[@vickismith1956]

I'm just suggesting you might want your dining room closer to where you prepare your meals at

[@rachelwilkey3219]

I would put the table and chairs in the fireplace area, that way you don't have to go so far bringing things back and forth. You could also put a cozy chair or 2 by the fireplace. The room that currently is the dining room could be an office and where Landon has guitar lessons. The front room could be turned into a little reading nook. You could have bookshelves and comfy/cozy chairs where the kids and you can read. You could also switch them (put the reading nook in the dining room and the office/music room in the front room. The girl's room is awesome! You could make a cool man cave room in the storage room. The smaller room could be his closest! Just some ideas!

[@MomtoZnE]

Family room where the fireplace is and POOL TABLE in the far sitting room! And definitely a dining table that can fit everyone close to the kitchen - either in the nook or that empty space or both.

[@kathybasilico5686]

Skyler, I have only moved twice. 49y in my home now. The extra bedroom in the basement ...no window. That small space upstairs may make a great adult only space.. No toys. A place for peace and quiet. Or just a toy fee room. A place to go to relax, or get yourself back together.( Even kids need a quiet place to regroup.) Long island Kathy

[@InMyHonestOpinion1]

Congrats on the new house! Wanted to say I like how you refer to your co-parenting co-parent as such and not an ex or the kids’ mom. It feels like there’s respect and care for the other as a person, while having healthy boundaries. Thank you for showing us good examples of how different families work.

[@mellando9770]

I love looking at American houses. Always so huge and weird set outs. Like your main bedroom bathroom has 2 sinks but your main has 1. Haha. This house is amazing. And looks so bright. Enjoy setting it all up. I think the dining table needs to go in that far corner off the room with the fireplace. ❤

[@rachelwilkey3219]

The 2 sinks are for partners to each have their own sink.

[@mellando9770]

@@rachelwilkey3219 yep. I get that. Just strange not in other bathroom too. We have crazy stuff like that in Oz too.

[@rachelwilkey3219]

Yeah, it is weird. A lot of times there is only room for one sink. But most of bathrooms I have seen that aren't the master, have a ton of counter space with one sink. My sister's kids all share a bathroom and it is the same sink/counter set up. It would be so helpful if they had 2 sinks.

Maybe Move the dining room table closer to the kitchen where the fireplace is. But it doesn't have to be in the middle of the space. It could be closer to the French doors. Maybe make the front rooms kids playrooms?

[@MeganSmith-ly2cl]

What a perfect house for you guys.

[@cindiallain8542]

Maybe an entry room? Entry hall? I love the kitchen nook.great video. I enjoyed this one. Thank you.

[@supersweetiecat]

Use it for the kids study room put desks in there so they do school work together

[@kimberlysymonds7517]

Really nice house I would put the room to the right as your office The room to the left as the littles craft room Then put your table the room with the fireplace

[@childtimematters513]

Think about placing or trying furniture closer to a wall in some rooms, instead of sticking out into the room. For example, would the two beds sticking out in the girls’ bedroom fit against the walls? That would leave more room for twirling and story time before bed. 😉

[@karentillotson9772]

This comment is just FYI from what I could tell from the vlog, so disregard if I missed the total storage room layout . The problem with Shayden in that storage room is there doesn’t appear to be “egress”, which is code. Sure he could hang out in there, but he can’t sleep in there, using it as a bedroom, if there’s no egress- a second way out of the room. Using that space for a bedroom could also be a violation of your lease! I’m sure the landlord wants you all to be safe!

[@karenwatson5917]

I would make the room with the fireplace another small sityinv area

[@heatherboos2936]

I've changed my mind. The front rooms should be homework rooms. As they get older they will want to have separate rooms for playing sleeping and learning.

[@dearleah7299]

Since it’s Skyler’s home, he needs to decide what works for him and his children.

