Okay, so I'm confused. I'm just watching this video in August 2021. How did they go from building this massive dream home to buying a tiny home in Hawaii? Is there a video that explains this?
Bri is so sweet. So please no one take this as hate. ♥️ I watched her throughout my first pregnancy when she was a working mom and balancing motherhood with a full-time job. (Yes I realize she still works). I’m talking specifically about a 9-5. I started phasing out from watching this channel but have remained subscribed. When these UA-camrs start getting big houses I just start losing interest. It seems to be a trend among mommy vlogging channels more babies and big houses. The relatability factor that people desire when watching diminishes. Don’t get me wrong she deserves all the success she has and works hard for it, it’s just not the type of content I’m into.
Becky Petrucelli see this is where you start crossing a line that shouldn’t be crossed. She has nothing to do with all the people struggling right now. Do you expect her not to have her dream home because there are people struggling. There will ALWAYS be people struggling due to COVID or not
They all start acting the same! The same thing. I use to like them because they were different but who can relate to them now? I have to work and take of my kids and I cant afford all the the thing they have. I've lost interest too. They all start humble and then... we all know what happens.
Beautiful home! You might want to rethink the bathroom opening up right next to the kitchen. In our first home we had that, and had guests or family use it, and not to be real specific, but it definitely overrode the delicious smell of dinner. When we built our second home we had the half bath placed right by the mud room. The kids would come in from school and use it right away. Also if they were playing outside they wouldn’t have to go through other rooms with their dirty shoes. Congratulations again!
This is definitely a beautiful home.. and if you work hard and can afford it then why not, however I always wonder with a lot of UA-cam big accounts... why always move to something sooo big?? How is this what they all want bigger and bigger homes. I feel like I start watching UA-cam channels because they are relatable but then they become rich and it’s suddenly not relatable anymore...
Hi ,are you in the UK?.I`m always jealous of how much space even the average home has in the States and Canada.What i wouldn`t give for the storage and a basement for when your kids are older!!:).Hope you`re keeping safe and well.Love from England.Xx (I`m still proud to be British ,and wouldn`t swap countries..People come here just for our wonderful NHS...Guess it`s swings and roundabouts ,as i`d never afford my prescriptions over there..:)xx
Amazing home! I would personally want the master bedroom upstairs near the kids rooms since they’re so young. And room for the washer and dryer on the second floor so you don’t have to carry all your laundry up and down the steps. Congratulations on your beautiful new home!
I'm watching this in awe! What an absolutely gorgeous home! I love that you're making adjustments to fit your family and your wants! Congratulations on the home of your dreams!
Join the club. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 However I enjoy watching theses videos. My favourite is a fella called Chance he showcases Mobile homes. They are simply stunning. Kind regards Kate. 👱♀️💕💕
Love the layout but I would not want my babies upstairs and I’m downstairs! That was one reason why I passed in a certain home. My anxiety would not be good if the babies are on a different floor than me especially upstairs. Yikes😳
We were viewing houses last week and this was one of the reasons we passed on certain houses. I need all children's bedrooms on the same floor as ours.
Who else loves this walkthrough house tour style? I love it so much more than a house tour where you don’t know where each room actually is because of the cuts.
I would definitely keep the master bedroom upstairs so you’re near the children during the night. In the UK we’re not into having ground floor bedrooms
Lisa Hayward I wouldn’t even make that room a bedroom especially as they intend to have a guest bedroom in the basement. Personally I don’t like ground floor bedrooms mixed in with living space
@@susanholding158 Having a ground floor bedroom option is good for privacy away from kids. It is really important if you plan to grow old in a home. You may not always be able to get up the stairs! It's also good to have if your parents ever need to move in or just for resell in general. I can see wanting to be upstairs while the children are young though!
Hi Brianna. I have followed you for the past year and I can truly say god sent me to this channel when I needed it. You are truly such an inspiration and you have made me a better mother and wife. Please keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for everything. Ger
What a stunning home! I can’t wait to see how all of your plans come to fruition! I know it will be beautiful and so functional for your growing and beautiful family. I definitely think the basement bedroom with added windows near the existing bathroom is a great idea for guests to have their own space! Love you guys!
Pam Beck I know but she already talked about turning the loft into a bedroom, and maybe the guest room in the basement. The whole master bedroom/closet/bathroom is a lot of square footage for just one more bedroom.
Not for me. All I can think about is the cleaning of such a huge house! As a European this is so American. For me over the top. But, everyone has their own taste and dreams so I am happy for you
Usually people with houses this big don't clean them! I cleaned houses like this for a living and it always amazed me that some people had a house so big they couldn't clean it themselves. There would be multiple rooms I would only clean a few times a year because they were hardly ever used, sometimes never, maybe once at Christmas. Houses like this never feel like home to me.
