House Tour 1886 Victorian - see the transformation! 

WOW just WOW , thanks for posting, this is the best way anyone could have put an old Victorian together, the new owner has such vision, just love everything she has done here , a million likes :)

I love when people rescue old homes, I just struggle when people paint natural wood white it looses it’s natural warmth and character.

This was frustrating because this was more about two women CHATTING than it was about the house. You could barely see the rooms!

The stove is so beautiful. I want!

the homeowner is ecstatic and loves doing this home renovation challenge . I love what she has done with the house ....light, elegance, relaxed, easy colours on the eye nice balance. Colours are on the cool side which is her own personal style . Colour can be added. Too many colours can be busy. The simple palette makes it look more spacious and a bit modern mixed with period antique. Nice balance ...It is slightly Nordic Scandinavian in its colour choice not southern but northern in taste. Personal styling . Love it all. Well done thumbs up completely.

I love what you and family did to this house! After looking at so many trashed homes, it's refreshing to see a place redone with love and up to code. This is a treasure chest you give to the future and your family!🐞🐞🐞🐞🍀🍀🍀🍀💜💜💜💜🕸🕸🕸🕸💚💚💚💚💚🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

How fortunate to be able to get some of the original furniture. You worked the pieces in great, and that stove! Yaowza!

This is by far my fav Victorian renovation. The Basic victorian architecture is preserved without looking “heavy and tight”, and looks modern, elegant n chic. I am in awe. Thank you for letting us see your home and work.

Oh......my absolute dream home!! Every piece of furniture, too....if it were mine I’d never leave!! It’s absolutely gorgeous, congratulations on owning such a lovely home. It’s obvious that you cherish it!

Too much talking not enough showing around. Far too much talking.

the talking is okay they're both totally happy and enjoying sharing the experience of home renovation. The palette is relaxing and easy to live with . More colour can always be added slowly if wished. It's more shaker lightness than Victorian darkness which can be a bit heavy and claustraphobic. She has opened up and brightened the whole interior space which is very nice new and old together. Perhaps more stylish and relaxed sophisticated than fussy busy Victorian.

This home is my dream!!! My personal taste I would have made the Victorian home with a few more Victorian touches. She’s made is quite modern. But still such beauty left behind from a family long gone. Gives me chills

Unlike others who commented, I enjoyed the chatty tour between two friends. I love victorians and yours is a stunner with tall ceilings in every room. Thanks for the build.com tip.

Despite being a total colour junkie myself, I found this home so warm and inviting, each room to itself, and the wood panel walls are genius, such a cozy vibe. Well done on this mammoth task of a renovation, and for living in during renovation, you are truly inspiring!

Thank You for sharing! After a lifetime of living in Colonial era houses, I bought a Victorian era farmhouse. I moved in and suddenly felt as if culture shock had set in. This is the first inspiration I've felt in the 2 years I've been in here, blind to what would suit the house best. Ahhhh.... thanks. I needed that.

Such a cute video. Love to see the little friendship y’all have formed. Thanks for sharing. she’s a real beauty!!

I am so pleased with Mary Beth interviewing you. How blessed you both are. I have seen a video of her home which is lovely, also. She is a very fine actress. It's wonderful to know in her "real" life, there aren't boogeymen next door!! Congratulations! I love your all white decor. So fresh!

Well, I thought the house was beautiful, learned some interesting history and facts, and I thought these women were just showing their excitement and passion for the old historical homes. I enjoyed it. Thanks ladies! 😊

i actually like the chatting it reminds me of my mom and family friends. also it’s nice to hear how everything got put together and the story of how they found pieces.

I lov Victorian houses - always wanted one to decorate etc.

Fabulous walk down memory lane with so many stories attached to the history and evolution of the home. I was captivated by what you had to share. No doubt, the home was meant to be in the current owners' hands. I am pleased that it will continue to be loved and cherished. Thanks for sharing, Darryl

That could be my dream home right there, everything was done and place in the right way. Couldn’t believe that was a old home that’s restore. Comfy!

The right woman got the house, he was just a sad old man who probably lost his wife and raised his family there and they've moved on and doesnt seem like they care, no one was there to help him.. How much could he do at that age. A Beautiful restoration.

My dream house. Love her style too.

Kelly, Thank you so much for opening your home for us to visit! That's so generous of you. I love things like this.

What an absolute wonderful transformation. Everything looks so light and fresh, sometimes victorian can be so overwhelmingly heavy, dark and cluttered. This home is beautiful and modern but respectful of the victorian architecture.

You did an excellent job with your relationship with Dean and your new home. Congratulations

Absolutely beautiful I live in a Victorian I have been restoring it for 5 years now but I love them the details are amazing!❤️❤️

WHEN SHE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE 'HOMEADE SHIPLAP---THE WOMAN TALKED OVER HER,EVERYTME!!! DANGIT!

