We have had lots of requests for an updated Tour of our new home in The Villages. Hope you enjoy this tour and tips. We will do another tour once we have it fully decorated. Thanks! M&T ❤ TVE
We really enjoy your show you guys are great. We have been to one lifestyle visit and are coming up in a couple months to make a decision on a house, we are also looking at the model you bought. Did you have any concerns about buying a vinyl sided home? And how have you found the craftsmanship inside the house. There are a lot of bad builds these days. Thank you very much
You walked us through the lifestyle villa and I fell in love with that model and the furnishings. It seems a more practical choice to sell your old furniture than the cost to transport to Florida. New beginnings, fresh slate, downsize to practical. I like the neutral colors. Wayfair, Kohls, Home Depot, Costco.....who knew? Thank you for the tour and the price to relocate with a blank slate. Excellent presentation.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it! It’s been a fun way to start this next chapter of life. Looking forward to sharing an updated tour once we get it fully furnished and decorated.
Love your home and furnishings. Living in a small home is perfect for two people. No need for more as when we get older we realize what a blessing it is to have less to care for. Can't wait to see storage/laundry closet. I also love how transparent you are with with everything from the purchase price to its contents. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying our videos! So far the size of our Patio Villa has been perfect for the two of us. A lot less rooms to have to clean and decorate. Will post a storage and laundry video soon.
Congratulations. So light and bright. Looks absolutely beautiful. The palm plant looks so real. I love Costco and Wayfair. Also your Valentine's Day tree is decorated so cute. Love you both. Going forward, I would love to see your ideas for unique storage tips. Take care and enjoy!
You two have so much useful information! I so appreciate how transparent y'all are about everything, including all of this furniture and the prices. Super helpful! I had no idea that the patio villas did not come with ceiling fans. Ceiling fans are a must for me in the south. But that allows people to install upgraded fans that have wall controls. Every time I've had a ceiling fan with a pull chain, I have broken the chain - repeatedly. They just pull out of the top after a while. Now I'm in a place where the ceiling fans are controlled with a wall switch and it's SO much better. What a great team you two are! I love Tiffany's sense of design and color (yes to coastal and beach looks!) and Michael's frugal shopping tips. You two and your journey are a real inspiration!
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying our videos and find them helpful. Looking forward to sharing an update tour video once we get it fully furnished and decorated.
Looks great! Love the blinds as is. I wouldn’t add curtains later on as they’re just dust collectors. Yes, we love Costco online for ordering home furniture items. Can’t wait to see the house in six months!
Great job on furnishings and layout. The house looks lovely and really coming together. I like your style Tiffany so well done. The blinds also look great. I also love the valentine's tree and look forward to seeing it for St Patrick's day. Looking forward to your next video. Do More of what makes you happy. Everyday is best.🎉🎉
Thanks so much! 😊 It’s fun to decorate and celebrate for each of the holidays! Life is short and everyday is a gift so Do More Happy! 😃 Have an awesome weekend!
Have I missed the tour of your home after you finished furnishing your home? I’m also looking forward to the storage solutions in laundry room, closets and garage. Is this yet to come?
Greetings from New Zealand. I am thoroughly enjoying watching your life in the Villages and I especially love how everyone drives around in golf carts instead of cars. That is definitely a lifestyle I could get used to. Here in our small rural town, the second vehicle for many families is a tractor, and there are more sales lots for tractors and 4x4s than there are for cars. We are just nearing the end of our summer and I have to admit I am amazed that our summer temperatures are not that far different from your winter temps. Mid-summer here is around 24-27 degs C. (75-80 F). Warmest regards, and thanks for sharing your amazing lifestyle. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Hello! Thank you so much for reaching out all the way from New Zealand! We would love to visit someday. It is on our travel bucket list! Hope you are having a great summer! Your town sounds like a great place to live. We would love to see some pictures or video of your community and maybe share in an upcoming video. Glad you are enjoying our videos. It’s so nice to connect with people near and far and from all around the world! Best regards and Thanks again!!
