Coming from Europe, it is so fascinating to see how the houses are structured in Canada and which features they have (bedrooms in the basement, heated garage😮 ). So curious to follow the journey on the renovations.
Straw Berry I live in a 1500sqft 3 bed 2 bath home. Roughly the same sqft of theirs. My electric bill is roughly $100 a month keeping my air at 67 in the summer and 73-74 in the winter. My gas bill is roughly $30 a month and my water bill is accumulated every three months and is about $50 a month. $180 for all three bills at the same sq footage. I’m in the US so I don’t know how Canada works, but if those three bills of your are half your salary I would look for leaks and you bills to make sure you’re only using your power. I should also add I’m a family of 4 plus 3 dogs.
Straw Berry it really depends on where you live in Canada. It varies DRASTICALLY. Closer to the bigger cities (Toronto, Vancouver..) it’s extremely expensive. I live about an hour outside of Toronto and the cost of living is very expensive, especially compared to the average income. More rural areas are usually more affordable. Canada is such a massive place, it’s really impossible to lump it all together 🤷♀️
Your so blessed to have such a gorgeous home. You could use the kid's favorite place downstairs as the playroom for now and use the upstairs room as your dining room instead of their playroom. There you can have your dining room. Just a beautiful home, so happy for you all. God bless hun, and enjoy the renovations.
Yeah I would use the “playroom” in the beginning as the dining room and then the little “dining room” in the kitchen as a little playroom. Because the kids can be around you playing while you cook. I remember that I never used my playroom as a kid and always brought my toys to where my mom was “busy” so I could have her company.
I don’t think that will fly. With kids as young as theirs, they really need to be on the same level as a parent. They have a lower level playroom in their current house and they often lament that they can’t keep all the toys upstairs where they’d get more use.
Hey Delilah, if you want to put a garden in next year I highly recommend you rip all the stuff out and get your soil prepped (and then mulched) before your ground freezes. That way you can get started as early as possible in the spring! Because you have such a short growing season you really don’t want to eat up precious time getting the garden ready! You can throw raked leaves over the soil to protect it over the winter AND it will compost and add lots of good organic material to the soil to enrich it in the spring :) just turn it into the soil when the ground thaws!! Good luck💗 the house is beautiful!!!
As a side note, it might be worth throwing down some sort of netting to keep the neighbourhood cats from doing their business in your garden once it’s all dug up (I speak from experience 🤢).
So basically your old house would fit in your new basement lol. I can't wait to see how you just completely make this house your own. So happy for you!
Feel free to trim it...it will get bushier. And they really like routine in watering, not too much direct light. I rescued a 9 inch one at Christmas 1995, named him Adolf, and he has moved with me 4 times now.
@Peanut it is slang. The best way I can define it is calm. Instead of "this is my dream home" where it could be read as being super excited and over hyper, the low-key is meant to add a sense of chillness.
this house is so spacious and i’m so excited to see the transformation! it’s so interesting to see how different your house is structured than down here in Texas. we never have basements, it would just flood every time it rains!
I love how thankful and grateful you guys are for everything. You account for the little things you didn't have before (counter space, a proper tub, etc.). It makes me sooooo happy to see your family grow. 🥰
This house is huge, precious, vintage, top, naturalistic, unique! I know why you fell in love when you met it in the first time now, I LOVE IT!!!❤️❤️❤️ CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS HOUSE AFTER RENOVATION!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Rianne Prystupa me too!! And I also felt terrible for them 😂😂 our last apartment had a bathroom that EXACT red and it took so many coats of primer and paint to cover it... and even when we moved out I still saw little pieces of red poking through lol
This house is so different from anything I’ve seen. It’ll be intriguing to see what ideas there are to transform this home. I like the kitchen, would just change the countertops. Love the wooden pillars and the windows are glorious.
About the lattice fence, I have one of those in my community garden, and we chose morning glories to plant around it. If you do not know, morning glories are flowering vines that come in all sorts of colours and I highly recommend them for any kind of vine use. I live in a slightly warmer area than you, but not by much, and although they are not perennials, they have so many seeds they might as well be. I highly recommend.
