WE MADE IT TO OUR NEW HOME! BARELY! TOUR!

[@MaryBethMartin-u2p]

Make both little rooms into one big pantry! Also put a door into the laundry area from the pantry ( pocket doors are a great option to cut down on noise, while still giving you easy access) you won't regret making that pantry as big as possible! Think down the road a few years with multiple children helping with food prep😊 best wishes!

[@karenmoctezuma2471]

Second this idea!

[@fawngeddes6066]

Agree, one larger pantry with walkway to laundry room. Lots of electrical so you can have lowers for storage and counters for appliance. Coffee station, baking station etc. upper or open shelving.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

So what’s going on? I can’t keep up… lol did they sell their house and move to Georgia? I guess for work or military? Thanks anyone who wants to fill me in.

[@foofookachoo1136]

@@cumberlandquiltchic1Yes! They moved to Georgia, and Brad had I listed again into the Navy. I think his time will be 4 or 5 yrs. (One of those numbers). And then he can retire and start receiving his pension, social se. or whatever it’s called when u retire from military.

[@OG_Bearcat]

********RACH!!! What if you put a door in the current laundry room to the new laundry room so you have easy access to the washer if it goes out of balance. I have to run upstairs quickly when it happens to me. You can put a counter with lower cupboards along the left wall and keep your existing microwave in there.

[@tracycook7355]

Love the idea of having all your kitchen paraphernalia in the big cupboard. I saw a great idea on another vlog. Mixer food processor toaster and the like were on a work top round the “pantry” under the counter were two deep drawers for saucepans and baking tins. Another two deep drawers had mixing bowls and attachments for machinery on the counter. Then above counter were to the ceiling cupboards. For cookery books,glasses , travel cups water bottles. Etc only you know what you. We’d to store in the cupboards. Also a vegetable basket on the counter or could actually be in a drawer With your food in the next door pantry that will leave your counters clear for minimal items and decor which you love doing decor. Just a thought. I love the house and think it will suit you so well.

[@susansullivan5203]

I know what you are going through. Ive moved long distsnce with 5 small children twice. My goal was always get the kitchen done first then bedrooms. After that it was four boxes a day, no more. It eventially all got done

[@itsbittersweetest]

Old laundry rm converted to butlers pantry. Open shelves cabinets below , using countertop for coffee bar and baking counter. Mount a shelf for microwave and toaster/oven on back wall . Keep right-hand side empty for trash, recycling and toddler / child standing stool for the younger girls. Bonus hooks for aprons, and measuring cups & spoons and other child friendly tools and stencil shapes so they all learn what goes where. I know it's a lot to make it your own home, so excited to watch this unfold. Laundry room hanging bar is priceless. Remember enjoy the process😊

[@audreyhindle9000]

Can you combine your two closets and make one large closet like a butlers closet. Move your washers and dryers to the storage area, it would solve your storage problem.

[@lindacushman6096]

Just an idea, that storage room is fairly roomy. I'd move the wall further into the storage room, deepening your pantry. Also if you do upper and lower cabinets, you can utilize the countertops for all your small appliances. You can never have enough storage space in a kitchen. ♥

[@london_liv5539]

Make a Butler’s pantry with an extra sink! Make it a big sink ❤ Ask your builder for shelves everywhere - you’ll easily fill them up as your family grows (by the day!)

[@rwilliamsmith1963]

Yep push the range back! But call the quartz people to cut it!!!! Just a suggestion from someone who knows 😢😢

[@sandiekirkland4501]

Agree that laundry room should be large pantry. Make sure you have plenty of outlets for appliances in there. Love the house. As an old grannie I am loving watching your adventures!

[@patseemore5019]

The Granny agrees with you, Sandie!

[@colleenwilkin5705]

Like the suggestion of making the pantry as big as possible but taking down the wall. Move the washer and dryers

[@janeschmidt9611]

I’m so glad that you did a tour! That house has some great possibilities and is a good size. I love the idea of a second pantry in the kitchen and I love that sideboard but I’m a fan of covered cabinets to keep items dust free. 🥰

[@foofookachoo1136]

Me too!! ANY of my dishes would have to be in a cabinet with doors.

