EMPTY FARMHOUSE TOUR| Somers In Alaska Vlogs

[@behniwal08]

The beams! The fireplace! The pantry! The barn doors! Definitely seems like this house was worth the wait.

[@kathylaw4750]

Very nice new home real home is the laughter in your home with the kids running around playing

[@jenniferphillips4765]

The house is crooked in that square of land. Am I the only one that noticed or did anyone else see?! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOME, I LOVE THE HARDWOOD FLOORS AND THE RICH WHITE. IT MAKES IT LOOKS RICH AND CLEAN. I GREW UP IN A 24000 SQF HOME ON A LAKE. AND IT ALSO HAD SOMEWHAT OF A A FRAME FRONT WINDOW BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS A BARN SHAPE. FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TREE'S WE WOULD GO WALK INTO THE WOODS AND CUT DOWN OUR OWN TREE.. WE HAD A 18 FOOT, 16 FOOD AND A 14 FOOT TREE. ILL NEVER FORGET IT. AND THE NEW SMELL OF IT! THE WOOD AND CARPET. LOVE IT. CONGRATS

[@Pankakesvswaffles]

Cute! One thing if you flipped the right door to your master bath when they close it would make a star/snowflake shape with the wood work. That could be super cute.

[@fsoileau]

The number one list item to building the perfect home is a loving happy family, where a one room log cabin can be "that perfect place" .That said we can "check that box off for the happy family" . It's the "Kitchen Pantry" connected to the garage I find an outstanding idea. I would bet it took 10 years and hundreds of trips lugging groceries though the house to come up with that idea and a good one it is.

[@mylouisianahome9751]

Congratulations on your new home! It's beautiful. You are going to have so much fun decorating and figuring out where things go.

[@debbiehardy8962]

You are very blessed!!!! Enjoy!!!!!

[@cpr6760]

I love, love, love your home! Yes, I said home, not house, because I believe a house is just a building where people live without caring or being invested, but a home is a place full of love, caring and sharing! THIS is a HOME!

[@Lyn4817]

You have done a wonderful job designing and building your home? It is truly awesome. Simply love all your power outlets and light switches as well as the nest. There is nothing I don't like or would change. For six people, the footprint is brilliant, you will all be able find space for contemplation instead of being on top of each other. I sincerely hope you will both have many, many years to enjoy your gorgeous home, watching your children grow and transition through the various stages of their lives and welcoming their families.

[@maureenleone8480]

Agree with places your tree near doors- you will be able to enjoy the view of it from any angle in the space- even from your kitchen

[@alyssatifverman1257]

I started watching your family vlogs back in 2015. Although I have been super busy with school, it is AMAZING to see how much your channel has grown over the past few years and that you finally moved into your dream home!

[@sarahcoffin3265]

What a beautiful home. You have been a blessing to many people. I have no doubt that God with continue to do great things through your family and the hospitality​ desire that He has placed on your hearts. Love how open and light your new home is. Perfect for our dark winters.

[@leaahpitkaa776]

[@desibrenton614]

So cool to see your house completed in time for the holidays. It’s looks amazing💕🏡

[@aliciamiller2419]

Im so happy to have found 1 of your vlogs a couple months ago. You guys have a changed my outlook on life and changed my outlook on how a happy family should be. I have watched a lot of your videos waiting for new videos. I really wish you guys in the future will try and get a show on TV. I will definitely never miss an episode. Thanks for sharing everything you do and being open and honest. I hope you guys have a great first morning in your house when it comes. I know that's going to be the best rewarding feeling when you wake up in your new home.

[@SomersInAlaska]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so blessed to have you in our KZbin family:)

[@aliciamiller2419]

@@SomersInAlaska I'm smiling ear-to-ear that you replied back to me. I would love to meet you and your family in the future. My fiance's always wanted to move to Alaska. Keep us updated. We can't wait to see your place with all your furniture and things in it. and I am blessed to have found one of your videos. You guys have changed my perspective of life and my perspective of how to raise my children. Stay happy healthy and safe. Love Alicia and the family

[@colonelswife5837]

Love love love your new home!!!! You guys have worked so hard getting it completed. Well deserved! I think the tree should go by the door. Perfect spot!

