We went to Natchez, Mississippi for vacation and found the perfect souvenir! We found an abandoned Victorian home to add to our Restoration projects.
This beautiful 1900 Victorian has been vacant for 10 years. We weren’t even looking for another DIY project house, but this beauty was too good to pass up.
Located in one of the loveliest towns in the South, once we are finished renovating (rehabilitating) this home she will be for sale. She’ll make a great single family home, or airBNB in this beautiful tourist vacation town.
One block from the 100 foot bluff overlooking the Mighty Mississippi, and one block from the downtown bandstand, you can walk to all Natchez has to offer. You won’t believe the sunsets over the river, and the views of the Annual Balloon Festival Hosted by the Historic Natchez Foundation from your front porch!
Join us over the coming months as we restore the historic home to her former glory!

The doorbell was on the back door because it was a “delivery” space. Many old houses..like mine.. backed to an alley way. The ice man, milk man some areas you had the fishmonger/butcher would make deliveries by driving up the alley and ringing the back door bell. I had an old house that had a back door bell and right next to it was a built in ice box.

Exactly 😊

@saraa3418 2 года назад

I was going to say this! In old fashioned homes it was also the case that they might not use the front door unless people were being married or buried. My husband's family used to come and go from the backdoors of both my mother-in-law's and grandmother-in-laws homes. In fact that whole side of the family would've been very put out if someone had come and knocked on the front door.

@Blue-rl5dp 2 года назад

In fact, it was rude for children, trades people or shop deliveries to come to the front door. I was born in the early 1950's and it was still the rule as a kid, unless I was with my mother or dad I went to back doors to knock for my friends or with a note to the lady from my mom. Only "proper" guests came to the front. (Notes were sometimes sent to neighbors via kids because a lot of people still didn't have phones in the 50's. Maybe half the kids I knew didn't have phones at home and if they did, they were party lines where 2 or more homes shared a phone line.)

@samanthab1923 2 года назад

Blue My parents bought 2 brand new homes in the 60s & 70's & we never used the front doors. Always had a backdoor that led to the kitchen or came in thru the garage. It's funny too because we had one of those Nu-Tone intercoms at the front 😆

@icemancometh8679 2 года назад

Tell us more about your built-in icebox. I seen a Grand house once that was like a mansion it had a Carriage Way and then a place for them to deliver a big block of ice to go into a icebox to the house-later it became a broom closet - a big broom closet.

@deborahmatatall 2 года назад

What a charming house. I love that all the fireplace mantels are still intact. I’m excited to follow the journey of this house back to health. I love your channel!🌸

@sandyjuntunen4088 2 года назад

Nobody who loves old homes could resist this one. One feature more wonderful than the one before. Lights, tile, doors, fireplace mantels, transoms... I enjoy your tours much more than others, often I stop watching others bc they move too fast, show their face more than the rooms, or skip interesting features. I don't mean to be unkind, but the background music is distracting, you truly don't need it. Nobody will be bored listening to you and seeing this lovely channel. I love how you love these treasures of history.

@Sunshine-ot5kx 2 года назад

Thank you SOOOOO MUCH for buying a house in Natchez!!! It is such a pleasure to have y'all here!!

@OurRestorationNation 2 года назад

Thank you!!

@karenstanislaw8912 2 года назад

"Pearl" is a dynamite name for both a person and a house. She's gorgeous. Love the asymmetric configuration to the rooms - almost "rounded." Pearl "moves" well, *tiles wonderful , that entry way, again, rounded/special. Enjoy her.

@justasmalltowngirl_lynne5089 2 года назад

Oh gosh‼️‼️‼️. I was born in Natchez MS❤️. Married a yankee 😉. And have lived Iowa for a long long time…but my southern ❤️ is still in the South..especially in Natchez❤️ Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to move back & make Pearl our home 🏡…Can’t wait to see all you do to bring this beautiful lady back to life❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@amymahers2957 2 года назад

Having had 3 boys I am in love with the bedroom dart board door! It’s things like that which bring life to a home. I so appreciate you keeping that door! You are bound to find many other things that make Pearl the “Pearl of Natchez”. Carry on…we can hardly wait to see what you do. Thank you for loving Pearl. Someone else did in times gone by.

@marionlesage4794 2 года назад

What a treasure house! ❤️❤️❤️ The colors of the glazed tiles are so lovely, and that old range in the kitchen... wow! That has seen some serious southern fried chicken dinners no doubt. The whole house is full of charm and I can see why it only took you two minutes to fall in love. I look forward to seeing what you do to restore her glory.

@Halonola504 2 года назад

I grew up in Natchez, moved away and I moved back and I know very well the sweet family who used to live in this home. It turns out one of rhe boys who threw the darts in the closet door just happened to be one of my brothers very best friends. We went to the same church and have known them and that house my whole life. I can’t wait to see how y’all update this beautiful home, and I’m glad you are keeping the footprint and the dart holes in rhe dloset. A lot of love happened in that home and whoever ends up living there I’m sure will feel it all around them.

