- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Welcome to our LIVING channel. We've Valentina and Jack and we've been married for 25 years. After a few years being married we decided to embark on an adventure that took us to live in Spain, Morocco, and Denmark.
Now, let's fast forward seven years, and we found ourselves back in our hometown of Atlanta. Our hearts led us to a charming 1993 house that was in dire need of a transformation. In this vlog, we invite you to join us on a tour of our modern cottage and the updates that we've made over the last seven years.
We're sharing the process of renovating and updating this beautiful modern cottage. We're so grateful to be able to update and care for this home and thankful to be able to share this story with all of you as well.

Your home is stunning!! Would love to see a garden tour and a tour of the upstairs also.
Thank you!
Please show us upstairs! I am so excited to see what you do in the basement! Your home tells a beautiful story.
Thank you so much!
I love that you admit it has taken 7 years to get to this point. As a "hobby" decorator, I remind myself daily to take my time and not make mistakes by thinking I must finish a room in one week. Thanks for your channel.
Absolutely agree. All those tv shows constantly pushing to finish any types of renovations in a crazy short time frame. I remember in one show they were running out of time to put curtains so they used stapler! How silly is that: curtains are staplered to the wall itself! In reality good things take time and I also like that this fact wasn't just edited out from the video. Almost nobody never say how long it actually take to finish the project, they even say to bake cookies in the oven for 15 minutes while in reality not a single time in my life I had cookies done that fast.
Valentina ...I genuinely wanna Thank you for reminding us women ( wives, Moms etc.) that it's ok to want the very best for ourselves in every way in our lives. That it's ok to want luxury and spoil ourselves. That we are deserving and that it is possible even if you aren't wealthy...it is still possible. 🙏 Love your channels ...you're so inspiring.
100% agree with you!!! Love Valentina for this!!
Yes, would love to see more of your home and your projects! You have amazing taste, Valentina, love what you have done with the garden as well. Can't wait for you to share your plans for the home. This is gonna be a great channel to follow, along with House of Valentina. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful I been following since the lockdown and follow your design sense throughout my home
Simply elegant ….thanks for continuing to but fun in design You two are priceless ❤🥂
I love that y'all were able to reflect where you've lived in the current home. We're doing the same thing, but with nods to New Orleans, Cleveland Wharehouse District, North Carolina and Florida. It's basically tropical/southern/rustic industrial and we're finally loving our space now that we've figured it out!
Have been following you for years and this was definitely one of my favorite videos! Interested in your landscaping and basement projects for sure!!
I love being able to see how everything started and where you have taken it to reflect how you have evolved as a family. I do wonder, I hope Jack has more than a coat closet for his clothes to get ready downstairs!
The biggest advantage of the carpet would be sound absorption, so you wouldn't have that echo.
Beautiful renovations and everything looks so good!
To be honest with you the “before” footage is what is a lot of houses for sale still look like around me, if not more outdated. Built around the same time too, I’m in suburban St. Louis. I got a lot of inspiration from your videos as we made renovations to our own home (also built in the 90s and not kept up with as far as style) ❤
What a gorgeous transformation!!! 😱👏😍 Would love to see what you've done with your upstairs floor too! ☺💕
Yahh, you guys did it right. The combo of 1993 and updates is done charmingly.
Love your black & white color style! Gorgeous home, tks for sharing.
i like that you kept the interior doors but changed out the hardware!
Thank you for this video, and for sharing a bit of your life. This house shows your soul, guys. Beautiful. It not only looks like a different house, it IS a completely different house… everytime you show a “before” picture I cringe 😅 And, yes, having separate closets also saved my marriage 😂
Thank you for such a wonderful video today. What an editing job that was I’m sure, going from all the “before & afters”, that to me was great because I could start to see how exactly you transformed your home, what vision you had and what a marvelous job you did! You’re a great team.
Hi again, this was a really nice video. I enjoyed all of the stories on how you two have built this house together --and what a beautiful home you have created. I can see not only the love, but the creative process taking hold along with the funds when available. I believe you said it has been 18 years or something like that...very nice...totally enjoyed it -- nice blog
I also love the unique stained glass window in your bathroom!
As a home maker I love to see videos like this that makes me feel connected, inspired and be reminded to "slow" down in renovations to be able to save more rather than make mistakes.Your home is so lovely!!! And yes I love to see the upstairs, garden and garage.
Wow, amazing transformation!!! Love every inch of your renovation! So inspiring!!!
I have been around since the paper birds over the fireplace. Excited to watch this video. Loving this old never seen before footage. Blessings to the Fussell family!❤
Wow, that's so cool! You've been around for a long time!
Amen! Sweet family
The doors are everything
Absolutely loved the tour. You guys are so fun!!! Please share the garden area project too!
Another wonderful video Valentina and Jack! Great job on your beautiful house!
Yes, please! I am redoing our landscape and would love to see what you do!
Thank you for showing a normal house becoming a stunning home.