Hello Tiffany and Michael! I recently found your channel and enjoy watching your videos. You are both so positive and happy! You are correct about people moving a lot in the villages. We moved from a courtyard villa in Bonita, to a courtyard villa in Charlotte, to a premier home in The Preserve. We currently live near Disney World and moved out of The Villages. Watching your videos makes me realize how much I want to come back. Hopefully someday soon!
Thank you for the tour! Your home is absolutely beautiful! I love all of the furniture you've chosen so far - you really got some amazing pieces from Costco! Those bar stools look like they were custom made for your breakfast bar. Love that office desk, too. And those club chairs you found at Home Depot are so perfect!
I so enjoyed your video. And we have stayed in both places you talked about on your Route 66 vaca! Love your color choices and your relaxed home decorating. So comfortable. Happy decorating!
❤BEST video tour..we also heard y’all are getting a Costco there too!! (Can’t wait to see where you’ll be putting all that TP,paper towels. So have you met your neighbors …wondering how many rentals have popped up vs regular home owners?
Love the furniture esp, the recliners. The large island is great for company and food. So the t.v., one day you might like a 100 in. or even an 82 in. set. We have an 82 in. t.v. I never thought it was necessary, but we feel like we are right there when it comes to watching football games and all sorts of shows. Thank you for sharing.
I've been enjoying watching your Villages journey! Something about Michael's delivery, mannerisms and speech patterns has always seemed so familiar, and it FINALLY hit me! You are the living, real life version of Ernie from Burt & Ernie on Sesame Street! It's uncanny!
Thanks so much!! Glad you are enjoying this experience with us! I will definitely take that as a compliment especially as a 70s kid who grew up on Sesame Street! Always enjoyed Ernie’s fun but mischievous personality and his positive outlook no matter what.
Thx Tiffany & Michael for the detailed tour…. It was wonderful to see where you bought things! Costco is so awesome… wow ! I’m Going to check it out … haven’t looked online at things in awhile!!! Your home is cheerful…. Just like the two of you!! 🤩
Enjoyed❤ your video very much. You achieved the light 🏖️airy 🏄♀️coastal 🐠look you wanted. I love Costco too. Include the bathrooms🛁 in your updated video. Great job decorating.🥰
We adore Costco too!!! So happy to hear they bought land on Highway 44 near Russell Stover & will be building late 2024 & will open in 2025. We really like your Tv console & may look into purchasing one for our house😉
I love the look!!! I'll be looking at Costco for pieces for our courtyard villa. Most of the furniture is coming from our home in Virginia since we have plenty of extra, but we will need to buy some things. Love the coastal living room club chairs. Great pattern.
A GREAT show. We maybe joining you in a couple of years at TV. Love seeing your experiences from the beginning. Love what you have done with the place. Can't wait to see what you have done in the washer/dryer area.
Great video! Love all your new furniture and decorations. I’d love to see your Route 66 videos and a storage video. Thank you for sharing where you got everything also 😁
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Will edit and share some of our Route 66 trip in a future video. Will post a storage tips video in the next couple of weeks.
Great video, Thanks so much for sharing, I love the tips that you are giving us and think you have a lovely home looking forward to the next video and hoping to run into you both sometime
Hello Michael and Tiffany, my fiancé, Kelly and I are coming down early April for a lifestyle visit and looking to move down there just in over two years. Your videos are really helpful and thank you for sharing all the information and prices on furniture etc and all the information that you give out.
We just closed on our new home in TV on 1/30/2024. Much like you all we decided to start from scratch and we are super happy about that decision. We bought our lanai furniture from Costco and we are extremely pleased with the price and quality. We are down in Dabney not far from you all. I know it's a bit of a drive, but the HomeGoods in Clermont and Wildwood are both full of surprising deals. If you ever want to stop by our place, just let me know.
Awesomeness! Congratulations and welcome to The Villages! Costco is the best. We bought our lanai furniture from there as well. Will make sure to show it in an upcoming video. Thanks for the recommendation on HomeGoods! We have been wanting to check it out but have been too busy to get over there. Will make a trip over there soon. Thanks!
