- We renovated e a 100 year old Victorian house in the north of England. The house was neglected by the previous tenants and needed a huge renovation before it could go into the market for sale.
We painted every single wall, replaced flooring, restored 2 fireplaces, installed a new kitchen and the family bathroom was redone.

This genuinely bought tears to my eyes. I live in a very similar house with a lot of original features and all too often these days, people are ripping out period features and replacing them with (imo) something awful. I never understood why people buy period properties and strip them? Why? 🤷🏼♀️ I’m beyond thrilled to see you treated this beautiful house with so much love and respect and your attention to detail is truly admirable. Your hard work has definitely made this stunning house a home again and brought it back to life. *THANK YOU.* 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻
Awww that’s very kind of you! Thank you! It is very sad to see period houses being stripped of their beautiful features so it was not only important to respect them but celebrate them ❤
I so agree!
Definitely! why buy a character property and then take the heart out of it? Modern improvements can work beautifully with original features when introduced sympathetically, as it has been proven here! XXX
Those Victorian houses are unique and beautiful. The family who built and owned this one obviously could afford high end finishes. God bless the couple who restored it to its former glory.
Exactly! When you want a modern house, then buy one and don't murder an old beauty.
Wow....one of the best videos I have seen....less talking, all working, explanations where necessary....You are both amazing and talented....can't wait to see what you do with the Portugal project over the next year.....bravo....
😊😊😊😊😊😊 thank you Kathryn!
@@TheIndigoEscape heat gun for residue paint like in bathroom.. really gets the tiny crevasses
@@TheIndigoEscape what color and brand was the toilet colour pls
@@teepeeX Donstairs toilet was Farrow and Ball Frech Grey but if you got to a Johnstones shop, which are professional paint shops, you can get the Johsntone brand for cheaper and they are just as good quality
@@TheIndigoEscape the shop might be a bit far 🤣🤣🤣 I'd need a suitcase .. I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 🤣🤣🤣🤣 watching Ur videos now , how's you're mum doing
Your attention to the historic details do this home a great service. Too many are stripped of their character. Also it's the quality of that work. 👌
That was our main focus. Even the kitchen we needed to inject some features that would make it look more in touch with the house and I think it was achieved ❤️
They are on a budget. They didnt even tear wallpapers down. The house is molded. To fix it, u need to tear everything down and replaster....profit wise it was also not worth it, a tiny return for three months of work..
Love how you listened to the house and decided to go for color so it would make her character shine. I can't believe you made all this job in only three months with such a small team, and were still able to walk after that instead of collapsing at the front door xD Great job, take care of yourself, and I hope all your future projects go well!
Haha thank you for appreciating how much work went into this project!! All the best to you 😊👍
I had no idea you did this level of reno work. Bravo, excellent investment of time and money!
Thank you!!! All the best to you, stay tuned for more amazing transformations! 😊👍
Hola buenos kkkjhh
@@TheIndigoEscape que te ya
Andrea, these videos need to be shown to girls and young women, to show them that there are no barriers to women entering the trades. You are inspirational!❤️🇨🇦
I love the period touches to the house like the fireplaces and tile floors. You two did an awesome job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Across the pond here! THANK YOU for maintaining the character of the house- the woodwork, the cast iron fireplaces, the baths, the wood floors and entryway floor! So many renovations done for flipping a home generally tear out all the original features of an older home and tear down walls! Just amazing dedication and hard work you all put into this home! Just beautiful!
What a beautiful house. I had an Edwardian end terrace only two bedrooms, in North Yorkshire. We were in a tied house, and rented it out for several years. Eventually we moved back to my home area when my husband retired. All your hard work in three months, amazing.
Thank you Susan, we do love the older houses and our love of renovating them brought us to Portugal for a much bigger project, stay tuned!! All the best
So precious at 49:00 "u wanna put all that weight on me" - that's exactly what happens when you are such a Superwoman girl - people forget that you can't lift a ton with your pinky finger - I'm so impressed with everything you are accomplishing through this reno - super amazing 🙌❤
Чудесная,кропотливая работа,учитывая что переделывать всегда сложнее чем делать! Сколько знаний, умения, вложено и души. И вуа-ля, снова красота будет радовать много лет!!! Браво!!!
Great job, the house looks so so much better!
Thank you Bimse!
I agree mostly but I got really frustrated because of the kitchen... the cabinets were gorgeous... they could have altered them or something but decided to completely destroy them.....
Wow got to love old places so much character and you guys did a great job! 👏
Thank you Paula!! Yes we're a lot more skilled at interior but we are learning fast about renovation and building
I just happened on your channel and must say...Fantastic! I love the project and love that you show just how capable women can be at home repair and improvement. As a women myself, I do all the remodeling and repairs in our home including electrical and some minor plumbing. My fiancée admitted right off that building, construction, home improvements, etc. were something he was not good at. I told him, "No problem, I've got you covered. It was so nice to watch the progress of the project. Wonderful job!
