In the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” which is currently airing its eighth season, Kylie, who is 29 years old, shared her longing for additional fireplaces after visiting her sister Kourtney Kardashian’s home, which is also undergoing significant renovations. During a candid moment, Kylie confessed to feeling envious of Kourtney’s decision to include fireplaces throughout her home—something she regrets not doing in her own residence.
The episode featured a confessional moment with Kourtney, aged 47, who articulated the similarities between her renovation experience and Kylie’s construction efforts. Their connection is apparent as they navigate their respective projects. Kourtney remarked, “Kylie’s over, and she’s fully building her house while I’m fully renovating and adding on to mine.” She elaborated on the challenges of her renovation timeline, revealing that what was initially projected to take ten months has now stretched to nearly three years.
The segment unfolds with Kourtney showcasing her home to Kylie. The two sisters explored the somewhat bare structure, with Kourtney detailing her plans for the kitchen, which will include a fireplace made of “old stone.” Similarly, during their tour, Kylie expressed her delight at discovering one of Kourtney’s glam rooms features a fireplace. “Why didn’t I think of a f—ing fireplace in my glam room?” she exclaimed, expressing her admiration for Kourtney’s design choices.
Kourtney’s enthusiasm for fireplaces became a prominent theme as she discussed her desire to include them in multiple rooms. In one of her own confessional moments, Kourtney declared, “The more fireplaces, the better. Who doesn’t love a cozy fireplace being on all night long?” This sentiment resonated with Kylie, who admitted her regret: “That’s my one thing, is I wish I did more fireplaces.”
In her confessional, Kylie elaborated further on her custom-built home, lamenting the lack of fireplaces for her children and guests, stating, “I didn’t do enough fireplaces. Just a fireplace for me.” This moment of jealousy regarding Kourtney’s design choices showcased a sibling bond strengthened through shared experiences in home building and decoration.
Beyond her sisterly envy, Kylie has been attentive to the evolution of her own dream home. Over the past year, she has showcased various updates on social media, charting the progress of her five-acre property, which she purchased for $15 million in 2020. Architectural Digest reported on her journey, reflecting the excitement and anticipation surrounding her highly publicised project.
In a recent vlog shared with her YouTube audience, Kylie invited her followers to observe the final touches being added to her abode, expressing her eagerness to settle into her new environment. “I feel like I’ve been working on this for so long, and I’m just ready for it to be done and to move in,” she shared, conveying both her impatience and excitement for the completion of the project.
Kylie Jenner’s construction and design odyssey has not only provided entertainment for fans of “The Kardashians,” but has also drawn attention to the unique design choices that reflect personal preferences and lifestyle aspirations. As her home nears completion, it remains to be seen whether Kylie will find a way to incorporate more of the coveted fireplaces she has now yearned for—inspiration gleaned from her sister’s ambitious renovation.
