OUR FIXER UPPER + HOUSE TOUR : Adventuring Family of 11
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2019
- After 5 years of not owning a home and years of looking, we finally found our place. Except it Is not even close to ready to handle our family of 11 so we are preparing ourselves for a serious renovation and TONS of work to get it to where it needs to be.

Thanks for watching today's video, you guys! When I was editing this (Megan speaking) I felt like I came across as ungrateful and even a little snobby. One of the hard things about having a vlog is that you are filming your life as it happens. We were immensely stressed this day at the big purchase we had made and we wondered if we had paid too much or if we could make it into a home that would work for our family so I pessimistic and scared. It's been a few days and we've cleaned the house and feel a lot better about it. I promise I always work really hard to be authentic on these videos and sometimes that means I'm kinda crappy or at the very least I don't communicate my feelings very well.
Knorpp and South you're fine. relax. many blessings
.. thanks for clarifying... although in the end this is y'all's purchase..and y'all's house (to try to create the unique and 'perfect' home for all of YOU) i do believe that some viewers do not totally get that these blogs (although edited) are NOT scripted...and if a camera was to be peaking into "their" unedited unscripted daily lives...they may not be happy or 'proud' of what said camera would capture ...
as always knorpp family looking for/and excited about this new leg on y'all's life adventure ☮️&🌱's
You were totally fine. Honestly the fact that you are even concerned with your viewers feelings shows how kindhearted you are.
Well, you have lived in two very nice houses. Do not beat yourself up. I want to know the name of the town. Your location seems like somewhere I would love to live. I know you do not feel safe telling, though. I understand.
No worries, I'm very impressed that you chose this sweet little house, so many charming things about it 💓
I'm looking forward to watching Megan unleash her full creativity on this new home!
35 years ago my sister and I bought a old farm house. My mother hated it. We bought it for the 200 yr old barn, We redid the whole house it is a 150 yrs old we added a whole addition bigger than the original, I raised my girls here on the farm. My youngest moved back home because she missed the horses, This little farm was the best move we ever made. ❤️
I love Andrew. He walks in the front door and says “It’s perfect. We can move in now!” He is so like his mother. 😆
You're totally gonna go all Chip and Joanna Gaines on that house
I grew up with a family of ten in 1900 sq ft home and we did fantastic. I miss that house and so does my siblings. It will be great once everything is completed. Many blessings for this new project!
“Is that curtains over curtains over blinds?!” 😂 Mike’s tone totally made me crack up!
But, I love it! Your house reminds me of one of the first homes my husband & I lived in when we were first married; very cozy and I loved it! Good luck with the renovations! I’m ecstatic that you’re making your dreams come true!
Since your family frequently has guests maybe you can have a small guest house in the yard not attached to the main house? I remember Andrew really wanted a secluded writing space so it could act as a writing space or office the rest of the time when you want a quiet space to do podcasts or livestreams etc.
Rewatching this video and seeing how the house is being renovated is amazing!!
I've commented only a few times and I'm sure I've said this at least once, but seriously the partnership between you two is just so great. I love the way the two of you are architects of your life together and you're fine to rejig plans as detours arise. It's just awesome. And then the humour you share with one another it's so obvious how much you two talk and understand one another. So respectful of your differences and sincerely enjoying one another. Awesome to observe. Congratulations on the new journey ahead!
I think you're going to love a smaller space. Plus, with having so many in their teen years, your children will be growing up and moving on really soon and a large space won't be as necessary.
The more space in a house it takes more money to cool it & heat it . Also more to keep clean etc. etc ..
Ohhh you could totally make a treehouse library, that would be my childhood dreams come true.
Steve Nelson from Tree House Masters from Washington State could eventually build them an awesome Tree House Library . I love watching his TV programs . He builds them all over the world .
OOPS ! His first name is Pete not Steve .
100% build an off grid tiny house at the end of the garden! the boys would love that/it could double up as a bedroom!
Or a nice tree house built by Steve Nelson from Tree House Masters . He's from Washington State . He has some of his own tree houses .
I loved Eve's first reaction when she walked into the kitchen from the side door. She shivered. It was like she was saying we're moving from a 5* house into a dog of a house.
Mama Reed Kids can’t be fooled.’