[@denasmolins5938]

I would make that laundry room a butlers pantry to put small appliances like toaster, blender, air fryer, coffee maker on a counter. Put cabinets above and below for storage. My daughter has a pop up blender cabinet and stores all Pyrex, trays and coffee paraphernalia in cabinet above coffee maker. Great idea to move laundry and house is going to be wonderful.

[@nancypatterson374]

My thinking too. I saw someone else had that and thought it was a wonderful idea.

[@cindycreateforlife]

I completely agree with you on switching the location of the laundry to the storage ram and make a butlers pantry instead. You could keep your microwave and make it work in the new pantry! I think uppers and lowers actually works better than floor to ceiling shelves. The house is going to be so awesome, love the buffet too!💕🇨🇦

[@sandystoner3352]

If your microwave works great and already bothered with having it moved..you could just build an area for it in the other room that you are going to turn into a pantry. Love the house!

[@Lyndaragirl78]

I probably would sacrifice the drawer until things get arranged the way you want it. I do agree that the stove needs to be moved back but right now you guys have sooo much to do that I would just wait. I like your new home!! Can’t wait to see it decorated!!! Hopefully one set of parents will come over soon so you can actually get your new home organized!!! 💕💕

[@moorelcel]

Maybe consider a butler's pantry that opens to laundry room. So you can get there from the kitchen/ main living area? You have some great space to work with and it would add value to the house. Think resale.

[@cherylgrey2284]

Yes!! A door through the pantry to the laundry!! Perfect use for that storage space!! Love you guys and am excited to watch you settle in and make your new house a home!!

[@dawnronson8566]

I love the idea of relocating the washer and dryer. Why not move the microwave to the new area where the washer was, then you won't have to replace it. You could do cabinets in the bottom and then shelves, or cabinet with glass up above. I'd find what you have left of store, and then let that dictate what you do.

[@michelegalloway4298]

Rachel, You could put some cabinets above your new buffet instead of floating shelves. It will be less cluttered. And you will have alot more storage. Just a thought.

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

My friends made a room next to their kitchen which they call appliance room and storage it works really really well they even have a stove in their it’s awesome ... I think it would be really nice to have .. The laundry I agree being to loud especially you trying to catch up on laundry trying to hear the kids and if you move it to the storage room you want hear it nor see dirty laundry.. If it’s by kitchen is gonna interfere with doing your videos and make things limited.. I really think you would be way happier with laundry away from kitchen were you guys are at 90% of your time in kitchen living area .. just a thought ..Love your New Home thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗

[@allgood6884]

Looks great. I'd find a hutch top that compliments the bottom piece and wall mount it. If it had glass it would keep your dishes clean, open shelving is dusty. I love the dea of enlarging the pantry through the back storage room. You will still have enough room for your washer'dryers. What about recycling? That could go into the pantry. On wheels to get it to your garage easier. Pull out shelving in some of your pantry and don't forget you can hang some storage from the ceiling in there too.If you bake frequently I'd make room for huge flour and sugar storage containers. And keep things you use most where you can reach! The small area where the microwave is would make a great coffee/beverage center. Or a baking center where everything is at your fingertips.Have fun, can't wait to see what you do.

[@rwilliamsmith1963]

Can you put a door in the new pantry to the laundry room and have cabinets ( uppers and lowers) with countertops surrounding the door?

[@sherrieread313]

Make both of those closet/pantry areas one big butlers pantry with one entrance and move the laundry room into the back storage - you can design the butlers pantry to fit your needs including the microwave lol

[@Suz9006]

Yes,move the washer and dryer to that back storage room. Turn the washer room into pantry, lower cabinets with. pull out shelves, one tall pantry and uppers. Countertop great for bulky appliances, everything else gets tucked away

[@mirandabinmore3233]