You have to be careful with morning glories! They are my favorite flower, but I learned the hard way that some types are invasive. They accidentally took over our vine vegetables once 😅
So exciting! Congratulations to your family!!! I sort of laughed at the in ground pool knowing just how long and cold your winters are! One idea (which I’m sure you have thought of) maybe put the toy room into the attached dining area so you can see the kids from the kitchen and the living room, and then use the larger dining area/bonus room for dining? Congrats again!!!
Hi Delilah, I’m so happy about your lovely new and roomy new home. I live in Tasmania, Australia and two differences I have noted between us and Canada. One; we just call the laundry, “the laundry” not the laundry room. A funny discrepancy! ☺️ Two; our laws insist upon all pools being fenced. Glass fencing is so un-obtrusive and still keeps the garden looking spacious. As a mother of 5 children, I really appreciate letting the children out into the backyard with minimal supervision for them to play. Absolutely no insults or negative vibes from me to you, I wish you all a happy move, regards Susan. 🇳🇿
The past few weeks I have been watching your videos from almost the beginning, so I am behind 😂 But just wanted to say, this house is beautiful. So happy for y'all!
Ps. I absolutely love y'all and enjoy watching your videos. I have a 9 month old, so I am thankful for how relatable and real you all are. Thank you ❤️
Wow. What a gorgeous house! Seriously a dream home. I love open plots and lots of natural light and the lowkey retro vive your house has is awesome. Honestly once you add your own renovations and decor this house really seems like it was made for you guys!!!
Congrats on the new house! I am so happy for you and your family. I came across your channel not long after I gave birth to my daughter. She's now 2.5 y.o. and my son just turned 6 months old. And we have a cat too! There's so much content in your videos that I can relate in everyday life. You are very genuine, inspiring and beautiful. I'm at the crossroad of big change in life at the moment. Seeing you guys moved into a new home somehow provides me with huge satisfaction and comfort. It's like a message to me that everything will be okay and it'd all work out. Thank you Delilah. Looking forward to more exciting videos about your new home! Love from Australia
The amount of space you now have is amazing!! We have 8 children, we are fostering our 9th, and we just found out Monday we are expecting AGAIN!! I would loooove this much space inside! We live in Iowa with harsh winters. It's tough being cooped up with so many people in the house all winter! But we do have 20 acres outside, so that definitely makes up for it!! I pray you are enjoying your new home!! Congrats! ♡♡♡
I looove the house and I also love how you didn't go for "new built! everything modern and perfect and huuuuge! typical youtuber's house!" type of house haha I love you went for more cozy and unique house !! it fits your aesthetic so perfectly! congrats😭💛
It’s so awesome to see you so excited about this! My family is currently in a season of waiting to move to the states (where I grew up) from Russia and I cannot wait to be able to also have so much joy in being in a new place! I’m sharing all about it on my RUclips channel and it’s so so inspiring to be watching your videos and feeling like I’m going through it all with you! God bless you in the renovating process ❤️
"One day far in the future this will be a nursery: no, I am not pregnant". October 2022 came and this is so nostalgic now that you have 3 little ones instead of 2 ❤️
The windows are EVERYTHING! Natural light is a must! We live in Chicago and winters here like Canada are very long and cold so all that light will help!
What an exciting time! I’ve been dying to see “the” house - I know you guys are going to make it so cute. I had a pool in the house i grew up in and I can’t imagine a childhood without one. Eloise and Theo are going to love it!
