What do you think of the new Young House Love house in FL?

And the furnishings are very ikea-ish.

Why are there so many little Christmas trees featured in the laundry room/closet?

It's not the "after", they just moved in. They'll work on improvements over time and post about those for the blog. That's their business. This is just how they are making it work for now.

They just posted a new blog about the upstairs area, did anyone see it? I do think it looks nice, but still don’t like the layout of the house overall.

Sherry really emphasizes how much it works for them, and also mentions how people say to have small bedrooms and larger living spaces when you downsize... doesn’t seem like that applied to their master bedroom!

Thats the point. They are buying the house to fix it up so they have something new to blog about. Nothing wrong with small bedrooms. We only sleep in ours.

Does anyone know where this house is in FL? I think I saw panhandle area somewhere. Just curious.

I like how they did the upstairs living area. Can't wait to see their master bedroom.

Which part of Florida are they in?

Those poor kids. Can you imagine trying to have a few friends over?

The layout isn’t really for a full-time residence. I don’t understand why the master is so large.

I guess they’ll sell it before the kids are teenagers. No way they can last in this place.

It’s definitely on the gulf side. Other than that not sure.

They’re not far from Destin. You can find city via the property listing.

The house pics! Reverse google image search. Listing pics are gone now. I belong to another board where it was discussed.

So tell us where the new house is then.

I wonder how many of their neighbors actually live there- it seems to be a big vacation/ Airbnb area. I know they couldn’t have foreseen this, but what a terrible time to move given the pandemic and how people are distancing (well, maybe not so much in FL). But I can’t imagine it’s easy to meet new people or make friends right now. And they are surrounded by rentals
