A Joyful Jacksonville Home Designed for Family Life l House Tour

Homeworthy, what's up? I'm Andrew Howard. I'm an interior designer from Jacksonville, Florida, and I want to show you my house today. Come check it out. You're watching Homeworthy, where we believe every home has a story. Hi, my name's Andrew Howard. I'm an interior designer. Welcome to Jacksonville, Florida, and welcome to our home. This was a new build, and so every room kind of came together on its own. I didn't really have a specific starting point. This room we started with, obviously the wall fabric was kind of the main thing, and it kind of grew from there, but I wanted every room in this house to feel like, or kids at least, to feel like they could play and be able to sit on anything. When I was a kid, we weren't allowed to eat in certain rooms of our house, and I wanted this house to be a room that you could eat in every room, because there's outdoor fabric on pretty much everything, and I'm saying that as I'm sitting in the fanciest room in the house, so this is the only room kids can't come in, but the rest of the house is wide open, and you know, for me, my main goal on every house is just when I come home from work to see a lot of bikes in the driveway, and we definitely had that for a while now. One of our kids is driving, so sometimes it's cars in the driveway now, but it's been a lot of fun to have our kids grow up here and get to hang out with them and their friends. Hey guys, welcome to the living room. One of the funny things about this room, and it was actually happened recently, I posted a picture of this online, and someone mentioned in the comments, I think they were kind of trying to insult me. They said, you're really good at making rooms look like they're from the 90s, and for me, I wanted this house to feel like a house I grew up in. That was the ultimate compliment, and so this room is the start of a bunch of rooms that feel like the 90s. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably remember them. This fabric on the walls was kind of the last decision I made for the house. I initially had a different idea for this room before I decided to put the fabric on the walls. It was a completely different concept, and then a rep brought this fabric in one day, and I said, game over. This is what we have to do in this room, and that's kind of where the pieces and colors started to evolve from. The only color that's not in this fabric is blue, and I love blue, so I painted everything else blue. Most of the pieces here are pretty unique. This was a chair that I saw at an antique store and didn't buy, but had remade to look similar to it. Same with this sofa. This coffee table was from the 70s. We got it in Palm Beach, and both these chairs came from a thrift store in Palm Beach. I wanted a lot of texture in this room, so one of the things I did with the lamps was kind of add some wicker to the room. There's a lot of bamboo feeling things, so I thought that this contrast was really nice, but this room just explodes with color. It's a fun room to sit in. It's a fun room to hang out in, and I think sometimes if I had pitched this idea to a client, they would have said, there's no way I'm doing this. This room's way too busy, and a lot of rooms in this house are maybe rooms that I did pitch to a client that they might not have wanted to do, but I knew would be good, and this is kind of one of those that feel that way. There's a lot of good books in this room. By the way, Andrew Howard's Comforts of Home is sitting right on top of the stack. One thing about this chair that I love, I've never used a tennis ball color, and I knew that it would go with the curtains, and so I did a tennis ball feeling chair. Probably won't ever do one again, but it was fun to do one, and it feels really at home in this room. I'm really big on ceilings. I don't like a big drywall ceiling, and so I try to add architecture to the ceiling to sort of make them feel a little more interesting. When a room feels really interesting on all four walls, and you forget the ceiling, it kind of feels a little bare, so we did this kind of honeycomb pattern that I actually copied from my last house in this ceiling. Yeah, the lantern is from my friends at Urban Electric, and I always, you know, again, love painting a light red. It's kind of the last thing you'd ever think of, but it really works well in this room. I didn't want to revisit blue on the light, and so I did this red color, and then it just felt a natural progression to go from red on the light to red on the mirror. They kind of really work well together. I, at one point, thought about doing them different, and then I just figured they work much better together in tandem. This is the one room in the house that kids don't really hang out in that much. Typically, I'm sitting there. My wife Katie's sitting there, and we have wine in here, and we're talking about life. We're talking about our day. We're talking about things we did. We're talking about things the kids did. We're just kind of talking about, you know, what's going on, keeping in touch with each other. We think that's really important, so that's what goes on in this room. And now, if you follow me, we'll head over to the dining room. Welcome to my dining room, which is also the only room in the house that we rarely ever use. It's used so rarely that my son asked me the other day if he could turn it into his gym so he could work out in here. We have a mural on the wall based on a trip we took to Nantucket as a family, and I added