So excited! This is going to be an awesome project to watch!
Thanks Jo! It’s already been an adventure haha
Nice! I love homes from this era. My preference would be to lower the level of the background music or completely eliminate it. For me, it's distracting.
Hey there! Thanks for your feedback. I’ve heard that before and upon rewatching, I agree! It can be tough to get keep perspective in balancing the sound levels while editing, but I’m working on that. Thanks for watching!
I know this is an old video and you've done lots of work to the house already, but even in this state the house has amazing dimensions, proportions, light and atmosphere. Some houses just feel right in those aspects, this is one of them.
Hey there! I absolutely agree. This house was already totally magical in its design, placement, and energy 😍
I have no idea how people ever got so far down the rabbit hole of grey walls in every house. Just found this video and looking forward the searching up the changes.
Just discovered your fantastic channel
Love your creative vibe and your beautiful cottage
Hello from Far North Queensland Oz 🏡🌴🌳🐱🐱🐱⭐
Watching this video in 2024, having watched most of your videos of the last 6 - 9 months-ish where I have come to think that you may have reached the beginning of the run to the finish line and I have selfishly been wondering what will you do once you have finished your awesome house?
This video not only shows how very far you have come and how some of your original ideas had to change and or evolve as you got to know the house better. But I have to say that my heart did skip a little beat when you showed the back deck and the yards. Which I had not previously seen and so I got excited to see that there is potential for HEAPS of great projects and videos still to come!! I know that is very selfish of me but I love you and your parents and your videos! I don’t want them to ever stop! ❤ to you and your parents
Haha thanks Natalie! Yes there is much to do outside with restoring and reworking the existing ponds and landscaping. Plus, we are planning to demo the old shed and build a new shed and greenhouse maybe! Much to come ❤️
Can just See you sitting out on that deck! Great to see your projects. Love the wry written commentary that pops up too! fyi You come across as an open, likeable self aware young man - I’m enjoying following along. Di🇦🇺
I am totally watching all these videos out of order since I just found your channel through your amazing art. But to see the original home layout after watching your bathroom renos has been amazing. You have done fabulous work and have a great eye for design. Excited to see future projects.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait for you to see what’s next!
Beautiful house. It seems older than 1930. The Great Depression was happening in the 30s and there wasn't much building going on then. The millwork is more 1830 than 1930! The fireplaces and tile look late 19th/early 20th century. Anyway, I am enjoying your channel and your creativity.
Yes the listing said 1930 when I purchased it, but I also suspect it is older. I’d love to do some research on the history when I have the time!
@@REISSUED I have some discrepancies with the dates of my house, too. The listing said 1908, but the earliest record I could find was 1912. So who knows?
Yes! I came here to pose the same supposition. The woodwork (inside and out) feel much more 19th c. to me as well. Lovely structure and great spaces to be a home for your various projects. A lot of work, but I know it will be worth it.
I kind of like the kitschy painted tub. Every house needs a bit of whimsy.
Yeah I think it could work in the right space! Just not my style 🤷🏼♂️
Dang your 🏠 is nearly 100yrs old! How cooooool!!!! I 💘 how chill you are, yet super passionate about your projects & the fact that you're super talented is the cherry on top!
I know this video was a year ago but as a new subscriber wanted to see where it all started & watch your progression over this past year!!!
Yeah I've been snowed in for days & fell down the YT rabbit hole! 😂
This is a great video to revisit! I look back on it from time to time myself to see how far we have come 😜
I just bought a ‘30s house and there are so many similar details with the trim and bathroom. Right now I am stripping many layers of paint off of the trim… similar to yours. So cool to see your video. Lovely house
Hey Jennifer! I know how the trim stripping goes 😭 I did it for my kitchen and am doing a lot of my doors. What method are you using? I have had the most success with a heat gun but everyone keeps telling me I should use a stripper… but that never seems to work! Let me know if you’re having any luck with that
such a beautiful house! and it even better after you renovate it
Thank you! I’ll be posting an update video very soon!
Love old homes. They have so much history and character. Not like these newer homes. I bought a Historic Victorian 2 1/2 yrs ago. I’m looking into having the outside repair since it’s wood siding and finding historic paint colors. This is going to be an exciting journey watching your videos ❤
Fun to see what you started with. Your home clearly has heart and warmth & not all houses do.
Yes, it has always had a warm, homey feel even without any makeover! Great vibes from the very beginning 🤗
Cyd in MD. I'm new to the channel, but I just had to ask...do you really want the guest bath on top of the living room? That's your entertaining space. I'd be tempted to use the front room for entertaining. I'm behind on the project, so maybe all of your original plans changed many times. I know mine always do 🙂
I just subscribed to your channel (also just bought a 1940s house) I love your work.
