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.
You’ve already seen the kitchen (here), but we’ll share that pic again, just to refresh your memory:
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).
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).
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:
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is the spare bedroom. We found the bed on Craigslist and I bought those awesome orange curtains for about $1.50 at Goodwill!
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!
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?
Kari says
I love all the grey tones in the paint colors!! So light and airy!!! Love this house!
Mary Buckelew says
What a darling home! It’s truly and uniquely yours. Lots of beautiful and inexpensive ideas!
Amanda @ Our Humble A{Bowe}d says
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!

Emily says
Their house is killer, and they are such an adorable couple. I have to say that thing over the dining room table is truly amazing. They are so creative. Just beautiful. Add my raised hand the jealous group. Just amazing!
Hunter says
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!
Christine says
Great House Crash! Love it!
Kate says
So creative! Would love to see a tutorial for those mirrors made from closet doors.
Bree C. says
Ummm…so I love these people! Their house is amazing! I need to know how to make that pallet floor mirror!
Lauryn says
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!
alli says
an awesome crash! i’d love to know the paint colors in the office, dining room and tiny bath.
marianne says
Love it! I especially love the neutral palette with the punches of color in every room. Beautiful!
liz @ bon temps beignet says
I’m in looooooove with the DIY closet door and pallet mirrors. Awesome.
Shelby says
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!!
lauren says
ummm…can we be best friends? my husband and I live in Columbia too! i’d love to see your house in person. :)
Kate in the Shade says
I LOVE THIS HOUSE!
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!
LauraC says
So beautiful! I’d love to know the dining room color and the office/craft room paint color too. I love them! Thanks for sharing!
Johanna says
Your house is gorgeous!! I loved all the DIY projects. Those weathered mirrors are to die for!!
I love the color scheme and the personal touches.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Robyn in Chicago says
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!
Jordan G says
I love your home! I have a thing for weathered wood, too, so I absolutely love your big mirrors. Everything has a beautiful relaxed, airy and unique feel that I love!
Stacey says
Wow. Simply gorgeous! My faves were the hallway, office and guest room. They’ve given me some great ideas for color combos in my own home. Thanks so much for sharing!
Karla @ {TheClassyWoman} says
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.
Jenna says
Jordan and Landon, LOVE your style and aesthetic! Do you mind sharing paint colors??? We’re in a new home, and I’m SO incredibly overwhelmed with that piece of our design puzzle!
jenna says
Lovely home. I love the little pops of color all over the house, with the pillows, curtains and accessories.
Lauren B. says
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! :)

calliope (Greece) says
WOW!
Such a great sense of style with so little money
Hands down one of the best “real” homes I’ve seen lately
Allison says
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!
Brittany says
Can the whole house be a favorite? Jordan and Landon are so talented…Jordan even did some photography for me a few years back. Go LJo!
Cait @ Hernando House says
Oh my goodness I love their house! Those mirrored doors turned mirrors are fabulous! And I’ve been wanting to make a similar wine bottle light fixture for a while now!
Ashley Bell says
What AWESOME decor. You two are so creative and as the title suggests…so inspiring! We are going to finally redo our kitchen SOLELY because of the pic and tips we saw on yours. Thank you so much for sharing!
Tara @ Tara Being Tara says
I love the big mirror you made! We were cursed/blessed with three sets of mirrored closet doors in our house, and we were thinking of doing the same thing!
Courtney says
Ok, I’ve got to get to work – their house looks outstanding!! Well done!
Karen P. says
I absolutely must find out the paint colors that were used in this beautiful house.
Cory says
This by far is my favorite house crash yet!
krystle says
Love it! One important detail was missing in your descriptions….PAINT COLORS?
Samantha says
I LOVE their house!! Wow. Really, really nice. Love the master bedroom! Definitely going to be taking some tips from you guys!
Kerri says
GORGEOUS! This is probably the best example of rustic/traditional/modern blended together that I’ve ever come across.
Brittney says
Love this house! Do you happen to know the paint colors for each room? We just moved into a new house with all beige walls and I can’t wait to paint them.
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
Wow! You guys are so talented, I am extremely jealous as well. I think my favorites were the dining room (loved the wine glass fixture), but I loved everything. I would come stay at your house any time!
Do they have a tutorial for the big mirrors? I would love that.
Ashley @ The Hillside Home says
Okay, both my hands are raised! I LOVE this house!!! I love how this house feels “collected” and not “bought.” I think I love the living room the best. So many cool features. So many Craigslist finds–WOW!!!
Jill Stigs says
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/
Wish I would have seen this prior to building mine. Great job Jordan and Landon thanks so much for sharing!!
Jen says
Love the house!! Bargains are awesome, and they obviously found a lot of them! Just wondering.. How do you hang a guitar like that on the wall?? I have a guitar (that rarely gets played) and it’s always in the way! I would love to do that!
Abode Love says
I am really loving how light this home is- I also love how many rustic and recycled touches they have throughout- so lovely!I LOOOOVE when ya’ll house crash! Thanks!
L.Overstreet says
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?
Jenn L @ peas and crayons says
The DIY white frames and weathered mirrors are my favorite! Such great ideas =)
Cheri@IHeartOldHouses says
Their wine bottle chandelier (okay, their whole house) is incredible! Maybe one day John will take another crack at a bottle project with a bottle cutter? Sounds like that’s the way to go.
Danielle says
Beautiful!!! Would you mind sharing your paint colors? I love the wall colors in the dining room, guest room, and living room.
Nuha says
i love the whole house! but the kitchen is dreamy!! I love the way she has an amazing looking house thats so thrifty!
amy says
Lovely! I am curious about the paint colors you used in each room. Can you share?
Especially love the hallway! You have a beautiful home.
Ann-Marie says
Oh my goodness, I love EVERYTHING about this house! Such a cute couple with awesome names too! :)
Thanks for sharing! Now I’m totally inspired to go thrifting…
Lorrie says
I would have to say the kitchen is still my most favorite!
