🧋Sunday Vlog | New House Tour, Tidying Up, Making Boba

[@thatthomaslife195]

We used to use our formal dining room as a coffee shop type area. I had a couch and a buffet with my coffee stuff. It was so nice to relax there.

[@julesacree]

Ooh I love that idea!! I’ll search Pinterest for coffee buffet areas

[@kaciesunshine]

That is genius! Note to self for whenever I have a house lol

[@arrisreflections]

Just a quick not about those glass & steel doors you mentioned - glass is really tough acoustically. It's hard to sound dampen, so what you say will leak out into the house, and very echo-y because it's a hard surface, so sound bounces right off it it. If you're planning to film all your KZbin videos in there you might want to take that into consideration and get some sound dampening curtains, instead of plain ones. Maybe some sound panels for your ceiling too. Glass can also interfere with wifi/cell service because it doesn't pass through very well, so having a router/extender/repeater will probably be necessary too. I used to be an operations manager for real estate and glass doors/walls in conference rooms was the bain of my experience because of these issues I just mentioned.

[@julesacree]

Ooh very interesting and good to know! I’ll look into it - thank you

[@jensteinleyoga]

Thanks for sharing house and life updates! If it were me, I’d use the extra space as a meditation/reading room. Excited to see how it all comes together 😊

[@julesacree]

Love it!!

[@kiragrimes6001]

New house is looking amazing!!! Remembering the days when my family's house was under construction and it can be so overwhelming, so sending positive vibes your way. Singing in this video was also top notch!!

[@keric3673]

I have my “dining space” as a reading area. Large wall of bookshelves, a comfortable chair with ottoman and a random stationary bike (only gym equipment we have) and a small corner for a craft table

[@julesacree]

Oooh a craft table

[@mekenaharvey]

Any extra room would become a plant room for me🌿💛

[@julesacree]

Not a bad idea 😂💕

[@keridawn6456]

Plant/yoga/meditation room?

[@cheyennegarcia2113]

SAME 🙌🏼😂❤🌿

[@patrycjaprzygoda1817]

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! YES! PLEASE! ALWAYS! Definitely the best band ever🖤 Anyway, congrats on a great Sunday vlog! You inspire and motivates me every time so thank you for that! I love your work and can't wait to see more of your house design process :)

[@ablalamrani5799]

Love loved this type of video. I like the variety of the length and types of your videos!

[@julesacree]

Aw yay I’m glad!

[@stephhillrabasa]

Loved this video. Your house is coming together so beautifully! Such high ceilings!! “Coffee shop/reading vibes” is super cute idea, but depends on overall aesthetic/tone. Like there’s people who are super into large art pieces or records players/dancing/cocktails foyer room. Anyway, you’re a couple with great taste - so no doubt it’ll come out fabulous!

[@lischen6938]

Hi! New here! Loved this video! I also loved a The challenge about setting the routines, mind, house…it makes me want to have a tidy life too! Love the see more about the house and how it evolves! Big hug from Portugal!

[@TheExtrovertedHomebody]

Love seeing your house in process! I consult for apartment buildings and I love looking at the framing and guessing how things will look at the end. Over here in Seattle most houses just have a single dinning room/dinning area within the kitchen area, didn’t know it was common to have a formal dinning area in addition to a dinning table in the kitchen area. I always dream about having a reading/ relaxing room, where there’s no TV and I can just read, journal, enjoy my morning coffee, and do yoga.

[@julesacree]

I like the idea of a relaxation room!

[@ninai6608]

Depending on the direction of light your dining room will get and whether you can adjust things like creating larger windows and/or putting in skylights, I'd say make it into a sunroom. Since you're a sun lover you may be happy to have a space to enjoy the sun as if you're outside all year round.

[@carolinevuchetich1758]

growing up we had "sitting room" in the formal dining area. that was just a place to chat without a tv in the room. It's also where my brother learned the piano, so I'm sure it'll evolve if you choose to grow your fam. All that said, I would totally do a reading nook if it was my home! Happy Home Making!

[@withhelenblog]

I love the layout already! I'm so excited for you! For the extra area, maybe a bookroom or little home cafe area?

[@julesacree]

Love love home cafe AND book room mayberr

[@cheyennegarcia2113]

The house we lived in when I was younger had a formal dinning room area that we had as a reading area. 😊 It had 2 large comfy chairs with ottomans and book cases along with an area for our sound system and a stand for our home phone (before cell phones were mainstream lol) 😂

[@gracenevitt]

love these little slice of life vlogs !!!! more of this :)

[@devinnegrete]

Hey! Would definitely love to hear about your process in buying your plot and building a home. Definitely a goal of mine but have no idea where to start or how to do so in the utmost affordable way!

[@teachernatalieandrade8906]

Loved this vlog!!! Do it more!!!

[@xbunheadx]

Reading nook/small library in place of the formal dining area

[@JulianneChristine]

I tear up as well when I sing along to My Chemical Romance!! They are the best! And you are such joyful person, it makes my day!

[@julesacree]

Aww thank you!!

