Jana Duggar and her husband Stephen Wissmann are continuing to renovate their Nebraska home together — even as new parents! The Counting On alum, 36, documented some of the recent additions she and her husband have made to their home in a “January recap” shared to Instagram on Monday, Feb. 2. Their home’s latest update comes after they welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Archie, in December.
Included in the mix is a clip of “Stephen building out our fireplace,” she noted in the caption, which showed her husband drilling into a bare wall. At the bottom, a rectangular cutout where the fireplace would be installed could be seen.

The last slide in the post reveals the “almost finished” gas fireplace. Along with the cozy addition to the living area, the couple added a portrait of the two of them sharing a sweet embrace at the beach to tie the space together.

Duggar also shared some other home-related tasks her family got up to in January, including removing all the lights from their Christmas tree and finally taking the evergreen down.

The new mom — who often makes frequent trips to the hardware store amid her renovations — also documented her son’s “first time” at Lowe’s as they “strolled through the plant section” together as a family.
In her “December recap” shared to Instagram on the same day, the former reality star also included a glimpse of her husband working in a freshly-painted green room, which she noted in the caption was the “baby’s room remodel.” While she didn’t share Archie’s finished room just yet, she has been known to unveil the before and after of spaces she and her husband have worked on in their home together.

Duggar — who is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children — has been documenting the renovation process ever since she and Wissmann tied the knot in August 2024. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that same month, Jana revealed that she was leaving Arkansas to start her new life with Wissmann in Nebraska and that the pair were going to renovate a house together.

“He has a little house we bought that we’ve been fixing up and getting pulled together, and so that’s been fun,” she said at the time.
One year after their wedding, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child together in a joint Instagram post in August 2025. They took to Instagram again nearly five months later to share the exciting news that they welcomed their baby boy at the end of December.
“We took some time to settle into our new rhythm before sharing this sweet news 🤍 Archie Gerald Wissmann arrived on December 30, 2025, and our hearts have been completely changed,” the couple wrote in the caption of their Jan. 23 post. “We’re soaking in these early days, full of love, wonder, and so much gratitude.”