How exciting!! 😍 I love how the office is basically on it's own level, such a cool touch! And all of your customizations sound perfect for your family! 🏠
It is such a beautiful home! But I would have constant anxiety about cleaning and maintaining such a large home. I prefer my 1600 sq ft home, but that's just my thoughts! 😁
Same. My home is 1800 square feet and this is plenty to clean. We are a family of four and it is perfect. I just cannot imagine building such a large home.
I see your point but for example, we needed a little more space than that. Right now we have 1980sf but will be buying a home with 2400sf. I have seen them at 3000 and even 4500+sf [now that's super ridiculous]. UNLESS, you are living like Home Alone and have like your entire family including some cousins living with you.
Beautiful! I had my dream home built several years ago and it was a wonderful experience. Some recommendations I would make is to get an independent inspector to do an inspection before you sign off with the builder. Have outlets put into you closets. Ask about a chandelier lift, it is a button you punch that lowers the chandelier for cleaning and changing light bulbs. Game changer! Also ask about the Christmas light package. This gives you outlets in ares where you would plug in lights.I think the outlets and lighting placement are the area where I have regrets or need to upgrade. Best of luck looking forward to seeing how you decorate and organize the new space. Kim
I am so happy for you and your family! I love how you thank all your subscribers and are so humble about the new house! You are so kind! The house is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see how you decorate!! I get all my ideas from you! Thank you for all you do!
I thought you were not keen on building and moving and this was Adams dream and you came round to the idea. Your current home is so relatable. The size and how you can decorate it and clean gives me ideas for my home.I really enjoyed you renovating the kitchen. It is the perfect sized house for your family and a new one on the way. You have so many memories there and I have really enjoyed watching you as the ideas you share are achievable for me as a stay at home Mum in the home you are in.
It’s beautiful bri! I like the idea of moving out that wall and making it one big mud room/laundry space and moving the pantry closer to the kitchen. Excited to see all of the home decor! Especially for Christmas 💗
This model home is incredible! We made the dumb decision to remodel while living here, it’s now going on 19 months and it’s still going on....Never ever again! Congrats soon to be family of 5 ❤️ absolutely gorgeous and well deserved❣️
I would recommend getting hardwood throughout the house. Of course it’s your decision and you do have young kids, but carpets don’t look or last as nice as wood.
We just moved from a house that had the master upstairs and my three children on the main floor. I really missed being close to the children after we lived there for 7 years. My third child was a newborn and it did make it a lot harder as she was my most difficult sleeper to go downstairs sometimes 3-4 times in one night until she was 2 years old. Can't wait to see you flourish in the new house. Xx
Your house is going to be gorgeous! I love all of your plans for the build. I'm so excited to see how you decorate your custom house for the holidays! I'm getting a house in the next year or two and my main necessity is a staircase with a railing so I can decorate it for Christmas.
Beautiful home! I love how open it is and can’t wait to see the final result! One thing I will mention in case you haven’t already thought about it, is make sure the closet doors open outward. I noticed that at least two closets had the doors open inward. That will make you lose closet space. And we know how important closet space is 😉.
Hi there from New Zealand. Brianna, see if you can go and look at a kitchen with drawers under the kitchen benches instead of cupboards. They hold a lot of contents and it saves a lot of bending. Love your channel, you are a must watch for me every week! x
I agree. Are you really going to want to be on a different level than the kids? The other thing I thought of, just because when we look at houses this comes up, do you really want a fireplace in the great room? It significantly limits the size of the TV and are you OK with looking UP to watch TV? I know you'll have a movie room but the great room is where you'll "live" most of the time and it's nice to cook and watch TV with everyone. That's just us. The houses we looked at all have beautiful great rooms but no real wall for a TV or decor. In any case, the house is beautiful!!
I am paranoid about burglars and fires, or worry about a kid falling down the stairs in the middle of the night to come to my room so I would without a doubt have to be upstairs closer to the kids. Also, the downstairs where the master is going to be, I would make that a guest room. I have a designated room that is on the first floor (easier on older people, no stairs up or down) that has a bathroom close and is closer to the kitchen without being right there by the rest of the household, so the first floor room makes more sense to me as a guestroom. That's just me, of course everyone is different! Very pretty
Love the new house and your changes! Just think that the pantry should stay in the same spot and add the powder room on the mudd room side, that way it’ll all be cohesive.
Congratulation Bri... I have always enjoyed watching your channel & thank you for sharing your story with us. You seem so kind & gentle spirited as well as a great wife & mother. Your a nice example to young mothers today. I love the idea of the opened up area of the mud room. I agree it seems a bit closed off right now & opening it up would def make it more functional. You'all need that with baby #3 and being on the go. Don't pay attention to the negativity from others., You do you... Enjoy your journey. We all have different places in life & different lifestyles. I think it will be a beautiful home for a beautiful family.
So since you are moving the master down stairs what are you going to do with the master upstairs? You didn't say....or I missed it💙 thanks Bri Your home is going to be beautiful!!💙
I love those windows where you spoke of putting a second fireplace (too close to the other one) so I would leave as is but I’d make that bench seating with a built in table for the kids to do homework, work on projects, etc. It would be awesome to have a place like that with all the natural light. I loved the master suite upstairs and it seems like a great deal of extra expense to move it, but hey, it’s your home and I’m sure you have planned accordingly.