Thank you so much! I bet your house is amazing 🤩
I'm usually more of a modern everything fan, but I adore this house. Great buy. But one thing is I am doubting the previous color scheme on the outside of the house was historically accurate. The colors look more like a hippie holdover from the Sixties or Seventies. It was cute but I doubt it was the original color scheme from when the house was built.
Yes I have many questions about the origins of the exterior. The porch does not appear to be original to the house based on the way it was constructed. And I suspect that the frilly ornate elements were added with the porch since the old columns (that were there prior to the flipper I purchased the home from) had that same frilly look. The wild colors are a holdover from that same look… so I’m definitely scaling back and streamlining the exterior a lot! Be sure to check out the porch makeover videos for a look at my plans. 🙌🏻
Cyd in MD. I just discovered you! I'm enjoying catching up on your videos. I've seen some of your art and your mustache with a twist :-)
Old houses are so much fun . . . looking forward to bingeing on your reno videos, just happened across your 'dated' kitchen one and it earned you a new subscriber.
Hi Andrew. I subscribed to your channel about a couple of months ago. The first one was up cycling the pictures from a thrift store. I was blown. Away. Gorgeous 💚💜💙.
Not had much time to watch anything else since then… but you pop up on my ‘to watch’ videos, so today I watched your latest one on your thrifted haul, then I scrolled through your vids and found the kitchen reveal (Love it btw!) I then continued and found this one on your (first?) house purchase. Such a proud moment but just look at you, holding it together! Dang! 😂
So now I think I know where you are at. I sort of rolled my eyes at the clothes thrifting and up cycles but love things up cycled for your home.
After looking at your art work video again I’m going to look at the kitchen bits you made and added.
You mentioned you are in the process of renovating your bedroom so I’m looking forward to that too 😊
It’s Sunday morning here in New Zealand, hubby and teen still in bed so taking time to watch your vids, cuddle the cat (SiSi - Spanish for YesYes) and have a cup of tea. Thanks for doing what you do.. I can see I will be going on an inspirational journey with you ❤. Remember, it’s about quality videos over just trying to put it ‘out there’, so plan ahead, get organised, and enjoy.
Had to watch! Just bought a 1930s home in Atlanta! 😊
Amazing! 😍
Congrats! House looks amazing, looking forward to the vids!
Thank you! It's gonna be a major before and after moment!
Congratulations 🎉 your 1930’s 🏠 that would be my dream house
Thank you! It is my dream house as well! Renovation is underway and it’s gonna be incredible 🎉
@@REISSUED you’re so artistic, you’ll have to show us how you personalize it with art/accessories as you get rooms done!
@@stephaniepapaleo521 I definitely will!
Looking forward too this.
Thanks! I am as well!
Congratulations on your purchase 🎉. Love the house and really enjoying watching your renos!!
I had not seen the original. Wow, this place was a shambles! You've done a great job!! LOL Of course it did have a lot of great bones. Inspiration for my own.
Charming home. Good luck
What a beautiful house!!
OmG 🙊
Last year I bought a house that was built in 1921 it was fully Remodeled when I got it even though the walls should have had a better paint job in some areas for the most part the house looks great brand new.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Sounds amazing!
Hi new here from your kitchen trends video. I was wondering on the recent few videos why your house feels so similar to Macenna’s cottage (XO Macenna) and I came looking for this. Sooo many elements and features, based on what you said I guess it’s because they are both from the 1930s. How cool
I'm so happy for you😁 Congratulations 😘
Thank you!
Gorgeous home! Yes, please lower the volume of the music.
I loved the tour😘
Is this house in or outside of Atlanta, it is really nice and looking at more recent video's you've done a fantastic job.
Love this home!!!
Gorgeous house❤
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Just bought a home built in 1935, it looks so similar to this one inside! Did yours have a old house smell? Ours seem to not too over bearing but is there any recommendations
We have porches in Canada , so it’s not a southern thing
I like your house very, very much, really nice! And a lot of work, i think. Unfortunately I can hardly follow your explanations because of the constantly and irritating music, perhaps you could improve that. Good luck and best wiches for your project.
Ah ok! I’ll try to balance the volume better next time 👍🏻
@@REISSUED 👍🏻
Replacement windows actually lower the value. They are called replacements for a reason. Originals will last another 100years after restoration.
Nice video but background music is louder then your voice
Hey thanks! Yes I’ve heard that about this video and have made that adjustment in more recent videos. I’m sorry it was distracting! I’m thinking I might do a new version of this video with softer music at some point!
The background music takes away from your explanations. Pls keep music more soothing....inline with the beautiful old house.
Why the background music at all? It's unnecessary and it takes away from the communication.
So I’ve heard. I wish there was a way to remove it now… but alas there is not 😭
@@REISSUED It does not matter now. You gave excellent info and I, as a subscriber, think that it would be good for you to know for future reference. Why add to something that is already excellent? Thank you for your excellence.
@@susannas5238 thank you so much Susanna! I really appreciate the feedback. Always wanting to improve and provide the best content that I can.