in a bunch of things that we saw while we were there. So, for instance, we saw that boat. I had my kids here playing on the beach two different times. This is the one who thinks his butt looks big right here. He's complained about that a couple times. This guy's strange. I don't know what he's doing, but this was sort of called the dune walk in Nantucket, and so we started walking, you know, all the way around. At probably this point here, I was so hot that I was not saying nice things to everybody, but it was like the hottest day Nantucket's ever had. But we do remember the walk. We do remember how sweaty we were, and we do remember chugging probably a gallon of water after. It was a great day regardless. This boat was fun to see. We saw it on a little fishing trip. These chairs are from Hickory Chair. I love them because you can cover the front with leather or faux leather. I think they call it vegan leather. Vegan leather, and then do something different on the back. The back of these chairs were a pattern I found on an old American quilt, and I just felt it really fit in nicely with the room to have something special on the back. They were hand embroidered by Penn and Fletcher in New York. These are chairs that are okay to spill on, which is what I love about them. The dining table strangely came from eBay. That's a really hot spot that I know a lot of designers are shopping these days, but I found this table on eBay, and it got delivered at like 10 o'clock at night one night by a guy we didn't even know, but we got it. The mirror I really struggled with. It's the last thing I got for this room, and I think that I wanted this mirror to feel a little bit like something that we had brought back from Nantucket, and so it really finishes the space. The sideboard I bought on Cherish, so I've got the eBay table and the Cherish sideboard right next to it. It works well in here. I'm not typically a big dark furniture person, but kind of this all-American room, Nantucket feel, it felt really at home in here, and then I love this little pop of color that these add, and I'm not really one to say pop of color, but this color is really nice with the mural, and it's a color that we didn't have in here already, so I really like having these here. When I said earlier I'm not a big fan of a bunch of dark pieces of furniture together, I knew the chandelier needed to be light, and so I got a painted chandelier. It kind of has a Swedish-y feel, kind of gets away from that all-American feel, but I think it was a was a whimsical piece that really added a lot to the space. We eat in this room typically every Easter, and then if we have a dinner party, we typically will set food out here. We do a lot of buffet style dinner parties, so you know we've had buffet lines here with a tablecloth, and we've had very nice formal dinners here as well, so this room can kind of double as anything you need it to as long as food's involved, everyone's typically happy in here. I ruined a lot of rugs as a kid, and one of the things I wanted to do in this foyer is have tiles so the kids can not have to take their shoes off, and they can come in with dirty feet, and this floor is bulletproof, so it kind of takes the place of a rug so that people aren't wiping their feet on it as you come in. This room for me was kind of a room that my wife and I could hang out in at night and talk. We have this thing called captain's hour that a friend of mine invented. I don't even know how it is. It's captain's hour, and no one's allowed, so this was kind of designed to be the only non-kid friendly room in the house, and my wife and I hang out. I actually sit here, and she sits there, and we talk at night for like 30 minutes or so, so that's what this room is for. It's also, I wanted you to have a happy space as you come and get greeted in the house. My parents are both interior designers, and so kind of growing up around that, it just becomes kind of second nature that you know you possibly could go into the family business. I never again thought I would, but when both your parents are interior designers, you got to at least check it out for a little bit. When I graduated college, I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and so I talked to my dad, and I said, hey, you know, maybe it would be great if I came and worked with you guys, and he said rightly so that I wasn't bringing a lot to the table. I had a business degree from Florida, and I was like, well, you know, it's a family business, and we ended up working together early on. I kind of assisted him, and I started to really like interior design. I never really was into it, like I said, as a kid, but it started to become fun, and I started to understand a little bit more, and 23 years later, here we are. So this is kind of the culmination of all of that, and maybe this house says that maybe I am a little bit more prepared now than I was back when I first interviewed. Okay, now let's head over to the foyer. One thing about having kids is that they drag their hands on everything, and I wanted a staircase to have a lot of art, but that wasn't going to work with the way our kids live, so when they walk around this room like this, they can sort of touch anything they want on the stairs, and it's not going to mess it up, but yet it also feels like it's full of art. Each individual painting is unique, and they're done in the Bessler style, just in blue and white, which I thought was a great color combo for this foyer. The walls in this foyer that aren't paneled have vinyl grass cloth on