Outlines
🏡 New House Tour and Mid-Century Design
The video script begins with the hosts discussing their excitement about showcasing their new home, which they moved into three months prior. The house is mid-century in style, and they have incorporated a lot of mid-century furniture, which they couldn't fully utilize in their previous home. The living room is highlighted, with a focus on the unique and comfortable couch arrangement. The hosts mention that most of their furniture was purchased secondhand through Facebook Marketplace or Offer Up, emphasizing the affordability and uniqueness of their finds, such as a mirror made from a 1960s sliding closet door. The house also features a cat tower disguised as a piece of art, which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
🛋️ Living Room Details and Kitchen Tour
The hosts continue the tour by detailing the living room, including a Grundig record console from the 1960s, which is fully functional and a prized possession. They move on to the kitchen, which lacks cabinets and has an open shelving setup for dishes and a unique silverware storage solution. The kitchen also features a Costco kitchen cart from the 1950s, repurposed with glass from their old bar cart. The hosts discuss their love for their backyard, which includes a grapefruit tree, two orange trees, and a lemon tree, and they share a grapefruit hack involving grapefruit spoons. The kitchen tour ends with a look at Dean's litter box, cleverly disguised as a piece of furniture.
🛌 Bedroom and Bathroom Features
The script proceeds to the bedroom area, where the hosts show off their unique and personalized spaces. They discuss the use of fake plants, a bathroom with a large shower but no shower door, and quirky details like onions hanging from doorknobs and keys with headphone jack holders. The guest room is highlighted with a focus on a Cat in the Hat theme and a story about their cat, Dean, watching movies. The master bedroom features a discussion about the bed and nightstands, while the bathroom boasts a large tub and a separate shower area. The hosts also play a game of 'categories' and discuss the guest bathroom before moving on to the next area of the house.
🎥 Home Cinema and Garage Tour
The hosts introduce their home cinema, which is set up in a couch with a TV and an extra-large dog bed for sleepovers. They mention a knockoff version of a shark tank bed and the lack of an office in the house, as they prefer to work on everything but a desk. The garage is showcased, with a gaming station for live streaming on Twitch, a racing simulator, and a nosy neighbor ledge for observing the neighborhood. The garage also features a new car reveal, with details about its features and a mention of it being for sale.
🌳 Backyard and Garden Exploration
The final part of the script takes the viewer on a tour of the backyard, which includes a diving pool, a fire pit area, and a garden that the hosts are planning to transform. They discuss their attempts to enter a rose competition and show off their prized orange tree, which has a unique half-yellow, half-orange fruit. The hosts also mention their lemon and kumquat trees and share a tip for eating kumquats with the skin. The backyard tour ends with a humorous interaction with their cat, Dean, and a reminder to viewers about the importance of security.

we do get a lot of compliments on our
furniture that's not the unfortunate
part A lot of people ask where we get
certain things and un
fortunately most of it I would say 90%
of everything in this house is Facebook
Marketplace or offer up so you do do
have to dig we buy everything secondhand
it's always a better deal you can get
like cool pieces for you know much
cheaper than buying things brand new for
example this mirror yes Facebook
Marketplace this is actually a closet
door from the 1960s so Jordan come on
wait what do you see I did not the
wheels on the bottom it's a sliding
closet door that is actually

$1,000 oh that's such a good idea it's a
closet door that's incredible and it
fits perfectly in that wall look at it