This house is 1000% my childhood dream home. The playroom, the POOL, the downstairs to move in when they’re way older….kid me is crying. I also think you’re going to get all the kids friends over all the time with this set up 😭😍😍
I think it's so funny how you talk about a rather old home being build in 1965, whereas here in The Netherlands you call a home old when its build before the war, and a lot of houses are even built long before that. It just shows the differences in cultures, which I love about youtube :)
Full bath includes a tub. That’s considered a 3/4 bath with a shower. Amazing home!!! I can see why you chose it and I usually like the old Victorian style homes too! To many years of amazing memories to you and yours!! PS The red room would make a great theater room! That basement is fantastic!! And has air too! That pool cover was a fortune!! Is it kid proof? And yay slide and diving board are so cool! You’ll have the house that all the kids come to!
looove all the space this place has! you guys are going to steward it so well and I know it will be loved by those who come over. I had a friend growing up who had a similar backyard & it was my favorite!! the kids are going to love it for years to come
I like the character of the houses you pick. The stairs with the glass is so different, it really adds something to the house. I’ve been digging 90’s decor lately. The lighter wood everywhere is right up my alley. I know a lot of people don’t like lighter/orangish wood but I just think it looks so pretty!
If you are staying in the house long term, fill in the pool in favour of more yard space. You hardly have any summertime to use it, and with small children, it’s a drowning risk, not to mention the cost and time it takes to maintain it
Delilah! I love the new house tour! I love how transparent you are and you are my favorite Canadian RUclips mom! Praying that you will be blessed abundantly in your new house! Eloise and Theo are going to love having so much space to move around and grow up in such a lovely home!
I feel like the pool takes away from any room to play in the grass :( by experience i can tell you the upkeep of pools is a horror too. But the home is beautiful beautiful.. it’s amazing. I just miss your old back yard lol!!! But as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters!! 😁
Agree. I had a pool in one of the houses I grew up in snd we barely used it, but still we had to clean it (scrub and vacuum) once a week. Getting the water chemistry right also uses up a lot of products.
Okay, just finished watching the house tour!!!! It is beautiful!!!! As you were going through the house and talked about Reno's, I was could definitely see you making it perfect for your family! Can not wait to see the coming vlogs!
So happy for you! We just recently bought our first house and man I cried. We went from being 4 in one room to a two bedroom house with a bonus room. I feel you on the excitement, I'm the same way. ❤👏 Congrats!!!!
So fun! LOVE the house! It seems so much bigger than 1500 square feet! We close on our new house in 3 weeks 😱. It’s an MCM house built in 1960 and needs TONS of work, but we are ready to make it ours! LOVE unique “older” homes that you can totally customize! ❤️❤️
A friend of mine made her small dining room feel SO much bigger by adding a bench that hugged the wall - really opened up the space, and added a lot more seating, while still having a great minimalist look and feel.
The house is aesthetically outdated but SOO MUCH POTENTIAL! Good for you. I find renos annoying (currently amidst renos myself) but it’s so worth it to personalize it and make it the way you want it.
Congrats. I'm so excited for you. What a journey!! I believe the weird spindly plant below the dinning room arch is a begonia and the tall tree is a Norfolk Island Pine. Both plants like moist soil and the Norfolk pine you can even mist with water. I believe both like indirect sunlight and can burn if left in direct sunlight too frequently. Congrats again. So very exciting The home has lots of character. Hope the moving goes smoothly and that you find the plant ID helpful. :)
I cannot wait to see how you personalize your new home! My home was built around the same time and is aesthetically very similar to yours. (Except for the red room, haha) Hoping to get some inspiration along your renovation journey. Best of luck and cheers from the east coast. ☺️
Oh my gosh Delilah, I'm obsessed with your new house! Congratulations! I can already picture Eloise's grocery haul videos in that kitchen and Theo playing in that huge toy room and I absolutely ADORE all the natural light and wood trimming and flooring all over the upstairs! 😍 I've been watching your house hunting videos and following your and Zack's journey and praying for your beautiful family the whole time ❤ I'm so happy for you all!!! God bless you and keep you all as you make this transition in your lives.
So exciting! I'd love to start fresh with a new space to make our own but it's nice watching these tours cause it reminds me how many projects I can still do to update our current space. Have fun, I know I will have fun watching the progress.