I love your channel, but just curious how people can afford these huge houses? My husband lost his job with the economy/pandemic! He is now working out of state so we don't lose our house!
Houses are so much cheaper in the midwest, so that's part of it. Also, she has a thriving business, and her husband works also, so I'm guessing their income is pretty high. :)
Also, considering the elevation of your lot if there’s a slope..you could save a TON money if you are able to utilize half of your basement as your garage. We did that too! Another thing that was important to us was the garden hose hook ups on the front/back and side of the house. If you end up building a garage or having it underneath the house be sure to add a mud room sink in it too bc there’s nothing worse than greasy hands making their way through the house to be washed in the bathroom 😹
Wow Briana! I remember finding your channel when I was pregnant with my second around the same time you were with Presley to see your growth with you channel and now building your dream home in such a short span of time is truly inspiring. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy & safe delivery. Can’t wait to see how you decorate your new home, please take us along the journey of the building stages :)
I love the floor plan exactly like it is. We had our kids upstairs and us downstairs and I hated it. Now all bedrooms are upstairs and I love it. Especially if there were an emergency. We can get to the kids quick and get out. Beautiful home.
Incredible!! What an exciting year for your family!! And if you're wanting opinions, I would definitely have them put the windows down in the basement for a potential future bedroom (it would give you more options for the future). You wouldn't have to finish it out as a bedroom yet, but it's way easier to install them during building as opposed to later down the road.
Why is the theme in so many videos purging and minimizing and how good it feels to get rid of so much stuff but everyone keeps buying bigger homes to fill up with stuff... seems so inconsistant ? Truly curious.
I think it’s smart to get more space right now, even if you don’t have a lot of things. With social distancing people are spending more time at home and that’s much easier with more space
Beautiful home!! My family is currently building a home in Temple Texas!! I watched this to get ideas and the floor plan is so similiar. I am however having anxiety about our bedroom being downstairs while my 3 and 4 year old are upstairs!!! I didnt think much about it at first but the closer it gets I do. Did you have that problem? I'm trying to get past it and enjoy the process and blessing for my family. Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful home! make sure they put a Christmas light switch in so you can put candles in your front windows and just flip them all on with one switch. Also when the time comes make sure you have electric outlets in all the places you want them like a Tv in the bathroom or more than one socket in the foyer. Make sure every closet has a light and definitely put the laundry room upstairs. A fireplace in the master would be so fun too. The hearth room is a fantastic idea!! Its a huge home....but if its your dream I am so happy for you!
I definitely agree with some of the other comments. I think glass French doors would be stunning. And maybe a fire place upstairs or in the basement? Or perhaps using a wall for a two way fireplace? Orrrr make the Fireplace mantle even bigger so you can decorate around the TV or raise the TV up higher and face it down with some brackets so that way you can also decorate the fireplace and have a TV above it. Just thoughts! congratulation!
Life kept us from having our dream home and now we are to old. I am so thrilled for you and your family that you are able to realize your dream(s) and baby congratulations!! May God continue HIs many blessings on you and your family.
Anyone else think her current house is good enough? No, just me? 😂Your new house is beautiful though Bri! But I think your current home IS a forever home, imo. Can you imagine that huge house after the kids leave? ♥
This house is seriously my dream home, it’s modern but has a vintage vibe to it I love it!!! Everything about this home is perfect! I’m sure with your changes it’ll be just as beautiful for your family! Congrats! So many blessing coming your way and I’m glad I’m apart of it !
The house is absolutely gorgeous and I know it’s truly a dream come true for you! I honestly cannot wait to follow along with the building process. So exciting 💕
@maria Gonzalez // some people are just chronically jealous. like how can you not like Brianna K? she’s such a positive influence for women on UA-cam! i’m 19 & i’m not even a mom yet but she motivates me to clean, eat healthy & stay optimistic.
Wow, what a truly amazing dream home. Y'all are very blessed. Congratulations on your new home and your new family member that will be blessing your family all the more.
It’s a beautiful home! I think for myself personally I would change the island or maybe the layout of the kitchen. I personally am not a huge fan of the island that is in the model home, but that’s just me I love everything else.
Hmm, I agree with this too. I think the island would be more useful being square or rectangular. I know the shape is mimicking the counter on the right side but it's odd and no value added to the island. Then again, it's hard to make that call from Chesterland where I'm not actually walking through the house and getting a good feel for size and shape of the room! LOL!
Omg I didn’t think anybody would feel the same about the island! Yeah I think rectangular would be best, I’ve never seen an island like that before. And yes, very sharp corners!