them, just so we can withstand those dirty hands. They're all over the place, and a lot of times because we're near the kitchen, chocolatey hands come in here too, and they're no match for this wallpaper. I don't normally do curtains in hallways, but this afternoon light is so harsh that we had to do them in here. I think they're a great pattern from my friend Alex Conroy, who's a fabric maker, and she does a great job. We really love this fabric for here, and I think it finishes the space off. I also think any space is finished off by curtains, and they're just such a great way to end a room. One thing I love about this handrail is we painted it a high gloss so that, again, it's very wipeable. Typically, if you weren't here today and I hadn't cleaned up, there might be some black marks on this from dirty football practice hands, but you're not seeing that today. Another piece I love in here is this little chest. It gives this room to store blankets and just other things that are overflow items. I also got this in Palm Beach on a buying trip there, and I just love how it feels in this room. The wicker is such nice warm feeling with everything else. Okay, follow me to the kitchen. One thing I love about this room is we have this big banquette. This area in particular is my younger son's slip and slide. He loves sliding from here to there. I've done it once or twice. I'm not going to do it for this camera roll, but it's a great big table. A lot of kids can pile up on it, and we actually vinylized this fabric so that it's easily wipeable, and it makes that vinyl-y noise when you go like that. But anything can spill on here from pizza to grease or whatever, and it's easily wiped up. We recovered these chairs that I got from Anthropologie in faux leather or vegan leather, and again, they make it very easy to clean up spills and messes. One thing I wanted this breakfast room to feel like was maybe a breakfast room that I grew up eating breakfast in, back to that 90s theme. Anyway, the wallpaper is gingham, and it's done on scuff-free wallpaper. I had it hand-painted by a friend of mine that makes wallpaper. He did a wonderful job, and it just kind of has a vibrant feel. This room feels really alive, and it's really fun to sit in here and eat. I think we love this room so much, which is probably why we don't eat in the dining room so much. Everyone just loves hanging out in here. The light's great. It's a huge table, and we just all feel great piling up in here together. The overall theme of this room was red, white, and blue, and so we had a lot of blue, and we had a lot of red, and I figured the light fixture could be fun to just do it kind of a creamy white and have it be something that didn't really need to take center stage in the space, but really complement it really well. I couldn't find the exact fabric that I wanted for these Roman shades, so we ended up making one, and this wavy pattern kind of reminded me of the beach, kind of reminded me of the early 90s growing up as a kid at the beach, and I really loved it for this space. All right, so this is the kitchen, and one crazy thing about this kitchen is I resisted big islands my entire career. I hated them, never wanted them, but this kitchen was so big it had to have one, and once you get one, you never want a small one again. We love sitting around here with friends or with family, and this L shape actually is really nice, so you don't have that lunch counter conversation kind of thing going on. This kitchen only has one window, so it doesn't get a lot of natural light. That's why I chose a lot of reflective surfaces. Both the backsplash reflects light back into the room, and the ceiling is a lacquered paint that reflects light down into the room from the one window that we have. The pattern of the backslash reminded me of a sweater I might have worn back in the 90s. Again, that 90s theme is prevalent throughout here. It's a harlequin pattern, and I think it looks really great with the blue and white in the breakfast room. It reflects the color really well. If I'm being honest, we don't keep our inside of our kitchen cabinets super neat, and so one thing I like to do is add mirror so you can't see what's in there, and you can kind of reflect light back in the room, but we can kind of hide our messes behind it. One thing I think we forget as designers all the time is the backs of islands. They tend to be covered by barstools and not look all that great. I wanted to do something here that was sort of memorable and something that made this back feel a little bit special. I put a lattice pattern on there, which I think is great, and it's also okay to kick and mess with when the kids are sitting here. I went blue on the island because I felt white felt a little flat with all of our white cabinets. I wanted to bring it to life a little more, and the blue color with the white stools did that. The countertop in this kitchen is a silestone, and I love silestone because you could eat dinner on this counter without any plate at all, and I could clean it up no problem. Also, I spill a lot of red wine, no problem on these countertops. The hood has a star pattern, and I'm not really sure why I did that. I just thought it looked really cool, and so we decided to do it, and the light fixtures in this room are from my friends at Urban Electric. I love the warm glow they put off at night, and they're great to just have on just the fixtures only at night when it's just us in here. The light's really nice and soft, and I also love the lavender glow the glass