I'm devouring your videos because you two are EXACTLY like my husband and I. Thank you for doing these videos. I love the way you do them, very simple and real. My question is about your bed... What kind of mattress is it (foam, coil, hybrid) and do you like it, love it or don't like it?
Looks great congratulations!!! I would put a much larger picture at end of counter on wall… the one you have there is nice but too small I would move the happy sign kiddie corner over pantry and refrig then the other 2 where your happy sign is now Again congratulations!! Love it!! Love the chairs in living room
Thanks so much! We just ordered some new artwork (President’s Day Deals this weekend) and will be moving things around. Appreciate the tips! Will do another tour once we have it fully furnished and decorated.
No Printer? I don't know why that was the 1st thing I thought of in your office/guest/den room. It will be interesting to see how the furniture holds up and I did not know or forgot about Costco, return match offers that is great and worth the returns. You have done amazingly well putting it together in a short time and I love the color scheme. Thanks for showing it off you should be proud.
Thanks so much! Forgot about the printer. It is actually in the closet but it might fit in the storage space under the stand up desk. Will make sure to show that in our upcoming storage and laundry video.
Hello!!! happy Floridians I love your new decorations especially the patio door curtains can you please tell me how you made them look so clean cut. Mine don’t look like that .
Thanks! Totally get it. We lived in our last house for almost 17 years. It’s been fun to downsize and start fresh. Will see if we want to move or stay put at the 1 year mark.
Love your style!! Thanks for the information, I had no idea the patio villas didn't come with window treatments or ceiling fans......good thing to know! Do you use your lani a lot? I'm looking for a home with an enclosed lani, I'd like to have my office in that area and have AC put in. Your home looks beautiful! I'm so hoping we sell my business soon, My husband and I want to do a lifestyle tour and I hope to convince him to move down there.........we had 5" of snow today and I'm sick of winter........We live in Wisconsin. I'm so jealous! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing your villages journey. The emerald patio villa model is something I have been interested in and am looking forward to your 6 month expense report. Really love your decorating choices as I tend to lean towards teals and blues. I saw the booth that had the nautical wood pictures at the Spanish springs arts and crafts fair. I didn’t catch the name of the artist. Hoping they may be at the Brownwood arts and crafts fair so I can purchase something.
Thanks for sharing your update. It is always fun to see how people decide to decorate, especially since so many of the homes have similar basic floor plan. I recently saw a video where the owner had repainted and change the flooring and countertops right after moving in. He was very critical of the quality of the builder grade paint and the flooring. Do you have anything thoughts about that?
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. We are ok with the paint and the floors but we may replace the countertops with quartz or granite in the future. Will share in a video if we do. Thanks!
We love your home so beautiful !! Do you have children? And Grandchildren? And do you see them a lot ? My husband &I we downsized in our town 3 years ago and live near our Youngest daughter and husband and our 2 granddaughters and love it ! We have 7 grandchildren all together and live close to all of them
I love your club chairs. I have same potted plant in my NY home. Now, your Hisense TV. I wish you the best of luck but so far we haven't had good luck with that brand. My son's dad's broke after a few years..the picture just went out but had sound. I didn't pay attention and we bought 1 for our Lakeland FL home winter of 2021 I think. A few weeks ago my husband watching TV and the picture just went out. I tried googling to try and reset it and trouble shoot. Gave up. And had to buy a new TV. I want to decorate coastal but I always stay with the Italian Mediterranean decor. Your island chairs match perfectly!! Did you have to install the light kits on your ceiling fans? Or did you have to install the whole unit?