I love the model as is. I would be so scared to change anything. I even like how the mud room is separated from the laundry room. If you are not having a master upstairs what would be used in that space? That model is my dream home. I wouldn’t change anything especially the extra room downstairs because it would be perfect for my family who have trouble walking or going up and down the stairs, but can’t wait to see your home finished. Congrats on building your dream home.
Beautiful home! Such an exciting process! My aunt and uncle just finished building last spring and they have nothing but positive things to say about the process and how they’re home came out! Good luck!!
It is truly beautiful thing to see your sweet family rising up and achieving a dream like this. I especially love that kitchen. So happy for you Brianna❤
Wow how lucky! One thing I said I would always do if I built a house is I would have outlets put under the eaves for putting Christmas lights with a switch inside.
I’ve never seen the office half way up the stairs like that I LOVE that! Also I love your fireplace idea... and the kitchen sink in front of the window 😍😍😍 I love it all 😂❤️❤️
Bri! You make me want to move! There’s no way we can get that in California unless we want to pay a pretty penny! I’m excited to watch your vision come to life!! 🥰
What a beautiful home for you and your family. I'm so excited for all of you. What great memories you will share with your friends and family in that gorgeous house. Me personally - I would probably leave the master bedroom upstairs near the kids. I wouldn't feel comfortable being so far away from them on the first floor. That's just how I feel but you must have your personal reasons for wanting the master bedroom on for first floor. Can't wait to see your finished home. 💕💕
The house is simply gorgeous I absolutely love it n I know when u decorate it’s going to b beautiful!! I’m so excited for u guys I can’t wait to come along with u on this journey it’s just all so exciting!! I’m so happy for all of u!!
I cant wait til you post ur video when your dream home is done and decorate your home designs and the way its decorated is really nice. this home is beautiful
Brianna K right!?!? My aunt has something like that in her basement. That wine area or area for another bedroom would be perfect! You could do a glassed in room, with equipment, a tv on the wall and speakers 🙌🏻 HEAVEN!
You have such an exciting time in your life a new baby and new beautiful house!!! I’m so excited for you and your family. I love that there are 2 staircases 🤗🤗. That house is everything!!!!!! God bless you Bri!!!
Just a thought I wouldn’t have the master on the first floor away from the young kids I need to be close to my children if they wake up sick or scared I would put the guest room down there. But it’s a beautiful home
I’m happy for you guys... but I’m not sure it’s the best time to be flaunting your wealth while so many people have lost everything and can’t even pay necessary bills..
@@valishahoney I stand with you on that, we're manifesting sis! We are next. This isn't flaunting to me, this is a testimony. We are going to testify next.
if someone has an issue with her thriving and getting a new home for her family then that person needs to take the issue up within themselves. we should be happy for her.
We should be happy for everyone! Help who YOU can when YOU want but it isnt fair of you to expect people to do what YOU want. You dont know her personally and don't know what she does. It's not showing off. Look at it more positively
What are you putting in the place of the master suite they had??? And omg that a lot of storage area! Wouldn’t you want more basement area? I know the storage is great to get it out of the garage and what not! Yay
Love the house and love the way you say “little “ so much and their is nothing “little” about the house ! Lol love the changes u made it makes so much sense to have the half bath instead of the pantry ! Good ideas !!!

Kiwicrush24 I totally agree. Too much competition and bragging. New cars, bigger houses and more babies. 🙄
Agree!
Especially when people are out here jobless and struggling pay bills because of COVID.

Instead of a second fireplace I would put in retractable glass doors and bring the outside in 🙂❤️ Congratulations on your new home❣️❤️😘
Do some houses come with 2 fireplaces!? I live in the tropics, we don’t have homes with fireplaces here....
Oooo do the fireplace still but to the glass doors on both sides of the fireplace!
Agree! Specially since it’s a just for decorating. Imagine having big doors that you can open in the summer. I’d be so jealous!
Or double sided to the outside patio
Yes!! And she could do a outside fireplace
This is literally my dream house. EVERYTHING I would ever want. Wow so lucky
This is definitely a beautiful home.. and if you work hard and can afford it then why not, however I always wonder with a lot of UA-cam big accounts... why always move to something sooo big?? How is this what they all want bigger and bigger homes. I feel like I start watching UA-cam channels because they are relatable but then they become rich and it’s suddenly not relatable anymore...
Bigger home = more content to create! :D

They want something too big, can't actually afford it, go into debt then in a couple years have to move lol it's pathetic.
Joy1977 i live in the uk n here houses r so small as compared to those in usa 😭...well I can’t even afford a 250k house forget about these mansions
Amazing home! I would personally want the master bedroom upstairs near the kids rooms since they’re so young. And room for the washer and dryer on the second floor so you don’t have to carry all your laundry up and down the steps. Congratulations on your beautiful new home!
I was thinking about that laundry situation too! I got excited wondering if they would be able to pur in those cool laundry shoots
It amazes me that people have that many clothes to fill up those closets. Mine would only fill up about half of the kid's closet.