This is like deja vu for me. We went from 1,100 sq. feet to 2,100. I felt like it was huge and we would never, ever use that much house. Our house is dated, even 3 years later, but what it does have was very nice at the time it was done. Also, our yard is big, but taken up by a patio and most of it is in the front, so our little kids can't really play there. So while our houses are nowhere near the same, it brings up similarities. Also, I'm assuring you shoot with a wide angle lens, which is probably why everyone keeps commenting on how huge it is. I also think your new home is laid out very well and uses the square footage very wisely. Lovely home! Congratulations 👏
Consider a pool security system! My friend’s son ran out to the pool while he was being babysat and drowned. Luckily he is still alive but he lost most of his cognitive ability. Please don’t take offense to this, I don’t want you to think I’m mom shaming or anything! Just sharing some experience to maybe help prevent anything like this from happening to anyone else’s baby!
I suggest seeking out a company that has people who are CPO certified. They are trained on safety of pools and hot tubs. They have heard the horror stories and have the solutions.
Yeah as a lifeguard, I totally agree. Australia now has legislation like New Zealand. It is so important, it is so, so tragically common for young children to drown in home swimming pools, and a waterslide adds another very significant element of risk. I am so sorry about your friend's son, Madison, that's awful. I imagine it would be horrific to try and forgive yourself for something so preventable.
The house is amazing and will look even better when y’all make it your own! I live in Florida, where pools are very common and I would definitely recommend getting a child proof gate to surround the pool itself. Even with the cover on it can be super dangerous. (Also, this is zero judgement on parenting. Accidental drownings happen to the very best, most cautious Moms and Dads. My lifeguard heart just wouldn’t be able to rest if I didn’t recommend one to you) ❤️❤️❤️
In Australia, it's illegal to have a pool without a fence around it. I'm surprised this isn't the case everywhere! Super dangerous to have an unfenced pool with kids.
@@Emilu273 here you have to have the backyard either fenced or the pool screen has to have a lock but the child proof fence is not required, but I definitely think it should be as well!
I love the house so much 😍 my favorite part is the kitchen and the hallway. The colors and lighting of this house are bright and cozy, definitely bohemian vibe
hurray!!!!! so happy for you guys!! looks amazing, sooooooo much downstairs room. can't wait to see all the changes and painted red room!!! the kids will have so much fun in this house!! have a blast and enjoy!!
SO exciting! Hoping for 3 brs in our next house! As an Arizona native, I highly, highly HIGHLY encourage your to get a gate for around your pool. My mother is an ER nurse, and just being from Arizona where pools are SO common, there are just too many instances of children drowning by pool related accidents. It only takes a split second for it to happen.
The 3rd bathroom is full, I believe it’s called a three piece, you all definitely have a 3 bathroom home, which is simply lovely by the way. You all are so Blessed!!! I can’t wait to see the home after you all move in and decorate. Your smaller home was also fab. I love your style
I am so happy for you and your beautiful family. I'm so glad you've got more space at last! Congratulations on buying your new home and thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope your kids have many happy memories in that pool and yard 💚
Your new home reminds me so much of our house in Regina. It was a bungalow built in the late 80s with oak trim and cabinets, as well. We are still living in the prairies, but made the move to Manitoba...Winnipeg area. Enjoy your new home!
The laundry room sink and the double-basin sink in the basement are commonly called a "utility" sink. Thank you for the tour; the house is lovely and the natural light is fantastic. I look forward to seeing the choices you decide on as you update and make the house into your own beautiful home for your sweet family.
so beyond excited for you guys! if you guys haven't already considered it, I think building an L shaped bench and doing a breakfast nook under the two windows in the kitchen might help out with space/function!
It's great that you get to upgrade your living situation. I'm sad though because I feel like I won't be able to relate to your videos anymore. We (family of 4 with two kids around the same age as yours) live in a small house around 900 sq ft. I don't like watching a lot of youTube moms living in a mcmansion type situation and that's why I enjoyed your videos so much. I could easily relate to your living situation before, I hope you don't lose yourself with this change.
