Ok now I wanna talk Chris Loves Julia again

[pugz]

They announced today they are selling their huge new home and moving south for her health reasons. I hope the house sells quickly. The design choices are a very specific taste.

Sounds like their employees (and I assume her parents) say they will move with them, which seems wild.

[ssmjlm]

I wonder if they think it will sell fast because of COVID pushing real estate up.

[madringal]

Wow! I just read the post. I mean, good for them! I would do the same. And they are BFFs with YHL, so I wouldn't be too surprised if they moved near them.

Also, their current house is awful. I truly hate every room except the living room. The hideous room for their 3 year old about sent me over the edge.

[boiler717]

I was pretty surprised at this! They have poured A TON of money into that house. I feel like the buyer pool there is very small for that type of house (wasn’t it on the market forever before they bought it?). Should be very interesting.

Yes and the butter yellow “playroom” uggh.

IDK - I feel like I keep reading that Idaho is where all the Californians with crap tons of cash are buying up homes there.

[ssmjlm]

I wonder where they are moving? I'm guessing it's somewhere red given their backgrounds.

My guess is Arizona-- near Jenny Komenda.

I used to really like her.  Now I can't behind her style.

[pugz]

I also think Arizona because there is a large Mormon population there.

[downtoearth]

Their house is in Rexburg... just down from Targhee and over the hill from Jackson Hole, it's a hot real estate market even without all the mormans who live there, so I'm sure they'll sell their house quickly and for a lot. I think their style is pretty cottage modern and will be really universally liked by most who are shopping in that area. That house is huge, right?

[tacokick]

That house was a monster. I’m surprised they stuck it out this long. No matter how many times they called it a cottage it was still an ugly giant waste and didn’t really seem like it was their style.

Saying that they need to move somewhere with better weather for health sounds very 1800s but I’d take any excuse to start over.

[cosmowife]

Chris Loves Julia sounds like the type of website that would be created by someone who has a joint Facebook page with their husband.

[lo]

Some parts of their house I like, but overall it’s just so gloomy to me.

It basically is!

It reminds me of a haunted house. It does seem so gloomy! The color in the music room I primed and painted as quickly as I could to get rid on the 90’s in our current house and, I’m sorry, but spending over $500 for kid curtains is extravagant (and yet still grandma-ish and gloomy).

“But she loves it!!” Yeeeeah, sure she does, what 5 year old wouldn’t...

[krystee]

Yeah, when I read they spent more than $5K on that child’s room that looks like it belongs in a19th century haunted house, my jaw dropped.

Also, the stuffed animal mounted head products need to go away. Why would a child want a giraffe’s head to be mounted on her wall?

It's like something out of the movie The Others.

Guys the house literally was haunted when they moved in! They has to have someone out to ghostbust the place early on 🤣

I've never heard of these people before but wut? I clicked through to the house and agree it will sell - but I hate the exterior choices and that child's room.

they reported a bunch of weird things like doors randomly closing, lights turning on, etc.  "Friendly ghosts" or whatever. They had someone come out to address the issue and it stopped, lol.

Who are these people ? Google shows me bloggers ?

DIY/decor bloggers. They kind of became known when YHL stepped out of blogging for a year. LDS. They have some shitty views. Their last house was attainable for the most part. This house is a McMansion that they have poured hundreds of thousands into and it’s...not good. They have only lived in the house for a year or two.

[circa1978]

I spent more time than I'd care to admit yesterday looking for the post about the haunted McMansion. What ghost chooses to live in a McMansion? Maybe it came with the curtains.

Someone who is angry someone built that ugly house on their grave!

[juliachild]

Bumping this to talk about the location they picked. North Carolina! What does everyone think?

[maudefindlay]

Sounds like a great area to move to for her health issues to be near good medical institutions. I wonder if they will purchase a beach house as well for weekends, that would be fun to see renos on.
