Our New Home! 🏡 Empty House Tour

[@allisonmarieknits]

I LOVE seeing older houses that would have been SO trendy when they were first done (or last renovation!) like this house was the COOLEST in the … 60s?

[@cakeeeetime]

80s-90s?

[@Wakeupgrandowl]

more like late 80s early 90s, haha.

[@New_Wave_Nancy]

I would have thought late 70s early 80s. (I have been alive long enough to remember that era.)

[@cakeeeetime]

@@New_Wave_Nancy I think its maybe 80s. That classic combo of gold and dusty pink/turqoise screams 80s to me. But the"cottage core" door seems more 60s/70s. I am wildy guessing by childhood memorys (late 80s/early 90s) and the house my grandparents own (mix early 2000s and 60s/70s).

[@Loepsie]

The house was built in the late 60s, and I assume some rooms were renovated in the 80s :)

[@SallyCreations]

I recommend replacing the bidet with a more modern one instead of removing it completely, it's so so convenient! Looking forward to all the house content, I'm so happy for you :)

[@AnnaMarina01]

I LOVE my bidet when it's that time of the month. I imagine it would be a godsend after childbirth too. I try to convert people to the awesomeness of bidets, but they aren't popular here in the US.

[@erikatheicyone]

There are toilets with a built in bidet or you can add a bidet attachment to your existing toilet for a functional two in one fixture.

[@AnnaMarina01]

@@erikatheicyone Yes! I forgot to include mine is an aftermarket wand that's connected to the water line and hooks onto the toilet. Best Amazon purchase yet lol.

[@melissad7855]

Also more environmentally friendly than toilet paper

[@sofiaoutandabout]

As a southern european living in the Netherands, I'd die to have a bidet in our home! I miss having one so dearly.

[@AbKhaos]

From your childhood bedroom to a whole house that's all yours, it's been such a pleasure following you! I can't wait to see what you guys do with it ✨

[@kittypower361]

I feel like I've been following you forever, and I'm genuinely so happy to see you in your new home! It feels like my friend just got a new home!

[@nnnnoe]

Yes!! I've been following her for about 12 years and it's been so nice to see the amazing journey she has been on! And I'm so looking forward to all the renovation vlogs 😊

[@acmulhern]

I love the pink toilet, bidet, sink situation. You could make it look like a Wes Anderson bathroom if you replaced the tiles with something like a wallpaper or colourful tiles. But I agree with you that the layout and fixtures needs to be updated. Anyway, congratulations on your new home. Such an exciting milestone 😀

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

I LOVE the wood door!! Maybe just restrain it? Wood goes with more than you think. It’s a lovely touch of nature inside

[@mirac8826]

I'm so happy for you! I honestly LOVE the gold panel ceiling, and I feel like you could update the whole room by just changing the cabinets/furniture around it!

[@__JillSt.Clair__]

So exciting!!! As someone that has only lived in the US, I love seeing how the rest of the world designs/ lays out their houses. and I can't wait to see you make it your own. Congratulations!!

[@Elin.Noller]

1. I would keep the cabinet doors and instead replace the counter tops and backsplash. 2. I would keep the bidé, but I get why you would want to fit a bath tub in there instead.

[@PseudonymCassy]

This is so exciting! I didn’t imagine the house would be so big, you must be thrilled with the amount of space after living in your small apartment these past few years. I absolutely love the quirky bits inside the house and that cute whimsical Wooden door.

[@InThisEssayIWill...]

I am loving all my favorite crafting KZbinrs buying homes and turning into home Reno & crafting channels... Like yes please take me along on your journey

[@alex__andra]

She's beautiful, Lucy! So excited for you. Love the garden and how you light up when you talk about the attic space!! Wish you both many happy years in your new home! French doors would be so cool in that room!!!

[@luciatat4084]

I would advise you to keep the bidet or replace it with another that you like, it’s so useful! :)

[@kaitlynnmccomiskey4533]

I LOVE this kitchen for no good reason. I know it's outdated but I'm here for it!

[@loonyinasia2261]

Congrats ✨🌼 but don't get rid of the bidet in the bathroom, it's best to clean yourself with water down there 😅

[@luciatat4084]

Oh yes, it’s so easy to use it as often as you need instead of getting in the shower just for that area. :)) i also have them now that I live in a house and I would not get rid of them ever!

[@admirathoria0073]

I think they have the mirror wall in the kitchen in order to make it more lighted to save on light fixtures. My uncle's house had a family room with a mirrored wall for that purpose.

[@Loepsie]

Yes, it also makes the space look bigger :)

[@octavia088]

I would temporarily cover the mirror with paper. See how the space feels before removing the mirror.

[@veronikakogler8124]

@@octavia088 sounds like a good idea! 👍 I have worked in furniture sales and making mock ups from of paper or cardboard OFTEN gave people an AHA-moment (and they went for a totally different solution afterwards)

[@admirathoria0073]

@@octavia088 That's a great idea. At my uncle's house, the family room was in the basement with only those half-windows near the ceiling. The mirrored wall really brightened the room up without having lots of light fixtures.