@@kameronmoore2392 that's one aspect of it yes. I find it hard to relate to most youTube moms because my living situation does not resemble theirs. Watching loeppkys for the first time was a breathe of fresh air, a life I could relate to. Now she's gaining popularity, moving up in the world and her life is just becoming unattainable for me. Like most influencers today. unfortunately. It's wonderful that she's getting the things she wants in life but sadly I will likely have a difficult time relating to her going forward.
Idea!!! I know the in- ground pool isn’t ideal, but maybe you guys can use it for ice skating? Idk if that’s possible in terms of water or whatever the case, but could be an idea! Congrats you guys! So proud to watch you guys grow!
Coming from Europe, it is so fascinating to see how the houses are structured in Canada and which features they have (bedrooms in the basement, heated garage😮 ). So curious to follow the journey on the renovations.
I always wonder about their bills for electricty, gas and water for such big space
Like what, i give half of my salary for that
For 50sqm 😂
Straw Berry I live in a 1500sqft 3 bed 2 bath home. Roughly the same sqft of theirs. My electric bill is roughly $100 a month keeping my air at 67 in the summer and 73-74 in the winter. My gas bill is roughly $30 a month and my water bill is accumulated every three months and is about $50 a month. $180 for all three bills at the same sq footage.

Awesome tips Sarah!
So basically your old house would fit in your new basement lol. I can't wait to see how you just completely make this house your own. So happy for you!
The big tree is a norfolk pine. That's the biggest one I've seen indoors!
My husband has one that is 9 feet tall but it is much more sparse. It's his baby, lol.
Should they harden it off and plant it outside? Or do they typically live indoors?
@@katpihlaja I think it's possible for them to live outdoors, but it depends on the climate.
Feel free to trim it...it will get bushier. And they really like routine in watering, not too much direct light. I rescued a 9 inch one at Christmas 1995, named him Adolf, and he has moved with me 4 times now.
there’s sooo much more room compared to your old house. im so happy for you guys!
The quickest I’ve ever clicked on a video! I’m soo happy for you all !!
This is low-key my dream home
@Peanut it is slang. The best way I can define it is calm. Instead of "this is my dream home" where it could be read as being super excited and over hyper, the low-key is meant to add a sense of chillness.
eloise is going to find a coraline universe under the stairs
If she does, she'll close it up, and throw away the key because there is no better family than the one she's already got ❤️
Oh goodness I hope not!!! Agree with@@alyssa6291 on this one. ☝️
Let's hope for her that she doesn't!🥺😵
@@alyssa6291 Sweetest comment!

There's also a type of honeysuckle and a type of trumpet vine that are not invasive - those would be really pretty.
We have a Jasmine vine, good grower, and withstands winters - although in Spain our winters are A BIT warmer than your's hahahaa
@@SimoneClement I've been curious about jasmine! We just built a pergola, and I'm thinking either jasmine or grapes to grow across the top. ☺️
So exciting! Congratulations to your family!!! I sort of laughed at the in ground pool knowing just how long and cold your winters are!

Your home is going to hold so many memories and milestones x
(We already now it’s going to be a Pinterest board) ⭐️🌿
With all the fun play space in the basement you'll have your dinning soon. Kids love basement.
We bought a fire table a few years ago. We LOVE it! Easy to turn on, easy to turn off.
I hope all your big plans work out. It's a really unique house
I wanna see more of 9:28 "you". By no means am I insulting you but I love to see your humor unedited :D

I won’t be living there but I also want the red room gone so bad 😂

Same in Ireland. 60s built is a modern style here. 😀 I’m in a 30s built home and it’s sort of considered old!
I was thinking this. Our house in the UK was built in 1900 and it's definitely not the oldest in our area 🤣
I'm in the Netherlands too and my apartment building is from 1910
Full bath includes a tub. That’s considered a 3/4 bath with a shower. Amazing home!!! I can see why you chose it and I usually like the old Victorian style homes too! To many years of amazing memories to you and yours!! PS The red room would make a great theater room! That basement is fantastic!! And has air too! That pool cover was a fortune!! Is it kid proof? And yay slide and diving board are so cool! You’ll have the house that all the kids come to!