has. It's really nice at night. I'm not the best cook, but I am really good at making dips, and so I make my world-famous guacamole right here and my world-famous onion dip right back there. Those are really the only two things I really make in this kitchen, if I'm being completely honest. My design style is sort of a never-satisfied style. I think rooms are never finished. I think they're always evolving, and I kind of try to take on the personality of the house and the client when I'm doing their house, so while I loved color for this house, if I did another house, I'm not sure that I'd do it the same way just because I always like experimenting with different things, and I also think that when you work for a client that has a specific taste or style or may want more or less color, you sort of have to evolve to fit them rather than inflicting your personal style on them. I'm sort of an evolving guy, I guess, and I don't really want to get stuck in one lane of one personal style. I like to kind of do a little bit of everything. An ideal day for me at the moment is hanging out with my kids because they are at an age where they kind of don't really want to hang out with me as much as they used to, so doing whatever we do, you know, whether it is golfing. We do love to golf together. I'm quickly becoming the worst golfer in the family, but we like to hang out together and just do fun things. That's an ideal day. An ideal day also is maybe going somewhere with my wife out of town and going to, we love going to Palm Beach or going to, you know, somewhere that's a quick little drive from where we are, so we love to travel as well. This room has a really crazy story. I was up late one night around Christmas, maybe five years ago, watching Home Alone, and I love the wallpaper in Buzz's room, and so I called my friend up who makes wallpaper, Stephen Floyd, and we recreated the wallpaper in Buzz's room for this room in a little different colors. These sofas we did in outdoor fabric, which actually worked great for two reasons. One, they don't fade from the windows and they stay the same color forever, and the second reason, which is why I'm really glad we did it, was the first day we owned these, my wife was coming over here to eat a bowl of chili, which I told her she could because it's outdoor, and she spilled the entire bowl of chili on this one cushion right there, and there is no chili on there anymore, so the outdoor fabric, thank you Alex Conroy, worked. Once I did the stripes on the walls, it was kind of hard to balance a fabric stacked as a curtain to a sofa, so I wanted the sofas to pop and look really bright and happy in the room, and so the curtains kind of recede to the sofas and allow them to be the star of the room. The lamps are from Roy Hamilton, who quit making lamps just as we were building this house, and I think these are some of the last lamps he ever made. I love his stuff. This penguin I just got on a little trip to the Galapagos Islands we took with our kids, and a lot of the accessories in here have memories. We got this handmade basket on a trip to the Bahamas that we took as a family, which was great, and I love it. We got this box on the trip we took to Nantucket, which I thought was also a fun little trinket to bring back. Most of the accessories in here do have a memory attached to them. This baleen box I got in Alaska, and I love how it feels, and it's funny to look at and remember the trip by. One of the things I didn't love about my last house was our family room had a shorter ceiling. I wanted this ceiling to feel big and massive. I wanted this to feel almost like another sunroom, and so we pushed the ceiling up and put a lattice pattern on it, sort of spread out so it's not so busy, but it's really a nice complement to the blue and white space. This room is used mainly for us watching TV, because it's connected to the kitchen. This is my chair, and when I'm home, no one's typically allowed to sit in this chair other than me, and the kids kind of pile up here as my wife does too. A lot of times, it's also a really good conversation room. If people are off playing outside or doing stuff, we sit here as a family, and it's also a really good Christmas room. We do all our Christmas tree and gift opening in this room, which is a lot of fun. This light fixture has always been my favorite light fixture since it came out, and I never knew if I'd ever get to use it or where I'd ever put it, and when we did this room, I had not gotten a light, and we kind of were without light in here for a while. It was one of the last things I ordered for the house, and I said, this is the one. I have to do it. I have to finally pull the trigger and buy it, and I did. It was a little bit painful. I'm really glad we did. It's such an architectural statement in this space, and if you follow me, we'll head over to the green room. So now we're in the green room, and one thing I love about the green room is it's detached from the house, and so that means it's really another adults-only space. It's great for us guys to watch football games in. It's great for everybody to hang out later at night in. When the kids are sleeping, we can get a little rowdier out here. It's a lot of fun. It's a great room to spend time in. This awning really finished the bar, and it was a strange fabric choice for me because I really didn't like the fabric. It's rare that you use a fabric that you don't love, and I didn't love this one. I just thought it went perfectly with the room, and so I made a strange choice to use a fabric