Identical twins with the same job, car and dog have now moved into identical homes – right next door to each other.
Stephanie Buckman and Sammie Nowakowski have lived mirror image lives since they were born.
The 30-year-olds both work as aesthetic physician assistants at the same clinic.

They met their husbands on the same day and were pregnant at the same time, having their babies just three weeks apart.
Even their Golden Retrievers are brothers from the same litter.
And now their homes reflect their eternal bond.
“Our homes have the exact same layout on the inside – it is the same floor plan,” Stephanie told What’s The Jam.
“The outside of our homes looks a little different because they have different elevations.

“But all of the big pieces of furniture are the exact same – sofas, coffee tables, leather chairs, TV consoles, barstools, kitchen tables and chairs.
“We also have the same window treatments, lamps, dining tables, master beds and matching outdoor porch furniture.”
Stephanie and Sammie, from Jacksonville, Florida, US, say they simply have the same aesthetic.

They had always shared a dream of purchasing from a luxury furniture and design company local to them, known as J Turner & Co.
Stephaine said: “We both have the same taste and aesthetic. Very neutral.
“We always end up picking out the exact same things. For example, this happened when we bought cars too.
“I bought a jeep and Sammie loved it so she bought the exact same one. This seems to be a similar theme in our lives.
“We ended up deciding on a lot of the same pieces for our homes because our taste is so similar. We knew that would happen and we weren’t surprised at all by that.”
Stephanie and Sammie have lived similar lives for years, attending the same college where they were also roommates.
Their husbands even find it tricky to tell them apart.
Stephanie said: “Our voices are very similar!
“Our husbands are very used to how we are and knew what would happen when we designed our homes.
“They love everything we both picked out.
“Our husbands are best friends and hang out all the time.
“Growing up as little girls we always dreamed of living next to each other. We have always been best friends and are extremely close.
“Our friends and family are really happy for us. Of course there are some people out there who do not understand why we want to be so similar, and we know it can definitely be hard to understand especially if you don’t have a twin.
“Our houses finally feel like home and it has been absolutely amazing being right next door to each other.”