The house is charming and the backyard its beautiful! Great purchase you guys! We too are a large homeschooling family and just downsized to a much smaller house and yard. We had a large country home with acreage and wanted to give our kids a sense of community as well. We had been thinking about selling our property for awhile but fear kept us from doing it. But.....God had other plans and created a move out of necessity. So here we are in a little subdivision in a smaller house in a cute town with so much history for our kiddos to learn and enjoy! Looking forward to the renovation!
Oh my gosh I can’t wait for this!!! 👏
I love the way Mike looks at you every time you talk!
I love how yall follow your hearts and live life to the fullest.
I love hearing from someone else who has lived in the country, considered homesteading, but in the end, realized they want their kids to have the social aspect of living in a little town. We've been out in the country for 10 years now, and just bought a house on the edge of a tiny town with an acre. We're still working on it, so we aren't living in it, yet. But, I think it will be a really great balance! Good luck on your reno!
What an exciting adventure 😀
Can’t wait to watch the transformation unfold 🧡
I AM SO STOKED.....WOW....WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FIND!!!! This is going to be AMAZING.....REALLY TRULY. It is like a miracle....to be in the town of your dreams. You will make it shine....and you will have days in the process, when you will want to tear your hair out...stamp, stomp and cry. Oh our lovely Megan.....you could never be anything but authentic...in all your myriad of ways. The section is to die for...just glorious. This dear 60's home will be so so happy to be loved and dressed up.....and filled with all the love ONLY a Knoprp household can bring. Your Japanese bathroom set upstairs....is SO SANE....EXCELLENT. Do not fret about room....later you could add on a studio etc . My face is sore from smiling....and I just know 100 per cent how gorgeous you will make it. Many blessings you lovelies. P.S. Feel free to vent and rage in the process if needed....WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS. HUGS.
Congratulations! I look forward to seeing it all come together. What fun. Thank you for sharing with us. Keep on keeping on!
Love the home can't wait to see what you do🙏🏾
Biggest mistake I ever made was going from a 990 sq ft, 2bd/1ba home to a 3600 sq ft, 4bd/3ba "dream" home as soon as I could afford it... Just because you CAN afford to buy something doesn't mean you SHOULD buy it. And there's something to be said for a cozy home with walls vs the big, open floor plans that are so popular these days. I really believe people can lose each other in spaces that are too big. I sure miss that little 990 sq ft house and all the happy, carefree, memories we made there. Lesson learned. Congrats on your new home Knorpps, it's perfect! -PJ
Super excited for the new adventure you guys are on!
So happy for you all! You will love making it just what you want. Congratulations!❤️
Can’t wait to see how Megan’s creativity comes alive in this house! Good luck... praying for y’all!
This in my opinion is actually great for you're kids. They will be able to adapt anywhere. I moved a lot as a kid. Under very different circumstances but it made me brave
This is going to be exciting to watch - love how intentional you both are - congrats it’s going to be great !
I'm so excited for all of you!! During your tour all I saw were a million different ways you can create your dream home from that space. And you're making a library room!! Yaay!! Not sure if you remember my comment from your video a few days ago when I said how my husband & I created/designed a mini-library using one of the rooms in our home and we absolutely LOVE it. Floor to ceiling book shelves, comfy western-style futon with oversize pillows and a super comfy armchair make it the perfect reading sanctuary. It also doubles as a study as we have a desk in the room too and we spend sooo much time in there both together and separately. Bottom line, you won't regret creating your own library room and it will bring you so much joy. So excited for you guys!!! 😊
Love it! It will be so fun watching your transformation. I did a 1960' s farm house, that looks much like yours a while back, and love it. It was a fun process, look forward to reliving it thru you...
“Buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy ride”😜
I love how you really examine what you're doing and why and are so willing to change your minds to really get what you want. Really looking forward to following this new adventure.
The house looks much better than I had expected .
Good luck with the remodel
Can’t wait to see the end result - I’m sure it will be fantastic! One thing I didn’t hear you mention was a powder room downstairs for guests. Depending on the type of staircase you incorporate, you may be able to put one under there.
Yes! My thoughts exactly.
Good luck! Can't wait to see it all coming together for you x
Congratulations, Knorpps! I’m excited to see what you guys will do with the space. I already know it will be awesome because you have great style!
The house is quite charming. I LOVE the back yard and I am sure the neighborhood is amazing. Looking forward to the renovation and seeing your creativity shine!