Thank you for sharing all you do, the more the better ideas we have to make a decision to moving there one day, Lord willing. Yes, please share storage tips for smaller laundry area, would be helpful for sure! We love our Costco here in Ohio too! Wish there was one in The Villages, maybe soon? What are the "overall" Taxes & "surprise expenses" there? we dont want any surprises when we get there, lol!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Will definitely do a storage tips video and show our laundry area in the next couple of weeks. We just had a new Costco open up about 30 minutes away from where we are located in TV. Here is a video we did about our first month costs. ua-cam.com/video/7N0jgtY8OBQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Thank you for your informative videos. We are thinking of coming for a Lifestyle visit in May. Any thoughts on what is a must do/see during our time? Any thoughts on what you didn’t see but wish you did before you made your purchase? We will continue to follow you.
Thanks!! Glad you are enjoying the videos! May is a great time to visit Florida and TV. Make sure you check out all of The Town Squares during the day and at night. We only stayed 4 nights on our Lifestyle visit but that was enough to know this was the place for us. In hindsight… wish we would have stayed a couple of days longer (just to go for long golf cart rides and explore more). Have fun on your Lifestyle visit! Keep us posted!
We have had lots of requests for an updated Tour of our new home in The Villages. Hope you enjoy this tour and tips. We will do another tour once we have it fully decorated. Thanks! M&T ❤ TVE

A beautiful house, with a BEAUTIFUL couple!❤️❤️ I follow your journey with great JOY!Greetings from a winter landscape in Sweden ❄️☃️👋🏻🇸🇪❄️💕
Thank you so much! Appreciate you following along from Sweden. Hello from sunny Florida ☀️🌴😎.
Congratulations. So light and bright. Looks absolutely beautiful. The palm plant looks so real. I love Costco and Wayfair. Also your Valentine's Day tree is decorated so cute. Love you both. Going forward, I would love to see your ideas for unique storage tips. Take care and enjoy!
Thank you so much!
A 9 by 12 area rug will look great in your family room!
We think so too! Just have not found the right one yet. Thanks!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVEif you didn't have one yet, home goods had good deals on them
I ❤ everything you got from Costco and Home Depot. 😊
Thanks! Us too!
Area rugs in front of the sofa and under the dining room table would soften the floors. Beautiful home!
Thanks so much!
You two cheer me right up. So positive and so upbeat. Love your furniture style and Michael your spoiled with the TV. Tiffany surely loves you ❤❤
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying our videos. We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary in a couple of months.
Thanks so helpful, would love one on organization- your pantry, laundry, garage since downsizing.
Well, THAT was fun!! thank you! You got some very nice things and it'll be fun to see what you do with it all. Beautiful colors!! I am inspired!
Thanks so much! Looking forward ro sharing an update video once we get it fully furnished and decorated.
Love the cellular blinds. They aren't as intrusive looking as plantation shutters. Tiffany you did a beautiful job decorating your home. ENJOY!
Thanks so much! 😊
I love the tree decorated for Valentine’s Day. What a great idea.
Thank you so much ! Fun to decorate for each of the holidays. Will share our Saint Patrick's Day decorations in a few weeks.

Thank you for sharing your journey Michael & Tiffaney
Our pleasure! Thanks for always taking the time to leave a comment! Appreciate it!
Looks great! Love the blinds as is. I wouldn’t add curtains later on as they’re just dust collectors. Yes, we love Costco online for ordering home furniture items. Can’t wait to see the house in six months!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback!
We are considering the villages and you are very helpful.
Very helpful! I'm looking now for a home in TV.
Your home is perfect!! and it is decorated beautifully!! Loved watching this and hated for it to end!!
Thank you so much!!
Wonderful home!! Love the kitchen Aid mixer! What a fabulous Florida color!
Thanks so much!
Great job on furnishings and layout. The house looks lovely and really coming together. I like your style Tiffany so well done. The blinds also look great.

What a wonderful start to your decor! I wish I could figure out what goes with what like you do Tiffany. So happy for you two!
Navy or turquoise sheers in the living room would pop!
Great suggestion! Thanks!
Nice cellular blinds. Not only are they unique, but they are versatile as far as you can let in different amounts of light into the room.
Thanks! Yes the blinds are very versatile!
Have I missed the tour of your home after you finished furnishing your home? I’m also looking forward to the storage solutions in laundry room, closets and garage. Is this yet to come?
