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?
Kalyn says
Jordan, please start a blog and tell us how you made/where you bought everything! :) Your house is so gorgeous.
Amber Lee D. says
I loved the master bedroom and the bathroom…
Could I get the paint color for their bedroom? I am looking for a good gray.
Lindsey says
I would love to hear how they DIY those mirrors. It sounds complicated!
Stacey says
Wow. Simply gorgeous! My faves would have to be the hallway, office and guest room. I love the color combinations and how the different textures/styles play off of one another. They’ve given me loads of inspiration for my own home!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to try to match some gray Valspar chips and convince my hubby that the Ikea lotus fixture isn’t “butt ugly” (his words)…the man has NO taste, yet still, I love him ;o)
Alondra says
I have been looking FOREVER for a perfect gray and I think I found it in this gorgeous living room. Sherry, since Jordan can’t remember the color she used and you have a better eye than most of us when it comes to color, can you give a recommendation for a similar version using your fan deck? I’d so very much appreciate it!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Alondra,
We love Benjamin Moore’s Light Pewter (which can have a similar look depending on your lighting situation). Hope it helps!

Kerry says
Love the house. By the way, I am a singer, and most certainly consider myself a musician!
sarah says
I love all the mirrors! I agree that they can be my favorite accessory as well as a way to open up a room.
Carmen says
I am IN LOVE with the entire house!!!! I cannot believe that dining table was only $10!!!! Wow! You have a beautiful home, Landon and Jordan.
kelly says
that is a COOL house! my favorite part is the palette mirrors, i really want those!!! great job!!!!!!
Susan says
WOW!
That house is amazing!!!
Again…
WOW!
Jen @ The Decor Scene says
OMG their Home is gorgeous. What awesome inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Roshni says
I’m just ooh-ing and aah-ing looking at the place and the prices!!!
Amber says
This is my favorite house crashings yet! The dining room is one of my favorite spaces.
Is there a reason they have foregone area rugs? I don’t miss them looking at the pictures but I would trash my floors so quickly without mine!
Chrissy says
Beautiful! I’m off to the store to go get some Valspar gray paint chips. So inspiring!
Daria says
oh my gosh… I am IN LOVE with the mirrors.
Tiffany says
Love the bottles and the kitchen

Sabrina says
You have a lovely home! I’m always inspired by thrift store finds… its a great feeling to take a thrift store bargain and turn it into just the thing you were looking for!
Melissa says
Wow! They have a beautiful home! I checked out the link in their post, and they have the best music playing on their website. Any idea who that is and where I can download it?
YoungHouseLove says
No idea! Maybe comment over there to ask or stay tuned for that info here (if Jordan drops back in).
xo,

Sarah says
I love this couple’s kitchen redo! We are in the planning stages of redoing our kitchen and are going for a very similar style. We will paint the cabinets, replace the counter tops, sink, hardware, flooring, and wall color, and finally get new appliances (except the dishwasher). What I can’t figure out is in what order do we do all these things? Do we replace counter tops first and then paint or the other way around. Should the floor be last? Please give me your advice!!
YoungHouseLove says
There are definitely about a million ways to skin that cat so just do what makes the most sense for you. For example, some people do the floor before they get new appliances so it can be run all underneath them and then the new ones can be slipped in while other people believe in doing the floor dead last so it doesn’t get damaged. There are also varying theories on painting before or after the countertops go in so that’s something you can’t really go wrong with either since both ways can work. Perhaps Jordan will share the order that they followed for their kitchen reno!

