Young House Love » House Crashing » An Inspired & Inexpensive House Tour

| By Sherry Petersik | October 8, 2010 | 342 Comments

An Inspired & Inexpensive House Tour

After Jordan and Landon shared their amazingly affordable (and drop dead gorgeous) kitchen overhaul with us (here), we definitely were left wanting more. So when they offered up the opportunity to House Crash them, we said “uh… yes please.” And we figured since it’s their house they’d be the best at showing you around, so we’re passing the virtual mic over to them for the tour while we clean our house within an inch of it’s life in an effort to woo a few more potential buyers this weekend (fingers crossed). Enjoy the tour!

Welcome to our home in Columbia, South Carolina! We’re Jordan & Landon from landonjacob.com.

Jordan Landon Front

You’ve already seen the kitchen (here), but we’ll share that pic again, just to refresh your memory:

Jordan Kitchen 1

This is our dining room. The wine bottles come from one of our favorite wedding venues that we shoot at often! We had them hold the bottles for us (and we bought a bottle cutter on eBay).

Jordan Dining 4

That’s actually a DIYed mirror leaning against the wall. We bought mirrored closet doors on Craigslist for $40 for the pair and then found an old weathered pallet, took it apart, and made two mirrors (one for in here and one for the hallway).

Jordan Dining 5

Our dining table is an amazing thrift store find that people ooh and ahh over. It was just 10 bucks! The chairs and bench were bought at a yard sale, and the ottoman was a throw out item from a friend.

Next we have our living room:

Jordan Living 2

As you can see above, Landon made two frames out of more pallets. We really love that rustic wood (its kinda all over the house). We made that ottoman which was actually inspired by Kara’s DIY ottoman that you shared!

Jordan Living 3

Oh and that old wine bottle crate in the foreground works as an awesome magazine holder. We also love our little DIY end tables which we made from vintage suitcases on legs. We also like those hanging baskets from Ikea on the wall next to the sofa (it was actually an idea we stole from the ikea catalog). The doors on the wall above the bookcases are original doors from the home, so we wanted to incorporate them into the room.

Next we have our bedroom, where we added the beadboard wainscotting ourselves and hung a bunch of inexpensive frames that I sprayed white on the wall in a group.

Jordan Guest Room 9

And here’s our bathroom. Can you tell we have a think for big mirrors? We love how they open things up and make rooms feel lighter and bigger.

Jordan Bathroom 11

This is our awesome little hallway! Its my favorite space in the house! Its about the size of our other rooms! The chairs were thrifted for $40 and we recovered them. That’s also the second homemade mirror that we made with the mirrored doors from Craigslist and the weathered wood pallet. We also grabbed that lotus light fixture from Ikea.

Jordan Hallway 7

This is our office / crafts room. We thrifted that awesome craft table for 5 bucks. We also love instruments (we love music around here since my dad was a musician, and Landon is one as well… I sing, but technically that’s not a musician). Anyway I love how the blue guitar fits so perfectly in this room and that it gets to be a piece of art on the wall.

Jordan Office 8

This is the spare bedroom. We found the bed on Craigslist and I bought those awesome orange curtains for about $1.50 at Goodwill!

Jordan Master 10

This is our spare bathroom that we just finished off! It was a huge mess before! It’s so very tiny, so its kinda hard to show off in pictures, but I tried! That is your sink and faucet by the way (I was inspired by your bathroom overhaul) so we ordered them and added them to an antique wash stand that we found! And of course we have another huge mirror, but it really makes this bathroom feel so much bigger!

Jordan Half Bath 6

Ok, so that’s our house. Thanks so much for sharing it! – Jordan & Landon

So who’s jealous? Our hands are officially raised. Thanks so much to Jordan and Landon for sharing their home and all of their affordable DIY ideas. We’re sufficiently inspired. What was your favorite part everyone?

    I think the whole house looks great, but I really love their mix of furniture and use of large mirrors. I’m incorporating as many mirrors as I can!

    Your house is beautiful! I love how personal everything is! But I do have a question, how did you put legs on those suitcases for your end tables in your living room? I have a thing for old suitcases, but usually just stack them, I love the idea of adding legs!

    I love your house!!! And not to be too creepy, but you both are so pretty! haha, I was wondering if you would share how you did the suitcase side table thing? I have a suitcase just like that that I am using as a side table but its just sitting next to the chair like it normally would. So basically its a very skinny side table. Or do you have a link to it you could share? Thanks!

    It definitely shows that being creative and reinventing pieces give the space much more character then going out and buying something brand new (and more expensive). I love their innovative ideas and pops of color in each room. Thank you so much for sharing, I’m very much inspired!!

    Curious to see if they have more pics of the house exterior anywhere online? Their brick looks a lot like what’s at our new house and I would love to see how they spruced it up.

    Thanks so much for sharing this!

    Woweeee! Such a beautiful and artistic home – I love!

    Question – how do you like the butcherblock countertop in the kitchen? Do you have to be careful of spills? white cabinets and butcherblock countertops exist in my dream kitchen, but I’ve heard of butcherblock being tough to care for. Thanks so much for your input!

    Thank you for sharing your home guys! :) I love how it is mainly a neutral palette with pops of color here and there. The guest bedroom actually seemed larger than the master and has more windows so I was curious why you chose the other room for your master? Gorgeous either way!

    What a fun house and it is its own conversation topic-so many unique elements! I am in love with the kitchen and the spare bath is super cute with exposed brick.

    Please excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin! Oh, I love that kitchen! Soooo pretty!!! Keep ’em coming! By the way, I can’t wait for you guys to get a new house to rescue and leave your mark on. I was wondering when it would happen…I was already wondering how you would fit a second child into the mix. My bet was that you would move your office down to the basement, but then I figured it wouldn’t work as well out there. Change is good, embrace it! :)

    My favorite is the warm and cozy guest bedroom! And that shelf/ledge behind the couch in the living room is great–I imagine you could switch up the art easier than if everything was hanging. Thanks, Jordan and Landon!

    Do they have a tutorial for the big mirrors? I would love that.

    LOVE love love their whole house. I could move in there and not change one thing. What a great idea using pallets for the mirror frame. My DIY was using plywood and 1x6s and mirror tiles…… see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29996837@N08/4961924317/in/set-72157624888359742/

    the mirrors!!! i always drool over over-sized mirrors, but can’t bring myself to pay so much–even the prices at target, ross, & t.j. maxx are too much. my husband would totally be into making the frames from recycled barn wood {which we seem to have a plethora of}, so this dyi project is going on his list!
    thanks for the inspiration. i love your whole house!
    oh, the guitar, did you refinish it in that amazing hue or find it that way?
