After purchasing their 1970s Colonial-style home in 2017, the couple thoughtfully transformed each space to reflect their personality and lifestyle. They designed a warm and inviting home filled with character, including an "analog" living room designed for device-free relaxation, a chef-worthy kitchen, custom closet offices and a hotel-inspired primary bathroom.
One of the home's standout features is the stunning butler’s pantry, which not only serves as a hub for entertaining but also as an entrance for Lexi’s mom to access the main home.
In their most recent renovation, the couple added a 1,000-square-foot suite designed specifically for Lexi’s mother. This beautiful addition includes a bright kitchen, a pantry nook, and a "dream craft closet"—used by her and other grandchildren. Living under one roof has brought the family closer together while also reducing shared expenses like groceries and utilities.
Hi Homeworthy, I'm Lexi. And I'm Jordan. And welcome to our multi-generational home in the
Atlanta suburbs. Come on in. You're watching Homeworthy, where we believe every home has a
story. Hey, I'm Jordan. I work at Enterprise Technology. And I'm Lexi Port, and I am a content
creator behind Strolling in the Suburbs. And welcome to our home in the suburbs of Atlanta,
Georgia. So when we were looking to buy, the biggest priority for us was schools, and we fell
in love with this home because it had such good bones. The original homeowners had taken fantastic
care of the house. It just needed to be brought into the 21st century. I will say she had the
vision. It was like a 1970s colonial, a lot of wood paneling, not a lot of light, very original
to the build. So she had the vision. I was skeptical at first, but she brought it to life.
But just knew it was a good home with some good base, and that we could add our personality to it.
And again, it was in an area that we loved with a great school district, an awesome neighborhood.
We decided to turn our single family house into a multi-generational home. Really, the reason behind
that is I grew up with a single mom who I'm very close with to this day. She's very much a part of
our children's lives, our lives. And she was 25 minutes away, which seems close, but it was just
enough that it was a little bit too far for us. Yeah, we would go over there a couple times a
week, but it was a whole day type affair. You know, an hour of driving, there would be traffic, we might
be going over to get a cup of milk or some flour or sugar. And I think there's just, there's so many
benefits to living in a multi-generational setting. Both for our kids, they get to have their
grandparent and another parental figure dynamic in the household. For my mom, it's so much better
for her rather than living alone to have that community that surrounds her. For us, we have
added support in raising our children and then also just like the cost of living in nowadays
had risen so much that instead of having two households that we had to care for separately,
it made more sense to combine all that and put it into one pod. Yep, that's huge. Utilities,
all the basic necessities, groceries, much less food waste when we've got everyone living under
one room. Yeah, and we can go out and have fun more often. That's right. Milton babysitter.
Welcome to the library. In this space, it is free of all devices. So that is probably our favorite
feature of this room. It's focused on musical instruments. We have inherited all these awesome
records from my grandmother and my mom. And we love to use this space to relax, unwind,
digital detox, listen to some classics together and hang out with the family. Yeah,
a lot of cool items from her mom, her grandma, my parents, my grandparents. We got the record
collection from her mom, an old typewriter from my grandparents, chair from her grandma. So we
just kind of collect these things and they all end up here in this kind of old school retro.
Yeah. So we really leaned into like the retro kind of like collectible vibes in this space. So it's
all of the items that we got from family that had something meaningful to us. And then we kind of
incorporated things that we love. So Jordan loves to teach the girls how to play chess. I love a
fireplace. So having this feature in the room was important and accentuating it as well was really
important to me and just making it feel cozy and inviting and warm in here. And a place for the
kids to practice music. Obviously, we don't want a distraction. So TVs and iPads stay out of this
room. They can focus on the task. Books and newspapers only. All right, let's go into the
kitchen. All right, so this is our kitchen and this space was renovated when we first moved into the home.