@p.mckenzie2921 2 года назад

Pearl was lovely. That lovely stove and all the door knobs. And my husband said that a man needs away into the bathroom specially if he has girls in the household he needs a little privacy if that helps. The tiles in the fireplace are gorgeous the blue is wonderful. Can’t wait to see the progress have a good day.🥰🏡🏘

@anetzband1383 2 года назад

I just want you to know that you are giving me such joy in watching your videos as I sit in my rural house in my old age, not wanting to go out much because of covid. THANK you, and I'll love watching the transformation vicariously.

@kerrykuzak4516 2 года назад

Everything about your channel is interesting---the homes you choose to restore; your informative history/details about the houses; your creative presentations and plans for the homes; yours and your husband's teamwork/good nature... Watching Our Restoration Nation brings a smile to my face---thank you!!

@OurRestorationNation 2 года назад

What a great compliment! Thank you Kerry. And thanks for watching.

@aliciawhite5102 2 года назад

I’m from Natchez and have driven by this house many a time! Good luck restoring this beauty!

@kristinacleveland1805 2 года назад

Love her! I would tuck the washer and dryer into the catering nook and make the back porch into a quiet space to enjoy the views of the back yard...or a mud room. I think the door bell was on the back door because that's where her catering customers came to get their purchases. I would absolutely make that back sleeping porch into an ensuite. The light in there is fantastic. There you go...all my opinions in one comment lol Much love from Nova Scotia!!

@virginiasoskin9082 2 года назад

yeah it would make a great mudroom. In my grandparents' old Queen Anne home, razed decades ago, there was a tiny back porch with windows. The morning sun flooded it and my grandfather had an easy chair in there where he would read his newspapers and relax. I so remember that amazing home in my mind. There was the same type of crank doorbell on the side door of the wrap around front porch -- we kids would ring it and run away. Disturbing the adults with its horrendously loud clanging. What I could have done with that house to restore it. I often imagine what I would do if it were mine.

@helen1962 2 года назад

I’m so glad I found your channel! I love how you keep the original floor plan but make the space accommodating to modern needs. Beautiful home, what a find!

@kimberlyperrotis8962 2 года назад

At least you have the original china cabinet. Mine was removed a decade before I bought the house, to make an unnecessary doorway, the original doorway is right next to it! It was a pass-through type with shelves open to the kitchen on one side, and the dining room on the other, a great idea! I’m hoping to find a same-era unit that fits and restore it someday. Some of the house’s beautiful doors were cut up for paint shelves, too, sad. My restoration was going great until our local Victorian millwork shop, called Victoriana, in San Francisco suddenly shut down. Now that most people have had their fill of Mid-Century Modern, and open-plans, these last 20 years, I think traditional-style homes will become popular again.

@magatow1906 Год назад

My classmate in elementary school grew up in that house and I visited a few times. Nice house. I'm glad to see it will be in good hands.

@carlmclelland7624 2 года назад

Laine, this house would be perfect for a - let me call them - "Beginner restorer." There's lot's to do, but the majority of the pieces are there, and I didn't see any major mechanical issues that disrupt a restorer. Since you and Kevin bought the house, I can rest assured it'll be properly restored.

@emilyd.4716 2 года назад

I love her! She's so cozy and charming.

@janetsways4176 2 года назад

What a darling gem Pearl is! My heart was just thumping away with delight as you walked through this charming home. I’m a little jealous… not gonna lie! I can’t wait to see her transformation!

@sharonjackson9994 2 года назад

Oh my gosh Pearl is a lot like my own home. We have 5 fireplaces and most have the original mantels etc. Can't wait to see what you do with her. I am struggling with the tile colors around my fireplace boxes also!! Love your videos!

@barbaraness4507 2 года назад

Any touch of Eastlake added to a home is great by me!

@barbaranance3838 2 года назад

She is lovely ! Where to begin .... A house that you want to hug .

@barbarabell6805 2 года назад

You had me at boxhead window and uranium glass! How fab to have both in one house. I collect uranium glass and that dining room fixture is unique and quite spectacular. I don't collect boxhead windows but really need to start! One of the things I loved most in our dear departed Louise!

@gypsy1588 2 года назад

OMG, what a treasure. The name Pearl fits her perfectly.

@stacykelly9962 2 года назад

Congratulations! Pearl was my grandmother’s middle name. While staying with my grandparents one summer, I walked into the kitchen seeing my giant grandfather hugging grandma when he smelled the wonderful supper she was making. He said “ Beulah Pearl, you’ve made my favorite supper again. What a lucky man I am!” Her small frame stood over her little stove, stirring the fresh green beans with ham & onions and said what I remember her always saying when he interrupted her well orchestrated cooking; “ Oh Sid, stop. This kitchen isn’t big enough for the two of us while I’m cooking.” Wonderful memories.😊

@alicechown1519 2 года назад

She feels like a happy house! Thank you for showing us around, it will be a treat to see her shine again. (Would you consider turning off the background music in your videos when you are speaking, please? It makes it hard for those of us with hearing issues to understand you.)

