Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard live in a modest home after quitting Counting On and claiming they weren’t paid from the show.
Jill, 28, and Derick, 30, moved into a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home for $187, 729 in April 2019.
In July, Jill gave a tour of the 1,470 sqft Arkansas house.
The former TLC star said in the YouTube video: “Here is the living room. We have nice tall ceilings.”
The living room also features carpeting, brown leather couches and decorations, which Jill’s sisters helped display.
She then showed off her law student husband Derick’s office, which is complete with a desk, globe and harp.
The mom of two said: “You can actually study at home now instead of having to do all of his studying at school.”
The kitchen boasts granite countertops, white cabinets and an island overlooking the living room.
Jill said of the kitchen: “I just wanted everything open. It makes it nice being able to see what’s going on in the living room from the kitchen, and even the backyard too.”
Jill and Derick’s bedroom has antique white and brown furniture.
They also have a master bathroom that features a tub and shower.
While one of the bedrooms is used as a nap/play room, sons Israel, 4, and Samual, 2, share the fourth room.
The boys’ room is complete with a shag rug, black crib, and red and blue bed with gray walls.
Jill’s two-car garage is used for storage.
She said in the video: “Two car garage, but obviously you can’t fit a car in there right now.”
The backyard is large enough for the boys to run around in.
The couple stopped filming for Counting On in 2017.
Derick claimed his family filmed for the show without compensation, as he was under the impressed Duggar kids “didn’t make any money from the show.”
He explained to a fan on Instagram: “We were pressured to think that we were required to [film] and that we would get sued if we didn’t.
“But rather, it was presented to us kids as something that was done as a ministry that TLC periodically subsidized in the form of reimbursements for things like gas, restaurants, travel, etc. But not any actual pay on top of that.”

He claimed father-in-law Jim Bob was the one to negotiate show contacts.
The Dillards are currently feuding with the patriarch, as Derick claimed his family is “not allowed” in the Duggar home when Jim Bob “isn’t there.”
Jill and Derick have skipped holidays and events with her family.
