Oh my Keeley, you are amazing. With everything happening on the business side, moving is a huge task and you and hubby seem to manage it with ease. Your back yard is glorious and will look fantastic once you whip it into shape. It is sad and frustrating when tenants will leave behind all the stuff they don't want, but will make sure they take the things they want to keep (but never actually tell you that item is not part of the sale). Your two new rooms are going to be great for you to be creative in and your 'She-Shed' is huge. Fingers Crossed it will all smooth sailing from here. Good Luck and thanks for keeping us all updated on your progress. xx ✨✨💖💖

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 it's made us laugh what they took and what they left. It's frustrating as where we are now, the tips are free (part of rates), but where we're going, they charge a fortune, so it's going to cost us. We're trying to bring as much back on each trip as possible. But despite it all, we love the place.

[@anac286]

I've been following and watching your videos for a few years now, I'm not the kind of person to get involved and comment etc... but I just had to stop now and say how absolutely wonderful that garden is! A little peace of heaven on earth and, even though you weren't keen on the Buddah statue, it makes it look so much more serene. The sound of birds and other wildlife is so spectacular, it really went right through my heart, so I couldn't not say something this time. I'm incredibly happy for you and you're such an inspiration in the way you run your business. I hope once my little one is a bit bigger I'll be able to get back to my own business as well

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you so much 🧡 I do agree the Buddah adds to the peace and serenity but I think my SIL will be disappointed if she can't have it. Enjoy your time with your little one - you can't get that time back but can grow your business at any time

[@Grumpy_gurl]

Love the kitchen,I’d be so happy with a big kitchen like that. In the US we have living rooms and family rooms. Living room is usually the first room closest to front door. Family room is usually like a bonus room or something. In my family growing up, we never had a TV in the living room because that is where we entertained company. The family room was for watching TV.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I'm looking forward to cooking our first meal in the kitchen. I think we watch all the wrong moving house shows here where they call them reception rooms 😆 I've always known them as living and family rooms. Definitely no telly going in my room, but I have to have some music

[@nicolesimms4883]

Congrats on your new Home. Love the garden 🪴

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I can't wait to tidy the garden up

[@meflagg3741]

oh Keeley i am so happy for you and hubby. you are going to really enjoy your new spaces. truly a dream come true.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 we're looking forward to our first night in the house

[@sharonv5353]

Best wishes in your new home! I pray to have a kitchen like yours when/if I ever move! I’d be jealous, but I’m so happy for you both.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I'm still stunned about the kitchen. Can't wait to cook our first meal there

[@evehsv5556]

How exciting Keeley it’s a beautiful home Congratulations to you and your Husband it’ll be even nicer once you guys put your own touch to it. The yard is very nice. Make sure you rest up along the way. Thanks for bringing us along. 😊

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 although we've worked hard, every time we get to the house, we feel this calm wash over us, which is so relaxing.

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

So happy for you Keeley. I don't think any house sale seems to go smoothly. You have a gorgeous spot. It's a real tree change isn't it. The bird life will be spectacular in the mornings. Kitchen looks amazing. Love the "Gin Bar" sign. Can't wait to see your new store when it all happens.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I just wish the agents had more morals. It's not hard 😞 we've always talked about getting a house in a little country town and can't believe we found what we wanted.

[@debbiesaulnier3101]

Congratulations 🎊🎈 🎉 so happy for you guys!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@bitofalather]

Congratulations on buying such a beautiful home with an amazing garden. I'm sure you will both be very happy there ❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 we keep finding surprises in the garden and I can't wait to explore more

[@Terra_Momo]

WOW WOW WOW!! Your new home is so well-equipped with many function rooms & your kitchen is stunning, plus a spacious outdoor garden area (despite those lies...), seeing you gals moving to your dream place like seeing two lovebirds flying from the nest to the dreamy palace. I hope people do respect each others' privacy. Running a youtube channel doesn't mean to expose all your personal and family life to the public, we love seeing you from making soaps to feeding birds and I'm also dying to wait for the monthly vlog, but the content should be those you wanna share, I'd love to see what earrings you wear but doesn't mean I'd need to know what color your bedding quilt is using now. Congratulations to you & Matt again~~p.s. Ted the bear should find himself a good place in the big home soon.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 and thank you for your understanding 🧡 Ted will get his usual spot back on the spare bed when we move in. For now, he's relaxing in my egg chair 😆

