You can definitely create a European cottage in your new home. Changing out countertops, flooring backsplashes will brighten the areas up and give it your beautiful touches. The cabinets and doors are definitely keepers, especially as they are all solid wood! I would turn the “formal” dining room in a prep kitchen/pantry- add lower cabinets and countertops, a sink, one wall oven and a smaller dishwasher and fridge or freezer and then open shelving for food storage, this will allow extra people to bake and cook and prep along with you in the small kitchen. I love all the brick, I will say I love how Andea on her channel Pine and Prospect has created her galley kitchen. Live in it, figure out the flow and function of each room before making any major design decisions.
It absolutely precious. You are very wise to live in the house and let the house speak to you and discover the best way to make it yours. Congratulations!
I just found your channel and LOVE this home. Your old home is lovely- but was similar to many current day well done homes. That decor will eventually become outdated like everything else. But this home is classic and I am so looking forward to seeing you bring it to life with your style. Just one aside - I love pantries as well - but there are few rooms as charming as a dining room. To have a room that is devoted to family occasions and entertaining is so special and beautiful. Though not an everyday room, mine is my favorite room in the house - always clean and quiet and welcoming. I sit in there with a cup of tea when I need quiet time. Oh and when it is decorated for the holiday and the table is set for special occasions, nothing is better.
This home is quite different from your new pole barn home. I would call it new and polished vs quaint and cozy! It's all a matter of preference. With the talents and experience that you and your husband have, I'm sure you will transform Lavender Blue into the most charming cottage ever! I'll be watching! Enjoy the process!
Seeing your white, bright, marble, lovely home first and then this one is pretty much of a shock together. The outside of this one is so beautiful and the hard work that was put into it building all the paths and flower bed. Then walking in to the work you will be having to do on this one is more than I could invision or take on. I know you love that but your other one was done after five years of work. You say you will leave a lot untouched but once the brightening starts I wonder if you will be able to. I may be just too old to want to start this much work and of course furniture will change the looks right away but I can’t wait to see what you do.
It is so beautiful just as it is, and I can hear the quiet contentment in your voice and words. It’s really wonderful how God works. I think he gave you the desire of your heart ❤️
It is a charming home and property. I agree that it takes time to live in a new home as a family to see what works and what doesn't. I also agree that most of the changes are cosmetic rather than major construction. Before you know it, the home will reflect your style. Enjoy the process. We look forward to watching what you do. Thank you for sharing your heart.
What a darling home. I can’t wait to see you personalize it to your family’s needs. I look forward to seeing watching your delightful transformation. 😊
I love the food storage in the basement. You can have a party making food to store for the winter after you harvest the crop you will so much love to make one day. Your very own vegetable garden in addition to your lavender. Kind of a small homestead.
Oh my...I can see why you may have questioned your move. A beautiful home, especially when you built yourself. We built our forever/retirement home in 1995 with the help of our 5 kids on 3 acres, so I could have my horses etc. We had so many different memories, our annual Christmas open house, parties, bible studies, graduations, college kids, and receiving those that mourned with us when our 17 hear old daughter, second of five children was killed in a MVA one week before her HS graduation. We did sell to our youngest so he could and his wonderful wife could raise there daughters there. This was 7 years ago and there are days I wish we were still there. I love your current home and especially the brick and beams, since I love a rustic ranchy home. How fun it will be to make it yours, blessings from central Nebraska Nebraska.
I like the fact that you will be truning the formal dining room into a pantry/ kitchen extension. You can add a beautiful kitchen island for your food prep.
How darling! I love the brick in the kitchen! Can’t wait to see more! I especially think your idea of making that room off the kitchen into a butlers pantry, would be incredible!
The term butler's pantry is not used correctly in this video. What is being proposed is a walk in pantry. A butler's party is usually a "walk though" perhaps with some counters, between the kitchen and the dinning room. In old manor homes, the butler's party was often used for plating food, prior to serving it.
There’s a durability and charm to many mid century homes like this one that can’t be surpassed. When you’re done with the aesthetic changes, it will be gorgeous.
It does seem very cozy, almost like stepping into the home of Little Women. I can see why you’re so drawn and so excited. So happy for you! 🎉❤ God bless!
Hi, from the entrance a black runner. The ones they use in offices any public building to protect the carpets they have or people from slipping on wet floors will do wonders to cover the sleigt tiles until you are ready to do something with it. The family room, all it needs an area rug, big enough to cover most of the existing rug until you are ready to get rid of it and do something else.