Thanks so much for sharing. I for one am pretty excited for this journey. Since we live in the country, and I grew up far from a town, totally agree, its hard to shuttle kids around when one wants to go here, and another there. Good job Knorpps, we are all waiting to see the process. Am a lover of small places, you can make this work !
I hope it is as fun to fix as it will be to watch!! :) Megan is so talented for interior design I can't wait! We will get rid of the whole kitchen but keep the cabinet pulls!! LOL!!
So exciting! Congrats!! We’re downsizing too - very soon. Can’t wait to see what you do with your new space.
It's going to be awesome to see the outcome of it. I hope you do step by step videos of the work you do on it. I love the back yard, its huge. Congratulations on your new home and your new journey!
Congratulations. You are not snobby Megan. I always get stressed when I commit to something big. I think it is natural. I am so pleased for you all. Xxxxxx Margaret
So, So, Excited for your family! Congrats!! I'm excited to see what you do :)
I can’t wait to see what you do with this house! No doubt it’ll be absolutely gorgeous when you’re done!! 🥰🥰
Meghan - Its OK! You're human my dear - and this will work out just fine- yes its stressful, yes its challenging, yes its so busy with your beautiful family, but in the end it's your life/lives and your decision/s. Really thank you to you and Mike for sharing what you do, and frankly, as an Aussie I don't get how invasive (and rude) some folks are in their commentaries! You are generously sharing your world, and I hope that people watching this and all your vlogs/blogs will understand that you owe NOBODY any explanations about your decisions at the end of the day! Good Luck, and Many Blessings to all of you, and may happiness, and success and good fortune follow you all, whatever path you choose. xx
Yay...finally found y'all again..great to see how your kiddos are growing and thriving.
Slow down a little. Give yourselves time to thank. You can do so much to your new house. You did so much with your little RV and it looks beautiful. You have a lot more space in your house. I know you all can work miracles with small spaces. Lovely home. Enjoy your new adventure.
Not at all what I would expect you to buy. I was expecting a huge private nature filled yard not a neighborhood. Can’t wait to see what it becomes.
I had those same cabinets years ago When I lived at home! Also, had that wall paper! I can’t wait to see the final ! Congratulations!
What a loverly little house. Can’t wait to see how u make it into a family home to suit ur needs. At least it can be a family project and might be fun all of u doing it 😊.
What an exciting new project! Looking forward to how it takes shape.
I’m so excited to watch the renovation process!
I live in a mid century home and have the same built in kitchen cabinets. I totally understand your critiquing of the house. You are deconstructing to make it yours. We also gutted our 50’s bathrooms as we needed to update all the plumbing and electric. We downsized almost in half when we purchased in the city and love the cozy feel you are talking about. We also appreciate the convenience factor of being so close to everything. You will have the “kool-aid” house. Congratulations 🎉
How about having your stair case built as an add on to your house so you do not lose any floor space! You could surround it with windows to allow more light to flow into the upstairs and downstairs rooms. Maybe pop some indoor trees around the staircase that you can decorate for each season. Make sure that mud room is large enough to hold multiple wash/dryers and large enough to place a deep freezer and large pantry for food storage from the garden that you can plant on your property. This is a great location for you all. I will be praying for your family.
You know, when you have the means, checking off bucket list items is everyone's dream.
I see people getting so persnickety about the Knorpp's choices when we all wish we could move out and travel and Reno and travel more. ❤️
Also! You can totally do 1800sqft.
I grew up in 1200 and am the oldest of 6 kids WITH ONE BATHROOM.
you all will be fine!
🥰🥰🥰
LOL @ "Persnickety". What a fabulous word! lol
I was the oldest of four children & we only had one bathroom also . We made it work w/o any problems .
It’s almost over and I can’t wait to watch you renovate your “Tiny House for a not so tiny family.” Congratulations on your new space 💟
What a great challenge it’s going to be great to see what you do! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I really like the retro green bathroom. It will be fun to watch the house change. Congratulations!
I am sooooo excited to watch this adventure unfold!!!!!