Tiffany, your style is so similar to mine!! Thank you for showing everything you’ve decorated your home with - you’re giving me lots of ideas!!! ❤❤
Y’all are just AWESOME. ❤R&A
You should have dual monitors in your office. Very easy to do and helpful as well.
Greetings from New Zealand. I am thoroughly enjoying watching your life in the Villages and I especially love how everyone drives around in golf carts instead of cars. That is definitely a lifestyle I could get used to. Here in our small rural town, the second vehicle for many families is a tractor, and there are more sales lots for tractors and 4x4s than there are for cars.
We are just nearing the end of our summer and I have to admit I am amazed that our summer temperatures are not that far different from your winter temps. Mid-summer here is around 24-27 degs C. (75-80 F).
Warmest regards, and thanks for sharing your amazing lifestyle. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Hello! Thank you so much for reaching out all the way from New Zealand! We would love to visit someday. It is on our travel bucket list!
Hope you are having a great summer! Your town sounds like a great place to live. We would love to see some pictures or video of your community and maybe share in an upcoming video.
Glad you are enjoying our videos. It’s so nice to connect with people near and far and from all around the world!
Best regards and Thanks again!!
I am proud of you both for downsizing from a 3,000 sq ft house to your current size. I am a pack rat. I love your decor, good job. First time viewer.
Nice! We were just down last week in a rental. We actually saw Tiffany at Publix! We really like following along with your journey.
Awesome! Hope you had a great visit! Thanks for following along!
So far, so good with the decorating! Congratulations on the move! Your home is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Everything is very nice! And those blinds are so versatile.
Thanks! The blinds are so versatile.

Thank you so much!! Glad you are enjoying the videos. How do you like your new location near WDW?
It’s great but there’s lots of traffic. We will probably come back to TV eventually 😊
I love your channel! You two are so positive and cheery, not to mention very informative. Thank you!!

That’s awesome! Small world! 🌴
Please post a video about downsizing and space saving/multi purpose ideas!
A GREAT show. We maybe joining you in a couple of years at TV. Love seeing your experiences from the beginning. Love what you have done with the place. Can't wait to see what you have done in the washer/dryer area.
That would be Awesome! Will post a storage and laundry video soon. Thanks!
I enjoy your videos and tips about buying furniture.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. I visited The Villages last year. I have the same decorating taste as you do. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!

That space below your coffee bar would fit a wine cooler real well.. Just a thought..

Like the desk a lot.
Thanks!
would like to see an estate sale video bet there is tons of cool stuff
That’s what we have heard. We are going to try and go to our first estate sale in the next few weeks. Thanks!
Looks great congratulations!!!
I would put a much larger picture at end of counter on wall… the one you have there is nice but too small
I would move the happy sign kiddie corner over pantry and refrig then the other 2 where your happy sign is now
Again congratulations!!
Love it!!
Love the chairs in living room

Hello!!! happy Floridians I love your new decorations especially the patio door curtains can you please tell me how you made them look so clean cut. Mine don’t look like that .
Hello! We bought them on Amazon (link to our Amazon Shop). www.amazon.com/shop/rvdiem
They come in different sizes and colors. Hope this helps!
great video
Not me. Once I buy, I don't and hate moving so hopefully, I will like it once we move in a place there. Your place is adorable!
Thanks! Totally get it. We lived in our last house for almost 17 years. It’s been fun to downsize and start fresh. Will see if we want to move or stay put at the 1 year mark.
Love your sharing the trip! And do you have pets? Does your unit have a fenced in backyard?
Great update video Michael & Tiffany! 👍👍
Were you able to sell your Motorhome and RV Lot Cottage?
Thanks! Not yet. Will hopefully have an update and video on that in the next few weeks (maybe sooner).
Great taste!! We have a beach house in Garden City SC and I have the same chairs and end table. LOL
That’s Awesome! Have a great weekend! Thanks!