Guys that intro is ON POINT! So amazing. your new home is wonderful and huge!! So happy for your guys!
Right? The intro was incredible.... 🏡
looove all the space this place has! you guys are going to steward it so well and I know it will be loved by those who come over. I had a friend growing up who had a similar backyard & it was my favorite!! the kids are going to love it for years to come
The basement bathroom is a “3/4 bath”. The house is cool, I’m excited to see what you do!!
I like the character of the houses you pick. The stairs with the glass is so different, it really adds something to the house. I’ve been digging 90’s decor lately. The lighter wood everywhere is right up my alley. I know a lot of people don’t like lighter/orangish wood but I just think it looks so pretty!
If you are staying in the house long term, fill in the pool in favour of more yard space. You hardly have any summertime to use it, and with small children, it’s a drowning risk, not to mention the cost and time it takes to maintain it
Delilah! I love the new house tour! I love how transparent you are and you are my favorite Canadian RUclips mom! Praying that you will be blessed abundantly in your new house! Eloise and Theo are going to love having so much space to move around and grow up in such a lovely home!
*cries in British* this would be off the scale expensive in Britain 😅 but Delilah, I cant wait to see how beautiful you make this home!
For real!!!! I would kill for a house this big 😭 I'm probably paying about the same for a tiny 3 bed 😪
Cries in British Columbia 😭
Cries in Toronto
In the Netherlands this would easily be €1mil
@@shasita3361 I'm from Belgium. I can confirm this house would be 1mil here.
Delilah, I could sense your excitement throughout this video! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this new space! What a blessing!
I feel like the pool takes away from any room to play in the grass :( by experience i can tell you the upkeep of pools is a horror too. But the home is beautiful beautiful.. it’s amazing. I just miss your old back yard lol!!! But as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters!! 😁
Agree. I had a pool in one of the houses I grew up in snd we barely used it, but still we had to clean it (scrub and vacuum) once a week. Getting the water chemistry right also uses up a lot of products.
I cannot wait for the Reno’s to begin ! Even just the paint for now. The house will look so different in neutral colours ! How exciting 💕
Okay, just finished watching the house tour!!!! It is beautiful!!!! As you were going through the house and talked about Reno's, I was could definitely see you making it perfect for your family! Can not wait to see the coming vlogs!
So happy for you! We just recently bought our first house and man I cried. We went from being 4 in one room to a two bedroom house with a bonus room. I feel you on the excitement, I'm the same way. ❤👏 Congrats!!!!
I'm beyond excited for all the vlogs to come!! It's a beautiful home, I hope it serves your family well. 🥰🤎
So fun! LOVE the house! It seems so much bigger than 1500 square feet! We close on our new house in 3 weeks 😱. It’s an MCM house built in 1960 and needs TONS of work, but we are ready to make it ours! LOVE unique “older” homes that you can totally customize! ❤️❤️
AAAAH It's so pretty! So proud of you guys growing as a channel and a family!
When I saw your new bath tub, my heart leapt for joy. Praise be! So excited for you guys
This the home version of Delilah’s fashion sense. I love it hehe
A friend of mine made her small dining room feel SO much bigger by adding a bench that hugged the wall - really opened up the space, and added a lot more seating, while still having a great minimalist look and feel.
nice house, I just dont like how the pool takes up like 3/4ths of the yard lol. but the house definitely has potential
The house is aesthetically outdated but SOO MUCH POTENTIAL! Good for you. I find renos annoying (currently amidst renos myself) but it’s so worth it to personalize it and make it the way you want it.
while playing Animal Crossing, I've found that those large sinks in the "boring room" and laundry room are called "utility sinks."
