Jessa Seewaldis showing off her home makeover!
TheCounting Onstar, who isexpecting her third childwith husband Ben, gave her Instagram followers a “little glimpse” into how sherevamped their bedroomandliving roomon a budget.
“Decided on a whim that I wanted to become more of a minimalist,” she writes alongside a series of before-and-after photos of her living room.

“Finished painting at 1 am (fear not, windows were open and it was well ventilated 😆)” she writes.
Her late-night makeover also inspired her to sell some of their bulky furniture, like the end table and wooden coffee table with matching stools. To re-home the items, the TLC star tried out the Facebook Marketplace “for the first time,” where her items sold “in a matter of minutes.”

While most of the room makeover was aboutde-cluttering the space, Seewald admits that she created a “kiddos corner” for her sons Spurgeon, 3, and Henry, 2, with a few things that she just can’t part with, including a plastic slide.
“It was definitely God-sent [because] I had recently been looking atsimilar, sturdy optionsonline, but wasn’t ready to spend $100+ on something like that!” she writes. “Such a blessing. The boys play on it all the time, and it’s great when the weather is rainy or bad as a way for them to get their energy out indoors. (Got this idea from my mom, as we had a similar slide in our living room growing up. 😉).”

Seewald admits that she and her husband toyed with replacing the bed with a simpler option, but Ben said he liked the “simplicity” of having their bed directly on the floor.

“I realize this isn’t for everyone, but we do have a tall mattress and, with the box spring, our bed sits at about couch height,” Jessa writes. “I LOVE IT. (Can we just pause for a moment and celebrate the fact that there’s no more dusting/cleaning/swiping toys, socks and other random items out from under the bed?! Yay!!! 🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼)”
“We’ve found that we all pile into bed a lot more to read stories or snuggle,” she continues. “It’s easy for the two year old to climb up and down on his own, and if a little monkey accidentally falls out of bed it’s not likely to be an incident to call the doctor over. 🙈😂”

The changing table was another DIY project. She painted the piece — which used to be black with black knobs — a mossy green (Valspar Cliveden Forest) with gold bar handles on the drawers.
On the wall, Seewald hung an enlarged photo of her and Ben from their honeymoon, which she printed in 24×36 poster size at Sam’s Club for around $13. The frame, she says, came from Bed Bath & Beyond.
For Seewald, making over her home was a process she greatly enjoyed, and now, the space is more functional for hergrowing family.
