COUNTING On’s Jessa Duggar has adorned her house with romantic snaps showing her kissing her husband – yet the new home furnishings might just freak out her strict Christian father.
Jessa, who is the fifth of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar‘s 19 children, gave fans a sneak peek of her re-vamped lounge in a video posted to her YouTube account.
Titled Seewald living Room Update, the 28-year-old revealed she was “so in love” with the series of snaps taken in a cornfield.
Introducing the three images, which saw her husband of seven years Ben hugging their sons Spurgeon and Henry, Jessa holding daughter Ivy Jane and Jessa and Ben embracing each other as they kissed in the romantic surroundings, she couldn’t hold back her delight.
Yet the PDA showcased on the pictures may come as a surprise to her strict Baptist father Jim Bob Duggar, who raised his daughters to adhere to a series of strict Christian codes and beliefs – including implementing a conservative dress code and discouraging birth control use.
His other stipulations include no front facing hugs and a ban on social media accounts – both of which were flaunted with the portraits showcased on her YouTube.
Introducing her re-vamped living room after the removal of her Christmas tree, Jessa told the camera: “We have our new family pictures that we are going to hang on this wall here.
“We used to have pictures of the kids there but we will move those to the kids room, and we are going to hang our new family pictures there.
“We have these new prints in and I am so in love with these – we will hang them on the wall.”
Other scenes showed her sons helping out with the housework and rearranging furniture as she joked: “It’s good to have helpers,” while daughter Ivy Jane sat propped up on the sofa.
Jessa was then tasked with hanging the picture frames on the wall, standing on the sofa for support.
After asking Ivy for her take on the soft furnishings, Ivy squeaked: “I weant chocolate.”
They finished the home makeover with a selection of house plants.
Jessa found fame with her siblings on 19 Kids and Counting, which ran from 2008 to 2015 upon its cancellation.
The show became TLC’s most popular, averaging 2.3 million viewers per new episode in Season 10.
The family were the again the centre of attention last month as Jessa was forced to deny claims her rebellious sister Jill was not invited to the family bash.
Jessa shared a video of her family all celebrating the holiday together, but some viewers quickly noticed that everyone was there but Jill and her husband, who have been feuding with the family over their strict rules as of late.
One upset Counting On fan asked in the comments: “How is that a Duggar family Christmas, when your sister and your brother-in-law are not there because your family has ostracized them?”
Jessa saw the note and decided to set the story straight.
She replied: “Nobody is ostracized. The Dillards were invited, but chose to celebrate the holiday with Derick’s family.”
Meanwhile Jessa’s spouse Ben also came under fire for urging his fans not to blame anyone following the shocking Capitol Hill riots.