[@nascarfan2938]

Hi Somers Family. My name is Amanda and i have starting watching your videos a few weeks ago. I loved what you did to your new house. I hope that you enjoy your new house and make new memories in your new place.

[@MeAndMollyMoo]

It’s beautiful! So carefully planned out, a perfect family home. You must be so proud. Thanks for the tour.

[@kimberlygathings2936]

Absolutely stunning congrats you guys on your new home now the only thing left is to fill the house with laughter and make alot of memories .

[@LindaY26]

I just subscribed and already love you guys! My husband is an HVAC guy, so I have to show him your home. I’m looking forward to watching more vlogs.

[@emilyirene2806]

You guys are super blessed to build your home. It is absolutely beautiful and I one day would want to build my own home. Each room is perfect. Everyone loves the kitchen but I’m in love with that BATH! relaxation is my top priority in life. I can’t wait to see the furnishing. It’s going to come out beautiful. Keep up the good work mama on being a great person!

[@Soccerroxz10]

Such a beautiful home! You guys worked so hard and it paid off! Awesome job!!!

[@helenwelch3020]

Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful home. Christmas tree by the back door.

[@paigehardy4359]

Your home is beautiful. You should be so proud of yourselves for doing so much of it yourselves and for paying for it out of pocket for so long. Such an accomplishment! A beautiful place to raise your family.

[@runusarkar5157]

So so adorable family ❤️God Bless your family ❤️ lot of love from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mariacadena4624]

Wow congrats on your new home I love it 😉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@gothgurl2809]

When you started crying i started. And you guys are making me think of my walk with Jesus and how i need to get back to knowing Him. So thank you for that.

[@bobshaw4063]

How about a nice upholstered bench in your walk in closet to sit on when your getting dressed ? The house is beautiful . It came out really nice . Thanks for the tour .

[@bobshaw4063]

I just subscribed to your channel .

[@bobshaw4063]

From start to finish how long would ya's say it took to build your home ?so you could move in & live in it ?

[@bobshaw4063]

Bert were you born & raised in Alaska ?

[@bobshaw4063]

What is the square footage of your huge home ?

[@earthstar7534]

Investing that much is worth it. We bought our forever home last year and its so worth it to be content and calm. It really quiets the noise of life and lets you appreciate it more.

[@wasmorton]

Amazing home! I’ve never been envious of anyone’s house, until now. You have created the perfect home to finish raising your children. Just imagine the memories to come...this will be where your children bring your grandchildren for holidays. Wow! Congrats, job well done.

[@imalittletippett]

What a lovely home. You guys created something so beautiful together. 👏💜 Congratulations. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labor.

[@KatherineWalden]

So happy for you guys, my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much as you gave the tour ! Love your strategy for family interaction, small bedrooms, large meeting areas. The views from those huge windows - awesome!

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

What a gorgeous home

[@susanporter3399]

Beautiful home for a beautiful family

[@katmacie2369]

The Christmas tree should go in option 1- that would look really nice, I'm so happy you didn't paint the fireplace like you were talking about during the build. It looks so warm with the more natural stone color. The barn doors and beans all look really nice with the neutral colors. I hope you guys can sit down and finally enjoy your beautiful home!

[@jbf2045]

So exciting, congrats! Love the black & white floor tile! I just picked that out for my small downstairs bathroom too!

[@scmeron]

I just found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it!!! Your love is AMAZING! Your house is PERFECTION! Hardwork pays off.

[@Karla6454]

I just stumbled across your Vlogs and I am glad I did. Thanks for sharing your lives with the world.. BTW Love love your new home..

[@MMyers-mh4jq]

We used to live in Fairbanks and Anchorage and I can’t wait to get back but we loved Anchorage ( eagle river area)

[@kelleycoleman3056]

Congrats to you on your new house. I enjoy your blogs and the kids.

