Brent!!!! It looks freaking AWESOME!!!!! Love it!!! (I would personally change the furniture if I were them lol). I appreciate the look of more period appropriate furniture. But, I don't have to live there hahahaha.
beautiful renovation, not surprising with the standard of work you do, but also worth mentioning is the narration and so much better as to the limiting of the "right" and "ok". dont meant to be rude but it makes it so much more enjoyable to share your work !
Wow incredible build Brent. I’m starting a large renovation/addition on our home (1930 Tudor) and get a lot motivation to go the extra mile from these videos. My bank account isn’t happy about it but I do really appreciate seeing this level of craftsmanship.
Brent- amazing. Thanks for an excellent review of how you can blend the excellent past with the present lifestyles. Your team has saved this house for future generations.
This is absolutely gorgeous! That kitchen is just so impressive. I especially love the floors and would love to know the stain color, but I assume it's a custom mix. I had watched another video where you were talking about updating what does look really dated and you mentioned the 90's bathroom with the pillars in one house then you mentioned this house with the tile in the master, so I had to find this video. I thought that old green tile in the master bath was the cat's meow and if I were the owner I would have been hard pressed to get rid of it. However- the new space with the white is just as divine.
Congrats on a great project! Interesting house. Our 1931 house in California has a gum wood mantels, china cabinet, and doors, but I can't imagine a whole room done in it. It's a beautiful wood.
Halfway through all Im thinking is Wow! The interiors are the perfect mix of contemporary & traditional, I was expecting very boring interiors. Awesome work! Lucky owners, Lucky Neighbors!
@@ponysoldier6770 That is beautiful, from both the inside and out. That and the ironwork, but dang, the whole house really looks like a pleasure to be in.
On reading all of the previous comments, I can only echo "Wow!" I'm surprised to say, I too like the blending of the old with the new. Really stunning work, except maybe when you locked yourself out!
In an earlier video on this property, an area of brickwork had been broken out. This appeared to have been done with brute force, i.e. with a sledge hammer or similar. This may not be true but whenever I work on any historic building in England, the emphasis is on salvage. Especially bricks which can be impossible to replace. The best tool I have found, for both lime mortar and Portland cement, is the Arbortech Allsaw from Australia.
@@BrentHull I should have expected you would not waste good bricks. Talking of bricks, I should be starting a contract to take down a Victorian servants wing and rebuild to current code. The brickwork MUST match the historic main house, so naturally I priced to salvage the existing brickwork. Only the client decided to clear the site himself. Terrible decision!! Not only will he have to pay for 14,000 special handmade bricks, 8 7/8 by 4 ¼ by 2 5/8", but delivery will be least 6 months. Fortunately he has quite deep pockets.....
Fantastic craftsmanship all round. Great renovation. Can you share who provided the cabinetry. I love the original looking hinges on the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Would like to get a quote for our upcoming renovation.
But were those walls high enough to justify that crown moulding?? I was under the impression that you said dentil moulding shouldn’t be used except when the ceiling height justifies it??
Hmm, I think in rooms with 8' ceilings it is hard, but it also has to do with the scale of the dentil. There are some rooms at Winterthur (good historic precedent) that have dentil in 9 and 10' rooms. It all depends on scale and proportion. Thanks.
It would be very common here in the UK for walls in houses of this age to be shades of white. Mainly in the cream to yellow range of tints. If it were my house (we live in a new large barn conversion which is full of Arts and Crafts style oak trims) I would introduce slightly bolder colours. We have a living room (20m long) which, under the oak picture rail and above the deep oak skirtings, is painted teal. It may not have a historical precedent that I know of but we like it - and who wants to live somehow they don’t like but is a pastiche of an original house
In French it is Port-a-co-share. Americans say port-co-share. The last syllable is “share” not “shay”. Either way I can figure out what he is referring to.
@@kurtvonfricken6829 Are you saying that porte cochère has an additional word (à) not present in American usage? Porte à cochère? Or are you pronouncing "porte" with 2 syllables?
Love this project! However, I wish they didn't whitewash the house's interior so much. All the bathrooms and the whole kitchen are way too white. It could have used some color.