I didn't even have the camp chairs, just the air mattress
Love your style!! Thanks for the information, I had no idea the patio villas didn't come with window treatments or ceiling fans......good thing to know! Do you use your lani a lot? I'm looking for a home with an enclosed lani, I'd like to have my office in that area and have AC put in. Your home looks beautiful! I'm so hoping we sell my business soon, My husband and I want to do a lifestyle tour and I hope to convince him to move down there.........we had 5" of snow today and I'm sick of winter........We live in Wisconsin. I'm so jealous! Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much! Yes we love and use our Lanai almost every single day. Stay warm and good luck selling your business!
Thanks for sharing your villages journey. The emerald patio villa model is something I have been interested in and am looking forward to your 6 month expense report. Really love your decorating choices as I tend to lean towards teals and blues. I saw the booth that had the nautical wood pictures at the Spanish springs arts and crafts fair. I didn’t catch the name of the artist. Hoping they may be at the Brownwood arts and crafts fair so I can purchase something.
Thanks so much! We are really enjoying the layout of our Emerald Patio Villa.
Thanks for sharing your update. It is always fun to see how people decide to decorate, especially since so many of the homes have similar basic floor plan. I recently saw a video where the owner had repainted and change the flooring and countertops right after moving in. He was very critical of the quality of the builder grade paint and the flooring. Do you have anything thoughts about that?
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. We are ok with the paint and the floors but we may replace the countertops with quartz or granite in the future. Will share in a video if we do. Thanks!
We love your home so beautiful !!
Do you have children? And
Grandchildren?
And do you see them a lot ?
My husband &I we downsized in our town 3 years ago and live near our
Youngest daughter and husband and our 2 granddaughters and love it !
We have 7 grandchildren all together and live close to all of them
I love your club chairs. I have same potted plant in my NY home. Now, your Hisense TV. I wish you the best of luck but so far we haven't had good luck with that brand. My son's dad's broke after a few years..the picture just went out but had sound. I didn't pay attention and we bought 1 for our Lakeland FL home winter of 2021 I think. A few weeks ago my husband watching TV and the picture just went out. I tried googling to try and reset it and trouble shoot. Gave up. And had to buy a new TV. I want to decorate coastal but I always stay with the Italian Mediterranean decor. Your island chairs match perfectly!! Did you have to install the light kits on your ceiling fans? Or did you have to install the whole unit?
Thank you for sharing all you do, the more the better ideas we have to make a decision to moving there one day, Lord willing.
Yes, please share storage tips for smaller laundry area, would be helpful for sure! We love our Costco here in Ohio too! Wish there was one in The Villages, maybe soon?
What are the "overall" Taxes & "surprise expenses" there? we dont want any surprises when we get there, lol!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Will definitely do a storage tips video and show our laundry area in the next couple of weeks. We just had a new Costco open up about 30 minutes away from where we are located in TV. Here is a video we did about our first month costs. ua-cam.com/video/7N0jgtY8OBQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Looks great! Love Costco ;)
Thanks so much! Us too! Can’t beat Costco customer service, prices and return policy.
I really would like to see your laudry room, thanks
We will do a storage and laundry room video in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
love the desk...standing is important from time to time
Thank you for your informative videos. We are thinking of coming for a Lifestyle visit in May. Any thoughts on what is a must do/see during our time? Any thoughts on what you didn’t see but wish you did before you made your purchase? We will continue to follow you.
Thanks!! Glad you are enjoying the videos! May is a great time to visit Florida and TV. Make sure you check out all of The Town Squares during the day and at night. We only stayed 4 nights on our Lifestyle visit but that was enough to know this was the place for us. In hindsight… wish we would have stayed a couple of days longer (just to go for long golf cart rides and explore more). Have fun on your Lifestyle visit! Keep us posted!
Love your candiru
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
When i was looking at listings, I noticed that there are some furnished homes for sale. That coyld definitely save on furniture costs or moving costs
Thanks!
My wife n I will be coming to check out tge villages. Hopefully I can by you a beer while we are there.
Awesome! Hope you have a fun lifestyle visit!