hahaha i thought it was an outdoor sink😂
Congrats. I'm so excited for you. What a journey!! I believe the weird spindly plant below the dinning room arch is a begonia and the tall tree is a Norfolk Island Pine. Both plants like moist soil and the Norfolk pine you can even mist with water. I believe both like indirect sunlight and can burn if left in direct sunlight too frequently. Congrats again. So very exciting The home has lots of character. Hope the moving goes smoothly and that you find the plant ID helpful. :)
I cannot wait to see how you personalize your new home! My home was built around the same time and is aesthetically very similar to yours. (Except for the red room, haha) Hoping to get some inspiration along your renovation journey. Best of luck and cheers from the east coast. ☺️
Oh my gosh Delilah, I'm obsessed with your new house! Congratulations! I can already picture Eloise's grocery haul videos in that kitchen and Theo playing in that huge toy room and I absolutely ADORE all the natural light and wood trimming and flooring all over the upstairs! 😍 I've been watching your house hunting videos and following your and Zack's journey and praying for your beautiful family the whole time ❤ I'm so happy for you all!!! God bless you and keep you all as you make this transition in your lives.
Very spacious and cozy house Delilah. Can't wait for the next week vlogs on El's and Theo's reaction.
Been watching since Eloise was a babe. So proud of your journey and so happy for your family. I cannot think of anyone else more deserving ♥️
Can't wait for the vlogs in your new home!!
Also, you look great in green 😍
So exciting! I'd love to start fresh with a new space to make our own but it's nice watching these tours cause it reminds me how many projects I can still do to update our current space. Have fun, I know I will have fun watching the progress.
It’s only 1,500 square feet?? Wow, it looks like you got a lot of bang for your buck! Congratulations on your new home! 🎉
This is like deja vu for me. We went from 1,100 sq. feet to 2,100. I felt like it was huge and we would never, ever use that much house. Our house is dated, even 3 years later, but what it does have was very nice at the time it was done. Also, our yard is big, but taken up by a patio and most of it is in the front, so our little kids can't really play there. So while our houses are nowhere near the same, it brings up similarities. Also, I'm assuring you shoot with a wide angle lens, which is probably why everyone keeps commenting on how huge it is. I also think your new home is laid out very well and uses the square footage very wisely. Lovely home! Congratulations 👏
Consider a pool security system! My friend’s son ran out to the pool while he was being babysat and drowned. Luckily he is still alive but he lost most of his cognitive ability.
Please don’t take offense to this, I don’t want you to think I’m mom shaming or anything! Just sharing some experience to maybe help prevent anything like this from happening to anyone else’s baby!
He can’t talk, walk, eat, anything anymore..
I've heard so many horror stories like this... So sad 🥺
I suggest seeking out a company that has people who are CPO certified. They are trained on safety of pools and hot tubs. They have heard the horror stories and have the solutions.
Yeah as a lifeguard, I totally agree. Australia now has legislation like New Zealand. It is so important, it is so, so tragically common for young children to drown in home swimming pools, and a waterslide adds another very significant element of risk. I am so sorry about your friend's son, Madison, that's awful. I imagine it would be horrific to try and forgive yourself for something so preventable.
Nova Scotia also makes you put a fence around pools
The house is amazing and will look even better when y’all make it your own!
I live in Florida, where pools are very common and I would definitely recommend getting a child proof gate to surround the pool itself. Even with the cover on it can be super dangerous.
(Also, this is zero judgement on parenting. Accidental drownings happen to the very best, most cautious Moms and Dads. My lifeguard heart just wouldn’t be able to rest if I didn’t recommend one to you) ❤️❤️❤️
I second this. Perhaps a pool alarm also.
In Australia, it's illegal to have a pool without a fence around it. I'm surprised this isn't the case everywhere! Super dangerous to have an unfenced pool with kids.
@@Emilu273 here you have to have the backyard either fenced or the pool screen has to have a lock but the child proof fence is not required, but I definitely think it should be as well!
idea: paint part of the fence with chalkboard paint and the kids can doodle with chalk on the fence!
I love the house so much 😍 my favorite part is the kitchen and the hallway. The colors and lighting of this house are bright and cozy, definitely bohemian vibe
Please, please, please build a fence around the pool, and make it a high priority.