My house has them light switches that control the center light or ceiling fan 4 of my rooms … also we purchased this home from a 98-year-old Czechoslovakian lady that we knew we lived on this block so when she leave to Galveston, she sold us the home. We were very fond of her but being that she was old she had her plugs up to make it convenient for her and I totally love the plugs high. We have some that are lower, but I kept the ones that were high when we rerouted rewired the house. I told them I want the plugs that had been there and then we had more plugs, but that is really cool as the older you get it gets harder so low and if you live in a flood zone they requested you put your plug higher so this lady had something going on way back to him, she was 25. I met her and they would tell me stories of the fireplace and things, but this house means so much to me because I grew up in this house and then when my mother passed, she left me the house and so that we knew the owner personally❤️ We have did very few updates. I still have original shiplap in the hallway. The kitchen has some type of wood paneling. It looks like sheet rock, but it’s not so we left it like that being at the house on pier and beam,I need to relevel it this year
I love it’s charm! The wallpaper in the upstairs hallway is so cute, maybe paint the bottom a different color. It reminds me of my childhood home in some ways. I can’t wait to see what you do to it and your things in it! 😊
What a beautiful home! It's full of character and potential. You're able to start living right away since everything is already done and you can mosey into many, if not most of your home improvements. Although your previous home was also very beautiful, I think you made a great decision moving to this new home. Congratulations!
Love the outside - the color and the surroundings. I can see myself in that space. The inside can be made to be a sweet cottage feel, and I'm sure you will get around to it. I would have to lighten it up pretty quickly, though. I wouldn't like all of the darkness. I can totally understand the move, though. It's hard to pour all the resources into it....need to live a little.
What a great home. Yes dated but so much potential. Our last home had a large formal living room that connected to a small dining room that attached to the kitchen. It didn’t work for us. So we turned the original dining room into a breakfast nook (had great windows) and butlers pantry/serving area. The original formal living room then was turned into our dining room. I found the largest table and it sat about 16 people. It was amazing. When we had gatherings all the food would be placed in the butlers pantry/serving area and our guests would help themselves. Kept the kitchen somewhat clean during parties. I’m sure whatever you do will be lovely. Enjoy your new space
I think the house is so charming. Love the brick in the kitchen and the cabinets. The upstairs bedrooms are cute. A lot of storage for an older house. I can’t wait to see what you do with this house.
Girl, it has so much potential. I love all the little nooks. We are 2 years in on our older home journey. So excited to see what you do. We left a brand new build for a 1980’s ranch. I truly love the separation of rooms. It makes the house feel so good to us. Weird how you leave a new open floor plan and fall in love with walls 😂. Enjoy the journey. God Bless you and your family!!
I can see why you were drawn to this cozy cottage! Its charm is perfect for your style. It’ll be exciting to see how you transform it into your own home.
Well, I can certainly see why you love this gorgeous home! There is so much charm, character, value in all that REAL WOOD! What a beautiful place for your family to begin the next chapter. You all deserve a nice long rest after your many years of endless work. Relax and enjoy and may the blessings flow!
What a Blessing!! This house is perfect for you! It has enough to give you a creative outlet, but won’t be overwhelming. Love love this house! Excited to see what you do. Oh, and totally love the yard! I would live outside😊
The contrast between your "old" pole barn home and this "new" cottage home is so incredible! Both are lovely in their own ways, but I love an old home. I'm hoping someday my family will be able to afford one of our own! Btw, I've been seeing ads lately for colored toilets, so they're coming back in style 😉
As you walked us through the house I started smiling and thought, oh that is so you and fits your style to a T. Can't wait to see the process of transformation as it goes from a house to a home. May God bless you with a house full of love, laughter and peace.
Nice home! I know with a few minor changes you'll all enjoy the quaintness of the details and the endless charm it has to offer! I love the brick in the kitchen! The intercom system did give me a giggle though! As the house isn't that large to actually need one, I'm sure it was nice to have!
The doorway with the kids heights. 🥹Gets me every time. I really wanted my hubby to tear out our door jam for my daughter’s heights. But we left behind. Your new home is lovely. Looking forward to seeing how you make this home yours.
This is such a lovely and cozy home. I think there is a lot of benefits to smaller homes. But this is not exactly small. How exciting to make new plans! I appreciated hearing your thoughts on your last home. There certainly a lot of emotions with homes we live in and put a lot of time into.
