Leslie Bibb is ready to dive into the world of home remodeling.
“Hi TikTok, it’s me,” Bibb, 51, captioned her inaugural post on the social media platform on Saturday, August 16. “[I] wanted to share my home reno journey with y’all; come along.”
Bibb uploaded a video of herself holding a pair of wooden shingles as she walked into the house, which was originally built in the 1750s.
“Here we go! Guys, I’m so excited,” she said in the footage, while walking through the front door. “I feel like this house is magic. Every time you think something’s crap, then all of a sudden, you’re like, ‘Oh, it’s beautiful wood!’”
In Bibb’s TikTok tour, she gave fans a glimpse at the unfinished interior, boasting wood beams on the ceiling, a fireplace, painted murals and a Dutch door that opened onto a grassy backyard.
While most of the home details had been ripped out during demolition, a few original aspects remained, including dainty chandeliers, blue striped wallpaper and a backyard trellis.
“Follow along!” Bibb concluded her post, teasing future videos documenting her design progress.
The White Lotus season 3 star and her longtime partner, Sam Rockwell, purchased the property in 2024.
“Say hello to our new baby. Last year, Sammy and I bought this beautiful 1750s house with the goal of fixing it up and making it the upstate home of our dreams, preserving all of its original charm but making it uniquely ours,” Bibb wrote via Instagram on Saturday. “From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the one. Next order of business was calling up the one and only @shawnhenderson — my partner in crime and designer extraordinaire.”
She added, “Having my best friend by my side has truly made this process just as much about the journey as the destination. We are already having so much fun with the renovations and want to take you all along.”
Bibb further noted that she wanted to share her design journey for “all my HGTV enthusiasts, lovers of old houses, CLB community and anyone who needs some inspiration to start that project you’ve been putting off.”
Bibb’s celebrity friends are already on board to tune in.
“Here for this journey! It’s beautiful already!! ❤️,” Bibb’s White Lotus costar Michelle Monaghan wrote in the comments section.
Podcaster Matt Rogers, for his part, replied that the house is “almost as stunning as the owners.”
Property Brothers host Drew Scott added, “Love it!!”