[@karenhunter5753]

Your craft and book room and kitchen are amazing, so happy for you!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I'm really looking forward to setting the rooms up

[@bonnafide2606]

Nope. It's called a living room here in the US, too. I'll be excited to see what you're able to do in the back garden. Congratulations! 🎊 🏡🏡🎉

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I'll definitely keep you updated. That's interesting on the room names. We watch a lot of the building and moving shows, and they call them a few different names

[@cheryl739]

Amazing bird sounds! What a lovely home. I can fully understand why you both wanted it. It's beautiful! Cheers & Blessings 👍🤗

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 we're still stunned that we got it

[@tinapierson1275]

Congratulations on the new home. It is absolutely lovely, and the kitchen is magnificent.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 we can't wait to move in permanently

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

The sounds of the QLD nature is just so beautiful. I miss those sounds as my dad used to live in Innisvale QLD and it sounded similar- a real slice of paradise. Congratulations and can’t wait to see the shop you set up n future

[@SoyandShea]

Innisvale is such a lovely place. We lived in Cairns and Port Douglas for years and loved the sounds. I've always loved visiting the areas that have whip birds and so excited we get to hear them all the time now plus the Rosella's. I'll definitely share the new shop adventure

[@NelsonInteriorSoapery]

@@SoyandShea yay. Exciting.

[@jaynegodwin3412]

Congratulations on your new home.your garden is beautiful and I love your kitchen it is so big .Amazing bird sound ,what a beautiful peaceful place to live .Wishing you and hubby all the best 😊xx

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 the peace and serenity of the yard is amazing. I'll definitely be enjoying breakfast outside

[@sherrymartindale8582]

So gorgeous!! I absolutely love all the greenery and privacy you have:) I live out in the country so I can relate to the peacefulness you have❤ Congratulations and thank you for sharing 🥰

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 the peace is something we have both craved for so long

[@jilljackson4097]

Looks absolutely gorgeous Keeley. The birds sound lovely. You will be all settled before you know it 😅

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 only 6-7 weeks then we can really move in

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Wow the new house is very different from your old home isn't it? I will kind of miss all the beautiful birds hanging out on the veranda But I'm certain that in your new home, as the native birds come to realise how much you enjoy them, you will soon have new feathered friends visiting you there. ❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 yes it's very different and we're looking forward to no stairs. We have see a few of the birds come down onto the fence and I want to plant more native bushes to attract them.

[@sallyradcliffe-hh6ud]

Such beautiful and peaceful surrounds. When I am grown up I plan on moving back country side..😂

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I love how peaceful and calm it is

[@mooboomeltsandmore9519]

Absolutely beautiful 😍 I bet you can’t wait to wake up in your beautiful home 🩷

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 we're looking forward to moving in and having breakfast on the patio

[@joytomasevic9679]

So exciting for you and hubby! ❤❤❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@Slippyxr]

Congrats on the new home. It looks lovely and peaceful. You'll love the Miele steam oven. We had a free-standing benchtop one and used it often. Steamed chicken breast was so good.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I'm looking forward to the day we actually move in. I have had steam baskets for almost as long as I've lived away from home and recent got an electric steamer as the baskets go mouldy 😢 I'm so excited to have a steam oven as that's one gadget I don't need to find a home for 😆 it will get usef lots

[@savanah1407]

What a lovely oasis! I’m so happy for you!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@judithshaw640]

Congratulations!! What a beautiful home And workspace. I wish you and hubby all the best in your new place.. It's always fun decorating a new place, hang in here for the pitbulls that will be a distant memory soon - Judith @ Eden Bound Soap.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I can't wait to get into it properly and put our touch on

[@medikaorganics]

Omg I'm just so happy for you. It looks incredible and I'm sure you'll have it perfect before long. That kitchen 😍😍 what a dream!! Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I can't wait to get in the garden and set up all the rooms

[@medikaorganics]

@@SoyandShea I bet 🥰

[@alisonbaker1963]