So nice of her to show us her home. Great info.. thanks for telling us where we can find certain items and telling us paint colors! Very kind

Beautiful home! Marvelous work! That kitchen is amazing!!!😍😍😍

Beautiful home but way too much talking

A very beautiful home and so unique ...well done you Guys for breathing life back into this amazing house

What a beautiful home and an amazing remodel! I love, love, love the blend of the old style of the house but the newer furniture and unique lighting, those amazing doors in the kitchen! I would have never had the guts to paint that hutch/cabinet white but boy did it look good! Thanks for the tour, nevermind the negative comments, the house is gorgeous and I'm glad you brought us along for the ride!

Nice house structurally. White was not a color used by Victorians. They preferred colors. We have a Victorian Farmhouse that we are working on. The exterior was all gray when we bought it. Looked like a battleship. It's now fushia with turquoise trim and orange accents. Totally changed the personality of it. The owner next to us was inspired to paint their Victorian a turquoise that matches our trim with white trim. One by one others in the neighborhood have been painting their Victorian homes in colors. We're painting the interior in deep, rich colors. Purples, magenta, deep yellows, oranges, greens. Mosaic tiles on the floors and stripping the paint off the door frames and doors to expose the dark wood. Lots of colorful rugs as well.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us .

I can see why the old man did what he did its hard to see a dream die.

Love the tour but you girls talked at the same time and was hard to understand what you said.💕

Loved this tour. Gorgeous house. I especially loved the detail on the stair posts and the stain glass windows, and the general serenity.

LOVE the house but Mary Beth Evans is a rather rude with her interview. Wanted to hear more about the houe but Evans interrupted way to much talking more about herself which is not the reason I watched this.

Thanks for sharing the house and the stories that was great.

Beautiful restoration, modern yet sympathetic to the original style of the house

Your house is STUNNING!!!YOU have the best taste ever!!Im buying a historical home that has been re done ,the home was built in 1887,im so excited!!I can feel your happiness when you show your home,big smile on my face!!!!Thankyou for showing your lovely home to us!!

What a gorgeous home and an appreciation for history. Love that stove!

Fabulous tour love all the details about the renovation! Thanks for sharing!

This home is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!..I love how they redid everything to make it beautiful and modern but yet kept so many antiquated things like the gorgeous stove and oven in the kitchen to name a few....LOOOOVE IT!💕💕💕💕🙌🙌☺.

Love beautiful homes! Just love the beauty of them. I think each home is like a person with a personality.

my mom built a house looking a lot like this here in Oklahoma and it was 1889. and it took us for ever to redo. But looks wonderful.. That stove is great

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the bones of the house, and the lovely furniture! The video was most enjoyable after I turned off the sound and could focus solely on the house itself. I'm sure these ladies are very nice, but the house was far more interesting than their chit chat.

Loved it all! The tour & the chit chat. I would LOVE to see more 🥰

Amazing transformation of a home that would have depreciated to ruins! Great job to my fav Soap star Mary Beth for a wonderful & interesting interview!

OMGEEEEEE! Mary Beth, the STOVE!!! Love this house!

I love all the discussion! I want to learn about these places, not just look at pictures or video so this was perfect. Thank you!

Your home is fabulous.... I LIVE IN A HICTORIC HOME 1853...LOVE

You did a great job on that house!! Love the warm lived in look.

Thank you for doing this tour! It was so enjoyable!

In the many articles I've read and restoration shows I've watched, I've heard mention of the newell post lights from the Victorian era and the consensus has been that it was part of their "over the top" decorating style. If something stayed still long enough it got adorned. What I have heard and seen regarding a mortgage pay off symbol is a piece of Mother of Pearl inlaid by the lender into the newell post of the home. It was a big deal and many people would have a party to commemorate the event. Can you imagine how expensive it would be to install and wire a light into a post after being built even today?

I'd love to see a tour of the exterior of your home and yard. I have a 1894 Queen Anne Victorian that I am trying to revitalize. It's suffered from years of neglect and poor repairs. Your design aesthetic is spot on and inspires me to keep working and not give up!

Magnificent ! I hope this Family spend many happy years here, and I hope the Old Gentleman who lived here previously is happy where he is too.

If you come home and that stove is missing and nothing else... you'll know it was ME lol Gorgeous home !!! I also live in an 1886 Folk Victorian which we remodeled but kept as much of the original architecture we could. They just don't make houses like this anymore and I'm glad we saved it. You have to love old homes to do this but it's well worth it when you find the right house. :o)

Absolutely beautiful! I love the Grey & White. It's the most beautiful home I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful home I like your style so much I had to laugh I have a barn door on my master bathroom also

Fascinating!! Loved all her stories.

I love the owner. She's awesome. Thank you for filming this and letting us peek inside.