I'm watching this in awe! What an absolutely gorgeous home! I love that you're making adjustments to fit your family and your wants! Congratulations on the home of your dreams!
Is it weird that I’m already dreaming about watching you clean and decorate this home!?!? Haha So awesome! One very deserving family!!!!
Same lol
Lol SAME!!! I’m ready.
Me too! 😂
Can't wait for cleaning videos
Letty Hanson n)
Nobody going to mention how the basement "storage space" is like a whole apartment in there? 😭😭😭😭
Mrs. Soto seriously it’s massive very fortunate some apartment are not even that big
Amen it truly is beautiful
I love all the storage, i have a crawl space 😭 lol
Serously! My mouth literally fell open when she started walking around the basement.
@@miladirey4336 è vero! Potrebbero creare un altro appartamento!! Quanto costerà una casa così?
Hi!! Love the home tour... don't forget if possible add a "pot filler" faucet behind the stove!! Its a life saver! love ya!!
Vånillą Cøøįke great idea!
Mystn Rayne yesss!! I’ve always wanted one
My dream kitchen would definitely have one.
I have a pot filler in my 10 year old home and it is game changer. Definitely.

Yes something to think about. Especially in case of fire

What a stunning home! I can’t wait to see how all of your plans come to fruition! I know it will be beautiful and so functional for your growing and beautiful family. I definitely think the basement bedroom with added windows near the existing bathroom is a great idea for guests to have their own space! Love you guys!
Amanda Bay Agreed. I would put a guestroom down there!
I agree, if they also have a little bar then they can put a coffee maker down there as well so guest can have coffee in the morning.
Beautiful! So happy for you.
Bri the house is amazing. What plans do you have for all that space that was the master bedroom/bathroom/closets upstairs?
Came to ask this same thing haha would love to your ideas for that space!
They will have three kids soon. It’s a beautiful home, but I think it’s ideal for a family of five. 😊
Pam Beck I know but she already talked about turning the loft into a bedroom, and maybe the guest room in the basement. The whole master bedroom/closet/bathroom is a lot of square footage for just one more bedroom.
I was wondering the same thing! What will the current master suite upstairs become?
My guess was playroom. She never mentioned one and I can’t imagine she wouldn’t have a spot!
Not for me. All I can think about is the cleaning of such a huge house! As a European this is so American. For me over the top. But, everyone has their own taste and dreams so I am happy for you
Lee I don’t. Commenter said what I was thinking too. Bigger house = more maintenance. No thank you. Each to their own. We don’t all have to love it.
Ig that ppl (like me or you) in Europe are into a different kind of expensive houses.
@@Recusant_ guess what. in Europe we have a space outside too 😂
Usually people with houses this big don't clean them! I cleaned houses like this for a living and it always amazed me that some people had a house so big they couldn't clean it themselves.

You could lose kids in this house
Beautiful! I had my dream home built several years ago and it was a wonderful experience. Some recommendations I would make is to get an independent inspector to do an inspection before you sign off with the builder. Have outlets put into you closets. Ask about a chandelier lift, it is a button you punch that lowers the chandelier for cleaning and changing light bulbs. Game changer! Also ask about the Christmas light package. This gives you outlets in ares where you would plug in lights.I think the outlets and lighting placement are the area where I have regrets or need to upgrade. Best of luck looking forward to seeing how you decorate and organize the new space. Kim
I am so happy for you and your family! I love how you thank all your subscribers and are so humble about the new house! You are so kind! The house is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see how you decorate!! I get all my ideas from you! Thank you for all you do!
Def add a guest bedroom downstairs. For all the eventual slumber parties, family hosting, etc.
I wouldn’t change a single thing besides adding an extra bedroom in the basement and the extra bedroom upstairs! This house a literal dream 💖
I thought you were not keen on building and moving and this was Adams dream and you came round to the idea. Your current home is so relatable. The size and how you can decorate it and clean gives me ideas for my home.I really enjoyed you renovating the kitchen. It is the perfect sized house for your family and a new one on the way. You have so many memories there and I have really enjoyed watching you as the ideas you share are achievable for me as a stay at home Mum in the home you are in.
And natural light in the closet is a great idea
It’s beautiful bri! I like the idea of moving out that wall and making it one big mud room/laundry space and moving the pantry closer to the kitchen. Excited to see all of the home decor! Especially for Christmas 💗
This model home is incredible! We made the dumb decision to remodel while living here, it’s now going on 19 months and it’s still going on....Never ever again! Congrats soon to be family of 5 ❤️ absolutely gorgeous and well deserved❣️
I would recommend getting hardwood throughout the house. Of course it’s your decision and you do have young kids, but carpets don’t look or last as nice as wood.
We just moved from a house that had the master upstairs and my three children on the main floor. I really missed being close to the children after we lived there for 7 years. My third child was a newborn and it did make it a lot harder as she was my most difficult sleeper to go downstairs sometimes 3-4 times in one night until she was 2 years old. Can't wait to see you flourish in the new house. Xx
Your house is going to be gorgeous! I love all of your plans for the build. I'm so excited to see how you decorate your custom house for the holidays! I'm getting a house in the next year or two and my main necessity is a staircase with a railing so I can decorate it for Christmas.