If you look back at like 1970s Colonials, this had a lot of walls originally, a very small kitchen,
and a sunken family room that we opened up to really allow this space to be the like heartbeat
of the home, as Jordan likes to say. So in here, having the big island was a must. We kind of got
rid of the traditional dining room when we did the initial renovation. So we imagined a space where
the kids can do homework, they eat, we cook. Jordan is chef four. So there's just a lot of happenings
that always go on in this space. All the built-in, the built-in range was big. We went with Bosch
appliances. They've been very, very good through about eight years so far. Again, the baking, we've
got our sourdough hobbies that we kick off in here in the kitchen. And then one thing that we learned
during this renovation, we installed Vedara quartz countertops in here. In other places of the home,
we put in marble, we put in different countertop, and they just did not hold up with having two kids
and red wine and sharpies and markers. So we love the versatility that having this countertop, the
quartz, allows. And then when we did the addition for mom to move in, we went with quartz everywhere
because we realized it was just the most practical for our family. Very easy upkeep. We don't have to
seal it. One thing that we did during the renovation is we wanted to keep the lighting
fixtures cohesive, but also have those be statement pieces. So we love like the Hinkley
pendants that we put in the kitchen. They bring this like warmth and uniqueness to the space.
And then when we renovated in here, which also had to be renovated during the most recent
addition, instead of doing recessed lighting, we decided to go with these walls or smaller
flush mounts, small flush mounts. And I think it just adds such a unique touch to the space.
Rather than having just your traditional recessed lighting, it gives a little bit of character to the
ceiling as well. This is our family room. We did have to update it as well during the recent
renovation, and we added a fireplace. As I said before, I love fire. This is a limestone fire
surround, which the person we actually sourced all of our tile from, he had this lying around.
Someone didn't want it anymore, and I was like, give it to me. I'll take it. Sold. We'll make it work.
And I'm so happy we were able to fit it in and get this taken care of. It turned out gorgeous.
We have a ton of storage, which is important when having kids. I won't open this because then you'll
see what our house looks like most of the time. But all of the kids' toys, everything, you know,
to have fun, arts and crafts, all of that, we get to tuck away and have it look neat. That's right.
To stay tidy, we need places to hide our stuff. So yeah, furniture, obviously, you know, you do
these things in the renovation, but then the earrings on it, obviously, is going to be the
furniture. This was kind of our nod to modern, these chairs, super cozy. The kids think that
they're a jungle gym. We often tell them to stay off them. They swivel, so they'll get in these
chairs and like do circles. But they are from Lulu in Georgia, and they have been extremely durable.
And as you can see, it's been several years, and the kids have tackled them, and they've held up
great. I just love the like warmth and richness that it brings to the space in here. I would say
also with velvet, you know, people think of it as this kind of delicate, but it's really
cleans very well compared to other things that we've got in the house. So even when the kids do
bring their food over here, against our peanut butter, you just wipe it off. Quick clean. So
also in this space, we got this couch from Six Penny recently. It was, when I told him I wanted
a light cream linen sofa, he looked at me like I had three eyes. But it has held up fantastic. It
is a slip cover, which to me, my thought was like, okay, even with kids and dogs, worst case,
we can always take it to get dry cleaned. You strip it down. You know, after several years of
use, if we need to get a new slip cover set, then we can do that. And I just love, I feel like this
is like the traditional and then the modern mixed together. It kind of brings in exactly that
aesthetic that we are going for in this space. Yeah, and very comfortable. I mean, our youngest,
she spends most of her waking time here on this couch. This is her area of the house. So we're
fighting her and the dogs for it most of the time. But it's been, it's been a great addition.
I think we've washed the cover at least a half dozen times and it comes out great every time.
We did go with like the frame TV in here being so open to the kitchen. And when you walk in,
it's like one of the first things you see in the home. We wanted this back wall to be beautiful,
even though we wanted a television in here to be practical. So having that where it's able to look
like art is such, I think like such an important decision that we made in this space. And then
originally when we were decorating, I had envisioned two large mirrors going into each of
these openings. We actually put up some big mirrors that we had just to like, see what it felt like
with having mirrors in this space. And we realized that whenever our kitchen was a clutter mess,
that all it did was reflect and show that when you walked in. So we realized quickly.
It reminded me of having rear view mirrors on your car and I would be sitting at the island,
but I could see behind me, it was a little off-putting. So we settled for some kind of
abstract art, something low-key. Neutral. It's just enough of an accent to be pretty
and noticeable, but not like overwhelming to the space. Okay. So now we'll step on over to
our eating space. This room has kind of evolved over time. It actually started with a really large
rectangular farmhouse table that we recently decided just wasn't fitting the flow of the space.
