Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Hope you all are doing well. This video is probably the most requested video I’ve made thus far. My husband and I were speaking prior to filming about how much and or little we wanted to film our house. Having three kids we wanted to create a safe space for them so we decided to limit the tour to the common areas. Thankfully, that was probably a better idea or else this video would probably be an hour long!
In this video, you’ll see that my house is not a traditional Portuguese style home, but rather a more modern/contemporary feel to it. This house was built in 2015 by a family who also has 3 kids (how convienient). The family room and dining room offers a large open living concept similar to what we had back in the States. The house is filled with natural light and amazing views. The neighborhood is a mixture of local Portuguese and other foreign families which is perfect for us 😊.
Although we closed on the house in late November, we actually didn’t move until the beginning of March. That was mainly due to us renovating the kitchen and waiting for the furniture to be completed and installed. The company that we used for our interior decorating and kitchen installation is ⭐️ My Way Design ⭐️ which is located in Porto. It’s a small family owned company which travels all around Portugal. Their designs are amazing and customizable. They are quick to respond and very reasonably priced.
I hope you guys enjoy the video ❤️
🙋♀️ Question for you all! Would you like more vlog style videos to show you my daily life in Portugal or do you enjoy the sit down chats with me? 🙋♀️

Congratulations on your new house…sure you all gonna be happy here.. it looks amazing. Light, modern and relaxing.
We are also looking in the Caldas area and interested in the private school. We are trying to figure out what communities to look in that are close to the school.
Your house is inspiring, love the magical looking backyard too. You have great taste and your decorating is spot on.
Beautiful home Josie!! You look very happy 😃 I hope I find something that nice when we move in the next couple of years. Can’t wait to watch your next video on financials. Xx
good family home, but too rural. And Caldas is already too small, I hear.
Love your house & your garden. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations on your new home! I love the layout, the kitchen is well designed, not too big for you to keep clean.
The green space in the distance is just perfect for the eyes. You did well!
Great Design!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful house. Love the garden! It’s evident you’re passionate about it 😄
Congrats, Josie for the house – beautiful. We also love the open concept and the big fridge – being in the States. Can you share the $ price so we can get an idea of what we can get for the $ there. Crazy how the prices went up so much the last couple of years in Portugal but in the silver coast I still consider one of the best values compared to Lisbon , Porto, Algarve and Cascais. We are moving there next year and uncertain whether we should take some furniture, rugs, etc. I think we may. Good quality Outdoor furniture seems to be difficult to find on Portugal from the research I have done… any stores you would recommend for furniture especially outdoor furniture – thank you. Stay well.
Do you mind sharing the approx amount you paid for your place? It's amazing! We can't wait to make the move
Beautiful house! We’re renovating our house in Caldas too, where did you find such huge rugs? I’m finding it hard to get hold of them here! Thanks 😊
Such a beautiful home!
I grew tomatillos in France because you really couldn't get them there and will have them in my garden here in Portugal…When we move in soon!! I make salsa verde and slather it on everything…So good!
Parabéns querida Josie. Muito bonita. All the best!
Looks very nice and modern, Josie! Great job on house shopping.
Nice house tour…so how many homes did you look at before buying this house?
Great house and believe me is a great investment because the price is rising like mad in Portugal. the country where the housing market really took off.
Hi Josie!! I really liked your house, congratulations.😍✌👍
