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?
Daria says
I am speechless. I want to move in with them. May I?
Bethany says
Wow. Wow. Wow!
I might want Jordan and Landon to be my new best friends! I <3 craigslist, and mirrors and now their house! (Not that I don't heart young house too!) :)
I would like to offer them the opportunity to do it all over again and I'll just take their stuff off their hands for them so they have a fresh, clean start!
heather says
Please allow me to wipe off the drool from the floor.
My eyes popped out of my head a few times when reading the cost of some of their projects- like the dining room and the big mirror, that stuff looks EXPENSIVE and I am shocked at how cheap they were (or free!) What a deal! Kudos to them x 100!
Stacey says
Love love love the hallway with the two chairs! The whole house is a DIY inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Pamela says
Wow I LOVE this house, how it seamlessly incorporates rustic with modern, this is the style I want to achieve in my house so thanks for sharing!!
Mary says
Love it all! Could you share your paint colors?
Nadia says
Wow!! I loved every bit of this!!!! Is there any way we can get any info on the paint colors??? Is it blue or gray?? I’ve been trying to convince the hubs that gray doesn’t have to look “cold,” now I can show him this as a perfect example!
Cara says
WOW! I love it ALL but my favorite detail is that exposed brick wall in the tiny bathroom – so very rustic chic (kind of a theme in this house, no?) and I love the juxtaposition of old brick with a shiny new bathroom sink and mirror. J&L didn’t even call attention to that wall (probably because it wasn’t DIY or thrifted) but it caught my eye right away!
Steph @ Birdhouse Family says
Wow! What an unbelievable space! I love all the rustic elements and DIY touches. The colors are gorgeous. It looks very chic and inviting at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
Sarah says
I am soooo jealous…I love your space :O) Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all!
Amber says
I love this little tour- amazing home. Truely inspiring for those of us who like to decorate on a budget.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE share that wonderful grayish paint color in your office, hall, and living room. Is that all the same color?
Jamie Zintgraff says
Oh, I love love love all the huge mirrors! The wine bottles have to be a favorite of mine as well. The creativity put into everything in this house, smart buys, and DIY projects show everything off so perfectly! Thanks for sharing! Many inspirations for my own house.
Gina at Temporary Nest says
I love this house!! But I love the dining room most of all. That would be my dream dining room… electic, interesting, chic and cheap!! :)
Kevin M says
Great home! I’d love to know the paint color in the spare bedroom (with the orange curtains), it would look great in our bedroom.
I love the pallet frames, totally going to steal that idea. I even have a leftover pallet in my garage from our tile delivery a few months ago.
Tracy Lee says
I love the craft room, with the guitar! I love the turquoise blue accents on all that white to keep it from looking too, er, white washed, LOL! And $5 for the craft table? I need to peruse craigslist and go thrift shopping more often apparently!
It’s a shame hanging my husband’s saxophone on the wall isn’t nearly so chic LOL… maybe I’ll have to just find a way to work that in! It’s just sitting in its case in the closet right now. I feel like I should find a way to display it! Since it cost more than all the furniture in our house combined, LOL!
YoungHouseLove says
So glad you guys are loving their house as much as we are! Here’s hoping they stop in to answer all your questions!
xo,

Kristy D. says
L-O-V-E it! Congratulations on a lovely home. It looks effortless and comfortable. Bravo!
Wendy says
I LOVE the paint colors… so light, but still with substance, could they possibly share some specs?
megan @ a life's design says
I think this is one of my favorite house crashers yet! Fabulous job to both of them!
Ann Marie says
I love everything about this home. I love how relaxed AND stylish it seems. Everything is so chic, but I wouldn’t be afraid to put my feet up and relax. That is a difficult balance, but they did a great job!
Ana says
What a great house! I can’t really pick a favorite thing.
What is the age of the home itself? Just curious because I can’t tell — that’s how well it’s updated and decorated.
Lisa says
What a surprise to see someone featured from my own hometown “Columbia”. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. The two of you are very talented.
alynelle says
Very lovely!! Where did you get all the wonderful tealish pillows in your living room?
Tiffany T. says
Holy Mother of pearl…I love your house so much..I’m so inspired I’m going to the Goodwill right after work!
kat says
Gorgeous! I love the whole palette. I wish I could live there! They are experienced thrifters :D
Any idea where that ottoman in the dining room originally came from? it looks familiar.
joanna says
What a beautiful home. Love it! Also, here’s another request for paint colors, please!
JordanThompson says
Hi Everybody! Please don’t kill me! I am totally not organized enough to keep info on all of the pain colors in our home…eeee!!! Im so sorry… I can tell you this though… almost everything besides the dining room – which is sage bud by valspar – is some sort of shade of gray! My all time favorite paint is Valspar!!! MMMmmmgood! I feel like you can’t pick out a bad paint color with Valspar! Just go grey shopping in their paint section – I think its pretty hard to go wrong with gray! If I ever want to change out colors its so simple- grey goes with everything… and it makes everything feel fresh and chic! Lets see… someone mentioned something about my black cat… his name is Tux… and he is a big pit bull :) that comment gave me a bit of a chuckle… One thing I did want to mention, is that we plan on either changing out the wood around the dining room lighting, or fixing it so that you can see up into the box and cords. Im sorry it wasnt dont before these pictures were taken! And yes, sometimes I look at our spare-bedroom and think Ide rather sleep in here every night… Ok… i think thats it for now! Ill be back later!
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for dropping in with that info Jordan!