Your new home looks amazing. So excited for you.🎉❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@chrissiejoy]

Oh my gosh Keeley! I am so happy for you - what a lovely home and oh wow! that back creek and forest and those amazing bird sounds - WOW! What an incredible Australian dream home you have found. I have no doubt you will love love love living there. And, because you know someone would ask so it had to be (lol) - but what brand coffee machine is that? Excited to watch this part of yours and hubbys new chapter in your lifes journey unfold xx I admit I got a bit sad thinking how much Lucy would have loved it at your new place x Im sure you had the same thought. So happy you will get another puppy soon but so we can watch him/her grow. And did I mention how incredible those bird sounds were! lol... bet you maggies will miss you at your old home. Doing a big happy dance for you x

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 we can believe we get a private forest and creek. I did say to hubby that both of our dogs would have loved this place. Rollie used to love water, and Lucy loved the forest. Hopefully, when we get a new dog, they'll love it too. We love listening to the birds. There are quite a number of species in the forest, and we plan on adding more native plants to the yard. I have a Breville coffee machine that takes the nespresso pods. I've had it for a few years now and love it.

[@virginiaschott4482]

Congratulations on your new home.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@TessieDobey]

Mother-in-law Tongue, yup, sharp and pointy!!

[@SoyandShea]

😂 possibly how it got its name. Thankfully, I have a great MIL. I'll definitely be taking it out, as I don't like the plant

[@dieseephuis]

I'm so excited for you!

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡

[@sarahconklin1256]

Congratulations❣️❣️❣️ it’s a beautiful property❣️

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@tassiegirl1991]

Keeley,all the best with the rest of the move, what a stuff around you had with handover. Oops forgot it looks a great place to live

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@DawnShipley1977]

They are called a living room in the US...I have never heard reception room....this it true at least for the western side of the country.

[@SoyandShea]

I think we watch the wrong house moving shows 😆 but good to know we call them the same

[@fionar1656]

What an amazing home & property. What ashame you had to deal with such crap before you got to start moving in. Hope the rest of it goes smoothly.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 it's a shame that the agents can't be honest. But it's all getting better

[@wickedlee]

You two are the cutest couple. Watching you have to climb up in the back of the trailer while Matt just stepped up was too funny.

[@SoyandShea]

😂 I often laugh at how different we are. Winter is very funny. I go out in jumpers, scarf, hat, gloves and coat and shiver like crazy. Matt goes out in shorts and T-shirt 😆

[@yvetterees4075]

Despite all the hiccups I'm so thrilled for you moving into your sanctuary, thank you for the sneak peek x

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 thankfully it is a our dream home, so the hiccups feel small 🧡

[@lolly1299]

How beautiful

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@user-ud5ls6is2f]

Congratulations on the new house & the kitchen is certainly my envy lol. Will hubby have more of traveling for his work since you have moved the approx 1 1/2 hr away from where you are currently.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I can't believe we've got such a beautiful kitchen. Hubby is looking for work closer to the new house, and we're hoping he can get a job transfer as they own property where we are moving too.

[@user-ud5ls6is2f]

I am sure everything will work out exactly how you want it to. To new beginnings & dreams coming true 💕

[@marieskillings7138]

Gorgeous and peaceful congratulations to you and yours

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠

[@relevant.c5411]

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 it's so calming

[@sonya-turtletidesart-whits8578]

Congrats guys looks great will you still keep your shop open or move it also 👍

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I will be relocating the shop too as we're moving about 1.5 hours away on a good day. I've already found a shop I would like just hoping I can get it

[@DawnOrganics]

❤❤❤

[@DawnShipley1977]

Beautiful home. Are you going t grow another vanilla orchid?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 I have brought my vanilla orchid to the new home and am trying to work out where to put it

[@cheskydivision]

Congratulations, definitely don’t show too much of the out side. Dont want random fans showing up. I like the statues. .

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠 it's not the fans that worry me, it's the ones that have alternative motives that you have to worry about 😞 but it's also so hubby can keep his life private 🧡

[@littletawelan443]

Oh my that is one amazing home, I couldn’t be happier for you if I tried congratulations 😘🎉🧁🍷🍾🍸

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🏠