[@KatieM786]

That studio room is beautiful! So much light! I'm so happy for you and your husband for the new house 💜❤️

[@ghoulgoil5029]

I actually love the master bathroom. The lilac color is beautiful and has more character than anything nowadays.

[@giuliaaceto2836]

Wow, it is just super cute! And you probably got the only House of the town with a bidet in the bathroom, congratulation!😆 (Italian girl appreciates it) about the garden: are you thinking about mix herbs and flowers or keep them separated? Congrats again, it is lovely!

[@ellegilyard1348]

What a beautiful house! I can’t wait to see you make it even more beautiful.

[@TheaiNyx]

Congratulations! I must say it feels nice as a fellow European to see a house tour of someplace that actually seems attainable and not like some movie mansion 😅 Despite the outdated decor it somehow also feels like something I would've seen on Pinterest? Dusty pink and white and gold...

[@hollybrooke322]

This house is actually really cool. With the right furniture you guys could really make the style work and look updated. Then again furniture nowadays is as expensive as updating. I’m really happy for you two. Congrats.

[@midgarflowers]

I love your studio space! It reminds me of your apartment from your older videos. I can’t wait to see how you and your husband decorate!

[@auditoryeden]

I'm very excited to see how you dress up your studio. If the beams are still exposed after you fix up the ceiling you should totally paint them brown/strip and stain them for that good good cottagecore vibe.

[@mjlSews]

Love the house, and your plans for it! You'll make so many good memories here. Also thought it was funny that your bathroom is white with pink appliances, our bathroom is pink with white appliances (we still have to redo it, but everything works and other projects take precendence). I feel like someone out there might like a fully pink bathroom lol.

[@Loepsie]

Oh I'm sure they would, haha! We might just put the pink appliances up for sale to see if anyone wants them, they're so unique!

[@marylyn5965]

Congratulations to you and Robert on the new house. Have fun with all the renovations. Personally, I like the mirror on the wall in the kitchen because it brings more light to the space. Something else you may want to consider is creating closets underneath the staircases if that's possible. Gives you much more storage. Thanks for the tour!

[@pay1370]

something tells me that under the paint of your stairs is the same colour wood as the doors, maybe try stripping those? if it does match it would help with that door standing out like a sore thumb

[@kittimcconnell2633]

How superb! I think the gold accent ceiling would be fun in some places, the kitchen definitely not. Love that door with the yellow glass, I hope you can fit it into your scheme. Think of daisies with their beautiful golden centers! Hooray for your craft room above stairs, that is wonderful. Congratulations!

[@lese91]

Congratulations!!!! I feel like your studio lends itself really well to a historical style of decorating like your clothing/hair interests and can’t wait to see!

[@Iifeisharder]

I actually really love the pink-ish toilet and bidet!

[@ChucknRachelN]

Ok, I know most probably won't agree with me but I love the lavender/pink in the bath room but also agree with you about the tub and shower lol. Congrats on your new home and I know you will make it lovely and perfect for you both. ❤️

[@iamjamilyn]

Congratulations! I have watched your journey for years now. I do believe your channel was my very first subscription... once I figured out what that even meant! LOL I have always loved your personality that comes through in your videos and I am so happy for you.

[@claudiagonzalez8686]

Tiny kitchen= quality everything!! Love those! 😁

[@joywarriorspack]

To make the kitchen bigger, you could easily take the wall down by the garden and make an enclosed patio style, conservatory style.

[@sb4759]

It is a cozy home and well cared for. It will be Fun to make it all your own.

[@ItsThatJo]

Congratulations, Lucy and Robert! I can't wait to see your visions for this house come true! It's going to look so beautiful when you're done!

[@joshenyou360]

Congratulations to you and Robbert!!!! What a lovely home you have. The excitement is real when you buy your first home. It is really nice that you can actually live there as it is and work on the updates as you go. BTW, your garden is lovely. :-)

[@fictionalhuman]

How lovely and exciting! I am looking forward to seeing all you do. Congratulations to you and Robbert!

[@eleabolar]

Catching up on old videos and am so happy for you!!! I know how badly you wanted a studio space of your own.

[@pheart2381]

thats really nice,not a plain featureless box. I love the archway and floors!

[@onelivestitcher]

Looks really good already and with all your plans and your things it will be home in no time. Congratulations!!🎉

[@indigosky9578]

I love your excitement Lucy! I’m so happy for you both. You’ve waited so long for this moment. Many blessings to you in your beautiful new home. Looking forward to the renovation vlogs.

[@MissLilyputt]

Bidets are really good. Once you get the hang of them, you’ll find they’re quite useful.

[@quixxovel]

I actually genuinely love that bathroom as it is

[@Hfin]

I love the flooring Robert also likes! It looks super high quality! I think you will be able to do a lot of styling with it!

[@ifinoexanthacos]

Best of luck in your new home!

[@Kara-feathertututiara]

Congratulations! Thanks for the tour, I love seeing older houses too because of the character. Speaking of which, I would leave one of the gold ceilings in honor of the history of the house and just tie it in with your design. That's what we did with some old glass doors. I wanted to keep some of the history. Congrats again!

