm and homey💕

[@kristaleisure7978]

Just watched the intro! Love seeing how you renovate and decorate your home! We are currently renovating our kitchen and updating the countertops and cabinet doors while keeping some things original. Thanks for the inspiration as always! I'm planning to add even more houseplants after seeing your beautiful sunroom!

[@triciawatson2642]

Oh my goodness! I love your home! Thank you for sharing ❤you have done such a great job making it both cute and functional. I love it!

[@darlenethompson9325]

What a lovely home! I liked the Megan touches! ❤

[@caitlinthomas6951]

[@nancyduffer1808]

Hi Megan, your house is so lovely and unique, so many homes are either so over the top or cookie cutter,where your touches are beautiful yet unique to your style. I love it ❤

[@theresalee9392]

Oh yes, we also have a one blue toilet and one pink of the three!! Your house looks wonderful!

[@Drycreek995]

Wow. What a difference. Added so much style and class. Love the darker color. Also the new hardware. Great choice. Excited to see the butcher block top on your next video. Hugs, Caroline.

[@neahughes1579]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done! It’s so relatable. Sometimes it feels like my house is the only one that has non-aesthetic corners.

[@aprilsmith5842]

I love your beautiful home - & family! ❤

[@susier7766]

Megan, you've got the world by the tail! You and Josh are doing a great job with the family!!

[@jessieboyer2073]

What a great encouragement!

[@thefehrs]

You have a gorgeous home 🏡 Always be grateful for what you have, a perfect home does not feel lived in. Thank you for the tour ❤

[@kjones7966]

A home with character and personality ! ❤ what a blessing thatsm sunroom is.

[@tommiearbeau808]

Love your home!! You have done a beautiful job!

[@michelleh.6363]

Great job you and Josh have done on your home! I’d have to say I think the Master bedroom and bath is probably my favorite out of all…I go for neutral tones and like the seating added…plus the space says relax and rest to me! 👍💕🙏🇺🇸😊🐾👶🏻

[@valerierandall3640]

Loved your tour, love your home! It’s perfect as always. I’ve been with you for years and it does my heart good to know that you and Josh have remained true to yourselves and don’t give in to the frills of social media. I have a hard time relating to content creators that seem to get caught up in everything needing to be all white, cold and bare. Your home is one that I’d feel so comfortable and welcomed into. 🤗

[@judithbutler9695]

Love your home! You don’t need a living room! When you are ready to do your kitchen …do it biggggg😉. With dream storage. It is all gorgeous….everything ❤

[@tammybruinsma1328]

I love how you are renovating your home Megan! I think it is simply beautiful or beautifully simple. 😊 The nursery is so sweet in its neutral tones. The boys' bedroom is styled perfectly for them now and for them to grow into. I love that you chose to turn the formal dining room into a play room for now because that is the stage of life you are currently in. Please don't ever make apologies for your home! It is lovely! You and Josh are being responsible in renovating as your budget allows. One of the caveats of that is that you always have something to look forward to and so do we! 😁

[@petro3441]

Your house is stunning. The sunroom is my favorite room, then your room and your office and then the kitchen❤❤❤❤

[@anitawells3705]

Your house looks great! ❤

[@celestewatson7836]

I love plants as centerpieces on tables!

[@deannawiederhold3326]

1st time viewer and I absolutely LOVE ❤️ love ❤️ love your HOME ❤

[@Jodiwms1969]

Good day to you, we bought a home that was built in the early 70s and we didn’t change much about it. It was panel with paneling the entire house except a few spaces like the bathroom and part of the dining room area. We kept the kitchen cabinets just like they were they were in good shape and I just keep them polished, but I like the feel of the pan and I do wash the pan with my old cedar mop, to keep it clean and shiny, but I love the Bob of this home. It’s almost like a Lakeside home we have a large deck that we enjoy, you enjoy your home you have made it acalm cozy home filled with love

[@lindasmith5190]

Your house is huge! Love it.