Super excited for decorating videos in your new home 🥰 STAY BLESSED!
Beautiful home! I love how open it is and can’t wait to see the final result! One thing I will mention in case you haven’t already thought about it, is make sure the closet doors open outward. I noticed that at least two closets had the doors open inward. That will make you lose closet space. And we know how important closet space is 😉.
I am so excited for all of you.
The window sit in the office is literal DREAMS 😍😍😍✨
Hi there from New Zealand. Brianna, see if you can go and look at a kitchen with drawers under the kitchen benches instead of cupboards. They hold a lot of contents and it saves a lot of bending. Love your channel, you are a must watch for me every week! x
Honestly, i would stay upstairs in the master. It’s so much prettier.
Yes it's pretty but as you get older it can be so helpful to have the master bedroom on the first floor .
I agree. Are you really going to want to be on a different level than the kids? The other thing I thought of, just because when we look at houses this comes up, do you really want a fireplace in the great room? It significantly limits the size of the TV and are you OK with looking UP to watch TV? I know you'll have a movie room but the great room is where you'll "live" most of the time and it's nice to cook and watch TV with everyone. That's just us. The houses we looked at all have beautiful great rooms but no real wall for a TV or decor. In any case, the house is beautiful!!
Agreed. Master bedroom upstairs with the kids is best.
I agree. That’s what I would do, but of course, do what you love Bri.
I am paranoid about burglars and fires, or worry about a kid falling down the stairs in the middle of the night to come to my room so I would without a doubt have to be upstairs closer to the kids. Also, the downstairs where the master is going to be, I would make that a guest room. I have a designated room that is on the first floor (easier on older people, no stairs up or down) that has a bathroom close and is closer to the kitchen without being right there by the rest of the household, so the first floor room makes more sense to me as a guestroom. That's just me, of course everyone is different! Very pretty
Brianna I love the idea of adding that fireplace. Will be nice and cozy. God Bless.
Love the new house and your changes! Just think that the pantry should stay in the same spot and add the powder room on the mudd room side, that way it’ll all be cohesive.
I agree, I wouldn't want the bathroom so close to my kitchen.
Yes! I think the same! I think it’s good that you’re going that wall down! But leave the pantry where it is!
Congratulation Bri... I have always enjoyed watching your channel & thank you for sharing your story with us. You seem so kind & gentle spirited as well as a great wife & mother. Your a nice example to young mothers today. I love the idea of the opened up area of the mud room. I agree it seems a bit closed off right now & opening it up would def make it more functional. You'all need that with baby #3 and being on the go. Don't pay attention to the negativity from others., You do you... Enjoy your journey. We all have different places in life & different lifestyles. I think it will be a beautiful home for a beautiful family.
So since you are moving the master down stairs what are you going to do with the master upstairs? You didn't say....or I missed it💙 thanks Bri Your home is going to be beautiful!!💙
Deanna Bell that’s what I’m wondering
Wondering too. It’s massive!!!
Yes, this was my question, too.
Me too!
This was my question also!
I love those windows where you spoke of putting a second fireplace (too close to the other one) so I would leave as is but I’d make that bench seating with a built in table for the kids to do homework, work on projects, etc. It would be awesome to have a place like that with all the natural light. I loved the master suite upstairs and it seems like a great deal of extra expense to move it, but hey, it’s your home and I’m sure you have planned accordingly.
I love your channel, but just curious how people can afford these huge houses? My husband lost his job with the economy/pandemic! He is now working out of state so we don't lose our house!
Nobody can. Lol! It's a beautiful home but I couldn't stomach such a house payment for way more room than anybody really needs.
I get so confused by all the houses I see in the US, I feel like they must be significantly cheaper than the UK!
Cara Taylor I’m American and my house isn’t huge. Most people I know don’t either.
Houses are so much cheaper in the midwest, so that's part of it. Also, she has a thriving business, and her husband works also, so I'm guessing their income is pretty high. :)
Cara Taylor we live in Canada and it seems that a 800,000$ house here that would be a complete gut job would be a massive mansion in the states!
What a beautiful home. You are such a hard worker. You deserve all of this and more. Congratulations on your new home.
Also, considering the elevation of your lot if there’s a slope..you could save a TON money if you are able to utilize half of your basement as your garage. We did that too! Another thing that was important to us was the garden hose hook ups on the front/back and side of the house. If you end up building a garage or having it underneath the house be sure to add a mud room sink in it too bc there’s nothing worse than greasy hands making their way through the house to be washed in the bathroom 😹
Wow Briana! I remember finding your channel when I was pregnant with my second around the same time you were with Presley to see your growth with you channel and now building your dream home in such a short span of time is truly inspiring. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy & safe delivery. Can’t wait to see how you decorate your new home, please take us along the journey of the building stages :)
Can’t wait to see y’all move in and decorate when the house is built.What about a play room?