that I wasn't a big fan of, and I think it works really well because it's a good supporting player to the bigger elements in this space. Another funny thing about this room is we use it for our annual fantasy football draft. A lot of interior designers don't play fantasy football, but I do, and the first time we used it, we normally were in an old office building in a conference room, and we came in here, and I think a lot of the guys in the league were kind of a little freaked out being in a room like this, but it ended up working great, and again, everything's outdoor fabric in here, so you can eat whatever you want. We'll put pizza right on the coffee table and just hang out in here and live life. In college, we loved going to this bar called the Milk Bar, and they had a little room next to it called the Green Room, and for some reason, we always found ourselves hanging out in the Green Room and just always had a lot more fun there, so this room is my version of that Green Room back in the day. Same kind of stuff goes on just a little bit older now. Most of the art we have speaks to not only me, but most of our family. This picture from New York was one that I really loved. We've had a lot of great trips to New York as a family, and my kids love remembering the trip, so we got this art to kind of remind us of that. This is one of my favorite pieces of art. It's by Patricia Iglesias. I'm probably not sophisticated enough to fully understand it, but I just think it evokes such an interesting mood and experience to look at. This sofa is all outdoor fabric, and we put an ottoman instead of a coffee table just so we can kick our feet up while we're in here. The choice between an ottoman and a coffee table typically, to me, boils down to do you have a good tray to put drinks on, and in this case, we did, so we went with the ottoman in here. And then this sofa is a great spot in the lounge. I like sitting here with my legs out this way. It really is a great place to watch TV. When I originally did this room, I did not have any paper on the ceiling, and so once we got done, I felt like it needed something, and so we ended up putting this paper from Studio 4 on the ceiling, which I think just really finishes off the space. There are a lot of patterns in this room, and one thing I feel like when you mix patterns together, you need to be aware of having a pattern be the star of the show, and in this case, it's this curtain, and again, it has kind of a 90s feel with some leaves and ferns. It became kind of the starting point for all the fabrics in the space. As you move around the room, the fabrics get smaller in scale, and some of these stripes are small. They allow this fabric to really breathe and be the main star of the room while they are kind of smaller and recede to it. This chair is almost a direct copy of the chair I have in my family room that no one's allowed to sit in. Typically, if we're out here with a lot of people, this is my chair, and no one's allowed to sit in it. I just wanted to have a second one for out here. The other reason we love coming out here is because we have this golf simulator room, which is a lot of fun. You can tell how bad of a golfer I am by all the holes in the ceiling that I put, but it's still a fun time to play. I think every room in this house is sort of about a memory. Our dining room reflects the trip we took to Nantucket. My kids are painted in the mural, kind of part of the room. Each room has a little bit of a story to it. My youngest son has always gotten on our banquette and used it as a slip and slide with his friends, which is always really funny. And then, you know, we've had lots of nerf wars in our family room, which have been a little bit nerve-wracking because I don't want the lamps to fall over, but still really fun. So, I think this house is all about memories and personal touches. Everything here should remind you of something that you've done before. For instance, we picked it up on a trip or we've, you know, gotten it from somewhere we've been together. This house is sort of all about memories. A crazy memory we have is where we mark our heights on the door jamb in the kitchen. My older son just reached six foot one, which is a record for our family. So, that was a major accomplishment in the Howard family. One thing I love to do in my bedroom is make it a little more pulled back than the rest of the house. It doesn't need to be as colorful. It doesn't need to feel as vibrant. And I had this paper from Gracie that I loved forever, that I was always wanting to find a home for. Never found a home for it until I found it in here. And I think it works great. It's very serene. It's very calming. It's a great place to spend the night. I love embroidered bedding. So, I had our matelassé coverlet embroidered in a floral pattern that I really love. And then these lamps. I've never owned Christopher Spitzmiller lamps. These are my first ones I've ever bought and I love them to death. I probably can't ever afford another pair, but I do love these. The mirror above the bed I've had in every house that I've ever been in. It was a gift that Bob Christian gave me when I got married, which was an unbelievable thing. He also decorative painted my stairs. So, we've had a long relationship. We do use a lot of neutral rugs. I used one in here just because it felt calm and I really love walking on this rug. But I think a neutral rug is great because it allows every room to sort of grow and change. And you're not tied to the rug. The rug doesn't have to make a statement