So we switched over to this James and James round table that is just. It's been phenomenal.
Gorgeous. I love this thing. And just super sturdy. The kids will literally like jump up and
down and it's got very little wobble. This is my favorite place in the house to read my newspaper.
So I bounced between here and the library area, but coffee, newspaper, or a book. The kids will
do their homework and sit around here. Legos often find their way onto the table on the weekends,
our project. Well, and when we were first renovating, one of the things that I'm so happy
I stuck with, we originally were thinking about just putting a piece of furniture on this wall.
And I felt like the space is such a transitional point. It's where you get access to our deck into
the main living room, into the butler's pantry, which we'll show you in a moment that I didn't
want a big piece of furniture kind of taking up that walking space. So we have these custom,
they're six inch cabinets built and they're perfect for just like some Mason jars with
grains or our coffee cups. They're practical, but it's not intrusive to making the room still flow
well. Yeah. And we wanted a big statement piece. We went with a chandelier from Hinkley Lighting.
Love this thing. Love it or hate it. I love it. I think it's one of the coolest things in the house.
So it really pops again with the velvet. It holds up so well. We have messes and they clean up very
easily. So happy with that choice. These were from West Elm. All right. I'm going to show you
our favorite room in the house. My favorite room. Apparently we have an eight and six year old
daughter. And with that comes a lot of families with kids and you know, a lot of them. So
typically we'll have our friends over and the kids are all bouncing on the trampoline in the backyard
and we're relaxing in the living room. Usually like having a drink or a cocktail and watching
some sort of sporting event, whether it's F1 or Tour de France or football. I mean, separate spaces
are huge. So having somewhere that the kids enjoy, having places that the adults enjoy,
where we can still keep an eye on them. So that's been a big, a big year. Yeah. And then,
you know, there's my mom's favorite holiday to host is 4th of July. So usually like she'll have
all her girlfriends over, they'll do a big cookout and we're hanging out with the kids,
entertaining them as well. Cause they're like family to us also. So. Great. So welcome to
our butler's pantry. This is our transitional space from what we consider our house into Nana's
house. And it is probably my favorite room in this home. Your favorite. And anyone who comes
over here, this is generally the favorite space. Yes. I always love like seeing when our guests
come into our home and they turn the corner and see this space, their reaction is always like
breath there, you know, their breath is taken away. And I think that a lot of that is because
it is so dramatic and everything that you look at in this space is a statement piece on its own.
And somehow it seamlessly works together. So starting with the floors, I knew I wanted the
checkerboard. Yeah, these are, these are big from the earliest design phase. I liked having the
larger tile size. So these are 16 by 16 and I didn't want the traditional black and white. So
we were able to find these gorgeous burgundy and blush tiles that work so well together.
And then our thought for kind of tying it in was incorporating these fabulous timber colored
cabinetry. And they are extremely practical and we love like all of the cabinets have amazing
pullouts that make it easy to get in and out of the cabinets or organization systems that
make it easy to use. One of my favorite hidden features in here is the lift up
KitchenAid mixer rack. And really this was our place to store items that both my mom would need
access to, we would need access to, but it wasn't stuff we use daily, right? We were working with
our contractor. I think she went with 10 foot ceilings in this room just so she could put a
ladder in here. I did. But again, the ladder's cool. And I actually use it sometimes, even
though I'm pretty tall, we do have some things, some slow cookers and other pots and pans up there.
Yes. This was my favorite feature, which was a must. And every now and then I'll climb in here
and I'll say, you have to push me dear. Yes. And for me now, I no longer, I no longer have to go
get the things in hard to reach places. Exactly. But truly it's just such a fun,
pretty feature. We, our builder, which was Frymore Construction, they did a phenomenal job because
acting as our own designers for our home, I had all of these ideas and I showed them everything
and they truly made like the vision come to life. And then other fun features we have going on is
we kind of turn this space into a bar area for when we're hosting. So we incorporated a nugget
ice maker, the wine fridge, you have pull out drawer refrigerators, which are so fun. The kids
have one, we have one and kind of made this space like somewhere you can come and hang out. There's
quick access to the living room and the dining space and Nana's space. So we love that this is
the bridge to the whole house. Yeah. There's a lot of flow through traffic here that happens
throughout the day, whether you're grabbing your coffee in the morning, getting the kids'
lunches ready. We spend way more time in this room than I expected from the get-go. So, you know,
you would think it was a pantry, but it's another space that we spend quite a bit of time. So
another thing that we wanted when you come in from Nana's house was to have something like
beautiful statement piece that you can look at. And so we really loved running the courts all the
way up as the backsplash. And we picked this really dramatic section, which is beautiful
and complimented it with the gold sink and faucet. And I just love how when you enter from her home,
it's this like pretty surprise. All right. Should we show Nana's house? Let's check out Nana. Yeah.