[@victoriavanskiver2729]

Welcome home guys may the Lord bless your family and your home...you all did an amazing job congrats

[@fallemations3466]

Love the words of affirmation from your husband to you at the end! What a godly husband!!!

[@VictoriouslyBroken]

I LOVE your house! This might seem like a strange thing, but one of the things that I love most about your house is how many electrical outlets y’all have! I live in a very old farmhouse (in south central Pennsylvania) and there are definitely not enough electrical outlets in my house. I also absolutely love the sliding barn doors and the large pantry! Beautiful house!

[@kirstenberra2939]

Your house is so beautiful! I cannot wait for the updated full house tour! Congrats Bert & Jessica and kids! 😁💕🌲

[@DDee-oi6kn]

Wow - beautiful home! Bet you are so excited to finally move in - worth the wait!

What a lovely space to call home !!! I wish you nothing but health and happiness and dreams fulfilled for the entire family...May God bless your home and the family that lives under its’ roof :)...Hugs and love !!

[@thetapequeen5489]

Your home turned out beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Taking the time to express how grateful you are for it was the most beautiful part of all the tour and that's saying a lot. May God bless you with many years of happiness and special memories in your new home.

[@CynthiaMUrban]

Love the fireplace unpainted...Good choice....God bless your family....

[@KarenHoyt-Bonkahoney3]

Their fireplace has the same colors in it that our fireplace does and I love it!

[@BrilliantLove2]

So beautiful!!!! Option number 1 for the Christmas tree! Just a wonderful house you all deserve this!!! So much love!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@grandcatsmama3421]

You have a beautiful home! My late husband and I had people staying with us in our apartment. He was a rescuer, he wanted to start a shelter, to help people. We never had the money, we rescued cats instead. They were much cheaper to rescue. People don't always want to help you financially even though you feed them. I hope you can help people who will appreciate your help. Love, hugs and kitty kisses. (That's when they touch noses.)

[@mrcu8176]

Beautiful family and beautiful house ...congratulations ! You are blessed !

[@NoelSeymourEST2023]

I’m so glad you have finally finished your dream home! God is so GREAT!

[@mel88hk]

On the right side of the fireplace the tree 🌲. it reminds me of a Christmas story🎄

[@jamiehomrich1797]

Your home looks AMAZING! I love the idea of the fireplace being able to warm up your whole house and not just the living room. Christmas tree option #2!

[@dannie52874]

Oh!! That insert leading up to the school room should be a bulletin board! You can decorate it with the kiddos for holidays or themes you’re learning. Put a spotlight on it! 😄

[@fun30013]

I love the fireplace too. The brick is gorgeous, unpainted is the way to go. Christmas tree left of the fireplace would be awesome. Congrats guys and welcome home and thank you for sharing this journey. It was fun to tag along.

[@Dianawho1966]

Absolutely beautiful home for a wonderful family. The love that you put into this home shows in all the little details. I am so happy and excited that you have achieved this dream. You are very blessed. It is so wonderfully refreshing watching you share your faith.

[@lynettebays428]

Congratulations Somers Family! Looking forward to watching you live life in your beautiful new home!!!

[@PhantomGirl1988]

i think you should do option 1 for the tree one year, and then try option 2 for another year just to test out both areas to see which would look best for the tree. and OMG I love those CLOSETS!!! and that master bathroom, and the kitchen...I love everything about this house! I cannot wait to see how it looks when everything is inside, I hope you do another house tour when you get everything and everyone all moved in

[@ssss-io5ct]

Beautiful home! The fireplace looks really good unpainted a nice contrast since everything else is so light!

[@maryq4546]

So happy for your family! The house is spectacular! I love it! I cant wait to see everything moved in! God Bless you all!!!

[@susanshughart8343]

Reminds me of my A frame. My living room was huge also. My son could put his tent up( he was little) and he rode his tricycle all around. It was hard to make it feel cozy.But I'm not a great decorator.

[@rachelnuttall9309]

Just came across you guys and your vlogs and really enjoying it. The house is absolutely beautiful and so worth all the hard work. Such an inspiration 🤩

[@jenniferpressley8951]

OMG!!! It’s so beautiful.... Congratulations on finishing your dream home. I pray for many happy years for your family in your new home!!

