Modern has never really been the HGTV stars' jam.
They might not live in a mansion, but they take impeccable care of the space they do have.
“We guard our time here fiercely” Erin explained.
“Home is the only place I feel I can drop my guard.
I don’t have to perform here.”
Those wandering through the Napiers' Instagram pages can nonetheless tour their 2-storied, 100-year-old home.
Of course, there’s a fireplace in their living room (viaInstagram).
Of course, their floors are hardwood (viaInstagram).
The bones of the house are beautiful.
It’s what the Napiers' have done to it that makes it into a haven.
Take the dining room, which features a giant,wooden farmyard dinner table.
Per Erin, that’s the first piece of furniture that Ben built (viaInstagram).
The top, made from Erin’s parents' back porch, isn’t accidental either.
That blue and white striped cotton rug?
And that’s not the only movie-inspired decor in the Napiers' house!
Ready to head upstairs?
Ben and Erin Napiers' furnishings are more than just amenities: they’re memories.
That butcher block countertop with built-in wine bottle storage that you’re drooling over?
It’s an Ikea find!
Erin designed the refrigerator cabinet, and Ben brought it to life.
Don’t get us started on the cast iron enamel sink.
Yes, it’s vintage.
Ben’s mom found it (viaHooked on Houses).
It’s the photos in the Napiers' house that are the real treasure, though.
You won’t find a picture of Ben and Erin in it.
The wall space is taken up by something far more important.
Because who’s house achieves that level of perfection?
Yup, the home improvement experts installed those, too (viaInstagram).
What’s on them?
Of course, their daughter, Helen, has their own set of shelves.
And no, before you ask, Erin’s not concerned about sorting that out anytime soon.
I’d like to see designers embrace that a bit more."