Cami, you and your family will enjoy the coziness of the indoors and the beauty of the outdoors. Those doors are the same doors I have here. I do like the wood tones. Congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure it was difficult to leave your other beautiful home!❤
I love it. We had the radio in the wall in one of our homes, and it worked. When you turn it on, it takes a minute for the tube to warm up . We also had the same intercoms system. ❤❤❤
I ❤ and understand both homes and the desire to not scrape by, less space, more focused time. I’m excited for you guys. Both homes are beautiful because your family is living there. Good luck!! ❤happy unpacking.
I love it! With your creativeness you and your husband will turn that house into a dream as you did your last home. So much charm and character there. Blessings on your adventure!
As you have the chair rails already installed in some rooms, I just put in our home some paintable wallpaper that has like a vertical shiplap look to it. I absolutely love it and you can paint it to whatever colour you like. Mine is top and bottom the same colour, an off white. It looks so good. I'm in Australia. Beautiful cosy home you've purchased. Jo xxx
What a sweet home! It seems like a place of and togetherness. I hope that you all will to love it and make it your own and build beautiful memories in it.
I love it and you are right it has a lot of potential. I love the upstairs. With all its shapes,cubby like areas. You do have a lot of storage. Looking forward to seeing what you do.l also love the kitchen with the brick cooking area I would definitely be keeping it if it were mine.❤😊
Love the lights fixtures with the white milk glass globes---perhaps removing the door to the family room as you enter from foyer and enlarge the opening and case it- this would open it up and be very spacious =====love the house =======😊😊😊
Oh so fun to make it your own. I think I would make that room off the kitchen part of the kitchen...as in knock down a wall to incorporate it. So cute and perfect for your family. Have fun!
I love your new home! And I may be a “lone voice crying in the wilderness”, but I love the upstairs wallpaper. It’s very quaint and I think you can easily work with it. We just closed on a 1977 country home with a wide wraparound porch. I’m thinking of using wallpaper like this to give it some age. Maybe I need to vlog our journey?
I hope you find all that you wish for in this new adventure. Taking time to slowly make changes is a breath of fresh air for you, I would imagine. All the hard work of your last home brought you (hopefully) to your forever one. Cozy is my cup of tea. May many blessings come for you and your family.
The house definitely has potential. Downstairs definitely a craft/office room for you and a homeschooling area for the children with a recreational space as well. I'd focus on the outside landscaping areas a little at a time. Couldn't tell if the ceilings are popcorn or not but if they are I'd tackle that as you do each room. Good luck.
Oh how I would love to have such a charming home.. I am with you Cami... work with it all.. I can see the memories your children will have when they are older.. what a blessing for your family...I have a more modern home but that phase for me is over and I dream of character and charm.. Blessings to you and your family..
I know this “new” home will have your vibe in no time! You’re doing it right, though, by living in it first for a while and getting the feel for the space and how and what you need to change to make it what your family wants and needs. I’m excited for your new journey and will love following along!
I love old homes and I see tons of potential in this home. I know you also have reasons besides just the home that you decided to make the move. I’m sure you’re going to make it beautiful and love living there and that’s all that matters but girl, I can’t understand for the life of me how you could actually walk away from that amazing home that your family built together. It was so amazing and that view out the front door was incredible!!! But I’m happy for you even if I don’t understand 😂
Oh my word - that’s adorable! It will be fun to see you update it. It’s amazing how a little paint and new flooring and even new hardware for drawers/cabinets make a huge difference! I can see why you fell in love with it. 💜💜
Your yellow toilet was called harvest gold. This is during the Avocado green time. There was also a brown called Coppertone. Also, check your outlets that are controlled by the switches. We have that in our living room. I love it. It only controls the top plug. It makes it simple to walk in & flip on the two lamps beside the sofa. The other plug in the outlet stays hot all the time.
Great home--love all the character and excellent storage (what is the pulley/hook on the dining room ceiling?) Really looking forward to see how the home evolves for your family! It's inspiring to see both your family's courage and excitement entering into this new chapter.
The house she built was just beautiful. I love how you eloquently shared your feelings about leaving this home. The lavender blue cottage has so much character and I know you’re going to do a great job making it your own. The wood doors are gorgeous and when I saw the wood accent in the one bedroom, I automatically thought that would be a good one for a boy. I am looking forward to watching your new adventures.❤️
Wow! What a difference from your pole barn home...looking forward to seeing the changes you and your husband make to your new Lavender Blue home! Enjoy!
hey girl- Loved the tour!😀😉 Such a cute cottage. I also really like the brick in the kitchen and the wood doors😁👍 oh so cool! Can't wait to see what y'all come up with ❤
So glad you are looking forward to immediate relief from trauma of building and completing your previous home and land. Whew! I'm guessing a top priority is getting the work shop set up and then the outdoor work.