[@joycebrowne8754]

Bert and Jessica you both are such humble people and God's loving servants. He knows both of your hearts and he knows what you're trying to do and when you serve the Lord He blesses you abundantly even though you had to work so hard for what you have received. The Lord knows that you are going to be serving his people now and in the future. When you serve God and you are servants to God's people the Lord will keep blessing you over and over. I am so thankful that the Lord has put y'all in my life and you're such an inspiration Jessica and Bert. You can see the Lord through your actions and how you carry yourself on the vlog. I have not been with you very long yet I feel as if I've known you my whole entire life in person and one day maybe the Lord will allow me to meet you. One thing I know I've watched so many of your back vlogs I know when you can see a man of God and a woman of God. Your children are so loving and beautiful. Very well behaved... as we all know children will be children...yet when you raise them in the right way as you have you can see the beauty of the Lord that shines through those children. God bless each and everyone of you and I am so happy that you have such a beautiful home it is absolutely gorgeous and you and Bert well deserve what you have. All the choices that you have made Jessica there gorgeous. God bless you and don't forget to say hi to your mothers. Your friend and sis in Christ.

[@RiannaNicole]

Months later, I'm so happy for ya'll. Your journey and the feels, knowing it's done and it's super close to all that you wanted, with things that can be tweaked if/when needed, that's the best way to be/think of things. I'm so grateful to your journey, as well as your gracious minds to share your home plans, let alone the journey of creating such a masterpiece! It's a work of art. My boyfriend and I are saving up for our home, renting a fairly cheap place in PA (9/11 crash site area...just commented on the Q&A earlier) to get our savings up. We are much like ya'll, just without the little ones. I like the aesthetics, but I do also like the functionality and saving money down the road (like the heating aspect ya'll did with that fireplace). The man of the house likes the technical stuff like "fireplace helps with heat" "double pane windows" type thing (with winters less harsh than ya'll, triple is a bit much, but we're still figuring out where to plant ourselves come getting our home...we're planning on staying in the lower 48). I'll definitely have ya'll on a loop once we get serious about the house! Ya'll are too good! May this house be a blessing for ya'll and all the best memories outweigh the cost of it!

[@Shelleyc1972]

Cannot wait to see the tour decorated, too!! This home is gorgeous! You have great design aesthetic!

[@cherylemaybury2540]

I am new to your channel but I just had to comment on your beautiful house. It is just stunning and I hope very much that you will enjoy it and make wonderful family memories there. I went to Alaska in September 2016 on a cruise and I loved it so much that I dream of coming back one day and get to stay on land. The scenery is so spectacular and the wildlife was awesome. I live at the beach in Australia so my lifestyle is the polar opposite of yours but I would love to spend some real time discovering the beauty of your world. Your home is so awesome.

[@donnathierjung6266]

Any body else click like before they even watched the video ? I simply adore your family and love your videos ! God bless you and your beautiful family ❤️🙏🏼

[@margaretbedwell58]

Y'all have built a beautiful home with so many special details. So well thought through and I love the fact the pantry is off the garage...how great that will be in the winter especially. A little hint on the pantry...line up your canned goods in alphabetical order, vegetables on one shelf and fruit on the other. Baking supplies together in one spot also cereals in one spot. Then when grocery shopping you can look at a glance as you leave for the store what you are low on or what you are out of completely. Anyone can help put the groceries away because they are always in the same place. This is something I did when I was in school food service because we had to take inventory once a month and the sheets were in alphabetical order. Feeding 250 to 300 children a day was a lot of food. Can you just imagine how long that chore would take if everything were put in just any spot on a shelf. Well worth the effort now as you begin to stock these empty shelves. Have a Blessed day and thank you so much for sharing all your great ideas with us.

[@sharon22669]

Hi!!! My 4 year old granddaughter is binge watching your videos! We really appreciate you sharing your journey called life with us. You have such a beautiful home. May I ask what flooring did you use? We need to buy new flooring and yours is stunning. The wood flooring. Thank you!