in the room. I'm really big on elements making statements where some things make a really big loud statement and some things make a small one. In this house, I didn't want to make huge statements with my rug, so they are mostly neutral. The bed is my take on a canopy bed for this room. My wife didn't want the maintenance of a canopy bed, so we decided to do kind of a faux canopy bed with large posts on the backside and then smaller ones on this side. I also like the rounded edge of these so they don't become a shin buster in the night if you wake up and have to go to the bathroom or do anything. You don't bust your shin on them really hard. There is not a second floor over this room. So, one of the things we do when there's not a second floor is pitch the ceiling up really high. It just gives the room a lot of breathing room and makes it a great place to be. I don't love a lot of overhead light in a bedroom, and I love this fixture because it just puts out just a little bit of a glow of light, which is really nice at night if you need something on other than a lamp. For me, I wanted the curtains to feel soft and wispy, so I found this pattern from Schumacher that I really love. They don't need to become the star of the show. They can just be the second character, and I think they work really great at that. Okay, now let's go to the guest room. All right, this is my guest room, and one thing I have about guest rooms is that they can't be too busy. You don't want anyone staying in here longer than they probably should be. My friends at Gracie Studio did this wallpaper for me custom based on some things I'd seen on a trip to Italy that I took with my wife. These tiles I had pictures of on my phone, these urns I saw painted in a room we went there. We put it all together, and it just created a really interesting space. I didn't think the curtains needed to be the star of the show in here, so we just did a simple wall with a pretty trim on it that we found. I did want to use every color in this house, and we had not done a lot of yellow, and we had not done a lot of purple, so I did a yellow bed. I've never done a yellow bed before, and I thought it would look great, and I love it in this space, and then we added this kind of tiki tape to it to make it feel a little bit tropical. These side tables are vintage. I got them in Palm Beach a few years back. They were actually in my last guest room, and they work great in here too, and these lamps were hand painted in England, and we got them, and I thought they looked great. I love the petite little lamp on this petite little side table. I think they work really well together. One thing I think that's just as important as changing fabrics in a room is changing texture, and I love how these textured stools felt at the foot of the bed. They just brought in something that wasn't already here, and they're really nice to sit on as you're putting your shoes on in the morning. This piece was kind of a happy accident. We got it for another job, and it didn't fit, so it was a great thing to use in here, and it's a perfect fit for this space. The ginger jars I got on a trip to Charleston with my wife a long time ago, and the chair is actually one of the first things I ever purchased in my decorating career. Weirdly enough, I also got it on eBay, and it was a little bit less expensive to ship it via Greyhound bus, so I picked the chair up at the Greyhound bus station at about 24 years old and thought it was the This is where the kids hang out. I have the green room out there. This is where the kids can go and hang out when we've got a bunch of kids spending the night. Everyone tends to be in here, and they tend to pass out there. The Big Joe is used to play video games on, but it's also used to jump off the top bunk onto when I have a lot of kids over here. Basically, this room's just Legos, video games, and whatever else kids do. The wallpaper is also one we created. It's completely scuff-resistant, and no one can destroy it even if they try really hard. The bunks became a place where kids could sleep, but also they play video games here. They wrestle here. They jump off the top bunk, and this bell here is put so if someone's sleeping up there and they want to bother the other person to wake them up, they just ring this bell really loud. It's a very annoying thing, but they love it. So this is where all the kids pile up. This is a leaf sectional. It's in an outdoor fabric, and it's a great place for everyone to sit. They can eat up here. They can drink up here, do whatever they want. This curtain wall is also an outdoor fabric, and one thing I love about it is this is an off-center window, so it goes all the way over there, but here it's just wall, and you don't know that the window's off-center when the curtains are partially drawn. So that's kind of one thing I love about this big curtain wall, and again, messy, greasy hands aren't going to mess anything up on these curtains. The other thing I did, this is the only room in the house where I did not do hand-sewn rings on the curtains, and it's because I know kids are just all day long, and I just don't want to have them ripping my curtain rings off. I think home, to me, is not about where I'm sitting or not about any of the rooms in this house. Home, to me, is the memories that we've had here and the things we've done together and the meals we've eaten here. Home, to me, is not about stuff. It's about the people and the parties and the great things you've gotten to experience in your house. Thanks for watching.