I have watched this video many times! I just love what you have done with this house! I have painted 2 bathrooms simply white & am going to do my kitchen! Would you please tell me what color you painted your youngest daughter’s room & was the ceiling a different color? Just love you & your videos!❤️

Beautiful home. Worth the wait imho.

I got such a good vibe from the home, absolutely love it.

Command hooks are great, no holes, no damage!

I am one of those people that love Victorian homes, but hate when people remodel them and modernize them, meaning I prefer a restoration to it's original glory as it was built. Some people remove everything that made the house Victorian which is why I have that preference and it's maddening. However you did such a beautiful job at not only keeping a lot of the Victorian charm, but adding to it and carrying it through the whole home. It really is gorgeous. I wish more people respected the era and took as much care with their houses as you did with yours.

Beautiful home Thank you for the tour 🌸

So beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!! 💗

I loved your tour and just subscribed! I found you from The Frugal Farmhouse who I also enjoy. Your home is beautiful!

That story about the oven and the star and the correspondence between the lady and the company! Amazing. What a fantastic piece.

Beautiful home. I love it! It has so much character. She did a Gr8 job renovating that home👍

Lucky lady! Gorgeous home!

Wow! Thanks for taking me visiting with you! Wow!

here is a real story eith me a farm girl from Iowa staying with my aunt tilley in her home much like this one her home was so homey and full of beautiful antiques and as a very young girl I learned to love antiques and the finer things.

Thank You so Much...Love this Walk -Thru Interview/Tour!!!!! The stories are fabulous too!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES STAR ,SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, AND THE HOUSE IS GREAT, THANKS FOR THE TOUR

You are so right about your stature on your bannister. I have been a docent at The Banning Residence Museum for 11 years. It is a historical home in Wilmington California built in 1864. We have a small piece of ivory inlaid on the bannister that is to show the mortgage has been paid

omg...love this house...she, the owner has done a wonderful job in decorating it for sure!!!

Love how you rescued this home. You have made it into a beautiful beautiful home

White and I don’t necessarily get along too well but I’m rethinking my color choices for my new space! Lol. I LOVE your house and your style! You definitely have a fan in me! So glad I stumbled across this video ♥️♥️

The homeowner is an awesome personality! She's so friendly, so fun. The guest "tour host" (?) Was a horrible serious bore! She needed to lighten up. Gorgeous home!! I usually cringe to see all the woodwork painted too, but I'm glad the homeowner explained that it wasn't a quality of wood worth showcasing, so the paint was probably, in this case, a good idea.

i am soooooo jealous.....lol..... love marybeth evans....miss her on the soaps....btw your hair is just gorgeous....thanks for the paint color suggestions....i have an apt now....going to use that color in the living room...very elegant

I love what yu have done with the place! All it takes is love and a LOT of money!! Lol

What a gorgeous home, I follow your blog so it is great to actually see you and see what a lovely person you are. Congratulations on restoring your home x

I love this house and that tin ceiling and chandelier and beautiful fireplace pillars ... Soo gorgeous! I love houses with porches wrap arounds are my favorites. She didnt show that part yet but so far it is so pretty. I love tiny houses but victorians and cottage are my very favorites. Oh my goodness that sink the marble and stove. ❤ She has done an amazing job. Love the arble through out the piece over the youngest daughter's bed soo pretty. I wonder if she said how much she paid and put into it?

I knew she looked familiar!! lol!! Your home is lovely and elegant . Thank you for the tour!!

Lovely work and so nice to listen to passionately inspired women talking about what they love 💓 ~ gorgeous .

I love her. She was definitely a good choice to sell a home like that too. She did it justice. Sounds like such an interesting story, and such an interesting fella. She also seems like such a fun person to talk to. Great video.

Great job of the kitchen. You've been very sensitive to the history of the home while still keeping traditional elements. I loved the history of your stove. I hope you are keeping a journal of the provenance of items that have either come with the house and joined your family at a later date. So important. Enjoyed the video. Thanks! Darryl

I loved this house but honestly i enjoyed their conversation that much more! The little stories that peppered each room was great and there obvious excitement and friendship just sort of made it, you know? I wish they had there own show!

Wow! What a shock. I watch Days of our Lives every day and have practically since as long as I've been married. ALONG TIME! !! I LOVE IT! BUT,anyway thank you for the tour. Your home is lovely. Tfs.😀

Those are not Chair Rails, they are Picture Rails.

Omgosh! ! That gas stove is beautiful! !!! My brother has one...

What a StUnNeR!!!! I thought it was funny when Kelley said that the previous owner made then Harvey Wallbanger for them....and if he would have made the drinks before she would have paid more for the house!” Haaaa!!! Good one. My grandmother was born in 1886. It is so interesting to see the architecture from that era. I can just envision her walking through that home. I just love it. Really love it. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Oh lovely home!

My dream house! Thanks for sharing!

The homeowner is awesome! The host needs to stop interrupting!