Oh Rachel you are amazing. I hope Brad appreciates just what you are doing for him to be able to realise his wants. I wish you had been able to get to the house when it was more complete and ready to just unpack and live. Anyone with even just one child knows what a challenge all this is. I think you should make the two small rooms one big one pushing it right back into the behind storage so you don’t have to walk through the long wooden room to get to the utilities. a large open butlers would provide you more flexibility and your microwave can fit there with heaps of storage. Have uppers and lowers no doors even with big benches some walls just open shelving space. You could have a euro laundry with sliding doors to cover machines. It would be huge and amazing. Have another sink and prep area in there too. Maybe a second fridge. I feel for you so much what an incredibly overwhelming situation. Your resilience is incredible and if you did snap at Brad only once then you are even more of an incredible mama wife and CEO of a domestic house hold and RV manager. So sorry he gets his feelings hurt and thinks of divorce comments when you have done so much for him. How you are expected to live there with no laundry no working kitchen boxes everywhere and no help is just beyond me. Especially with sick babies and 3 others under 5 whilst Brad goes straight back to work! If he giggles or makes another negative comment my goodness. How about Rach I appreciate you thank you for being so understanding and amazing. You are such an wife and mum. Recognition

[@KatyWatson173]

A pantry with counter space for your microwave and other small appliances and a coffee bar. Then you could have lower and upper cabinets for storing what you want. 🙂💖🐈🐈‍⬛

[@dorisspecial3619]

Ok, you asked! Oh totally use the room with the utility sink as the laundry room. But enclose the other things in the room so you'll enjoy the room more! Take the wall between the 2 spaces down to combine into 1 pantry. You can get a shelf that accommodates the microwave!

[@laurieschapro6036]

Hi there ! I hope that the girls feel better very soon so they can play in the new home and have fun !!!! Having the children look for the labels is GENIUS so you can get them out of the way !!!! I love the ideas that you have about the house ! I think that you will be very happy in your new home really soon and I do hope that you can get your washer and dryer hooked up so you can use them . I'm sure that there are some people who can cut your counter down a little bit so that the range will fit in the right place in the kitchen . Don't forget about the APP called :"ANGI" that will help you find the proper person or people who will be able to fix the countertop . I think that you will be able to get it done very quickly .

[@janrteach]

My daughter has a washer and dryer in her bedroom closet, one in the basement, and one in a first-floor space. The one in the bedroom is used the most! So convenient.

[@elizabethbetsyschneider1647]

Chaos is so frustrating but…..the final outcome will be wonderful. 😊😊😊

[@FilletsReviewsANDTutorials]

I would put shelving in the utility room to store day to day tools, extra paint, etc. I would would put both washers and dryers in the storage room. You could always add a shelving unit/hutch/cabinets for any of your laundry needs. I would compine the lemon pantry with the laundry room in the kitchen. You can have one side as open shelves for food storage and the other side as lower cabinets and a counter top. Add outlets and you can plug in your microwave and other appliances. Maybe even a deep freezer. We buy everything in bulk so we need an extra deep freezer.

[@nancyalford8056]

Welcome home🤠❤️. So nice to have a room for school and toys!

[@andreahughes1]

I would take the room with the washer and dryer and make that a pantry. Get a really nice door with frosted glass and the word “pantry” written on it. I would make one pantry for appliances like the microwave and other appliances like your instant pot, air fryer, etc. The second pantry can be used for food only. Welcome home! We moved from CA to Alpharetta/Johns’s Creek a few years ago and really like it! Hope you will too!

[@OHSloopyIO]

1. Moving the W/D to that storage area is a great idea. Too noisy for right next to the kitchen. 2. On the countertop issue... I'm a retired remodeling PM in Ohio. The best solution is get used to that drawer not opening. Believe it or not, this happens more than designers like to admit. An extended style should have gone into that corner by that base cabinet to allow for the depth of the stove knob. They cannot take your countertop off to take offsite and cut. It's a huge liability. If they do, you will have to sign a waiver. If they cut inside they still cannot guarantee no damage will occur and you might still have to sign a waiver. Either of those options will more than likely cost upwards of 1K. They might suggest recutting the piece and that is even more expensive. If they do, make sure they get a slab from the same lot, consecutive slab numbers so it will match. Good luck!

[@BradandRach]

Spoiler alert: They came in, cut that area deeper to allow for the stove to slide back another inch or so, and it worked perfectly!! Phew!