Watched many renovation videos over the years and this was one of the most impressive I hav had the pleasure of watching.
Congratulations on an excellent job well done and I hope you found the whole experience very rewarding and satisfying.
Best wishes on all your endeavours in Portugal, which I will be folloowing.
That you David for the words, that means a lot! The work on the house and the video took lots of work! Haha
It's rich that you're talking with condescension about other people's shortcuts and you're not waterproofing you're backerboard BEHIND A TUB. Holy moly.
You have done such beautiful work. I was saddened when you started the kitchen renovation as I would love a kitchen with that much storage and the range although filthy was my dream cooker. I understand why you did it though. I hope you sold the cooker and didnt just dump it
Agree about the cooker. A 4-ring hob is too small for a family home I think.
I will say a dolly could help you immensely! I have moved pieces some men friends say they will wait til they can get more friends to help. Forget that! I have two dollies, one is called a piano dolly, the other is a large 2 wheel dolly that breaks down to a longer 4 wheel dolly. I feel like I can move mountains. This is an absolute lovely make over! Good job!
You guys are awesome. Genuine as they come. Magnetic personalities with a humble nature. Never change my friends🥰🥰👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thank you so much 🤗
You are both such skilled craftspersons! Andrea is really shining on this project like we have never seen before. What a marvelous team...keep it up!!
Thank you Bobby, that means a lot! It was a rewarding but hardworking experience
@@TheIndigoEscape Bobby is right!
Wow, Andrea, Omar! Just WOW! Outstanding work both on renovating this gem and editing the video! Love it! Hugs from Belgium!
Hi Marina and Ilia! Thank you so much for you comment 🥰🥰🥰 we have been so busy and super happy to be back on the project, sending you guys some super good vibes, we love your channel!!!! X X
First time I watch this kind of video and let me tell you that I watched it from the beginning to the end. You all did an amazing and fantastic job. This is totally incredible. I love all the color you chose and the kitchen is to die for. I would've bought the house in a heartbeat. So beautiful and cozy. Congratulations on your hard work that paid off. Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ ♥ ❤
30 minutes in, taking a break. So impressed at the transformation so far, you both have tackled so many different jobs! Great efforts well done.
Your channel has helped me soooo much. I had to sell my beloved flat due to getting made redundant from lockdowns.
I was lucky enough to buy a cheaper place but it needed soooo much done and it was depressing me but you and your friends have been inspirational to me in just to keep going, knowing that it will all get done in the end.
Thank you both.
look forward to seeing you doing up your home in beautiful Portugal.
That house is like my dream house. I grew up in a victorian house and loved all its original features, fireplaces and mouldings. Stunning ❤
Thank you very much Annie!! I hope you follow along our stone house renovation ❤️
Me too, it reminds me of my Grandparent's Home, in Victoria, Australia.
Beautiful transformation. I was glad to see you saved the integrity of the home.
You guys did a brilliant job, all your hard work and effort that went into it. Well done you should be proud of yourselves 👍
Thank you so much 😁
Thanks for posting, looks like a tremendous amount of work
Great videos. Love how you just get on with it without too much chit chat. Brilliant job
Good job! Sympathetically restored and looking really lovely. Those fireplaces wow!!
I just stumbled across your video and I gotta say WOW! You guys are really an amazing team! The work you’ve done is spectacular! I’m addicted to watching you 2 now. Looking forward to seeing more!
With the mould issues , I hope you had the damp course and roof checked , nice to see you keep the character of the house intact . BRILLIANT JOB
I too, wanted to address the painting over the surface that had mold.
Stunning! Thank you for giving life to this beautiful old house!
Stumbled across this and normally I flick through but was utterly glued every step of the way. Well done for such a beautiful job, you are incredibly skilled.
What a pleasure to watch you bring that house back to life. Your attention to detail was amazing. Every little crack or dent was addressed with such care. Congratulations!
Wow. So inspiring! Appreciated all the hints & tips. Beautiful house x
Very impressive, we can't wait to see the finished house in Portugal.
Wow! Well done to you both. You did an astonishing job. I personally think it was worth way more ❤
Really a great video - loved the editing. So much work, it must be amazing to look back at all you accomplished!
Thank you Wendy! ❤️ that means a lot
Oh Liz those floors are gorgeous! I absolutely love this home and let another journey with Liz begin! Breath taking❤❤❤❤❤
I would never normally watch a video this long but I just couldn't stop watching. What an amazing job you've done, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this transformation was amazing, and so inspiring it made me want to sort out bits in my house. Absolutely beautiful home, and I love all the decor you both did. I've subscribed as everything you seem to do I love, can't wait to binge-watch your channel 😊❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! The fireplaces and everything turned out so authentic. I love the kitchen as well💖💖💖
Some evergreens should not get that big, height+ shallow root systems, not a good combo in high winds.
