Purchasing a second home is no small decision, especially when you're Erin and Ben Napier, the beloved stars of Home Town. These two have built their lives around real estate, so expanding their portfolio wasn't a choice they took lightly. But let me tell you, there’s absolutely no regret on their end. In an Instagram post from August 27, Erin gave fans a peek into one of her favorite spots in their Mississippi vacation home—a cozy nook that’s practically made for snuggles.

Erin, who just turned 37, captured a heartwarming moment of her husband Ben, 39, and their eldest daughter Helen, enjoying some quality family time in that special corner of the house. "I love a nook and a sconce," she captioned the post, showcasing her signature charm and eye for design. That simple caption speaks volumes about the thought and care that goes into every detail of their home.

Now, here’s where the fans stepped in. The comments section lit up with admirers asking all about the decor of this unique nook. From the light wood furnishings to the floral duvet and shelving unit, every element seemed to spark curiosity. This comfy space is located on the second floor, which Erin affectionately refers to as “girl world.” It's the perfect retreat for her and her daughters, Helen and Mae, who turned two in May 2023. The Napier family has truly crafted a haven that reflects their personalities and values.

For Erin and Ben, this second home isn't just about adding another property to their portfolio; it's about creating a space where their daughters can grow and thrive. The upstairs area, affectionately called “girl world,” offers plenty of room for the Napier sisters to play, create, and explore. "I grew up on a 40-acre chicken farm," Erin reminisced. "I would pick out a baby chick to be my pet every time a new load would come. My playtime consisted of climbing trees and digging for arrowheads in the woods. That’s not something our girls can do in town. I want their bathwater to be dirty at the end of the day because it means they weren’t just playing on screens."

Designing Their Dream Escape

Erin and Ben documented every step of the design process and the big reveal of their country retreat during season 6 of Home Town. Fans got to see the Napier magic in action as they transformed the house into a cozy, inviting space that feels like a true escape. "All the cozy rooms with dark wood make it seem as if you're sitting beside a fire—that is the dream for me," Erin shared. "I love this style so much." While they did make some necessary updates, their primary goal was to preserve the home's European charm. "One reason we had to get this house was its very British look," Erin explained. "It feels as though you’ve crossed the ocean and you’re not in Mississippi anymore. It’s like a vacation for us."

The Napier Family’s Laurel Roots

Of course, this vacation home isn't their only residence. Erin and Ben also own a craftsman cottage in Laurel, Mississippi, which they purchased after their 2008 wedding. This townhouse remains their primary residence, conveniently located near their thriving Laurel Mercantile Co. flagship store. It's a place where they've built a life together, raising their daughters and continuing to grow their business. But having a second home allows them to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, providing a much-needed retreat for the entire family.
