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 ❤
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.
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....
@@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
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!❤️🇨🇦
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!
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!
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!!!
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 🙌❤
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.....
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
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
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!
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!
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 🇨🇦 ❤ ♥ ❤
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
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🥰🤗
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😊😊😊😊
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.
This was such a pleasure to watch. We just purchased a 1910 farmhouse in Canada with original floors, trim, and charm. We're so excited to restore it, retaining that historic character. You guys did an amazing job. ❤
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.
Your house is stunning. I owned a 100 year home and know how backbreaking renovations can be. You did an amazing job. I hope you can grow old in this house ❤️
@@lauramitchell6725 I would have to call this an investment house because to say "flip house" is insulting. Normally "flippers" don't care about anything original in an older home-they rip everything out, paint the walls gray and install gray woodlook vinyl strip flooring. This house was lovingly and meticulously restored.
You three did a wonderful job. Luckily, the place wasn't to far gone. I always wanted to do more like this but like food, my eyes tend to be bigger than my stomach. Thank you for putting this out for everyone to join your journey.
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.
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.
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.
Stunning transformation. Thank you for showing great respect to the old house & having a good eye for fine detail. Be proud. The house looks beautiful. Love from UK❤
I am overwhelmed with the love & attention you gave this house what an incredible transformation , the color story throughout is beautiful , love that the original features were left in place & not removed to make for an easier job , you have given such great consideration to every corner of this beautiful house ....the kitchen is amazing & the bathrooms are beautiful , such attention to detail . The house is smiling .....Thank you 🇨🇦
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!
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! ❤
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.
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…
STUNNING results! I would never have chosen some of those colors at first, but after seeing them in place they're absolutely gorgeous. You should be tremendously proud.
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!
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.
I'm new to this channel and I'm stunned! This amount of work in such a short time and so well executed! 🤩 I honestly was expecting for the price to be double you asked for! It's just so beautiful...😍 I'm moving next month to a house that's approx 100 years old. The previous owners didn't touch the aesthetic of the exterior but the interior is... 😭 They tear down everything and reconstructed in the most 90's "expensive tacky" way... I'm hoping to get old photos from the interior before the renovation and slowly change it back... even if it's not original...😢 Edit: acabo de ver que sois hispanohablantes 😅 Yo vivo en Galicia y voy a menudo a Portugal. Estoy deseando ver qué hacéis con la casa de campo, Portugal es expectacular 😍
I happened upon you all and love everything you are doing. I love when a husband n wife work together. You all are both so talented. Continue the beautiful work.❤
I watch lots of renovation projects (particularly Chinese), and it’s so great to see one that is exactly what it says on the tin…a complete renovation. Well done, you’ve made a great job of this house…love the colours and vinyl flooring.🙂
What a load of work was it for you both. 💪Take my respect. The house looks great now. You have transformed it into a modern, comfortable and stylish home to live in. Great job....👍 Enjoy it. You really deserve it.❤
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 😊❤❤
Veder corre quel bambino in libertà in quel bellissimo bosco ,mi a fatto pensare a quanti bimbi potrebbero vivere così in libertà tra la natura . Grazie per i vostri splendidi video
It was absolutely pleasure watching you guys, You done fantastic job turning it around in 3 months. Time period house are hard to look after I am living in one. 4 Bedrooms, 4 Reception rooms 2 bathrooms & kitchen it takes me 3 years to do all.. Anyway fantastic job...bless you..
What an incredible restoration and updating you have done! I can’t believe what you achieved with the fireplaces. Just gorgeous. I hope the three of you are very proud of what you have done. You should be! ❤ Shirley
I love, love, love the paint choices! So much better than all white. The fireplaces looked brand new and made the space so inviting! My heart died seeing linoleum being installed over the beautiful hardwood floors. I grew up in a Victorian Era house under renovation my whole childhood and just remember hours of removing layers of linoleum and stripping and sanding the beautiful hardwood floors. Maybe the new owners can fix that part themselves. 😊 Your attention to detail however did not go unnoticed. Fantastic work!
Thank you for your comment ❤️ The only place we installed vinyl over floorboards was the upstairs bathroom. All the other rooms either had terracota tiles (downstairs toilet) or cement flooring (kitchen). In the U.K. is a golden rule to add carpets to bedrooms as they are warm.
@@TheIndigoEscapeI was very curious as to why you covered over the terra cotta tiles in the small bathroom. Were they damaged or did you just want a cohesive flow? Here in the U.S., everyone is obsessed with tile floors for every kitchen and bathroom,which I hate. Much prefer the rolled linoleum,softer and easier to clean. (I was just thinking of cost saving since the tiles were already there.)