So when we were planning to build the addition, the biggest priority for my mom and us was
maintaining that independence. We love to host friends and we have a lot of kids and families
over all the time. And we didn't want that to be something that imposed on my mom's everyday life
and vice versa. She didn't want to feel like she was a burden or she was coming into our home and
not allowing us to live our lives the way we wanted to. So making sure she had all of the
amenities, like her own access point, her own kitchen, her own laundry room. It's a fully
functioning separate living space, but attached to our existing home. And I would say on the
technical front, you know, first thing we had to figure out what we could actually do with
permitting. So we went out and we got surveys of the land. We got architectural drawings.
And once we realized kind of what the parameters were and where we could build and where we
couldn't, that really helped us kind of come up with the end state. Yeah, that gave us the starting
point. And then we were able to basically create as much as we could within the space that we were
able to create with it. And for us, that ended up being a thousand square foot addition, which I
think is perfect for her. It's got one full bedroom, one full bath, a laundry room, even a
little space for the kids because that was a... She wanted a deadbolt lock in between the two
areas. The fire marshal said no. So it's good for us because on Saturday mornings, we just send the
kids over there at six or seven in the morning. So welcome to Nana's house. This is all new square
footage that was added last year. So we added this thousand square foot addition for her to live
independently and comfortably, but also right next to us. So we gave her a nice large stove
for her to cook meals for the whole family. So we love this. She is also a big cook. Jordan
likes to cook, but so does she. So it's nice. We can like take days, they can switch off. And then
Again with the courts, just so durable in the kitchen. We've had tile backsplashes in the past,
and sometimes the grout can get a little grimy. So this is super nice for just a quick wipe down
after you cook. Yeah, I love the cabinet color. So we did really want this space to be light and
airy. Something that you'll notice is we incorporated skylights in here so that since
she's situated in the back of the house, which typically the sun moves through the front of our
We wanted to make sure that she didn't feel like she was living in a dungeon. And I think the high
ceilings and the skylights and the space are just what make it feel so much larger than it really
is. So she's got everything she needs cabinet wise, kitchen wise. We have a cute little pantry
over here that has like her drawer microwave, a coffee maker, that sourdough starter that Jordan
talked about. So this is kind of like her little pantry where she can keep some of the items that
she uses every day. And I liked not having a door in this space, it feels like it's a part of the
kitchen. But you know, if she's hosting, she can put some drinks, some some hors d'oeuvres out in
here. And it's still like this little functional storage space. And one thing that's so important
with multi generational living is having multi use spaces that consist of a lot of organization.
So cabinetry is really important. Because, you know, just because this is her kitchen, hidden
in these cabinets might be other items like she knew, you know, part of this project was she had
her own home. And this was a bit of a downsize on the square footage. So we needed space to put all
her you know, you see right here, this is her arts and crafts station. That's a thing that the kids
love. They spend a lot of time with her quick little sneak peek, but she is an epic crafter.
So she has this dream closet. And it's neatly organizes all of her crazy crafting items,
which the kids think is their jackpot. All the glitter and sequins that you could count.
And then she has her own full laundry room with a sink. She, you know, like I said,
she can live independently, and not feel like she has to intrude on our space at all. The kids
requested because they used to love having sleepovers at Nana's so much. And we felt like
it was important to still have a space where they could go and spend the night at grandma's
in case we wanted to have an adult party or, you know, just not have the kids for an evening.