I love the floor plan exactly like it is. We had our kids upstairs and us downstairs and I hated it. Now all bedrooms are upstairs and I love it. Especially if there were an emergency. We can get to the kids quick and get out. Beautiful home.
This is beautiful, Bri! You deserve all the happiness in the world! Soooo exciting!!
Incredible!! What an exciting year for your family!! And if you're wanting opinions, I would definitely have them put the windows down in the basement for a potential future bedroom (it would give you more options for the future). You wouldn't have to finish it out as a bedroom yet, but it's way easier to install them during building as opposed to later down the road.
Why is the theme in so many videos purging and minimizing and how good it feels to get rid of so much stuff but everyone keeps buying bigger homes to fill up with stuff... seems so inconsistant ? Truly curious.
rich, zero humility and zero consistency
Yea and the influencers thrifting their stuff while selling their merch at 50-80 dollars a piece 😂
I think it’s smart to get more space right now, even if you don’t have a lot of things. With social distancing people are spending more time at home and that’s much easier with more space
Beautiful home!! My family is currently building a home in Temple Texas!! I watched this to get ideas and the floor plan is so similiar. I am however having anxiety about our bedroom being downstairs while my 3 and 4 year old are upstairs!!! I didnt think much about it at first but the closer it gets I do. Did you have that problem? I'm trying to get past it and enjoy the process and blessing for my family. Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful home! make sure they put a Christmas light switch in so you can put candles in your front windows and just flip them all on with one switch. Also when the time comes make sure you have electric outlets in all the places you want them like a Tv in the bathroom or more than one socket in the foyer. Make sure every closet has a light and definitely put the laundry room upstairs. A fireplace in the master would be so fun too. The hearth room is a fantastic idea!! Its a huge home....but if its your dream I am so happy for you!
I am so excited for you I can see how you are so excited I am so glad I get to go on this journey with your family
I definitely agree with some of the other comments. I think glass French doors would be stunning. And maybe a fire place upstairs or in the basement? Or perhaps using a wall for a two way fireplace? Orrrr make the Fireplace mantle even bigger so you can decorate around the TV or raise the TV up higher and face it down with some brackets so that way you can also decorate the fireplace and have a TV above it. Just thoughts! congratulation!
It’s gorgeous! I can’t wait to see how you have yours built and your touch! It’s gonna be even better 😍
Wow. I’d definitely keep the master bedroom upstairs so you are all together on 1 level. Otherwise all sounds gorgeous x
Life kept us from having our dream home and now we are to old. I am so thrilled for you and your family that you are able to realize your dream(s) and baby congratulations!! May God continue HIs many blessings on you and your family.
Anyone else think her current house is good enough? No, just me? 😂Your new house is beautiful though Bri! But I think your current home IS a forever home, imo. Can you imagine that huge house after the kids leave? ♥
Her current home is very beautiful. But people think bigger is better. Always have to be upgrading something, I guess.
Congratulations! Your new home will be beautiful!!! So happy for u all!!! ♡
This house is seriously my dream home, it’s modern but has a vintage vibe to it I love it!!! Everything about this home is perfect! I’m sure with your changes it’ll be just as beautiful for your family! Congrats! So many blessing coming your way and I’m glad I’m apart of it !
It's going to be such a blessing for ya'll!
The house is absolutely gorgeous and I know it’s truly a dream come true for you! I honestly cannot wait to follow along with the building process. So exciting 💕
OMG I KNOW! I hope they do tours through the stages! I absolutely loved that part of building!
I am so excited for you Bri!! We LOVED our home building process and I know you’re going to have such a blast!!
Every YT mom is the same. Pop out babies, new cars, new huge houses. Who needs this much space?
she & her husband worked hard to be able to afford this lifestyle. she’s very humble about it. this is for her real subscribers to enjoy. 🤗
@@m3llow24 you tell her girl. Clearly someone is jealous and isnt a true fan
@maria Gonzalez // some people are just chronically jealous. like how can you not like Brianna K? she’s such a positive influence for women on UA-cam! i’m 19 & i’m not even a mom yet but she motivates me to clean, eat healthy & stay optimistic.
Wow, what a truly amazing dream home. Y'all are very blessed. Congratulations on your new home and your new family member that will be blessing your family all the more.
It’s a beautiful home! I think for myself personally I would change the island or maybe the layout of the kitchen. I personally am not a huge fan of the island that is in the model home, but that’s just me I love everything else.
Hmm, I agree with this too. I think the island would be more useful being square or rectangular. I know the shape is mimicking the counter on the right side but it's odd and no value added to the island. Then again, it's hard to make that call from Chesterland where I'm not actually walking through the house and getting a good feel for size and shape of the room! LOL!
I agree. The island had a sharp point. Ouch.