[@kcotjo]

Megan you have a beautiful home!! You and Josh should be proud of all the changes you have made to each room. You have wonderful spaces for your family!! We have lived in our home for 38 years (ranch built in 1979). We have made many changes and we love it. We are empty nesters now so it is quiet but large enough for when the 6 grandchildren come over. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!

[@bowenfamilyfarm9776]

You have a beautiful home. I love homes that look like they are lived in. Clean and homey.

[@cynthiamuffoletto7480]

Y’all have a very cozy and lovely home!

[@kristadavis2825]

I just started the video and already loving your thoughts process. We just moved out of an RV in to our 1973 house (literally sleeping on the floor and fixing things as we go). Our house has one room still with 1973 glitter flower wallpaper, and blue porcelain bathroom. Plus the fireplace was made by the previous owners from petrified wood they found on the property and river rocks and crystals they collected on vacation. It has so much vintage we are trying to leave what isn’t rotted or torn to pieces by the cat they had. Thankfully they left all the antique dressers, so a few pieces of furniture we don’t have to buy.

[@lynnlong860]

Well I just Love that your making THIS home the way you want it to be- gradually. New homes are over- rated & trying to have the best & newest ( like others) think they Need is just Not being content. You & Josh have all the room you will ever need & just Love it cause it’s filled with sweet memories for ALL your little family. Anyway- I’m 60 years old and have lived long enough to know a few things-Much Love from NC❤

[@degibb10]

Your home is beautiful! I built a new home several years ago and got to pick a lot of what I wanted. I’ll admit i love the character of your home and the way you have it decorated more than my own. It’s very cozy.

[@PASwiftUTube]

You have a beautiful home. I think you appreciate your home if you have to create it in stages. Blessings on your new baby.

[@offairhead]

4:11 I love the molding wall

[@lynnsalberg5647]

You have a flair for decorating ! I love boho personally .

[@mlm7598]

Megan, your home is beautiful as I have always said. You are a young family and have accomplished so much in such few years. How glorious and lovely you and Josh have made it. I am sure years from now you can look back and ask each other how you did so much in such a small bit of time with that precious little brood of children young and busy, busy, busy. Your home is much larger than it appears to be and all that room.........I absolutely love it! Perhaps the blue in the bath doesn't go with your design for now, but I can only imagine running up and down stairs each time anyone needs to use the powder room!! I know when the time is right you will delight in switching it up. Your home is so warm and cozy (even though it is very large) and looks very comfortable and welcoming! So blessed! I love all the changes you have made and it is amazing with Josh's talents and your own you get it just "right" for your lifestyle. Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your home, I am sure many will get some awesome ideas from you. Multitalented are both you and Josh! Blessings on your family and I hope baby has arrived and all is well. May God bless you and your beautiful young family! ♥🥰♥

[@annijewiss3142]

Hi Megan, thank you for the tour of your lovely home, I never realised how big it actually is and yes the play room will make a great dining room one day. I’m lucky like you being married to a carpenter is definitely a plus when it comes to doing things around your home. I love your home xxx

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Your style has always been my favorite! I love how you decorate!

[@rebekah3483]

I love your home! Youve done an amazing job decorating it and renovating as well! I would scoot the piano down under the window more if i lived there, it just seems tight in the doorway and off a bit where it's at, but that's just me! I love your style! Your toy room/dining room is so big! What a lovely space! I think i would keep this room as a family room instead of ever switching it to a formal dining room! Such a gem! Now that im seeing your office, I would assume that the office is the formal dining room... if I was just walking through the house as a buyer that is. It just seems to be imo. That barn door is amazing! It has such charm to it! I actually really like the dark wood trim in the house! I think it has a feeling of warmth and relaxation that it brings! Those stairs with the paint and runner you chose are what dreams are made of imo! Goodness your bedrooms are all such GRAND sizes and will work for such a long time with the kids! BEAUTIFUL HOME!

[@terriebuys4052]

Wow you have a huge house! Lots and lots of square footage. Wish we had a basement. Josh is an amazing contractor! You are very lucky.