Jaimie says
Holy smokes! What a beautiful home!
Emily @ The Happy Home says
what a gorgeous home! i’m SOOOOOOoooooo stealing the wine bottle chandelier idea!
Ashley says
What would you call this style? Eclectic Rustic Revival? Whatever it is, I love it :)
Ashley says
Two words…pillow talk. The accent pillows are abundant, but so well chosen/made and placed.
hi-d says
It all is beautiful and put together so well. It looks like something straight from the pages of a magazine!
Sara says
I love all the mirrors and the wine bottle chandelier. What great ideas.
I’ve been dying to overhaul our house and I just grabbed some great inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing!
Natalie M. says
I LOVE this house. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Allyson says
Love the mirrors framed with reclaimed wood pallets!! Do you think Jordan and Landen would be willing to do a DIY post on that?
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Allyson,
We’d love to feature the post if they’re down! Fingers crossed…
xo,

KK says
All of it. Every little detail. I love all of it. SO MUCH.
Jen says
I could seriously look at this post over and over and find more reason’s to love their abode!
Thanks so much for sharing, I am feeling incredibly inspired!
xoxo,
Jen
ginnie says
i remember that kitchen! i love it and the rest of their house.
Brooke Elgin says
Love your house! Where did you get the mirror in the little bathroom that’s silver? I’m crossing my fingers it’s a DIY or really cheap. I love it and would like to figure out a way on the cheap to get one like it in our master bath to replace the gigantic sheet mirror on the wall. I’m thinking of taking it down and cutting it in two then making a frame from crown moulding. Problem is, even that stuff isn’t cheap anymore!
Leanne says
The guest room, so cozy! And I love that the curtains came from goodwill.
Lonely Wife Project says
Seriously, one of the most amazing homes you’ve ever showcased. I, too, am in love with mirrors and that old rustic wood. *big fat sigh*
kristin says
Jordan, your home is gorgeous… if you make it back, would you share what year it was built and the style of the architecture? I don’t know what to call it, but it reminds me of my uncle’s house in VT and I just find it so calming. I LOVE the little space between the crown molding and the ceiling. Thanks!
Kelly says
Love your style! Props to you for all the DIY!!!
Jill says
Really love the mirror idea. I find them to be so expensive, but I love the DIY idea of using mirrored closed doors! Wonderful.
Y says
Beautiful!!! So light and airy! Regarding the Lotus pendant – does it give off enough light, possibly for a dining area? I bought the eden pendant from CB2, also one bulb, and everyone is telling me it’ll be too dim. My contractor says I need at least a three bulb fixture over the table. Anyone have the Ikea Lotus or the CB2 Eden pendant and can help me out? Thanks!!
Courtney M says
Jordan – absolute gorgeousness! Would you mind giving a short tutorial of sorts on how you guys made those large mirrors? I know you gave the source for materials, but just wondering about assembling it. Thanks!
Leah E-H says
Oh, how lovely! Do you have a tutorial on the wine bottle chandelier? That is such an awesome project!
JUDY says
Lovely house! Great work! Just wondering where you got that gorgeous blue mirror from above your fireplace!
susan says
Great job Landon and Jordan. Inspirational on a budget. Does it get any better?
Kristin says
It’s all beautiful! My favorite is the guest room, but I have a question about the end tables in the living room…
Did you buy vintage suitcases and ADD legs, or were there actually suitcases with fold-out legs at some point before rolling ones were invented?
I’m trying to come up with some end tables for my house, and this seems like a fun idea. I’d love a bit more information.
Thanks!

Love it! Beautiful home.