So we call this room the snug and it's this like little hangout for the girls at grandma's house
where they can sleep over, relax, watch TV, play games. I would say full disclosure, I have
snuck in here for a nap more than one time. It's his nap spot. If I'm ever looking for him,
usually he's hiding in there. I've also used it whenever I'm sick. I'm like, I'm just gonna go
hide and sleep in the snug myself. Alright, so this is her family room. She really wanted a
fire fixture as well. Clearly that runs in my family. We love fire. So we actually decided since
we didn't want to run a gas line all the way out here, we did this cool electric built-in instead.
It does actually have a heater so it puts out heat. You can change the colors and it just makes
it feel like a little more built-in with the television. She runs it all the time. You know,
I was a little against an electric fireplace when we were first thinking about it. I kind of like
the old-school charm of a fireplace. I love it and she's got it on every day. It can change colors.
And in true aging woman style, she's got her fan in the corner, the fireplace here because you
never know what the temperature fluctuations might be like. Alright, let's come check out Nana's
bedroom and bathroom area. I would say the big thing is having separate kitchens. You know, that's
where you spend a ton of your time. So if she doesn't want to see us on the weekend, you know,
she'll stay over in her area, watch the shows she wants to watch. She doesn't have to watch the
cartoons that our kids are watching. But just having those in-house amenities, you know, your
own kitchen, your own bathroom, limiting the stairs because it's a lot different than just, say,
moving your parents into a basement or moving them to a spare room upstairs because then you're all
still sharing those original spaces. So giving her something that was her own. And then, you know,
as Jordan always says, it takes like a special dynamic and I think that we have a very like open
relationship with my mom. He's comfortable with her just as much as I'm comfortable having a
conversation. And so I think from that standpoint, it's important to have that openness where we all
feel like we can communicate to one another and there's no like different power dynamic or anything
in that sense. Everyone needs to be equal if you're going to go about it. Alright, so this is Nana's bedroom
and this is kind of her oasis. We loved this color and the dramatic color drenching effect that we
decided to go with. It is a Farrow & Ball Denims color and I feel like it was just such a good
contradiction to the bright and airy family room for her to have this like deeper, more moody tone
in here. Yeah, and throughout the new addition that is Nana's space, you know, it's only a thousand
square feet but we went with the really elevated ceilings and that just gives it a bigger feel.
Yeah, so you don't feel like, even though this is a smaller room, you don't feel like it's that small
because you have all of this headroom. So just having this be kind of like her own little intimate
sanctuary was important. I think the color is like really brought that feeling home and then
incorporating, like we said, natural light wherever possible. So we put this transom window above her
bed to bring in more natural light. Her big windows that look out to the backyard. And then
I would say something that we worked on for cohesity between our house and this one was
carrying through like the same shaker style doors, the same molding on windows that we use throughout
our house. With the flooring, we use the same oak flooring and the same stain pattern throughout the
house. So we really wanted it to feel like one, you know, one cohesive body. All right, let's show you
her bathroom. All right, so this is Nana's bathroom and what I feel like we went back and forth on tile
when thinking about this space. Well, one of the big things we wanted to carry elements from our
area into her area. So, you know, these are 12 by 24 tiles on the floor, but this is the same
as one of the tiles we used in the checkerboard of our butler's pantry. Yes, so you'll see kind
of that common theme throughout, like any way that we were able to tie in one space to some
other space in our home. We did that, whether it was wall color, whether it was the tile. We just
wanted to make it feel like even though it's these two homes, it's still one unit together. Some
sacrifices you have to make because it is a smaller space. She wanted a big soaking tub,
but we realized when she had just recently retired and it probably wasn't the most practical thing,
so we went with this walk-in shower, which she she's loved. Yes, so she has her one vanity,
which is perfect for her and allows her to have more storage, a bright mirror where she can see
and, you know, do anything she needs to do makeup wise. The heated floors was a must for her. That
was an added bonus, but having these heated since it is on a crawl space over here was important to
her. And then we decided to go with the vertical tile in her shower on the wall just to kind of
continue that upward eyesight, really bringing your eyes up, drawing you higher to make this
space feel more open than it is. Also, like the doorways are 36 inch, which was important. We
didn't necessarily make the home ADA, but we definitely were like looking at those guidelines
for long-term usage of this space. So now that we've shown you Nana's oasis, let's head upstairs
and we'll show you our primary suite. So I describe our home as like cozy, modern, traditional. So
seeing as we bought a house that was already built, we wanted to stay true to its character,
which is definitely that traditional colonial style. But at the same time, we have kids,
we have dogs, there's lots of chaos. So I love like modern furniture just because it keeps things
looking clean and organized. So combining those two with a touch of like cozy elements, warm earth
tones has always been our go-to. We're good at making decisions. So in this era, there's a million
things you can pick for anything from drapes to floor colors or paint. So we're pretty good about
settling on something and going with it and then not regretting it in the future. That's a big
element of the decision process. One of us will be like, I'm looking at these two items and then
the other one will just come in and make a decision and that's what we're going with.