Your new house is beautiful, light and airy. Enjoy it.
hurray!!!!! so happy for you guys!! looks amazing, sooooooo much downstairs room. can't wait to see all the changes and painted red room!!! the kids will have so much fun in this house!! have a blast and enjoy!!
So weird to see a pool without a fence around it. I think it’s mandatory in Australia
Ahhh they need a fence right away! I am American, but even with a pool cover, I've heard stories about kids getting under them and drowning. 😱😭
SO exciting! Hoping for 3 brs in our next house! As an Arizona native, I highly, highly HIGHLY encourage your to get a gate for around your pool. My mother is an ER nurse, and just being from Arizona where pools are SO common, there are just too many instances of children drowning by pool related accidents. It only takes a split second for it to happen.
Blows my mind that other countries don't have laws regarding pool fences? In Australia you're required to have one!
I live in Quebec (Canada) and we must have pool fences. It's the law. Might be different in Saskatchewan.
I’ve never seen a pool have a fence around it in homes here in the US!
The 3rd bathroom is full, I believe it’s called a three piece, you all definitely have a 3 bathroom home, which is simply lovely by the way. You all are so Blessed!!! I can’t wait to see the home after you all move in and decorate. Your smaller home was also fab. I love your style
Will you put a fence around the pool? I would be so scared with that pool and the kids playing around 😬
I am so happy for you and your beautiful family. I'm so glad you've got more space at last! Congratulations on buying your new home and thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope your kids have many happy memories in that pool and yard 💚
It's so dreamy 😍 I can already picture how y'all are going to make it your's 😊
Your new home reminds me so much of our house in Regina. It was a bungalow built in the late 80s with oak trim and cabinets, as well. We are still living in the prairies, but made the move to Manitoba...Winnipeg area. Enjoy your new home!
I came rushing over!
I love you and your family so much Delilah!!!
♥️♥️
12:40- I’ve always called/heard sinks like that a utility sink? Also the plants look awesome! So cool that they left those for you 😍
When a bathroom has a shower but no tub, it's considered a 3/4 bath
The laundry room sink and the double-basin sink in the basement are commonly called a "utility" sink. Thank you for the tour; the house is lovely and the natural light is fantastic. I look forward to seeing the choices you decide on as you update and make the house into your own beautiful home for your sweet family.
Such a beautiful, spacious house; but a surprisingly small yard.
Shelby S or is it just a surprisingly massive pool??
This warm, cozy theme of your house really really suits your personality ❣
I never know what to comment but really want to help with you video's engagement.
So, today i baked chocolat brownies and it went great :p
Mmmmm sounds delicious 😍
so beyond excited for you guys! if you guys haven't already considered it, I think building an L shaped bench and doing a breakfast nook under the two windows in the kitchen might help out with space/function!
That’s definitely something we’re considering!!
It's great that you get to upgrade your living situation. I'm sad though because I feel like I won't be able to relate to your videos anymore. We (family of 4 with two kids around the same age as yours) live in a small house around 900 sq ft. I don't like watching a lot of youTube moms living in a mcmansion type situation and that's why I enjoyed your videos so much. I could easily relate to your living situation before, I hope you don't lose yourself with this change.
You can’t relate because she lives in a larger home now?
@@kameronmoore2392 that's one aspect of it yes. I find it hard to relate to most youTube moms because my living situation does not resemble theirs. Watching loeppkys for the first time was a breathe of fresh air, a life I could relate to. Now she's gaining popularity, moving up in the world and her life is just becoming unattainable for me. Like most influencers today. unfortunately. It's wonderful that she's getting the things she wants in life but sadly I will likely have a difficult time relating to her going forward.
Idea!!! I know the in- ground pool isn’t ideal, but maybe you guys can use it for ice skating? Idk if that’s possible in terms of water or whatever the case, but could be an idea! Congrats you guys! So proud to watch you guys grow!
When you moved to living room, I was like why the lamp in the kitchen is moving. Now I understand it at the end 🤣
Such a warm and cozy home! So happy for your family and excited to see what you do with the place 💕