[@leahbaker3916]

Hey there👋 West Elm designer here. Just wanted to give you a couple notes 1) West Elm offers complementary design services for you. We can do floor planning, help curate rooms, help with flow, help find the best fabrics/materials that are pet friendly, etc. You can either stop in to your Austin showroom or book a consultation online. They are hour long sessions via Zoom or in-store. They are 100% free, we only use our merchandise to furnish & style your rooms. 2) Our lead times are June-August for anything upholstered. Most of our products are made over seas so there are long wait times. Every day that you wait to order you can easily add a week-a month for delivery etas. 3) You should always order either in store or over the phone with your Austin showroom because that way if you have any issues you can have a real life person advocate for you instead of you just calling customer service for issues. By placing the order with your local showroom it supports that location & its employees vs. just buying it online. Good luck with this new chapter it’s stressful but fun! Be well -Leah

[@julesacree]

Oh wow! Had no idea that was a service y’all had. Will look into it since a lot of the furniture we want is from west elm anyways haha

[@andreavargasmungaray2440]

Sun room/ plant room/ library would be my dream

[@carladevilliers2336]

New subscriber! Love your content! Will be binging all your videos this weekend. Lots of love from South Africa!! 🌈

[@ktktktktkt29]

Looks like you new home is in hill county area, with lots of oaks and cedar.. peaceful and lovely

[@marissacampos]

Would be so cute to have like a library with floor to ceiling built-ins and a little reading nook in the formal dining room area. You can read there and have your morning matcha there :) Ps. love the long vlogs!!!

[@jeannelle_]

Omg loving your place already haha! So much room, can’t wait until it’s fully built! 👌🏽

[@julesacree]

We are so excited!! Hopefully not too many more delays

[@nancydee6106]

Also I watched if you videos of yours and you are mentioning the Tmj problem. I had the same thing. The culprit for me was caffeine. Any kind of caffeine anything from black tea green tea Matcha coffee and chocolate! Fyi my friend also had the same experience, she didn’t want to give up the coffee too, but we did and its gone.

[@williamclark1244]

How about making a plant wall in that area and add in a reading nook with a window seat/bench. As for butternut squash soup, its best to make your own from scratch. Its amazing when its fresh. And a thumbs up for West Elm! Fair Trade AND eco - friendly :)

[@osanegumo]

Your videos inspire me so much!!

[@xstefx08]

That butt slap made my whole day 😂 Regular occurrence in my kitchen as well, I didn't even blink until y'all reacted

[@cecenealon-shapiro2428]

thanks for the vlog! can you share the boba tea recipe you used?

[@menoswaste1780]

What a beautiful home!!

[@genoemi]

Really enjoy this kind of video!

[@julesacree]

Aw im glad!

[@KerryWallerius]

So exciting to see the house come together! Could you drop the boba recipe, it had me drooling 🤩

[@julesacree]

We used this recipe but we didn’t make the brown sugar sauce. We wanted it less sweet (and some recipes call for food coloring - we didn’t do that) www.chinasichuanfood.com/how-to-make-boba-pearls-at-home/

[@mastandstars]

Wanna see a picture of the floor plan on the house. I got a lil lost on your tour. 🙈😎

[@carlotadasilva]

Hi Jules! first i just would like to say, i love your videos! They are my relax weekend treat! On video ideias i would like to sugest are tips and tricks or advice on building you own home! =D

[@carlotadasilva]

And also more business video and working vlogs!

[@julesacree]

Love! Will do a work day vlog soon

Can you link to your friends book I am Paleo pretty close to AIP as well. Thanks! Love your channel I just found it recently and we have so much in common thank you for making this Contant!

Formal dining room = LIBRARY/Plant space/Reading nook

[@julesacree]

Bookshelves, cute comfy chairs, and plants - i can get down with that!

[@heidiv5720]

@@julesacree it would be beautiful, cozy, and welcoming!

[@jeanaandrighetti5730]

Yes! This was my thought too!

[@sequoiaarmstrong575]

I love this idea! Maybe plants and books on the walls and comfy chairs

[@alexandramoody4697]

You could make it another sitting room/living room. When I was a kid my mom made our dining room into another living room because the other one was where my dad would watch the news after work and my four siblings and I would want to be playing nintendo 64 or watching movies together then. If you decide to grow your family, that extra space is soo valuable :)

[@julesacree]

Nintendo 64! Throwback!

[@Littleseoul9]

U are so quick in cooking

[@findingtrixie]

WHEN YOU SAID YOU LOVE MCR! Omg hiiiiii bc same.

[@julesacree]

HIIIII will always love them

[@helenedelay]

Love seeing the process of the house is so different in France, we don't use the same material. It's so interesting 🤩

[@julesacree]

So interesting! What are your houses made from?

[@helenedelay]

@@julesacree Exterior's wall are in "block" of concrete and for interior's wall is pieces of metal instead pieces of wood. I never thought speak about this in English 😂

A gameroom is a good option, especially if you may have kids in the future.

[@lynnthesim9342]

If you have any tips on keeping up with dog hair, I'd love to hear them. It's the bane of my existence. With 2 labs, I feel like I can never avoid having little piles of hair gather everywhere each day :(

[@lynnthesim9342]

Also, did you get the matching pants to that Oak + Fort ribbed sweater? If so, what size did you get, if I may ask? I'm short (5'1") so I'm trying to figure out if it makes any sense for me to get them lol

[@julesacree]

Honestly we struggle with it too. We just vacuum a lotttt and clean off surfaces every day but the hair is always here

[@julesacree]

And for the sweater and pants I got an XS - I’m 5’3 and it fits perfectly with my chunky sneakers

[@melissaabel9157]

i also hate reading the instructions when it comes to recipes 😂

[@julesacree]

This is why I rarely make recipes lolol

how do you afford all this omg
