I was going to do a little prologue at the beginning of the vid explaining how I intended to use MTV Cribs as my inspiration for this home tour (please note kicky, overplayed music accompaniment) but felt rather ugly and unmotivated this morning. For that, I apologize.
But hell, this video tour of my new house is so fantastic that I really shouldn't have to apologize for anything.
Enjoy and keep in mind that none of the furnishings are mine. Mine will be better. Obviously.
(At the beginning it says "watch out suburbs", unfortunately too small for compressed video. If you click over to the actual YouTube page then you can click on a high quality option.)
Don't miss a post!

Um. Amazing. A-freaking-MAZING.
[The house and the video.]
Congrats! I can't wait until I get a house again!
It's pretty spiffy!
hahahahaha why am i not surprized that Newf likes those colours...? i can be pretty tacky at times, but that one is beyond me!
however, we all know that room has a purpose ('leigh's playroom!!')
and that backyard is f--king enormous!!!! shit, i see you and i, drinking martinis *aka getting rediculously drunk* and playing!
so psyched!
ps. 18 days til i'm back on NS soil!
pps. still doped up on benadryl, that's why i haven't posted on my blog *fear i might say inappropriate things*
xoxo
love the video - NIIIIIIIIICE. Are you sure the dollhouse isnt yours?
So happy for you both! And Calvin too!!!
You two sound just like Hubby and me one of us likes/loves something, the other - not so much!
Woooooooooooooooooo!!
I love your house and I love your video of your house. That's SO the video Britney should have made, Ben. If only she'd called you first!!
You felt ugly and unmotivated this morning? You have just described how I feel every morning.
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. that house is huge!
Ashley: Thank you. I expect this video is my greatest accomplishment to date.
Auburn Kat: I'm liking the idea!
Jenn: Just wait til I'm through with it.
Leigh: Whooooooooooooo!
K: The doll house is hilarious considering it's big and built like a real house. Since we have no other use for it, but no reason to get rid of it (it's not like we're running out of room...), we'll see if Calvin likes it for now.
Tipp: We're fun that way. We agreed on furniture though which was a nice change!
Roro: You're welcome to come visit and stay for free anytime! And yes, I should clearly be in Britney's entourage. Well, old Britney. You couldn't pay me to be associated with her today.
Sid: I suppose...I guess I was still feeling that way well into the afternoon hence the no video appearance.
Pinkjellybaby: It's huge for the three of us. It's no mansion but I love it!
Haha, those captions were hilarious. Also, WOW!
Awesome commentary :) Beautiful home... I am jealous of your backyard, especially. Looks lovely!
This house is awesome, congrats!!
Wow, Ben, you are incredibly lucky. The house looks so fabulous. I am jealous of your hardwood floors. I am even more jealous that you live on a cul-de-sac, because that means limited traffic and lots of peace. I love your home, and I'm sure you're head over heels for it!
I don't know which I loved more the video or the house!
Congrats!
Check you out! The house looks AMAZING!!
The place looks awesome, best of luck! You'll have to do an update in true Cribs style when you have all your stuff in and you're not feeling ugly.
Dude, that house looks fan-friggin-tastic. I am SO happy for you!!!
things i love:
--everything about this video.
--the floors in your house.
--your backyard! elevated party deck...and a separate one for those who venture into the woods. woot!
--the colors of the bathrooms. previous owners = smart. it makes them sell.
YAY for 45 days!
Freaking a that house is so awesome! Gah! Jealous...
Ben I really love your house...you are living my dream :( Well I guess it's your reality now. As soon as I saw the colors in that house I thought: CHILDREN! Maybe you can turn the room with no purpose into a bedroom for Calvin. You can get some cute doggie beds out there (and than you can store all his toys because I am sure he has a ton) and leave the colors so your newf can stare at them in amazement like a small child? Just a thought. Congrats!!!
wow - that is nice.
But don't lie, that barbie playhouse is yours.
LaurenMc18: I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks I'm hilarious.
LaurenOostveen: Stay tuned for a straight-up summer BBQ for my local readers and fav bloggers.
Dustin: Thank you, sir!
JB: I love both of those things too. You never realize how appealing the suburbs are until you live in downtown Dartmouth. If I get scabies ONE MORE TIME....
(just kidding)
Penelope: I love you the mostest.
Lauren: THANKS! I will do more videos of the house with many more captions. Or perhaps Calvin captions. OH THE POSSIBILITIES!
Mike: You have my word. Prepare yourself for a big clock on a chain.
Deutlich: Come visit, sassy.
Drbolte: Their realtor was hella smart. There were little cue cards throughout the house explaining the recent updates and remodelings. GENIUS.
B2G: Oh I'm sure I'll be bogged down with house stuff eventually to make up for how awesome it is right now.
Amanda: Believe me, it'll be Calvin's room before it'll be a child's room...or the newf's crazy colour room for that matter.
Surviving: That's where you get to stay when you visit. WITH THE REST OF THE HELP!
Ben, we just watched the vid... SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! :)
Ben! Congrats! Your house and yard are both HUGE and super cute! Also, the video made me smile from the very getgo.
You know, if the whole PR thing doesn't work out, you could probably work for Cribs because you definitely have skillz. Yes, skills with a z. Mmhmm.
Ben, please get rid of the malaria before you move in. You + sick = a total dent in ANTM night and fewer funny blog posts. And we can't have any of that.
Love you and the house (please don't be breakin' and dishes up in there...)
;)
Carolyne: Always makes me happy that you're reading. We'll have BBQ.
EP: My job is to make you smile.
Shannon: Agreed. House = good. Malaria = bad.
i am impressed!!!!
and it takes a lot to impress me.
jk, jk.
congratulations!
Awesome!!
At time of writing 29 comments? Wow...very popular. I will watch this video tmr when I am awake to truly appricate it and pay close attention.
I look forward to your "green data center" story. I'm a geek and think data centers are the height of coolness!
Alexa: Jeez. Maybe I should spruce the place up before my next video then?
Essentially: Thank! Who's up for a blog meet-up at my place? Anyone?? No one? Fine...
Justin: Seriously. It's all about the vlogs if you want comments. It brings everyone out of the wood works since it gives them more to judge haha.