All right, so this is our new primary bedroom. As we've told you guys,
original colonials built in the 1970s came with very small primary suites. And one thing that
was important for us during this project was making sure that the whole home retained its
value with adding on this new square footage. So with that, we felt like the primary suite
needed a little bit of a facelift and an expansion. So we actually added all of this square footage
new and we built this on top of what was our existing butler's pantry and family room area.
So we were able to create a very large open primary bedroom. Yeah, this one was kind of
French inspired. Also with the bathroom, we'll show you in a moment. But things like the wainscoting
details like that to give it that traditional feel and also a little bit of that French feel.
And then I loved like we ended up going with this color, which it is Farrow and Ball light blue.
I call it like a chameleon color, because sometimes of the day it looks like this soft
minty green. Other times it looks light blue. There's moments where you get gray,
but it's also like a beautiful color when you complement it with the copper and the rust tones.
It does so well with that warm, but I love to like color drenching this room with that color
because I felt like it just worked with everything we were going to incorporate into the space.
Very dynamic, lots of personality. Other thing, because this is where we're spending a lot of our
time, the creature comforts like blackout curtains, noise, white noise machines,
comfortable bedding. This is, we are a bowl and branch lovers. So we have like recently,
recently decided that like we're gonna invest in our bedding because this is where we spend
most of our time. Now the problem is it's so comfortable that all the dogs and all the
children end up in our bed most nights. So it is what it is. So next I'm going to show you what's
like my crown jewel of this space. And that is our primary bathroom. The inspiration behind this was
from all of our years of luxury family travel that we do with strolling in the suburbs, creating
a luxurious bathroom situation. And I think we, the patterns, the fixtures. So we took some
inspiration and we think we've done it as well as some of our favorite brands.
Okay, so some of my favorite elements in this space is definitely includes the clawfoot tub.
We also decided to go with heated floors in here since it is such a large tiled space. And so we
pulled these limestone tiles, which again reflect back to the family room fireplace. So we were able
to incorporate that into places. And then all of the marble that you see on the wall is from the
only U.S. quarry, which is in Colorado. So we were able to get this tile from a distributor located
in the United States. And I feel like this wall with the windows and the tub was like my dream
Disney princess moment. Definitely another dramatic element. But the floors, like she said,
they're so soft underfoot, the heated floors, sometimes stone floors can be kind of cold in the
winter. That has not been an issue. Because we went with this very light marble and light floor, we
felt like we needed some warmth again in this space, which is why we ended up going with the
darker Fabu wood cabinets. They also had this beautiful bead board, which was in the matching
color of the cabinetry. And I felt like that kind of grounded the space and tied in some of that
warmth and richness that we were looking for. A bit of a controversial topic, we realized I
actually decided when designing this space, instead of a mirror in front of my vanity, to do a big
window. And then I just put this cute little mirror on the side. Every morning when I wake up and I'm
like washing my face and getting ready for the day, you know, I'd much rather look at the beautiful
like scenery outside than than what I look like in the mirror anyways. So that was kind of like a
unique and bold decision making process that I went with. The pictures behind us are from some of
our travels. The one on the left is from a trip where we were at Four Seasons Anguilla, which
honestly was a lot of the inspiration for this room. And then this one on the right was at the
beach in St. Simons. And since travel is such a big part of our lives, we love to incorporate, you
know, our family photos that we've taken on our trips to be able to like reflect back and look at
some of those great memories that we've had together. Again, big walk-in shower. Some of these houses that
were built in the 70s, they had kind of a built-in tub, a little slipper, a little tight. We knew that
we liked a big area. I think our, the original primary bathroom in this house had carpet, right?
