- Hello CZcams family, its been a while! Enjoy our empty 1910 Victorian Farm House Tour! I can not wait to share renovation, restoration updates and antique finds for our new home! Subscribe so you can follow our journey.đ
Our home was owned by the same family for over 100 years and is a centennial farm. We are good friends with the family and they have shared a lot of stories, pictures and history with us (even the king of Sweden has been to our farm in the 70âs!) and we feel very lucky to be the owners of this farm!đ€
The East half of the house was built in the 70âs and the original part of the home was here even before 1910. The woodwork has bever been painted in the older part of the home, only carefully taken down to add heat and then put back on. Its been well maintained all these years by the same family who lived in the home up until her late 90âs and her family before her.
Theres a lot of history i canât to share in the future.
* Architecturally it is Victorian. Edwardian and Victorian are historical periods as well as style so when you are referring to when the house was built in the historical era youâd say Edwardian. Iâm referring to it as the style. A lot of homes are still considered Victorian based on the style of the home (not always referring to the year it was built) and since Edwardian period was only 9 years a lot of the Victorian era style homes continued into the Edwardian era. Especially here in the Midwest. Iâm not talking about a historical time period nor do I care to hear about when Queen Victoria died. Iâm talking about the style of my home. If you comment trying to be a know it all in the comments youll be BLOCKED.
. Ive already stated THE STYLE OF THE HOME IS VICTORIAN! Obviously EDWARDIAN IS DURING 1910 and OBVIOUSLY people didnât just stop making Victorian homes in the US when Queen Victoria died. As an architectural style this is Victorian, architectural styles are specific to appearance and not the active rule of a monarch. In fact a lot of Victorian homes were built after the Victorian era. Victorian era ended in 1901 but many of the styles from the era persisted in popularity well into the 1920âs. Victorian in the world of houses is a style that lasted beyond the the reign of Queen Victoria and overlapped other styles for almost twenty years! - ZĂĄbava
I would so save that carpet in the living room by getting it cleaned and edged into rugs to put around the house.
Thatâs such a good idea! Iâve seen where people will also frame a piece too! Itâs so pretty it would be a shame to not keep some in some wayđ€đ
Me too! And guess what business my brother owns? Carpet binding!
Total throw back! My parent's house had the same shiny wall paper in the bathrooms and the velvet flocked wallpaper with shag carpets throughout. It was definitely the "in thing" back in 1978, lol! The blue kitcken is amazing, too. It's like a time capsule, everything is in perfect condition. You can tell that the previous owners loved that home and took excellent care of it. It's awesome!!!!
Great home.
Save carpet in living room.
Save one wall of wallpaper in dining room.
Best wishes and blessings đđ
Just me...but I wouldn't change a thing. Especially love the living room carpet and the shade carpet.
I love this house. I'm sure after renovation it's gonna be gorgeous đ
Thank you!đ„°
Love this house! The details are so charming. I wouldn't change much at all. Good luck to you.
thank you for your kind wordsđ„°đ
What a gorgeous house! Love all the original millwork and light fixtures and the hardware on the doors is sooo beautiful! Old homes present unique challenges but they are SO worth it!! â€ïž
Thank you! Yesss initially I was super scared of all of the work but it has good bones and characterđ
I love the kitchen. All it needs is new countertops and some painting. The design is so well thought out.
Thank you! I agree! The space is amazing and could be something great with a few changes đ„°
Awesome house, and I'm love with all the wallpaper!
The sunroom is glorious
Thank you! Iâve been wanting to complete that room for so long! Hopefully by this summer! It has so much potentialđ„°
Love your house. A lot of the cabinet work is really beautiful not to mention the woodwork. Even the wallpaper has lots of pretty colors. Can't wait to see what you do with it all..
Thank you! Iâm obsessed with some of the wallpaper, I thought Iâd want to change some right away but we havenât touched any yet. But Iâve got some ideas and want to make some changes soon!đ„°đ
Beautiful house! We moved into our 1860s farmhouse around the same time. Lots of original features along with some unfortunate stuff from around the 1980s and 90s. Weâre now starting to source out some period appropriate furnishings and architectural details. Also, being a traditional woodworker, I am able to repair and/or reproduce some original work.
Iâd imagine you have a lot of barn sales, antique shops, and other sources to help with that in your area too. Heritage seems very important to rural people. Good luck with your enormous project.
1910 Transitional houses are super cool. Not technically Vic, but with some Vic details and some Edwardian features plus your Colonial Recival copper flash hardware and light fixtures- those fixtures downstairs run into the hundreds, rewired. Iâm looking to replace one or two of mine. I see you also have a â boobâ light- so 1990s/ 2000s. Itâs a fun time machine you have there!
Mine is 1906. Currently Iâm demoâing the tiled 1980s kitchen to put in a largely unfitted one with 2 1902 wall cabinets and a 1920s stove.
Oh I love that, transitional is the perfect word for it! Yes so many different âupdatesâ have taken place hahah especially the east side of the home đ . How fun!! I wish you luck with your project! đ«¶đŒ So much work but so rewarding when it starts to come together.