[@octavia088]

The mauve bathroom fixtures and gold metal wall accents bring me back to the 80’s. It reminded me that when I was your age, the interiors of older folks’ homes were coated in mint green paint, a popular color in the 1950’s. If a home was advertised as “mint condition”, you knew it would need to be updated. 😊

[@BellicaMors]

So existed for you! Your new house is so cosy, and renovations sound so interesting. Can't wait for an update videous!

[@racheljames7]

It's gorgeous and you'll make it even more gorgeous, I'm sure. Congratulations.

[@magicianmana4]

Omg, it's amazing! A house for life :) I recommend removing all the carpet and replacing it with laminate. Carpet is just gross and laminate holds up much better. Also--just be cognizant that renovation costs can add up really quickly, and things can go awry once you start ripping up floors and tearing down walls. Just do things little by little over the years so you don't blow your budget :)

[@elainebye9090]

What a sweet house with soooooooo much potential! 😍 I am sure your life together will be so happy there. 😊

[@terev.]

Can't wait to watch the makeover videos

[@irisl7817]

I'm so happy for you and Robbert! What a wonderful new chapter and adventure this will be. This is a lovely house! I look forward to seeing the new house content. I think it suits the two of you perfectly. The way you've described your renovation and remodeling ideas, I can picture them all. You have such a clear vision and a wonderful (relatively blank) canvas. And, I know that your studio work space, is just going to be stunning! I am envious of that master bathroom. It is nice now, but it is going to be a dream when you renovate it.

[@PumpkinSpicedHorrorShow]

Why am I tearing up watching this?! I don’t even know you, but I’m just so flippin’ happy for you! The house is lovely and you SO deserve it. 🥰

[@jennifergrove2368]

A free standing bathtub is The Dreeeeam! I always wanted one. Probably easier to clean as well than our standard bathtubs here in the US which are up against a wall.

[@antareyamusic6994]

Congratulations!

[@bonniecolleenpappin8807]

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed seeing your new house and what you call outdated. We are still living with our ensuite bathroom in 1977 Harvest Gold that badly needs replacing. Yours is probably 30 years younger. Enjoy your new venture and thanks for taking us along with you. Best wishes.

[@jmcmurrah]

Bidets are great... you might want to wait on that decision. The house is lovely... and you're young, so you have lots of time to make all your changes. Great purchase! Lovely wallpaper choices!

[@JenneeB927]

Congratulations, Lucy! I'm so happy for you and Robert💖💖💖💖

[@melissaandreag]

What a darling little space! I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I LOVE that brown door that leads to the hallway. I also love the gold cabinet knobs in the kitchen; I would totally remove those from the cabinets once replaced and keep them for something else. Congrats!

[@nanciumphres9001]

Very exciting! Looking forward to seeing your renovations!!

[@hannayoung9657]

Loepsie, my Dutch had this type of kitchen and changed for an IKEA kitchen and ended up with empty shelfs , which was for him odd because the kitchen didnt get bigger, just better planned.

[@zenign]

Looks like the previous design was mostly a mixture of late 80s to 90s design scheme with the kitchen and bath being a mild art deco / Hollywood regency revival and the attic carpet the geometric print that's so popular from the late 80s to 90s. All of these trends have made a comeback in the past 10 years or so, just in a more bubbly and pastel color scheme and a focus on different geometric shapes. I guess my point is that a lot of what we consider "outdated" can be traced back to a certain art and fashion style, which are all cyclical. If pastel deco is your thing the kitchen would look cute with just a simple color update and the right accessories. If it's not your style, then they will still go. But it's always nice to consider what original style these "old things" are trying to go for to expand your design ideas. Working with an existing style is always much cheaper and less work :)

[@kellylouise7857]

So pleased for you guys. I cannot wait to see house project videos x

**excited screaming** It's here and time! May God bless your new home for every year it will serve you from here on out.

[@Snakeplisskin440]

Home ownership is so fun (and terrible at the same time) Just keep money saved in a special spot for unfortunate things. The amount I've spent doing fun things with my house I've spent doing the not so fun things (replacing hot water tank, AC/Furnace, windows, water meter reader) Best advice really is look for a good overall design. I think a lot of people first time just kind of randomly gather things they love but then it feels mixmatched (if that's what you want) but I think most the time people want to keep it fluid through the house. We kind of did themes per areas of the house. The bedroom downstairs is beachy, with a palm tree, a VW Beetle bus tapestry. My computer room is forest themed. I have a lot of furniture I built myself in here including a live edge coffee table, and a tapestry of some mountains. The living room is desert. I've got a lot of succulents, cactus, the rugs and stuff kind of fit into it. Don't stress. There's always gonna be stuff you wanna do.

[@baidykle1]

What a beautiful house! We're also looking for our first house now in Zeeland. But from what I can tell, our budget is much much smaller lol 😅 houses that are even more out-dated are in our budget and it will be a long process to update them probably. Good luck with all your renovations! I loved the second (green) wallpaper you chose.