Gyönyörű lett! Gratulálok! 🥰THX !
Fabulous! You both work so well together.
The details inside that home are incredible. Wood trims, stairs, doors, etc. needed so much work, but looked like new when you were done 👍🏻👏🏻. The fireplace, bay window and bath also look amazing now. Love the warm tones of the new wall paint as well. Truly like having a brand new home, but with all the elegance and charm of the old Victorian era. I would love living there🥰🤗
Wow you guys are a work of art... looking forward to what you do with your beautiful property in Portugal 👌💯🤗
Thank you Celia!! 😊🙏
Well done, it looks so much better and more light coming into the house. Great job.
How lovely that you brought this gorgeous back to its original beauty!
Totally awesome and inspiring work. I especially like that you fixed all the issues properly and restored the home to its former glory. As I imagine the home when it was first built. Just glorious. Thank you so much for sharing the journey.
What an absolutely stunning transformation, you both should be very proud! Film, editing and music was excellent in this I watched every second. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I love y’all videos. I’ve never seen couples show it while they’re doing it in mostly real time. I love the place and y’all videos. Thanks for sharing loves
I like how you left all the charm of the houses features and brought them back to life.
Hi guys. I am new here. I am very impressed by the huge changes you've made to this Victorian home. It looks brand new and has so much character. Having a studio is a bonus for the property.
I am looking forward to more videos, so I subscribed.
Renovation is just as bad as building! Beautifully done!!! I am so jealous of all your cupboard space in your huge kitchen, new & old. Great job on both bathrooms! The 1st fireplace is a GEM!!! Loved you saving the wooden stair rail. I am a fan of wooden floors! Such slim places right on top of another & road. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
absolutely beautiful job. you saw to all the important little details that were so satisfying to see ~
Oh, my! How beautifully done! ❤
What an incredible job you both did!
Thanks!
Those cabinets look just like the one's removed.
What an amazing job you both did to this very neglected house, love it.
God bless people like you who are preserving the beauty of these old houses.
What a professional job and what a work, and all the editing for this beautiful video..... 🙏 🙏
Thank you Martina!
Outstanding work! My respects.
Thank you very much! 😊👍
So excited for you roxanne a beautiful kitchen at last, can't wait for your next video guys.
You have a beautiful selection of colors for the walls, especially that light greyish-blue, which was so gorgeous once it got properly illuminated by a sunrise.
Wonderful work. Absolutely amazing. Well done guys. A very enjoyable video to watch ☺️👍
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏
I love that u kept all the existing period features. So many people tear out walls and just go over the top modern with these beautiful old homes. I love the paint colors u chose. It all turned out beautiful. Brilliant job. 👍 Really enjoyed watching.
Total,but total perfection.Hard working duo,look forward to your Portugal project.❤
You guys did an amazing job on this property! It's the attention to detail that really makes all the difference, and you know how to do that extremely well. Beautiful!!
Beautiful house in the first place, so many interesting features. I was going to suggest painting that hatch in the kitchen in the ceiling, but I see you have done that. The transoms and the dutch doors and so many other things, like the arch in the hallway are wonderful. It would hurt me to sell it. Thanks for posting this.
Andrea and Omar, amazing job was spellbound the whole way through. ❤️
Thank you Debbie!
Wow! Really impressed by how beautiful the fireplace inserts in the lounge and sitting room turned out after a good clean. I had no idea such products existed, but then, I don't live in a 120 year old in the UK. The upstairs bathroom redo was amazing. I love the new vinyl flooring, it's so pretty and fits the age/style of the house. (I subsequently saw you used the same flooring in the downstairs powder room [half bath]). You did a beautiful job restoring the glory of the old house. The walls will reverberate your loving restoration and care for years to come. Viewing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Love that you kept all the old features and fixtures, you did this house proud, amazing work from you both.
Perfeito. Parabéns! E bem vindos ao meu país 🇵🇹 para nova reforma.
I love this. So much. The only thing I would of done differently is put real tile and wood flooring instead of vinyl. Beautiful choice of music . Well done
I would never, ever get rid of real wood to put another fake material in. That is just not done.
Wow! The two of you are amazing! So talented and creative. I wish I had your skills! God bless you both.
You did such a beautiful job with this renovation....you are both extremely talented.
You are both such hard workers and give great attention to detail. What a fabulous job. I love the colours you chose. Even this video must have taken many hours of editing. Well done.
Thank you Jean! We learnt a lot during this Reno! ❤
Unbelievable!!! I so much enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing. Respekt from Denmark 😊
Wow what more can i say. Your Portugal home will look amazing with your attention to detail you have shown you can do. Congratulations
Thank you Peter! That means a lot!
