  • OUR VICTORIAN TERRACED HOUSE: Rooms we haven't shared before// Hello, We have received so many questions from you that you would love to see more of our house. So here it is: We are sharing some rooms that you haven't seen before and our next project. We love our Victorian terraced house as it's the perfect size for us. Hope you like it. Have a lovely weekend. Kirsten & Joerg x
    ONE MORE THING: People keep asking about wanting to see our house from outside and more (the exact location, whether the house is end or mid terrace, where we park the car etc.): It's all well but please also understand that we still want to be private people and we think we share a fair amount of our life on the web as it is but not all. Hope you understand and respect our privacy as well. Thanks!

    The way you each look st one another, Kirsten... is sweeter than can be described.

    Your home is beautiful! My husband and I live in an old German farmhouse, and believe me it’s a work in progress! There’s so much needing done and to be quite honest we haven’t changed very much as I call it a quirky house. You can open a doorway and inside you’ll find three more doors, however we’re hoping to sell our home this year and in Germany people who buy are really only interested in heating, windows and a safe and watertight roof. When homes are sold in the UK, they are presented to buyers, it’s not like that here, considering most people take their kitchens with them and all you see are four bare walls. Anyway, I just love watching your videos, enjoy your beautiful home, from the Wee Scot in Germany 😊

    Here is the Midwest USA, we call those windows in the ceiling "skylight" windows. One of the problems with skylights are that sometimes the seal gets old and they leak when it rains hard. If you have a tiny room next to a bedroom, they could be called a "dressing room" or "walk-in closet." All your clothing gets stored in the walk-in room in cupboards or hang from closet rods. My aunt lived in an older home that had a dressing room leading off her master bedroom and the on-suite opened into the dressing room. There was a separate on-suite for their boys next to their on-suite, but they were not connected (except for the plumbing inside the walls.) Do you have a cellar or what we call a basement under your ground floor for storage?

    Both you&the previous owners of the house have done a perfect job! Let's be honest,- typical Vistorian houses for middle class have often been too cold&dark for modern taste. Victorians often used dark-green, dark-brown and dark-red colors for decorating, partly due to 19-century fashion, and also because particals of soot&ash, which were the result of burning the coal in their fireplaces, were quickly covering all surfaces; even with intense everyday cleaning light walls&furniture would have no chance to keep their color. I think, that extra windows, installed by previous owners, and beautiful pastel colors, which you have chosen so wisely, make this house look both pretty & "moderatly modern", but at the same time increase it's old-fashion charm.

My wish came true as I followed you on the wonderful tour of your amazing terrace house. It's like a little piece of Paradise as far as I'm concerned. I love your taste in decorating. I'm so happy to have found your channel and I look at it every day because I have a lot of catching up to do. Your walks inspire me to go for nature walks and I have started to do that just around the neighborhood thus discovering my surroundings. I love when you and your husband cook and bake.

    Dear Kirsten and Joerg,
    Just viewed this video which you made three years ago. Many thanks for your generosity in letting viewers into your home. It was also interesting to compare it with the current changes you have made. Just lovely.

    I love your home. Cozy and perfect for the two of you. The tiny bedroom is “the box room.” I always wondered if that was the baby nursery in days gone by.

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  Před 4 lety +3

      Thanks so much! Yes, box room, We don't have that in Germany and were actually shocked that some of those box rooms are even smaller in the new houses here :)

      carol King It’s been only 50 years for me! My first hubby was from Manchester. My sleeping place when I stayed at his parents council house was in the “box room”.

      I just know that the tiny room would be mine. I love it.😘😘

      They were called box rooms because they were situated above a stairway which protruded into the room a little bit and so then had to be 'boxed in" ..a single bed would fit the space. But that is an extremely small "box' room.

    So much character. I think it`s far nicer to live in a property for a while and work your way through each room as your feel for the place and understanding of your needs develop, too many rush and do everything immediately and then end up making costly mistakes and regretting choices. Thanks for the tour XX

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks so much! Yes, that's how we feel too, we simply don't want to rush into things and then regret our choices.

    Absolutely LOVE your beautiful house, the ambience, the colours you have chosen, the way you have decorated & modernised for comfortable living whilst maintaining it's Victorian authenticity. I live in Sydney - many areas here (ie Paddington) have Victorian terraces & yours would be a fine example of how to renovate many of them. Congratulations.

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  Před 4 lety

      Thanks so much! Yes, so true, Joerg lived in Sydney for a while as a small boy. We were quite lucky to find it like this, it has been modernised before we bought it so we can put our finishing touches to it.

    Originally when those kind of houses were built, all the children would have slept in o ne room and the very tiny ‘bedroom’ was known as a box room and used mainly for storage. It was only a few decades ago that people started referring to them as bedrooms estate agents could then sell what was really a two bedroomed house as a ‘three’ bedroomed house.

    Your elegant yet welcoming home is so like you dressed to the tee yet friendly and warm. We here in the states love house tours especially homes of character. When I lived in Maryland I always looked forward to Spring when the Plantation Homes in Virginia allowed tours. Especially the larger ones along the Potomac. Thank you for opening your lovely home to us and making us feel most welcome. Every video is a treat ❤

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  Před 4 lety +3

      Thanks so much! Oh yes, we simply love character house tours as well, can never get enough. With all the manor house in the UK, there's always something to visit.

    I am renovating my 1800s victorian cottage in Connecticut. Your videos are fortification for my soul . It has been grey for two weeks and my motivation for indoor tasks has waned . I am drawing inspiration from your patience with the process of creating your domicile. It is getting me to press forward with the heat gun and stripper and get back on task with my vision in spite of budget constraints.

    As a recent subscriber to your channel, I must tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos! I love everything about your home & style and you are such a lovely couple 😊. I grew up in Cheshire, in a little village near Tarporley, and I went to school in Chester, so I know some of the areas where you go for walks - I am having nostalgic reminders of my childhood! Thank you! x

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful discoveries around England, the UK and even Germany. I enjoy old british houses so much and unfortunately haven't been able to travel any more for several years now, so I travel in your wake and like it very much. I also enjoy your smooth and very respectful speech and attitude. Watching your videos is almost like a meditation for me. I'll watch you at night, before bed time and I can dream on in my sleep. Thank you Kirsten and Jörg

We have been in our home for 17 years and still have a lot to do..... And as time flows, we also make changes to what we made in the past. Homes are as alive as we are I feel... Constant story being told and recorded in the walls... Stay safe and hugs from the woods...

    I love the colors in your home. I wish I could do that but unfortunately I live in an apt. And we are not allowed to decorate. So I include my colors by using accessories. But I really do love the thin, long style of your house too.😘🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶🤶

    It’s delightful to see your finishing touches to your house.
    I love your uniqueness from both of you.
    My daughter lives in a Victorian cottage..but she has a big garden;she loves it.
    Have you any open fires or log burner Kirsten ?
    Joerg has good taste in paint colour..I like it too.
    Small bedrooms are called the box room.