I hope I can do the same to mine without having to move
❤️ gives me hope
I love the pictures - easy way to bring back amazing memories to our home and the feelings of life happiness
what a beautiful home. The decorating and redesign is gorgeous. great taste, great job.
Love all your decor. Love all the black makes the rooms pop and looks so very rich..
Thank you for sharing.
Stay safe
I thought a change.... At first i said I'm not going to watch, I love your channel as is and now your are going to make a change. I watched the new format, so
glad i did, I LOVE IT! I think it's more personable. I thought it was a little odd that you said that you didn't have family pictures displayed in your home.
But now you do! Love it!
I'm now subscribed to HOUSE OF VALENTINA LIVING!
BRAVO VALENTINA!
Love the new direction of your channel. Can't wait for the next video
You guys did a great job. Congratulations and enjoy your home
Love that you’re sharing your life like this. The cutest pics❤
So beautiful! And a garden too would be great!
Loved this video!!! It was so fun. Your home is beautiful!!!!!
Looking forward to an upstairs video too!
Love seeing the process and hearing more of your full story, just beautiful! :)
Amazing. Absolutely AMAZING.
Gorgeous home! You did an amazing job!
You have a very warm beautiful and inviting home thank you Valentina
Valentina, how lovely you are to share your home with us. Yes, please tour your children's rooms. Also, could you please include the links to your kitchen ceiling lamp? You didn't list your kitchen. And, where is the beautiful bar cart that you bought a while back? I didn't spot it. I really liked it when you had it next to your chimney. Thanks again! - Romy
Your house is amazing, Valentina! I am following you in the other channel.
this is one of my favorite videos so far💗
I love your sophisticated decorating style. Im moving into a new purchase- a glorious 1990s home. We plan to start renovations little by little and want to add so much charm and sophistication. Any general recommendations?
Im surprised youve never painted your interior doors black. We did just our doors... left the trim white and its gorgeous!!! Love your home! Be well ❤
Love it So classy and yet comfortable. I also love watching your videos to hear your laugh. It's so infectious. I also love the relationship you & your hubby have. It's similar to me & mine and it just makes me smile. Thanks for bringing us into your beautiful home :)
I loved how you were both in sync on this beautiful renovation
Omg your house is gorgeous!! Added to my Pinterest board! It’s beautiful
You did a beautiful job. It’s a little dark for me but that’s just my taste. It’s well done and it is beautiful.
It’s amazing I fall in love with your house .
Amazing transformation Valentina you have spectacular taste
Fantastic video. Awesome reno. Looking forward to more.
Love your home…phenomenal job with the renovations and decorations. Love the front door! Gave me ideas if changing mine…what door/company is that?
It’s beautiful, I couldn’t own that much stuff it gives me anxiety 😅 but looks cosy.
Love, love, love all your art work. Can you share where it all came from? Thanks.
The bathroom is my favorite room❤
Love your home and all your decor! You did an amazing job.❤ What color paint is the bedroom and dining room?
Thanks for sharing...love love it!!! Could you share where you purchased your dining chair from?
@valentina I always find so much joy from your videos...everything is beautiful. I am trying to find a bed similar to the one in the master, mind sharing the deets?? 😊
Your home is stunning! What paint color did you use by your fireplace.
i LOVE your channel. thank you for sharing with us. are you concerned that your clothing/ leathers will be damaged by humidity/ moisture being so close to the bathroom? If not, which steps did you take?
Looks lit a black and white movie
Loved the video. Also, I see your rhinestone and diamond powder room and raise you a puffer paint squares on top of sponge paint powder room. 😂
home is so beautiful. Did you paint your base board and doors the same color as the walls
I've looked everywhere for your squared-off oval metal mirrors in master bath. Recall the brand?
I painted my banister black also & it always scratches & the wood shows through. Did you put some kind of top coat to prevent this?
Your home is beautiful.
Beautiful Valentina 👏👏👏
Where did you get your bathroom art 😊
What’s your secret to such neatly aligned groupings of pictures on the walls? 😊
I don't like the sputnik chandeliers, even though I saw them all over the place in the 1950s and 60s. It does change the flavor of the dining room from traditional to MCM, though.
Gorgeous. I noticed you have a ton of greenery in your home. Are they all faux?
We’ve been married 21 yrs and this is the first time we’re sharing a closet. We’ll see how it works out😂😂
Doesn't seem like a "cottage" to me, modern or otherwise. Nice house though.
Same! The art doesn't speak cottage at all.... I'm confused by the title haha
@@gemmapetersen4027 Me, too. At first I thought OH they must have moved or bought another place. lol A lovely suburban house with modern decor would be an apt description. Not sure what exactly is cottage about it.
I LOVE YOU TWO SO MUCH - but have a teensy suggestion.... I think - as much as I love your current bedroom - there may be a bit too much happening on the " bed wall""( ie table lamps, picture lamps, mirrors AND artwork.). The eye has alot to absorb. Just wondering if you removed the 2 black and white large prints above the bed it would read as less busy and therefore more elegant. Just a thought - I'm no expert and I love most everything you do. ❤ Xoxo from Canada.