It was a built-in tub with carpet. So long ago. Yeah, but this is great, especially when we're
just trying to quickly rinse the kids, you know, she can go in there with them, kind of shower them
down without having to get herself wet. And again, the zero entry is nice. We knew that we wanted to
carry the herringbone all the way from the the main bathroom into the shower, which has worked
very well. Yeah, so all Kohler fixtures in here. This is the birthday bathtub from Kohler. So it
was like an anniversary piece that they had. And one thing you might have noticed is that there
isn't a closet in this space. So something we did, knowing we were going to be in this home for a
long time, was instead of creating the closet inside the bathroom or primary room, we have two
spaces that were previously our primary suite. So we'll show you those and you might notice a unique
fixture once we get in there. All right, so this is her closet, my closet. And really what we wanted
in here was just maximum storage, not only for like all of my clothing, but also like there's a
little closet area that contains all of our stuff we use for content creation. And then also an area,
we have a little desk we incorporated in here, because this is where I can kind of like get
peace and quiet from the kids if they're around, get some work done. And then I use this space for
like folding laundry, putting all of our clothes away when we're packing for travels. I'll lay out
our suitcases and like get everything organized. Yeah, this was great. When we did the closets, we
worked with a company called Souder Closet and they really thought that the island, I'd never
thought of an island in a closet, but like she said, it's been wonderful as a multi-use space.
Sometimes she's got her coffee in here, sometimes she's got her laptop in here. And they have amazing
accessories that you can implement into the closet. So all of this was like customizable and
they have these gorgeous like glass front jewelry pull-outs that we can like organize all of my
belongings. The girls think it's their dress-up closet. And then a pant pull-out that makes it
really easy to find everything I'm looking for. If I'm getting ready for the day, I can hang up my
outfit here. So just some really cool features throughout the entire closet that make it
practical, keep things organized, and make it able to use for more than just storing clothing.
And I would argue that she's got too many shoes, but once you see my shoe collection,
you'll realize I probably have just as many. All right, let's show you his closet.
All right, so this is my closet. This is another multi-use space, so I actually do most of my work
when I'm working from home in this room. Again, we work with Souder Closets. They had some really
innovative things that I'd never had in a closet before. As she mentioned, we've got various pull-outs.
Same with the pants, we can pull those out. So a lot of little things, all my little keepsakes and
chopskies, my watches. Yeah, I know. Too many hats. I put a big emphasis on shoes and boots, as you can see,
more so than clothes. Yeah, and so they actually make a really cool desk system. So the same finish
that is his closet, you were able to get a desk in that finish as well. And so that, we call it our
clothices, and that is the closet-office combination. So he works from here. He's got a lot
of natural light. Since he is on Zoom calls, we decided to put like the closed cabinet behind him,
so when the doors are closed and the cabinets are shut, you can't even tell that he's in
a closet. And then also in here, we wanted to incorporate kind of like a countertop where he
can like have all of his items. He's got these gorgeous pull-outs as well for like sweaters and
everyday things. And then this... There is a giant mirror, which of course I do love a giant mirror,
but this was in our original primary, and it was just so nice and intact. We didn't want to waste
it, so we found a place to put it in the new building. Yeah, so this was from the first renovation in the
primary bathroom with these exact sconces. And when we renovated this space the last time,
they took it down and it stayed in one piece. And we were like, we're going to use this mirror.
That's great. So we actually decided to kind of do this like countertop with a mirror above. It's
like a dressing area. I would say with the paint, it was another. We went with the color drenching.
I think this was Benjamin Moore antique pewter was the color. It is. Something a little more
masculine since it was going to be my office. And like she mentioned, I'm on video calls
like a bit of the day. Home for me is just a place that we can always be together. It's safe.
It's comfortable. I love to snuggle, whether it's with my girls, my dogs, my husband, my mom.
So just feeling that safety and comfort and love is what home means to me. I mean, it's the place
I want to be. You know, we, we love to travel and go to wonderful places, but at the end of the day,
this is where I want to be. These are the people I want to be with. Love my home. It's my favorite
place on the planet. We've loved having you over Homeworthy. We've got to go grab the kids. So
