House Tour - The Mikesell Family

So come on in. So now you are in mine and Brock's bathroom. All right, here is Brock's little room over here. And now we're in Alyssa's room. Look what Boston's got over here. He has the elastic bands and he'll do back flips. ♪ Hold up, I am on my way, I'm in motion. ♪ ♪ Let's go to the ocean, yeah let's go outside. ♪ All right, what has been the video that people have been requesting from us? The house tour. Like, not even close. Everybody's like, do a house tour, do a house tour. We're gonna do a house tour. So, here we go. So, come on in. Even though we are already in when we talk about it. We just went out. We just went out the front door, I'll show you. So this is just the front entry area. So you kind of can look up, see upstairs. It's like when they go to the prom, that's the stairs they walk down. So this is my slot. And originally when we built the house, I still thought that I might wanna do hair a little bit, which has been nice because I still do all the family's hair. And Alyssa just started hair school. So Alyssa started doing hair school, but she also did eyelashes. So this right here is like the table that pulls out. And then she uses this light. Sometimes the kids use it for our videos, but Alyssa uses it while she does eyelashes. And then the hair chair here. And just a closet full of messy stuff. Let's not open that. Okay, so this room is meant to be an office, but because all of us have YouTube channels, we end up doing both of our computers here, and then we will bring in laptops and work on all the YouTube videos together as a family. We always have to like plug in so that everyone's not listening to each other's videos as we're trying to edit. Oh, one quick note. We had to take down, Gentry wrote a note that's like, these doors close, so close them. Because the kids would always leave them open. Like, anyway. Okay, this is our most used room. And I think you'll see a lot of videos with this. This is the family room. I love it because I feel like it's an open area that everyone can visit. One thing we didn't do was put a TV in here. And I feel like it's nice because then everyone sits and talks a little bit more. It doesn't feel as noisy, and it doesn't get as messy because people will just sit here and eat and watch TV. So, that was my trick. Okay, so this is our dining table. This is what we had from our very first house. And we all just loved it, so we kept it. And I know it's nothing cute or pretty, but I think it's just that there's so many memories with this table that we decided to keep it. And I love having benches because when the kids were little, they could just all climb up here and sit with all their friends. Everybody could fit on the table. The other thing that I like, this is actually a funny story. So, this bench, Brock and Boston were standing on this bench when they were little, and Brock pushed Boston, and they were both wearing the footy slippers. So, that is how Boston, Brock was like, Brock pushed Boston. And here's the kitchen. Really, there's nothing too terribly exciting about the kitchen, but it's my favorite place. So, we did drawers because I feel like it's easier to access everything when you have drawers rather than cupboards, and then you have to go over each of the things. So, that was one thing that we decided to do. The other thing we did was I wanted to have a really big pantry because I just feel like even if you have food storage and stuff, there just needs to be a place, and if the food storage is downstairs, no one ever goes to get it. So, we did a pretty big pantry for us. This is a big pantry. And we wanted to have a fridge in here because Gentry and I like to drink a little bit of soda. It's okay, it's not good for you. It's more her than me, but. No, it's Gentry. So, we put a lot of soda in here. And it's nice just to have an extra place to put stuff. And so, then this is the pantry. So, this goes out to the garage. So, then we have just like a little powder bath right here. So, that's that. The other thing that I love is I wanted cupboards for everybody. So, everybody has their own little locker to put their junk. And if I open it, you'll see what a mess everybody is. Boston. He has a Dr. Pepper in there. He does? Yeah. Oh my gosh, he's the weirdest kid. The things he clothes. The other thing that we love is drinking fountains. So, we had a drinking fountain in our old house and it was nice because when they were little they had sippy cups all day long. And I kept, they'd get sippy cups out and then they'd leave. So, I'd go put them in the dishwasher and then they'd come back and ask for another one. So, we did a drinking fountain in our old house and I loved it. So, we did it in this house. And this one has a water filler like for your water bottles. And I love that so that I can just refill my water bottles when I'm not drinking that Dr. Pepper. The main laundry room is upstairs and the plan had it so that there was a washer and dryer in my closet. But I didn't want a washer and dryer taking up space in my closet. So, I put it