So were you renting the last home? And is this a purchased permanent home? Not my business. Just asking if this means you are done moving and glad you are closer to their mom’s home. It’s a beautiful place and I agree has some extra space that would be hard to use productively. But with the little kids - I’m sure they’ll find cool uses! I really love the fun extra playroom attached to the girls’ room. Thanks for showing us!

[@vickiefinney6073]

I just read, he said, he is renting

[@marilynwade9448]

Media room and game room up front. You need it. Living, den, dining to the back and off the kitchen. Why such a big house?

[@JennSafari]

Why not?? His family and his decision 😊

[@lizerb1]

Put your dining room table off the kitchen. That makes so much more sense. Still have a small table maybe with a bench under the window that saves space. And who cares if your guests see a table…. You’re keeping it real. Put a couch and making it a reading area where the table is right now. Good Luck!

[@kerizimmerman7211]

I'd put your dinning room by the kitchen, turn that front room into Shayden's space and the mirrored room into your office

[@cassiek7879]

Congratulations Skyler! 🎉 how exciting. You are such a great dad and always keep it real. I would suggest not putting the dinning room right off the entry. I would make that a library or formal living room! I would put dinning room where the fireplace is off the kitchen!

[@ruthadelson1868]

The dining room / table is TOO far from the kitchen. You will never, ever , use it. Put the table next to the kitchen. You might want a tv room and a quiet room. I used to like to go into our formal living room to read away from the kids. Now my house is one great room. Living, dining, kitchen all in one. We are senior citizens. The whole house is quiet!

[@marinaseltzer1903]

So true! I applaud both of them! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RoadkillbunnyUK]

The new house is awesome. I’m in the UK and our houses are much smaller than American homes due to much less space. Anyway, that’s to say that my youngest daughter’s (16 now!) bedroom is I think smaller than the walk in closet for the two little boys! You have had a rough few years, I don’t pretend to know the first thing about what ended your marriage and your feelings around that but what I do know is the feeling of ending up the single parent you never planned to be and trying to cope and manage your own emotions while putting your children and their complex and confused emotions first. It’s not easy and it was at least two years until I felt like I had my legs underneath me again. I can only wish that my two children had a father as devoted to them as you, who puts his kids needs first, wants the quality time with his kids and willing to work as a respectful team with his co parent. All things you seem to have done from the beginning but although I did everything possible in my power has not happened in my situation. He owes thousands in child support but honestly, that isn’t what breaks my heart and upsets me most. It’s been 10 years and he is yet to have got a home suitable for him to have his kids. He has had the kids at his parents this whole decade. I worked out what I thought was best for the kids access wise but if he wasn’t trying to represent he had them more to reduce his child support he was trying to have the kids less. It has now got to the point that for the last 4 years he has seen his kids just one weekend a month. Saturday morning to Sunday evening. He lives less than 10 miles away. The very idea of him needing to step up puts the fear of god in him. The girls are now 19 and 16 and seem to have worked him out for themselves. Even now I will find myself making excuses for him as I have done for all these years, bigging him up, telling the yow much he loves them. The girls just tell me to stop now. I have gone through a huge amount myself in the last 10 years managing my progressive health condition, finding new health issues to now being diagnosed with three different life limiting conditions. I have gone from being Brown Owl and the the village Brownie Guides, Seahorse to the tiny (5 - 7) Rainbow guides, working in the community village shop, wrangling horses, working as a freelance groom, part time riding school yard manager and riding teacher to now, being in a power wheelchair full time, needing outside careers to come in everyday to help me wash, make my bed etc. and that’s all just scraping to surface. If anyone has got this far through my whining what I am trying to say is I so wish I had a co parent like you who puts their kids first and pours so much of himself into his kids (be careful though, you need to keep some back for you or you are no good for anyone, I have made that mistake myself on multiple occasions), actually wants his kids around and will work with their co parent to raise wonderful healthy and balanced kids.

[@MM36577]

Been divorced for 5 years.. I’ve been to the bottom. Now I finally feel like I’m getting ahead. Geez life is brutal. Good luck in your new house.