The vintage red wallpaper is out of this world! I want to live here đ
đ„°đ
Thatâs a good kitchen. Looks like real wood .
The wallpaper in the dining room and the red flock. My guess is it was used as a snug. Its small and neat in proportion. The paper reflects a room of importance, want to impress. Loved the dining room lighting. Well done on your lovely purchase, I hope you have many happy times ahead full of laughter and filled with family and friends. The reno journey begins!
Thank you so much! We love all character of the home it feels so warm and loving!đ„°
I love the sunroom! It would be a good size playroom
Thank you! Yess I was thinking the sameđ„°
Beautiful house! I would keep all the wallpaper; but then I am 76!!
What a beautiful house! Lots of room lots of storage and beautiful woodwork
Thank you so much!đ«¶đŒâ„ïž
Omg absolutely STUNNING. Ur bedroom view â€â€â€â€â€
Thank you! đđ we get really beautiful sunrises! And I can see my cows, win win đ„°
Think the kitchen is in great condition. Just painting the wall whit would be a big change or changing the counter tops.
Beautiful
I love all the wallpaper and thatâs floral carpet đđđ
TY! Iâm obsessed with the floral carpet toođ đ«¶đŒđž
I am so happy to find your video. My husband and I bought a Victorian home that was completed in 1897.
We bought it, and have been living in it since June of 2021. We are working on it slowly.
Yay! Oh I bet itâs so charming! Same, we are slowly making changes. But we have started on the kitchen and some painting, so much work though! Hopefully this weekend I can film an update and share it!â„ïž
I really like your old house. Beautiful! Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you so much! I canât wait to share more projects this yearđ„°â„ïž
Congratulations! Beautiful house, I love the wallpaper in the dinning room with a moody ceiling paint it will look beautiful!
Please reconsider the Kitchen , the blue is so cool , itâs a masterpiece of 1970s. High end design, perhaps do a blue and white floor . The reception room carpeting is too wonderful to replace . Enjoy your new home
What a beautiful home and family. I can hardly wait to see all changes you are going to make. What are your plans for outside? Iâll bet it will be flowers, flowers, flowers!
What a beautiful home with so much potential! I hope you do an update soon so we can see all the changes!
Iâve been thinking of making one soon! Especially with the furniture, thereâs projects for the next couple of years đ but it will keep us busy!
Cool thank you. It looks like the owners kept the house in pretty good condition. All the same carpets in the wallpaper look s to be pretty good shape even though you're probably going to get rid of most of it lol.
Yes it was in the same family for112 years, the last owner lived to be 96 and she took very good care of the home through the yearsđ„° a lot of it I can live with, flooring is so expensive so Iâm not in a rush to tear anything up⊠plus I kinda dig the flower carpet in the livingroom hahah
Love the house. The original parts are wonderful! Shag rug in bathroom made me cringe. You probably get rid of that first.
Thank you! Yes I love so many thing except the SHAG! đ„Ž itâs so intense hahah!
New subscriber here. I have a couple questions. @3:41 What is that green patch in the floorâŠ.a trap door? Also, where is the refrigerator? Your quick scan of the kitchen didnât show one. Were you able to obtain any of the former ownerâs belongings and what happened to all of it. Are you going to share any of the old photos of the house or any of the old stories? If the former owner is still alive, it would be nice to film an interview with her or even any of the surviving family members.
When we first moved in there wasnât a fridge but we have one now! So the previous owner lived here until she was 96 and Iâm good friends with her daughter! The great grandpa built the house and a few other building on our property and he had 5 five sons who were born in the home (one being the daughters dad). The daughter spent over a year clearing the house out. Her mom and dad weâre travelers so in the winter when all the crops were harvested they would go safari and go all over! Sadly her mom passed but the daughter and the cousins and the family live all over our town and own the surrounding land around us. I told her I wanted to do a sit down with her because thereâs so many cool stories! Iâll have to do one soon! It was emotional for them when they sold the house but they were happy a family was moving in đ„° we feel lucky to have become good friends with them!
@@samanthadscott I was stuck on how to imagine why the home was in such pristine condition when you moved in. No dust, no dents, no scrapes, no usage wear. Incredible.
It would be super cool if you had the skeleton keys to all those locks!
I have one that does work! I was able to match it and it on Etsy! The skeleton door upstairs I still need to find one that works though! đ„°
Appears to be Lind, WA.
We are from Washington state but currently stationed in Illinoisđ€
oh my goodness pls tell me youre not the type to paint the wood detailling white along with all the walls... you have such a gorgeous home before any renos! Expecially the kitchen!!! :(
Never hahah! I had some random person say they think they were painted and stripped at some point and they never were. I was like we know the family and the 90 year old lady would have never ever touched the woodwork and then strip it after??haha We love the wood detailing the way it isđ„°
Great home.
Save carpet in living room.
Save one wall of wallpaper in dining room.
Best wishes and blessings đđ