here. And I wanted something so if the kids came in muddy or snowy that they could just bring their clothes in and it would go right into the laundry room. Welcome to our bedroom. So, this is our bedroom. And if you follow Betty's you might recognize this bed because we have a couple of different photos on our website. And because this is our zippered bedding. So, I'm gonna show you how it works. So, the nice thing, a lot of people don't realize that he gets kids bedding. But I love it for adult beds because it stays nice and tucked in. So, when you wanna get in, unzip. And then to make the bed. What a great invention. These are the new pillows that we just got. And they're actually just being launched. Oh no, they did last, we launched them like a week ago. Anyway, it's pretty exciting. This is where Gentry and I usually watch TV is in here. And that's my favorite thing in the whole room. Let's go to the bathroom. So, this is my little get ready area. I do my makeup and stuff there. And then this is just our... Hey Gentry, you wanna show your favorite part? This is my favorite part. When you walk in the room at night, imagine it being like totally black, right? And you're walking into the bathroom at night. When you walk in, it automatically opens for you. The light illuminates. And then also, there's a pre-mist that goes around the bottom of the toilet, which is amazing. Well, the pre-mist is the mist that sprays on the outer of the toilet, so there's nothing left. So it's always... So poo doesn't stick to the sides. Oh, don't say that on camera. Basically, stuff, but it does. It makes it so clean and so nice and you feel fresh. Because here's the reality, is if you have a bird pooped on your arm, would you just wipe it with a cloth? Like a dry cloth? No, you would get it wet and you'd wash it. That's basically what this is. Favorite thing in the house. Do you wanna show the rest of this bathroom? This is a really nice sink and faucet. Actually, I do love the shower. Okay. The shower. All right. So this is my favorite thing. So we have... Oh, you wanted that there so you could... Shave. That was... But I put that plastic thing there because it got cold when I sit down, because it's like, this tile stuff is cold, so I thought that made it feel a little bit warmer. Yeah. So there's our shower. The reason why we like it is we don't have to wipe anything down. Yeah, that is nice. Because the door is so far over that we don't wash it. Don't show my side of the closet. Why? Because it's messy. Just show your side. My side's messy, probably. Actually, I forgot about that. You have all of your shoes, all the way to the top. I like shoes a little bit. You might have a problem. And then, Jen's side of the closet. It's just too messy. They don't wanna see that anyway. Whatever. They're not interested in my stuff. I'll have 500 hats. He avoided that. This is the loft area, and I want you to look at this right here. It's a shelf that we bought when we moved in, and I asked Gentry to put it up. But he didn't think it should go here, but I think it'll look really nice. Just not committed to it yet. You know, over that. Well, if you think both... I've been busy doing a lot of other things, though. Both of you think we should put that up. Caught up on all my Netflix. And this is the laundry room. This is the main laundry room, but this is actually the one that the kids use. The one that Gentry and I use is downstairs, because we make our kids do their own laundry. You have to do your own laundry. Okay, now to our basement. So this is the area that the kids kind of play, hang out, watch TV, because we don't have a TV upstairs. So, this is where it's at. I think we have future plans of maybe putting, I don't know, a ping pong table or something there. Ping pong pool, something. Something like that. And this is just the... Guest bedroom. And guess what we're doing in here? Prepping for photo shoots for Betty's with all of that stuff. Oh, we have one more bathroom. Oh, that's right. So, we already showed, this is the drinking fountain. So that when the kids are playing basketball, down in the basement, they can just come in here, get a drink, and then they don't have to come upstairs and bug us. And, the bathroom. You catch Brock's shoes right there? Let's see. Brock likes to leave his shoes everywhere. So, that's really it. Okay, so now you are in mine and Brock's bathroom. This is Brock's thing, and then this is my sink. It's super nice because, like this splits between our bedrooms. So, there's his bedroom right over here. Over here, you have my bedroom, which is nice. And then, this is also our bathroom with our shower curtain. I like it so much. Oh, by the way, we got this from Midway. I don't really know what it is, but it's a decoration on a toilet. Yeah, let's head into my room, guys. Okay, so in my room, well, for my room part, I'm not gonna give you guys a detailed type of look because we're gonna do a room tour for my channel. So, I'll just kind of give you the overall. So, you walk in from here, you have my nice rug I love so much. I