Sara says
I love (love love love) how bright and cool toned everything is. We are doing our house in all whites and gray tones (the walls) while reserving the pops of color for artwork, furniture, etc. Sometimes I second guess myself because everyone seems to use all warm neutrals, but you pulled it off. Amazing job on the “cool” colors!
Charlotte says
What a gorgeous house! I would love to know some of the local sources for furniture and accessories (this from a fellow Columbia, SC, native!).
Alyssa says
Their house is stunning. I love all of the rustic wood, especially the mirrors. I also really like the window frame (?) on the shelf that’s behind the sofa.
Meg says
I love love love(!) the shades of grey on their walls, the huge mirrors (esp. the DIY frames), and the vintage chic feel of their entire space!
Meghan says
Love all the mirrors and clean lines. We pretty much have a matching kitchen and the same tile in our bathroom so I guess we have similar taste!
katie.kiNdess says
house swap? :)
Love the family room and entry way!
what is the color on the walls in both rooms?
Suzie @ cupcake monkey says
WOW! What an incredible inspiration!! This was a great way to start my weekend! The project wheels in my head are turning and I cannot wait to play around with things in our home!!!
Have a great weekend! :)
Heather says
I am so, SO in love with that kitchen. I adore the counters. So gorgeous.
Carla says
I have mirror and chair envy! Those chairs in the living room are so cool. The gray bedroom is making me so glad I chose gray for mine, and inspiring me to finish decorating – ASAP!
Anna Macfarlane says
I love and I mean LOVE that mirror in the kitchen, and in the front den… and in the bathroom. I am inspired by the ottoman as well. Great house!
Spread the love for this Sunday 10-10-10! It’s going to be momentous: http://ahhnna.blogspot.com/2010/10/10-things.html
erica gregory says
WOW WOW WOW! Love everything about it. Totally my colors! So inspired to keep working on my own house! Thanks for the amazing post!
dana says
woooooweeee! love!
Briel K. says
Lovely house! I love your homemade mirrors and the dining table!
Liz W says
Jordan & Landon,
I live 90 miles South of you in Charleston. I love your home! Can you comment on the light fixture in the hallway (if you haven’t already)? I recently looked at a rental that was not a good fit, but it had the same modern light fixture above the dining room table. I love it. Thanks- beautiful home!
rachel says
wow. beautiful house, and they seem like beautiful people too! god bless them!
Jessi says
My sister in law showed me your blog today. Amazing! I can only hope our house looks anything similar to yours in the near future!
Andrea says
Yay! People from my hood (aka, Columbia SC)!
Jen says
Holy cow! This is my favorite house crash Sherry and John have ever done! I love, love, love the sunny/airy and natural look of the whole place! Whenever we buy a place I think I’ll use this house as inspiration. :)
And awesome Craigslist/garage sale finds! I hate the idea of buying things new if there are equally awesome alternatives secondhand.
In fact, I loved it so much I had to go back again and look at the pictures twice while I was writing this comment!
Jenna says
I don’t see one thing about this house that I don’t absolutely love! It would be difficult to choose my favorite part. I guess the overall color palate and mix of modern and vintage pieces make it so fabulous.
Cathy says
Holy moly! That house is gorgeous! I love it all…especially the wine bottle chandelier and mirrors. Everything has been bookmarked for future inspiration and projects.
Nidia says
OMG!!!! Love love your entire house. I have to ask. How you begin a room? Do you have a vission? Or do you do it piece by piece and when you’re at the store you go “that would go perfect with….” ? Love everything.
Alexis C says
Georgous! I’m inspired! I would love if you shared the plans for those DIY pallet/closet door mirrors with the YHL readers. They are fantastic!
Lauryn says
can I also request a DIY tutorial for the suitcase side table? If they decide to do one about the mirrors :-)
Andrea | HomageStyle.com says
Love the house! Especially love the frame out mirrored closet doors & would REALLY LOVE to see a tutorial on framing the closet door!
Alyssa says
Love! & a tutorial on those closet doors turned mirrors in a must :)
Maggie says
LOVE those mirrors!
Monica says
OH MY WORD! What an epically adorable home! Great work guys! Keep it up!
Jordan says
Hi Everybody!
Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures of our mirror making! But it is super easy!
You just need your wood, a miter saw, and your mirror and L brackets. Draw out a template on paper and figure out the dimensions you would like your frame to be. Then just cut each piece at a 45 degree angle, put the pieces together with your L brackets! And from there we just used Gorilla glue to put the glass in place! Hopefully its not going anywhere anytime soon!!!
And to answer another question, our bungalow was built in 1940! Its in incredible shape! WE can’t believe how open our floorplan is for being such an old home. We fell in love with it the minute we walked in!
The Ikea light fixture in the hallway is great! I would say its pretty bright! And I think we have a lower watt bulb in the fixture!
AS for the music on our website… That is our dear friend Tyler Flowers! We found him about 2 years ago and have been great buds with him ever since! We love LOVE his music! Watch out for him! He’s going to be big someday soon! You can’t purchase his music yet, but I know he would love you to join his fan page on facebook!
Here’s our kitchen redo order – We painted walls first, painted cabinets, put in countertops, put in sink, put in backsplash, and sealed tile. This is in no certain order, just the order that it all happened in! I just took one step at a time in the order my budget would allow!
I hope I answered some questions!!
Thank you all for your sweet comments! It means so much to us! Im so glad we were able to share it with you guys, and share that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to create a nice casa! WOrk those thrift shops my fellow YHLBlogfollowers – they can be your best friend!

What a well-designed home! And what amazes me is it still feels completely comfortable. I love the eclectic and unique mix of items. Inspiring!
anna says
Has anyone already asked about wall colors? I love your choices! Mind sharing? (I didn’t see a response back about colors, but I might have missed it…)