I love it! I really see the potential. It's so charming and the property is just amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with the place. I love your style and am so excited for your future renovation videos.
You can definitely create a European cottage in your new home. Changing out countertops, flooring backsplashes will brighten the areas up and give it your beautiful touches. The cabinets and doors are definitely keepers, especially as they are all solid wood! I would turn the “formal” dining room in a prep kitchen/pantry- add lower cabinets and countertops, a sink, one wall oven and a smaller dishwasher and fridge or freezer and then open shelving for food storage, this will allow extra people to bake and cook and prep along with you in the small kitchen. I love all the brick, I will say I love how Andea on her channel Pine and Prospect has created her galley kitchen. Live in it, figure out the flow and function of each room before making any major design decisions.

It's lovely. Check under the carpet. Sometimes older homes have original hardwood under the carpet.

With the talents and experience that you and your husband have, I'm sure you will transform Lavender Blue into the most charming cottage ever! I'll be watching! Enjoy the process!
What a dream! I cannot wait to see how incredible this will become in your hands!
Seeing your white, bright, marble, lovely home first and then this one is pretty much of a shock together.

I love both homes but your pole barn aesthetics are more my style .
I am swooning! I wouldn’t change hardly anything. It’s beautiful with tons of character. Congratulations on your new home ❤
What a darling home. I can’t wait to see you personalize it to your family’s needs. I look forward to seeing watching your delightful transformation. 😊
Love your poetic reflection on your home. Reminds me of us!
The brick is fabulous and the character is so inspiring.
I love the food storage in the basement. You can have a party making food to store for the winter after you harvest the crop you will so much love to make one day. Your very own vegetable garden in addition to your lavender. Kind of a small homestead.
I'm in love with this home! The master bedroom is small but those closets are great. The brick in the kitchen is gorgeous.

I like the fact that you will be truning the formal dining room into a pantry/ kitchen extension. You can add a beautiful kitchen island for your food prep.
It’s very charming your new home. I’ve bought and sold and rented MANY HOMES…my only input is “less is more”. Enjoy!!! 💜
God bless you and your family in this new home. I can't wait to see how you make it your own!
The brick in the kitchen adds a lot of character. I can’t wait to see what you do to your new older home!
How darling! I love the brick in the kitchen! Can’t wait to see more! I especially think your idea of making that room off the kitchen into a butlers pantry, would be incredible!

It’s simply charming, Cami. I look forward to watching you add your design palette, as you make it your own. Congratulations my friend!
It is lovely. So warm and homey. It looks like a well loved family home. It's very you. I'm sure you will make it even more magical.
I understand the change!! A charming cottage, how could anyone turn away from this place!! Congratulations ❤
The contrast between your "old" pole barn home and this "new" cottage home is so incredible! Both are lovely in their own ways, but I love an old home. I'm hoping someday my family will be able to afford one of our own!

Wow, the atmosphere inside your Cottage House is very cosy, and it's nice to live there. Interesting video, thanks for sharing
So fun to see the style of older homes. Can't wait to see it evolve as you make it your own.❤
So excited for you! Can’t wait to watch the transformation!
Cami, you and your family will enjoy the coziness of the indoors and the beauty of the outdoors. Those doors are the same doors I have here. I do like the wood tones. Congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure it was difficult to leave your other beautiful home!❤
This home speaks to me on so many levels - especially the charm factor which is over the top!!! Each space is just enough - all very cozy and sweet.
Potential, potential, potential! I know you will amaze us with your creativity and make a wonderful home!
I love it. We had the radio in the wall in one of our homes, and it worked. When you turn it on, it takes a minute for the tube to warm up . We also had the same intercoms system. ❤❤❤

Love the lights fixtures with the white milk glass globes---perhaps removing the door to the family room as you enter from foyer and enlarge the opening and case it- this would open it up and be very spacious =====love the house =======😊😊😊
I love your new home and agree there is not a lot to do, some minor adjustments. Ready for this exciting journey with you.
Oh my goodness! This house is darling! So many beautiful fixtures and architectural features that are amazing!
