Home Town is back, and fans are thrilled at the chance to see Ben and Erin Napier at work renovating homes in their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi.

On a recent episode, Ben and Erin took viewers behind the scenes of a very special renovation: their own country house. The hour-long episode showcased the warm and inviting home, including the beautiful kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and even the bathrooms, but one main area was omitted: the living room! Well, Erin took to Instagram to share details from that space too and explain the omission.

Erin posted a series of photos from the room (including one of her daughter Mae taking a look at her surroundings) and wrote, "Why didn’t we show the living room on #HGTVHomeTown? Because it didn’t need renovation! We just updated the cream paint to show off the woodwork and replaced the light fixtures. The way the sun streams inside every morning takes my breath away."

Commenters expressed their appreciation with messages like "Cozy, welcoming and a true family living room.....I love it and I am so happy for you.👏❤️" and "I loved the episode and wondered about the living room. The way you renovated and made the new look as if it were as old as the rest of the home was brilliant. Your home definitely has all of the cozy and welcoming vibes. It's stunning 🥰"

Many fans jumped to the comments section to ask one question: Where did Erin find the plush rust-colored chair? And Erin replied and revealed her source: Anthropolgie! We found the exact chair, the Channel Tufted Occasional Chair. It's available made-to-order in 12 different velvet fabrics (it looks like Erin's is Spice) as well as 4 colors of performance linen.

New episodes of Home Town air on HGTV on Sundays at 8 EST/7 CST. Catch up on past episodes, including this special country house reveal, on Discovery+.