Love it!!!! You guys did a wonderful job!! I love before and after!!❤
Am really amazed at the quality of your craftsmanship . I have been following your channel on the Portugal farm house renovation, and had no clue you were so thorough and detail focused. Can't wait to see you achieve this kind of result in your house! Congratulations on a work so well done, and with such great taste.
Thank you Maria! Yes we are more in-tune with interior, so we are really looking forward to getting some of the buildings ready for us to decorate, for the moment it's great to learn how to build the actual structure.. so it will be even more satisfying when we're done 😊😊😊😊
Wow- y'all did a wonderful job on a really lovely project! I live in a flat from the same era recognized a lot of the details in your house. It's really a treasure to have so many of those elements intact where you could really bring them back as beautifully as you did - you really made it shine! I enjoyed watching you do the kitchen - my sister's last DIY was redoing her kitchen (largely herself!) and she used the same cabinets. Well done, you two!
Thank you Christine, we just love making older places shine again, all the best to you!
@@TheIndigoEscape you do a great job of it! Makes me even more eager to see what you do with the Portugal property
You two are the hardest workers I’ve ever seen!!! I enjoyed watching it from start to finish. I applaud you both for all the amazing work you did!
Beautifully done!! House looked amazing!👌👏👏
Wow well done. Excelente trabajo, el cambio de la casa fue realizado con buen gusto. Los felicito, disfrute de este video.
Gracias por la dedicatoria, estamos orgullosos de ustedes.
This video shows amazing team work. The Lady sure is an extremely hard worker that knows what she is doing. What a beautiful home this hard working couple have made. I pray they are blesses with many years there.
Thank Nancy! It was a really good experience for all of us. Omar and I (Andrea) learnt a lot❤️
What w great video ! You did amazing job and thank you for all the tips ! ❤
What a great impressive job you did on this lovely home. Lots of work, and a wonderful result.
What an amazing renovation! Thank you. 😁

You guys did an absolute amazing job! It looks stunning!! 😍
Wow the house looked amazing. Your attention to detail was something else, such care given to everything. Well done and keep it up. Can’t wait to watch some more of your videos
Thank you ❤️
This is the most satisfying video I have watched in a while. If I could give it more than 1 like I would have been liking it every 5 minutes. You guys are incredible!! I really hope you get the subscribers you deserve from this video. I feel it’s the first time in a long time YT got the algorithm right! ❤
This is my first time watching you and when the video started, I was hoping you wouldn't rip out all the beautiful details. You did such a wonderful job and I love the colors you painted, even Elephant's Breath which would not be a favorite of mine normally. This is a great video. Very well done. I subscribed.
yiu did a beautiful job on this house. the paint colors were perfect. the time to detail you took on fireplaces etc. just loved watching!
Just subscribed to this. Look forward to seeing more of your work! Love the work you did on this project!
Well I hope you both feel very proud of yourselves because you have given that beautiful house a new life it’s magnificent …absolutely beautiful well done guys…
Thank Laurie! ❤️❤️
I'll never understand why people say the kitchen is terrible and tear out all the cabinets, only to. Replace them. With lookalikes. Why not just reduce the number and replace countertops, plumbing, hardware, lighting and appliances. I hope hope hope they donated them or sold stuff. And most of my life, I'd have jumped for joy to have that stove. Now as a senior I only 😮 cook for one. I've done this kind of work, and it can be back b reading great work. I'd PROBABLY have put up wallpaper in the dining room.something cool and gardeny colors, cool greens and blues,. But I most admire that they really prepped surfaces and didnt just slap paint around.
In fairness the existing cabinetry looked like it was made of mdf, not plywood. Mdf has a lifespan of only 10 years or so. It doesn't look like the existing kitchen had been done more recently than a decade so it makes little sense to put in the hard work to cut and remake new cabinetry out of old mdf when you'll have to probably cut it out and redo very soon. This is in part why mdf is such a terrible material - and the worst part is that it usually can't be recycled due to the bonding agent within it. Unfortunately the new kitchen cabinetry looks like mdf as well.
The kitchen part of the renovation was so wasteful and ignorant on their part. “Who needs eight hops?!” Most people would love to have a range that large.
The fact she didn’t understand why a home cook would need that many hops tells me she doesn’t cook, and therefore she shouldn’t have any say in what a kitchen should look like.
And yes I totally agree with what you said about ripping out perfectly good cupboards only to replace them with something similar. It made no sense except from a price gouging standpoint, since it felt like they were trying to squeeze every dime out of the owners that they could with that kitchen reno.
Im not understanding putting up all the same boring white subway type tile on the walls in the kitchen.
There's so many backsplash colors and styles out there than those.
Beautiful beautiful job! Lots of hard work am so impressed.
I’m only part way through and will definitely be back to finish,it’s looking great so far and thanks for the inspiration to get going with my house!