think we got it from Target. I haven't really thought, so this is like my drawers area. I just wanted to use it for like storage, which I might get rid of it if we're gonna like remodel stuff. Well, like not remodel, but redecorate our rooms. And then, I didn't know what to write for this, but I'm so excited for Summer Nails. I'll stick something for Climber Con, so I just wrote that. And then, there's some booklets that I don't even know why. And then, if you come on into my closet. Whoa, Taylor's messing up. Okay, so this is my closet. Then, I have my nightstand here. I love it so much. And then, we have my new Brock's bed with our buddies. Can you guys guess which one is which? Comment below. Then, we have my nightstand. We still need to figure out this part. And then, we have my nice and comfy chair. All right, here is Brock's little room over here. So, this is my bed right here. This is where I sleep. I got some awesome beddies. It zips right on open and glides, and you just tuck underneath it, and then, you're ready for bed. Over here, I just have some little decor here, chargers, everything. Your LED lights falling. Oh, my LED lights on the edge of my bed. Yeah, they kind of look bad, because I didn't really decorate it enough. And we should have thought about that before. Okay, so in my closet, I just have clothes. Hats, trophies. Hats all over, trophies up there, bins of stuff that I have. And then, switch clothes, sweatshirts, and yeah. Not bad. Tell me about this corner. Oh, this corner, it has some pretty flyer stuff. So, up at the very top, you can't see, but that's a hat that I have, and then, I got stuff, you see VX Live, and that's all up there. And then, right up here, I can't see what's on that one, because I don't know if there's anything, but I have shoes right here. I have more shoes, and my basketball shoes. Basically, shoes, hats, masks. Yes, shoes, and masks. And then, into your bathroom that you share with your brother. Okay. Nice, Brock. We like it. Thanks. Okay, so you come into here. We have our staircase down into the basketball court, which is right there. But over here, we have the best swimming fountain ever. It's so nice. Okay, Brock, that's, Brock! Don't do that, you're gonna have to clean that up. Brock, don't do that. So, then we also have a little store for the juniors that come. Then in here, we have a toilet. Brock, we have a toilet in here where you can go to the bathroom, you can wash your hands, and then you can do peace signs in the mirror. So yeah, this is kind of the basic part of it, but yeah, let's go downstairs while Brock is making faces in the mirror. Dun, da, da, dun! Here we go. All right, I do love the basketball court. It's probably my favorite piece in here, but look what Boston's got over here. He has the elastic bands, and he'll do back flips. Dun, da, dun! The basketball court. All right, so as you step over here, this is our first basketball hoop, and as you come over here, those are my basketball hoops. You didn't show Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan's the coolest. Oh, that guy just ended right here doing his signature move. Yeah, this is our little basketball hoop, and if you just step on this one, then we play a full court like this. And we're looking right over here. These do go down to, I think, like six feet. No, they go to like five foot. And then over here, we have, well, that's like the ball rack where we can put balls right there. And then this is the workout area. It's nice because it's like right under here, and it's like not really in the way, except we do get the mirrors hit with the balls a ton, and so we're gonna have to figure something out with that. If you guys have any ideas, comment that down below. But yeah, this is the workout area. Brock's gonna do a quick trick on the elastic bands. Well, he'll show you in a second. And then you walk up here onto the ladder, and then Brock, take them up there. As you come up here, you guys see garbage everywhere. And yeah, it's just super gross down here just because we've been trying to clean it out and get all of our games and stuff. Then Boston's been opening stuff up here. I don't know what he's been opening, but yeah. Looks like eye contact stuff, but that's all of that. And then our old Nintendo's up here. And then the deck, looking over the court. All right, and then I can go down the little stairs because it's awesome. But this is seriously the best part. I love this thing up, and yeah. And I love the hoop too and everything that's in here. It's just amazing. Hey guys. And now we're in Alyssa's room. Welcome to my room. So, it's not really much. I have my bed in here. Got my buddy's bedding on my bed. And then I have a bathroom over here. I have a little vanity area where I get ready to do my makeup and hair in the morning. And then I have my shower over here. Just basically what I'm wearing. And your sink. And my sink. Brush your teeth. All right. Okay, so this is the end of the Microsoft family video. We hope you guys enjoyed this house tour because you guys have been asking for it.