Omg I didn’t think anybody would feel the same about the island! Yeah I think rectangular would be best, I’ve never seen an island like that before. And yes, very sharp corners!
I love the model as is. I would be so scared to change anything. I even like how the mud room is separated from the laundry room. If you are not having a master upstairs what would be used in that space? That model is my dream home. I wouldn’t change anything especially the extra room downstairs because it would be perfect for my family who have trouble walking or going up and down the stairs, but can’t wait to see your home finished. Congrats on building your dream home.
So beautiful!!! I love the closets and open floor plan and can’t wait to see how you decorate it!!!
Beautiful home! Such an exciting process! My aunt and uncle just finished building last spring and they have nothing but positive things to say about the process and how they’re home came out! Good luck!!
Dream goal #1 build my own home. Congrats that’s so exciting. I am low key hating tho lol.
It is truly beautiful thing to see your sweet family rising up and achieving a dream like this. I especially love that kitchen. So happy for you Brianna❤
I hope you have an outdoor space too! Like a big porch or patio , maybe a pool?
Sooo beautiful and I totally agree with you about the fireplace it will be much better and cozy .😊
Wow how lucky! One thing I said I would always do if I built a house is I would have outlets put under the eaves for putting Christmas lights with a switch inside.
so smart!
If you are gonna have the master bedroom downstairs what are you gonna put in the current master?
I’ve never seen the office half way up the stairs like that I LOVE that! Also I love your fireplace idea... and the kitchen sink in front of the window 😍😍😍 I love it all 😂❤️❤️
And an island in the laundry room is a DREAM!
OMG bri it’s gorgeous!!! So so excited for u & ur fam!😘 and so excited to share this journey w u!!😘❤️🎉
*I'VE BEEN DYING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!* So excited for your family!!
Congratulations Brianna.
I hope your house transit is beautiful as you are
Are you all still planning to build and move?? Been waiting to see an update on that! ♡︎♡︎♡︎
Your new home will be so beautiful. May the Lord continue to bless your family can't wait to see your design.
you’re going to have the most beautiful home Bri! i already know it💛
This 🏡 is beautiful 🤩 can’t wait for the updates.
Bri! You make me want to move! There’s no way we can get that in California unless we want to pay a pretty penny! I’m excited to watch your vision come to life!! 🥰
The floorplan she chose starts at $815K before any of the modifications so it's not far off from CA prices :)
What a beautiful home for you and your family. I'm so excited for all of you. What great memories you will share with your friends and family in that gorgeous house. Me personally - I would probably leave the master bedroom upstairs near the kids. I wouldn't feel comfortable being so far away from them on the first floor. That's just how I feel but you must have your personal reasons for wanting the master bedroom on for first floor. Can't wait to see your finished home. 💕💕
The house is simply gorgeous I absolutely love it n I know when u decorate it’s going to b beautiful!! I’m so excited for u guys I can’t wait to come along with u on this journey it’s just all so exciting!! I’m so happy for all of u!!
I cant wait til you post ur video when your dream home is done and decorate
your home designs and the way its decorated is really nice.
this home is beautiful
What about a gym in the basement!? That would be awesome for you!
Omg I love that idea
Brianna K right!?!? My aunt has something like that in her basement. That wine area or area for another bedroom would be perfect! You could do a glassed in room, with equipment, a tv on the wall and speakers 🙌🏻 HEAVEN!
You have such an exciting time in your life a new baby and new beautiful house!!! I’m so excited for you and your family. I love that there are 2 staircases 🤗🤗. That house is everything!!!!!! God bless you Bri!!!
Just a thought I wouldn’t have the master on the first floor away from the young kids I need to be close to my children if they wake up sick or scared I would put the guest room down there. But it’s a beautiful home
Can you pleeease make a video explaining the process of building your own home? Like how do you even start? Cost? Etc.
I’m happy for you guys... but I’m not sure it’s the best time to be flaunting your wealth while so many people have lost everything and can’t even pay necessary bills..
God is Blessing His people, my sister and my niece just bought new beautiful homes during this pandemic... I’m next... congratulations Brianna K!
@@valishahoney I stand with you on that, we're manifesting sis! We are next. This isn't flaunting to me, this is a testimony. We are going to testify next.
if someone has an issue with her thriving and getting a new home for her family then that person needs to take the issue up within themselves. we should be happy for her.
Let’s just stay home Thank you so much and we will receive our homes this year💕😃
We should be happy for everyone! Help who YOU can when YOU want but it isnt fair of you to expect people to do what YOU want. You dont know her personally and don't know what she does. It's not showing off. Look at it more positively
What are you putting in the place of the master suite they had???
And omg that a lot of storage area! Wouldn’t you want more basement area?
I know the storage is great to get it out of the garage and what not! Yay
Love the house and love the way you say “little “ so much and their is nothing “little” about the house ! Lol love the changes u made it makes so much sense to have the half bath instead of the pantry ! Good ideas !!!
Congratulations! It will be fun to watch the building of your dream home.