Wow I didn’t not see this coming! But I’m excited to watch Megan work her magic
i love how excited you both are, im so please for you and your family, your plans sound amazing, looking forward to the transformation xc
I am so happy for you! Congratulations! I love smaller homes and you get to put your on touch on it. Remind s me of where my husband and I grew up. And much like where we live now. It’s the smart thing to do. We bought a foreclosed home in a cute little town two yrs ago. And we love it. We have a farm about an hour away so if we need to get away we can. Our plans got all turned around too. It happens and I’m glad it did this time. You will make this a nice home. And as is it’s perfectly fine. Love the yard! God bless your family, Leslye
This is exciting! Can't wait to see how it all unfolds. Seems like great plans
How exciting, your new home🏡! Nice to see it all! I already know: it will be nice and cozy! I'm looking forward to the renovation videos, yippieh👌 😍! Best regards 🇩🇪 🥰
Can’t wait to see your touch on this place 😍 your styling is the best
How exciting!! I'm excited for your new adventure!
How exciting ! Meghan you are in your element - I see the wheels turning and your eyes are sparkling, lol love the bathroom idea- brilliant for any size Family!
So Excited! Have fun with it!
Congratulations and the very best of luck with it all.
This remodel will be fun to watch. You two keep us on our toes! You are fun to watch.
I’m so excited for your new adventure and can’t wait to see the progress! The back yard is fantastic!
I LOVE how ambitious y'all are, I can't wait to see what this becomes, I know it's going to be amazing because it's you guys
I am so excited for you guys! I'm so looking forward to seeing the house take shape. The back yard looks like a very generous space.
So exciting! I can only imagine the the cute, creative and functional way you will build this house to be! Yay! 🏡
I can’t wait to see what you do with this place! It’s going to be quite a transformation!
The storage room off of the kitchen is *perfect* for the ham radio shack! I can only imagine all of the wonderful HF & U/VHF antennas could enjoy utilizing that back yard and its trees. :)
You are a wonderful family 😊 I am looking forward to all your renovating videos!!!! Thanks for sharing .
So excited for your family! Congrats! Looking forward to the reno process!
I'm excited to see the process begin.
Congratulations! This is such an exciting adventure to come for you and your family! 🎉🎉🎉

Congrats Megan and mike! Can’t wait to see another new journey!! I’m so excited! Love you guys!
Excited to see what you guys do with it. I’m sure it’ll look amazing when you are done.
I can't wait to see how renovated house will look. I'm happy for you guys. Love from Slovenia, Vanda
Awesome that you are finding your happiness! Congrats!
Somehow the Command hook cracked me up! 🤣
Meagan's got a project !
Hahaha...you can see the rxcitment in your eyes as well as thinking thinking.
Congradulations ! Beautiful yard.
Living close to town is a God send for children. Im very happy for your latest adventure
I’m so excited about this ❤️

Congrats! I'm so excited to see the project unfold.
Very excited to watch the renovation on your new house,cant wait!! Congrats!!
Its amazing, you guys so made the right decision. I wish you all the luck in the world. xx
Our house looks just like that, even the kitchen and we love it! A little sad when you said it is no nice because for us is a lot...
Our kitchen, closets and bathroom is like living on the 60's...
You are right! I love the kitchen with solid wood cabinets, beautiful hardwood floors, and the retro bathroom tile (hope they leave it), and it's a great use of space!
Yeah, listening to them “trash” the house was sad.
I guess it must be nice to have money, just can't relate... we haven't been able to buy a dishwasher in all these years because of the cost and paying someone too.
Boohoo
I hear you, some people don't realize how they sound. "Piece of junk house"' oh jeez. Trashing houses and neighborhoods, they just need to take a moment & think first. It kills me with shelf cooking too. These people have multiple freezers full of food and some can hardly put food on their table. Some people just don't get it & some just make a mistake.
Congrats! I can’t wait to watch the progress! We have a home built in 1940 that we’ve added to, but is still 3 bedrooms for our family of 6 and some people have told us we need more. I don’t feel that way, we are living the lifestyle we want by being in an urban area and being a part of our community and our kids are growing up in a city and not in isolation. I wouldn’t trade our situation at all, we’ve lived here for 15 years and our kids know nothing else. You will have fun making it into exactly what suits your needs!!
I think it's cool to get into your dream neighborhood which has very few houses for sale...location is everything... Can't wait to see what old and what new you'll be melding together to make your dream home watching this will be a fun ride.
So excited to see how the house changes and becomes more Knorpp-ified
Congrats!!! You can always add an unit on your land for things like art, work or study.
I just love how you turned this house around! I wanted to look back at the beginning because I had forgotten the before picture. I know that you have a ways to go but wow! You’re doing an amazing job!