My thoughts exactly!
Your kitchen has always inspired me to make mine look less “kitchen” and more an extension of the rest of our home. I would say out of all of the UA-cam channels I watch, your style is the one that resonates the most with me. You have a gift and I appreciate you sharing it with us.
I enjoyed the calm, peaceful tour of your home today.
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate these kind words, this means a lot!
I totally agree!
I too enjoyed the calm of this tour.
Oh whoa thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I love what you guys have done. 😊 yes a tour of the garden will be great to see. Sending ❤from Rosie O from a frosty Devon,England 🏴 x
The house is lovely. You have done an amazing transformation. Great video.
I enjoyed hearing your thought process; your reflections on past decisions and how you feel about things now. Thank you for sharing this openly. The casual tour was very nice!
You really should check the definition of cottage because this isn't one.
Google modern cottage and almost every exterior image looks like Valentina’s. I’m also sure the listing said it’s a cottage. One of the things a cottage has is thatched roofs.
I think it is starting to look too busy … to much stuff inside … but looks good
This is NOT a cottage. A cottage is a simple small frame house.
Dog så hyggeligt...og der er😊altid kaffe på kanden🎉
Wow, it's like seeing the house for the first time and I've been following for years! I recall some of the updates over the years. The rooms look so much bigger and more welcoming with your renovations and updates. Absolutely beautiful!
You guys have done a fabulous job on the renovations of your home! Love it!!
I simply adore your house and all of the finishing touches! It is elegant, cozy, and timeless
I also love that it’s taken you 7 years to reach this point in your own home style. We are approaching our 5 year mark in our home. Through you and Jean Stoffer, I have finally honed in our color palette and style. I’m loving making this home ours. Thank you so much. And yes, I’d love to see the upstairs of your home.
I like your “waiting until the right piece before buying” way better to take your time. It’s watching these home makeovers that get it all done in a certain deadline that makes me rush for no reason lol
I actually LIKE much of the modern Black & White Art in your home (tho not always a fan of it's endless repetition)...however I STILL maintain that the art over the bed is Jarring (as in a Hangman's gallows)
...and LESS than LUXE.
Wonder if it will eventually go the way of the once-loved Black/White/ Stripe bedroom rug???
PS. Will you STILL want Black Velvet curtains in SUMMER???
PPS. Appreciate the calmer more matter-of-fact TONE

Excitement over THE BIG HAULS!!!
Love your channel! I would keep the spray painted black ceiling fan. It looks great!
Everything is just so beautiful!! Great renovation! I love the ceiling in the powder room as well !
Valentina it is so fascinating to see areas of your home we haven't seen before. Love all the modern details. Amazing job! You must be so proud! I love to see people who take pride in their home.
It’s good to know that it took you 7 years to make the changes. And save up for those changes. A good lesson in have a big picture plan and do it in small manageable stages.
Oh my goodness…This was so much fun to see the before and after pictures! Loved it!! Can’t wait to see the sequels!
Thank you for the tour of your downstairs. I so enjoy watching your videos and the interaction you have with Jack. It is evident that you have put your heart and soul into your home ♥️
Although we've been on this renovation journey with you it's great to look back and see how far you've progressed - beautiful as well as functional.There was just a moment in the walk-in wardrobe, when you were going through the photos, that the emotional connection came through. Well done both of you on creating an amazing home and life for your family.
Thank you so much!
What a transformation! I love your story. Thank you for opening up your beautiful space for us 💕
I absolutely love the layout of your home, it’s beautiful, yet you can feel that it’s lived in, not like some homes you see on here, everything flows into the next room beautifully, well done guys, I’m here to see what you have planned for the outside of your home, I love anything to do with gardens and would have so much fun playing around in your garden, I miss our home on acreage where we had huge gardens but as we’ve gotten older, it all came a little too much for us to upkeep but I still love to potter in the garden I’ve made since we moved. Thank you for sharing your story and home with us, I’ve loved your style from the beginning of finding your channel and you’ve helped me to transition my own home to the way I love it now. 🖤🖤🤍🤍🤎🤎🇦🇺
I remember when you got the front door. It's beautiful. I love you eye for design.
Loved seeing / hearing about your Atlanta home renovations!! You've done so much to make it "V & Jack's home" (great to see before / after photos). I believe this house will be great for the two of you as you become empty nesters. Looking forward to seeing what you do to the basement, your kiddos' rooms and the garden/patio area. Thank you for always sharing your ideas and inspiring your watchers/listeners. You definitely keep me thinking! (Kim Littlejohn in Dallas/Ft. Worth)
The improvements you have made to this house are out of this world! I just love your taste. Keep enjoying your home with your family!❤
You have a closet that size and no place for hubby’s clothes??? Really? Purge, girl!
Just love that you’ve brought your travels into your lovely home. It’s beautiful❤
Loved this video! Sooo inspiring. Would love to see an in depth video of your closet redesign.