[@andreadefelice7596]

I think the "dinning table" belongs in the christmas tree room... Plenty of room, will make your life much easier. Plus the kitchen area is the heart of the home..

[@kimmiemorris5812]

That house is HUGE!

[@susandixon3970]

The Dining room belongs in the room with the fireplace. The room with the tv is the den. The room that you have the table in now is the living room. The first room that you do not have anything planned for is the music room.

[@nanabettyg]

You said it perfect! And I hear Landon is very private with his music, I would put French doors up!

[@usmcbarbie4045]

That house is gargantuan... Wowwzaaaaa❤ Loveeee it

[@conniejohnsoncj8724]

I would take the carpet out of the front right room and make it a boot/coat room with benches and lockers and the room where table is I’d make an office. Then I’d make a formal dining area where the fireplace is and a living room where you are putting the sectional.

[@JennSafari]

It's a rental, you can't just tear it apart and renovate

[@kathysnell]

Loved the house tour! You've got lots of great options. I'd definitely put the dining table in front of the fireplace. I'd let the front rooms be a library/office or a space for Shayden. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will feel like home soon. Congratulations!

[@kerriecu2]

That small front room could be your office or your quiet space. Alternatively it could be a quiet space for the big boys to sit and read or do homework. Off limits to the little ones. The area in front of the fireplace looks like a good place for quiet sitting or playing away from the TV or bring the large dining table there to eat at all the time instead of the kitchen. Then make that front dining area a place for quiet games and bookshelves with comfy chairs. I follow Chloe and beans on KZbin, with ten children. They have a library room with cosy nook and seating and soft rug. Maybe check them out. Moving house 🏠 is the pits. Especially when you think you’ve finished then pack another ten boxes with bits. 😂

[@sandy239b6]

Chloe and Ro are doing an amazing job with their 10 kids...🏡❤

[@bkm2797]

Hey Skyler, it's a beautiful home with incredible amounts of light. Definitely has lots of space, and that's always a plus with a crew of kidergardners who adore play time. Maybe as others suggested you can take one of the rooms upstairs and make it Sheyden's, the area downstairs is not the best, but hey I'm not Sheyden. How's the yard, hope it's got some room for the kiddos to play. Danna said she helped you move, glad to hear you are still friends, and thanks for turning us on to her hilarious channel. Skyler, I know it's been rough, but it's going to get better for sure, you can do this!❤️👍

[@loon3111]

Put a door on the carpeted area in the front for shaydon, dining room in the large open space next to the tv room. Comfy sitting area where you have the table now

[@pammusick2264]

Congratulations! Being settled will help you feel much better. That very small room is your tornado/safety room. Opinions? I’d use the very large room for your family room so you can enjoy your fire place, etc. Perhaps you could use the smaller family room where the tv currently is for a study area. Five kids doing homework will need a lot of supervision. Also, you have so much space - I wouldn’t put Shaydon in the basement. I noticed there was no window so technically can’t be a bedroom. Sorry, you asked. I’m not the inspector police but I’ve raised a family and know a few rules. Now I’m just an old grandma still loving my family.

[@joycejarrard6958]

Let the small living room be a dedicated quiet space.

[@deborahwestendorff3732]

Super large but you need it. I love the girls room too. They need personal space as they blossom . Shayden and Landon have plenty of space for the “man cave”. a little round table in the kitchen is awesome. And what to do with the other 2000 square-foot I have no idea ha ha ha ha ha ha 😆. I’m curious to see your electric bill. 💵 but the fact that you’re closer to the school is a plus dad. Great job. 👏

You can make your rooms into what ever you want. I’d turn your currant dining into the front room. The fireplace room (family room) I’d have the tv and chairs/couch and the dining in the back room where the previous folks had their tv. That way the kids can be in the same area when you are cooking. You wouldn’t use the formal area as much, so it’s tucked away, but the family room is is the main hub.