[@OHSloopyIO]

@@BradandRach They cut it back on site? I'm happy for you all. Any company I've ever worked with up here wouldn't do that. SWEET!!!

[@OHSloopyIO]

@@BradandRach But thinking about it now. If the countertop peeps had the template and knew your appliance specs and it didn't fit cause it wasn't fabricated to proper dimensions in the first place...I'm glad they made it right for you!!

[@Youngone-mb1yc]

For the pantry. I like the idea of cupboards with some drawers a counter top for appliances with electrical outlets. Shelving on the top.

[@101handbags101]

Definitely move the laundry room, knock down the wall between the two small rooms and make one HUGE pantry! Have a professional designer come in and help you with the layout and I promise you, it will be worth every penny. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited for you guys!

[@loripretti843]

I think that's a great idea!!! Maybe if you put a counter with cabinets brlow and shelving above you could make room for your microwave on the counter!!! Or another shell for the microwave!!! Just an idea!!! Love the home!!! When it's done it's going to be great for all of you!!! Be patient!!! God Bless!!!

[@karengowdy8557]

Do you know that outdoor thing you guys have? That’s so cool that the babies left put that in the middle of wherever you’re working throw some snacks in there that they won’t choke on and their water things and they’ll probably be happy as a lark.

[@sherrysparks9460]

If you knock out the back wall of the current laundry room, it would open the area up into the storage area. You could have a huge area of cabinets, counter tops and shelves. Laundry behind that or in utility room.

[@miajoyce11]

Love your idea for changing the laundry and you will enjoy having the open shelves for dishes. I would do. Pantry shelves and drawers the use the mini pantry room for microwave and coffee/ tea bar.

[@robinwood7596]

I'd do a huge pantry! Make the 2 rooms one and u can do lower and uppers and shelves in there.

[@elizabethkoobs1060]

Wow! That buffet you bought is GORGEOUS! Maybe make the old laundry room into a butler's pantry? You could have shelving and keep all the small appliances in there. I LOVE the house! It looks like there's plenty of room for all of you. The changes you made by taking those walls down looks SO good. Take your time unpacking, there's no rush. The kids are more important. Hugs from Savannah, GA!💜🫂🏠 P.S. Welcome to Georgia!

[@debrabeaumont3330]

You have probably thought of this already, but I will suggest it anyway. Pick an area that can be gated off and remove the boxes and anything dangerous and put the kids and ample safe toys in there. Hopefully pick an area that is in the hub of where you are working, so you can talk to them, they😊 can see you and you them. You can even let one of the older ones out, one at a time to, "help" you if they would like. Probably w a timer, so all of them will know when their time is up and it is the next child's turn. Maybe to color or play w toys that can not be in the gated area. All my kids are grown now, but we moved a good 30 times w the 5, eventually 6 of them, so I am well aware of how difficult it can be. It feels overwheming right now, but you will be organized and settled before you know it. You already have a great start w the majority of the beds already set up. Best to all of you. Debbie

[@rachelanderson7930]

Any way you can bust out the wall so you can have easier access to your washer and dryer? It could be a butlers pantry plus a laundry room. Would search combo laundry room + butlers pantry. Maybe it’s a thing maybe not!! You are going to need the easier accessibility to your washer and dryer. Coming from a mom of 5.

[@mygriefjourney5494]

I would do floor to ceiling shelves in the new pantry space. Just do bigger shelves towards the bottom for small appliances. You could put your microwave in there as well and not have to replace the one you have. Beautiful house!

[@TexasbyStorm]

Lower cabinets for storage and countertop with outlets for small appliance usage. If you can add a sink even better. You can run your blender and clean it up all in your "appliance shed" Uppers for more storage. This keeps all those things, like instant pot, air fryer, blender....off the main kitchen counters and allows it to look much less cluttered. I wouldn't want a door from the pantry/storage into the laundry. To me that would be a waste of precious wall space for more storage, plus with two washers and dryers to hook up, the other storage room would seem too cluttered with multiple doors into it.