Yes, this home is cozy! Can’t wait until you put your touches on it. A dream come true for you! 😘
Oh so fun to make it your own. I think I would make that room off the kitchen part of the kitchen...as in knock down a wall to incorporate it. So cute and perfect for your family. Have fun!

I hope you find all that you wish for in this new adventure. Taking time to slowly make changes is a breath of fresh air for you, I would imagine. All the hard work of your last home brought you (hopefully) to your forever one. Cozy is my cup of tea. May many blessings come for you and your family.
The house definitely has potential. Downstairs definitely a craft/office room for you and a homeschooling area for the children with a recreational space as well. I'd focus on the outside landscaping areas a little at a time. Couldn't tell if the ceilings are popcorn or not but if they are I'd tackle that as you do each room. Good luck.
Very darling....The cottage would be one that I would choose, as well...May God continue to bless you and your family...
Much good luck on your cozy house! It’s very charming 😊
Love the solid wood doors======very nice
Such a great house! With a little paint and maybe a floor update, she’ll be perfect! Congratulations! I’m so excited to see all you do!
Oh how I would love to have such a charming home.. I am with you Cami... work with it all.. I can see the memories your children will have when they are older.. what a blessing for your family...I have a more modern home but that phase for me is over and I dream of character and charm.. Blessings to you and your family..
I know this “new” home will have your vibe in no time! You’re doing it right, though, by living in it first for a while and getting the feel for the space and how and what you need to change to make it what your family wants and needs. I’m excited for your new journey and will love following along!
So charming, enchanting, and cozy! Can't wait to see how you make it yours! ❤
I love old homes and I see tons of potential in this home. I know you also have reasons besides just the home that you decided to make the move. I’m sure you’re going to make it beautiful and love living there and that’s all that matters but girl, I can’t understand for the life of me how you could actually walk away from that amazing home that your family built together. It was so amazing and that view out the front door was incredible!!! But I’m happy for you even if I don’t understand 😂
What a beautiful home. Cant wait to see you make it your own. Let the Journey begin. 🙏
Oh my word - that’s adorable! It will be fun to see you update it. It’s amazing how a little paint and new flooring and even new hardware for drawers/cabinets make a huge difference! I can see why you fell in love with it. 💜💜
I’m very happy and excited for you and your family for your new adventure!!!! But for me I could never have left your gorgeous pole house !!!!!
Your yellow toilet was called harvest gold. This is during the Avocado green time. There was also a brown called Coppertone.
Also, check your outlets that are controlled by the switches. We have that in our living room. I love it. It only controls the top plug. It makes it simple to walk in & flip on the two lamps beside the sofa. The other plug in the outlet stays hot all the time.
I am so excited to sit back and watch it unfold into your home, sweet home.
Soooo cozy and quaint. I cannot wait to see you put your beautiful touches in your new home. 🏡
Looking forward to seeing how you decorate the house and turn it into your home ❤
Great home--love all the character and excellent storage (what is the pulley/hook on the dining room ceiling?) Really looking forward to see how the home evolves for your family! It's inspiring to see both your family's courage and excitement entering into this new chapter.
The house she built was just beautiful. I love how you eloquently shared your feelings about leaving this home. The lavender blue cottage has so much character and I know you’re going to do a great job making it your own. The wood doors are gorgeous and when I saw the wood accent in the one bedroom, I automatically thought that would be a good one for a boy. I am looking forward to watching your new adventures.❤️
Wow! What a difference from your pole barn home...looking forward to seeing the changes you and your husband make to your new Lavender Blue home! Enjoy!
hey girl- Loved the tour!😀😉 Such a cute cottage. I also really like the brick in the kitchen and the wood doors😁👍 oh so cool! Can't wait to see what y'all come up with ❤
So glad you are looking forward to immediate relief from trauma of building and completing your previous home and land. Whew!
I'm guessing a top priority is getting the work shop set up and then the outdoor work.
Love the cottage
what a beautiful new home. can't wait to see how you guys settle in there.
I love it! I really see the potential. It's so charming and the property is just amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with the place. I love your style and am so excited for your future renovation videos.
Such a darling home with lots of potential to make it your own.
Thank you for sharing and I can see the appeal and charm of this new old home 💗
It will be so fun to see what you do with this cozy home! I know you will make it lovely!
That is going to be so much fun to renovate and make your own.
It does give you an Anne of Green Gables feel.
I'm excited to see your touches on it! Have fun with the journey!
