Home Tour – April 2013 {Video}

April 10, 2013 By Jackie

Many of you have asked for a home tour, and I aim to please.  I shot this video on Monday, which is the day of the week when our house is pretty much at it’s cleanest.  Note: I said cleanest, not clean.  I am not sure with two little boys that our house is ever clean.  This Monday it was vacuumed and dusted, which is better than most weeks :)

Throughout the video you will see our floor plan to stay oriented.  You might notice there are a few rooms that didn’t make it into the video.  It was laundry day…so I skipped showing you my piles of laundry.  My husband’s office currently has no furniture in it…definitely a work in progress.  And, I inadvertently neglected to film our master bathroom.  We’ll get that next time.

I am pretty horrible at walking and talking, so I took the video and then voiced over it.  The tour includes the main and second floor of our home.  At the end I threw in my basement studio.  I plan to wait on the rest of the basement tour (lots off secret projects in the works).

So, tell me, is it different in video?  Is it what you expected?  I always try my best to capture my home realistically in pictures, but somehow video always comes out more real.

P.S. I am digging a few updates I made to freshen up the blog.  A fresh header, my new picture (there’s another new one on my about page), and some pretty new social media icons.  I hope you like the new look!

    Thanks for the video. It was really great to see your home with this tour. I see why you picked this floor plan; I totally would have too! Oops, my eighties showed; sorry.

    It was so nice to see your big boys room! And the video helped me to find my bearings in your home, although I got a little lost on the top floor, so I just paused on the floor plan to figure it out :)

    That was so fun! I actually got a better idea of what your new reading chair looks like in your great room. I couldn’t tell from the still pics. I like your new header and pics too. You’ve been such an inspiration to me on my own journey to one day have my own home business.

    Great video! Your home is gorgeous and the colors are amazing. Every room suits the other and there is not one thing that jumps right out at you! Very soothing & calm & homey. Comfortable too. I recently started following you and am so impressed by you. Congrats again [I commented on FB about this…!] on the magazine/newspaper articles…very impressed! Thank you for all your inspiration on painting furniture. I bought a $10 coffee table and have it apart painting it!! Thank you again for everything!!!
