Your plan sounds wonderful! I’m especially intrigued by the plans for Pearl’s kitchen. That sounds fantastic! It’s wonderful that she’s being rehabilitated, not renovated or remodeled. I’m here for Pearl’s story.🌸
I’m excited to see this especially this unusual kitchen design. Relieved you will have space for a standard fridge! When you mentioned the under counter fridge, I was ooh that’s not going to be enough for most people lol!
I'm thinking this may be my favorite video of all... lots of information... lots of personality... and beautiful plans for a lovely house. Thank you. 🐸
I love that we saw your “wagon wheel” moment. I think every couple has one along the way of designing spaces 😝 Also, my mum was one of 10 children who grew up in Ireland - one bathroom and 3 bedrooms in the house… there are some good stories about getting ready for mass on a Sunday!!
Im glad i wasn’t the only confused one in the 80s 😂. I love the kitchen pantry 😍 I can just see that full of homemade goodies. Your whole vision on the kitchen design sounds amazing ! Cant wait to see it !
When I first saw the intro of you guys holding the dog, I figured it was to keep Dilly from getting hurt. Very quickly it became evident that Dilly is far happier basically being a large purse. Wow.
Love everything about the plans. Especially putting the fridge in the pantry to help keep the historic look. Who says the fridge always has to be a focal point of the kitchen anyways! Can’t wait to see more! 😊❤️
Love the ideas for the place. When you take in the whole re-do, it comes together beautifully. Anyone who has doubts need only look back at some you did in the past. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy the show and the lit'l pup is adorable!
I love that you have two floofs. I have a pomeranian too. She is just as floofy as your two are. I just started watching the pearl series and am eager to see it all. Love you guys keep up the great restoreation work.
Maybe it's just me but I see innovative outbursts throughout this little gem in modernizing it to today's living style without breaking the integrity of her past. Fantastic! Looking forward to her rebirth.
Can't wait to see pearl come to life, what you have plan for the kitchen WOW!!!! No one could make a new house as nice as this is going to be. Bless you !
I’ve never really need able to “see” 👀 potential in homes and have passed on houses that I know see really had tons of potential!! One of the things I love about y’all is how much you share and teach!! Can’t wait to drive by Pearl next time I’m in Natchez!
Wonderful ideas! My son in Milwaukee just upgraded a Craftsman Style small home kitchen. They also had the window issue. Into a large pantry they added a double electric wall-oven they found at the local Habitat Restore. That simplified the kitchen a bit. They also used a cabinet-top gas range. God bless!!!
I totally agree about the hallway. I grew up in my grandmother's house and there were no closets, no hallway and originally no bath. But we did have a claw foot tub!! I thought it was a swimming hole as a child! We also had this triangular fireplace that was open to 3 rooms!! But there was a coal furnace, we're talking middle TN a hundred years ago! Loving your pantry plans! I've only dreamed of a pantry like that. So excited for you two and cannot wait to see!!! And yes, Layne has a great eye for beauty! She is a beauty herself! I love you both, and your little pup 🐶 too❣
I am so excited to able to see your journey for Miss Pearl!! I love her already!! Can't wait for her face lift!! I wish I can be her caregiver!! You never know!! Big Texas Hugs to you both and your fur baby!
Thank you for investing in this and all the other grand old homes. And thank you for showcasing Natchez. My deep family roots are in Adams and Wilkinson Counties. I hope to make a day trip over and see Pearl transformed!
Really excited to see Pearl shine again. She may be my favourite house - I can picture living there so easily! Thanks for sharing your vision for her! Are you reusing the pretty light fixture on the shelf in the pantry? (I LOVE that you’re keeping the pencil sharpener!)
Love what you are doing with the house, love the idea of reconfiguring the pantry space, love that you pass on the cabinets to others rather than destroying them, love your overall design and sense of updating while honoring historic elements. Most of all love, your reference to "When Harry Met Sally"! You are a joy and inspiration to watch,
You guys are amazing, very cute, together ,+Lainey.you have absolutely exquisite taste when you decorate, so so beautiful , what a wonderful team you make....... Kathleen
Love your plans. Pearl is going to be once again a grand lady. I can’t wait to she her finished n glow. I was a little worried in the kitchen with a small refrigerator but when you mentioned what will be in the pantry then it all came together. I’m so excited for you both. A lot of work ahead but we’ll worth to save every old house that deserves to live on in the 20th century. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
It is so great that the two of you together enjoy this "hobby" of restoring and renovating historical homes. So much better than just 'flipping' for resale. I kind of envy you as you recreate these old beauties and actually turn them into functional works of art.
That plans for Pearl sound so good. I chuckled when I saw the pencil sharpener, my grandmother had one on the inside of the doorway in her pantry. I remember many a trip to there while doing homework. 😊
I like your plan! All three bedrooms will have access to their own bathroom, and the kitchen will be period-appropriate to the greatest extent possible. You are fortunate that the fireplaces with their lovely tiles are still intact. I look forward to see it take shape.
It is the perfect size house, and perfect size job to really enjoy restoring. I used to love subway tile, years and years ago. Before it became the rage. Now I still like it but it's getting old, it's in everything old & new now. The features in this home are just remarkable, love the blue tile.
Dang! I was going to tell y'all to be sure not to hang that beautiful foxglove wallpaper upside down, as it was shown that way in the shot ..until Kevin said, "Feel free to NOT tell us what we did wrong!" 🤣😂🤣 Seriously, this is going to be a fun project to see unfold. Thank y'all for letting us in on the plan and bringing us along for the ride. Love your channel. 🌸🌿
I love the layout and plans for Pearl, especially the kitchen. I know you both will do a wonderful job, looking forward to seeing it come to life. Always enjoy your channel. Hello from Australia🙂
I love this kind of video where we see all of the plans before the changes are in progress, and I am extremely excited to see how Pearl comes into her own! The entire kitchen in an island concept is a little perplexing to me, from an everyday practicality/ease of use standpoint as a designer but that just may very well be because I have never seen or experienced one before. I cant wait to see how it all turns out!
Guys, I didn't hear a word you said because I was looking at your adorable dog!! So for people like me, just do a whole video on the dog and we'll be happy!!!
I love your doggos! Very cute Poms. I love to cook and I like kitchens that have a lot of space to move around and one that has everything you need within arms length. So I'm excited to see what you do with the kitchen, after all it is the heart of a home.
I love your ideas. I, as a single woman, would use the “master” as a library/office, the larger other as my bedroom, and the smaller as a sewing/quilting room. The only thing I would change is the kitchen. My dream is a chambers stove. Yes, I know it doesn’t fit into anyones budget, but when I retire I want a kitchen I can fit one of them into 😁. Other than that, your plans sound perfect. Yes, I am also one of those odd ones who love wallpaper and feel anyone who “opens up” an old house, paints all the woodwork, paints all the walls grey, and then covers beautiful old wood floors with gray fake wood has committed a crime. Thank you for what you are doing.
This video has inspired us to do a total walkthrough and plan where our bathrooms will be, and the modifications that will need to be done in the kitchen. Good news is we are starting with a blank slate as those areas were gutted in our house years ago. Currently working on our exterior-as there’s so much we have to do there before we can even think of electrical and plumbing, let alone the bathrooms and kitchen! :)
We live in a 1885 Victorian house in Southern Indiana. Our kitchen has 2 very tall long windows and four doors. One goes outside to the back porch, another goes into the dining room door three goes to a side hallway and door four goes up the back staircase. It was quite a challenge when we were designing our kitchen. Oh also the kitchen is only a 15 x 15 room. Good luck, the house will look amazing.
