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?

    The pallet/closet door mirror diy project is amazing! That is such a smart idea, and a more affordable way of incoporating large mirrors versus retail price! I need to keep that in my memory bank for when my hubby & I get a home :)

    Incredible!! Your home is absolutely beautiful. Bravo. My favorite part were the mirrors! We’d love more information on how the make the large mirrors out of doors and old pallets!

    Also, where did you get the mirror in the small bathroom – the one w/ the bead-work around the edge? Lovely.

    Well done! That half bath is so gorgeous with the exposed, painted brick. Your use of mirrors is refreshing. They work so well when you pair them with rustic elements — and how creative of you to repurpose an old pallet. You have inspired me!

    LOVE their house!! Wow – they really did an amazing job. Love the dark wood floors with lighter toned walls (like in your home too!), the small guest bathroom was stellar! Loved how they painted the exposed brick and gave that space a really clean, warm, eclectic hip look that fits perfectly in the rest of their house. And their DIY mirrors with the weathered wood framing ’em out… AWESOME!!!

    What a beautiful, unique, inspiring home. I love how Jordan and Landon’s personalities shine through so well.

    I especially love that washstand in your guest bath. My fiances mother just offered me an antique washstand from their house. It’s beautiful, but I had no idea where I would put it. Now I have an idea. Imagine, using a washstand as… a washstand! Ingenious. LOL

    Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. I love how every space is so personalized and liveable. The blue guitar? LOVE! The greys on the walls are really stunning. Is there a source list for paint colors? As someone who makes my entire living from singing, I do have one tiny OT correction: Singers are musicians too! If you’re involved in making music — whether you’re an instrumentalist or a singer — you’re a musician. So sing it proud, Jordan!

    Sherry,

    Thanks for crashing Jordan and Landon’s home. I love seeing the extremely inexpensive ways they decorated their home. My husband finally laid the last piece of wood in our house. Now, maybe I’ll get motivated and do something too.

    I am also enjoying this blog that you and John have put together. I found you through The Nester and have been here everyday since then. I’m looking forward to more of your house crashing.

    Lovely, lovely, lovely! Your spare bedroom is almost as fabulous as your Masterbedroom…in fact maybe more so – if it were not for the size of the bathrooms I might even switch them around! The only teeny tiny thing I didn’t love as much as everything else…was the dining room. The wine bottles are an interesting idea – but look cluttery and the rattan ottoman doesn’t seem to fit in the space neither in dimension or shape. This was the only room that seemed just a little bit out of sync with the rest of the gorgeous open airy clean but cozy space.
    Oh and more pictures of the cute black cat!

    Thank you so much for sharing your home. Is there anyway you might share some of the details, such as paint colors for each room. I love how light and airy it is. Also, might you be able to share the square footage. Colors and the details make it look very large.

    Thank you!

    You have such great ideas! Enjoyed looking around your house. I am wondering if you will stop in the comments section and share the name of some of your paint colors, particularly in your bedroom and living room — they seem gray to me and I am looking for a similar gray to put in my bedroom. Any details? Thanks for sharing your home!