That is exactly what I would do. I would make or go back and get a smaller cabinet and make a coffee/microwave station and then add shelves for all your bigger appliances, pots, etc. since there is already a water line running into that room you could put a small sink for your coffee… etc. you have such a good eye for design!

[@patwoessner198]

In pantry put lower cabinets(can lock away anything not for littles) upper shelves to easily see what you have/find what you want.

[@madisonc2410]

I saw a door in the storage room…is that a door y’all will be using to come in and out of the house…like from the garage or driveway? I was thinking a mudroom with cubbies to hang coats, store shoes etc then continue straight into the little room with the microwave for a straight entrance into your living area. You could close off door entrance from home school/play room into storage room for more wall space in storage area. Agree put the washers and dryers in the room beside storage area and pantry in the room where the washer and dryer is now. Love the house!

[@maryjobartell1540]

[@cherylthomas7421]

I'm the one that seen your mom at Walmart. I don't know if she told you or not. We had a good conversation. She is beautiful too. Anyway if I were you I would do floor to ceiling I think it would look great. Love you guys❤️

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

First the house is gorgeous and I can already tell it's going to be amazing once you get settled and ready turn it into your home. It would have been awesome if Carrie had been able to be at the house for the first few days or week to help with the kids so that you could focus on unpacking and figuring things out. I like that you have an actual dining room which can be used multiple ways for family dinners or for entertaining and holiday celebrations. I would do the laundry room in the storage room so that the noise of them running doesn't transfer into the girls room. You can add a folding area and/or a place to iron clothes along with locking cabinets to store laundry and cleaning products and other things you don't want the kids getting into. Keep the microwave and install it in the new pantry. I would put lower cabinets on the bottom which would give a bit more storage space and allow you to install the microwave properly. You can store any appliances like crockpot, airfryer, in them along with things you may not want the kids getting into. The magnetic baby locks are amazing and you can turn it off by flipping a switch as kids get older. Just don't let them know where you keep the special magnet opener. Depending on how much space is actually in the bigger pantry you can have a section with the cabinets and countertop and then have open shelves in the rest or a combination of open and closed. The smaller more shallow pantry could be used for your baking supplies and have the stand mixer, toaster, coffee and tea station. Though you might have another area where you can have the coffee station station. Especially since you have a wet bar. You can even add a wine cooler in the wet bar or in the big pantry. Get one of those white doors with a frosted glass panel in the top that has the word pantry etched or painted on the glass. I can't wait to see how you transform the kids playroom/school room. The built-in shelves will be awesome for storing and organizing your teaching materials and supplies. Bins that you can label are a must have. Some with lids will help to keep items that need to stay together. You can add doors on some or add a storage unit that locks to keep items that you don't want the kids to get into without supervision. Sometimes you might need separate work stations for the children as they work to reduce distractions. They will definitely need to help keep the area picked up and organized instead of pulling out bins and toys and dumping them on the floor and leaving it there for you to pick up. You will need to create a schedule for how you want the school day to go along the daily routines, rules for school time and playtime . Teach them a cleanup song to get them to help clean and put toys and other things away and give them different jobs and responsibilities appropriate for their age and abilities. The use of color and engaging items on the walls are just as important as the materials used for teaching and learning, but there needs to be a balance so that they don't become a distraction. You will need to take in account the different learning styles for each child because some need more quiet and space than others especially when doing independent work or anything that they need to focus on. Just so you know some kids thrive in homeschooling and being taught by a parent and others don't. Many parents discovered this the hard way during lockdown and distant learning days before they could go back full-time. Look for other homeschooling groups in your area because they can be a great resource for navigating your way for the first time. Plus playdates and field trips as a group can sometimes be cheaper than going with just your children. A great way to meet new friends for you and your children. I saw on Instagram that you were putting the kids clothes in bins in the cabinets in the family room instead of in their bedroom and I was a bit confused especially since they have good sized closets and room for a dresser in each room? Have you considered putting an opening from the living room where the front door is into the family room and kitchen area? It just seems like it's a bit awkward layout. Guess we'll see how it works as you get more settled. I already love the house and the changes made so far. The buffet is gorgeous.