@catherineengle4196 2 года назад

@patriciapage9950 2 года назад

I got teary eyed in the entry! Such a beautiful little home to restore. Sometimes an accidental meeting brings beauty. She is still in amazing condition and am looking forward to Pearl's journey back to perfection. Fireplaces and wallpaper, what a find.

@Susan.I 2 года назад

What a darling house Pearl is! I can’t wait to see it renovated!

@gailsprangers9388 2 года назад

I love this house. My choice for the bathrooms is to close the existing bathroom from the bedroom and make it the community bathroom and make the backroom the master bathroom. The backroom doesn't have the nice details of the other bedrooms so it wouldn't make me feel like the character of the house was being demolished. The laundry should be seperate from the bathroom somehow though. Nothing says yuck more than a laundry room in the bathroom. Please keep the pantry. Everyone should have a pantry. The island makes the kitchen seem smaller than it is though. I love a big open kitchen with counters along a couple of the walls and a table to gather with family in the middle. I would buy that house in a minute it's so nice and all on one floor. Perfect for my retired age😊

@lorenstribling6096 2 года назад

Could that back room be redone as a master bath and walk in closet? Not sure about the size.

@kristinadavis5515 2 года назад

@KentuckyGirl 2 года назад

I also love the transom windows.🥰 I think they should be brought back in vogue because they're energy efficient and create good air flow. 🏡

@beckyjones6956 2 года назад

Beautiful little Pearl! Love this home and just right for an empty nester family. One floor and full of charm.

@sheilahackney6214 2 года назад

She is Adorable!!💞🥰

@keithgraham398 2 года назад

Yes on potential. You don't always need a tub. A shower saves a lot of space and is just as good if you ask me. Better for those of us who want to age in place.

@peggyjones3282 2 года назад

This is a problem, because I want this one to get done asap, but I want the others to get done asap too! They're all so cute. I live vicariously through you in my 90's suburbs home. I love your videos.

@zzzzipy12 2 года назад

You will restore this gem to a beautiful home! When I win the lottery, I’m going to buy the Maggie Barkley house. ❤️

@LdyButterflyDMG 2 года назад

Looks like a wonderful place. Definitely some gems and great "bones". Even the asbestos roof looks ok in that little fly-by.

@barbaraness4507 2 года назад

I loved the uranium chandelier, but I just spotted my favorite light source in the small bedroom. A bridge lamp!! I have passed up my opportunities to buy a bridge lamp so many times, but some day I’ll have to have one.

@diannebernau3293 2 года назад

G’day Laine, from Down Under. I love everything about Pearl and could see myself living there. The window treatments are so cute and the wallpaper adds charm to each room. There are so many gorgeous features, where do you start? I can understand why you just had to have her and look forward to following your progress as you bring her back to life again. Thank you for the tour. Take care and stay safe 😘💕🇦🇺.

@machellep1 2 года назад

Deliveries all came to the back door. Milkman, groceries, mailman, etc. family used the back door, parking usually in the alley ways. Only company used the front door.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 2 года назад

Be sure to use a little lubricant, Windex works, when you scrape the transom glass. Old glass is much more irregular, and maybe softer, than modern glass. Some of my Victorian glass scratched when I scraped it with only the usual straight-edge razor blade. I wonder, maybe even plain water works, but the Windex is nice and slippery, like shaving gel when shaving legs.

@abbygirl8678 2 года назад

Of course you had to buy it, it’s a beautiful gem! It seems that the trend for new homes is to have a huge pantry and bottom kitchen cupboards with no clutter on top. Many things will eventually come back in style again.

@teresawommack5148 2 года назад

Well you sure got you a lovely home. Congrats on the Gem.

@cassieb1860 2 года назад

Holy cow! Every room has many treasures! I absolutely LOVE that sofa and chair in the front room. I hope you can negotiate for those lovely antique furnishings.

@ashleycampbell9100 2 года назад

@susanshaffer3855 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I recognize those fireplace tiles as we have the same in our 1888 built house. I will be interested to see how you redo the kitchen. Ours is still stuck in the 1930's.

@kerryswier4173 2 года назад

Great suggestions from others on bathrooms and laundry area. My suggestion would be to somehow better connect the back of the house/kitchen to the backyard. Maybe French doors and a nice deck or covered back porch. People like having that flow from inside to backyard for the connection to outside and entertaining.

@ginnyransom-gonzales7649 2 года назад

Wow. I have always thought that would be a fun project.

@jackieboudreaux6339 2 года назад

@mala3isity 2 года назад

So glad you caught her before vandals did! 7:35 Beautiful drone work, Kevin. :) The fireplaces and chandeliers are to die for and I like the Eastlake pull & back plate, too. I know I'm probably dreaming but I'm hoping for a stained glass transom window. So many beautiful things about her, I can see how you fell for her. Can hardly wait to see what you do.

@maggiesue4825 2 года назад

The house my father was born in and I grew up in was built in 1917. The woodwork had been painted several times. We tried stripping it, but the original green paint had bled into the grain of the woodwork, so unfortunately, it had to be re-painted. The house, FYI, had a mantle almost exactly like the one in the dining room. Can't wait to see Pearl all spruced up!!
