I'm not sure why lot of people posted negative comments on the interior design of the property. This channel is not dedicated to "on trend" home design, it's a place to share alternative ways of living and housing. 1 000 000$ or designer houses are not of interest here, but I think this re-purposed bank is. Thanks for keeping your mind & hearts open! :)
you have a unique home cause you are a unique guy , i love your home by the way , to me was a smart buy , in those times building like banks were eaven better built than houses .....enjoy your house as much as you can , thank you so much for sharing......god bless you
All the comments about hiring an architect, the appliances, the small kitchen, the small bathroom, it was not planned properly, etc. are people who may have the extra money to do all of these things. I think the place is great and I would take it in a minute. He did the renovations that were within his budget. Everything does not need to be pristine and top of the line....especially if the person does not have the money to do so. Maybe over time he will make other renovations...maybe he won't.
Love your Videos every time. I always find myself smiling throughout the video, irrespective of which one it is. I just bought an old stone house in Epirus Greece and your channel has been an inspiration. I can't wait to start work on it.
I cant imagine howya got people to even try and jack hammer thru the cement pad for a shower. I needed the spare space in my back room to plant the base for the new furnace and they stubbornly opted to drop the thing in my kitchen instead. "Would have taken too much time" Was their cowardly excuse. They did not have to live with the furnace rumbling away in their kitchen and I am sure, those jerks would have found a way if it was their kitchen. I love wat ya did. A lot of folks are renovating old commercial buildings as well as former civil service structures into residences now. You have all got great and adventurous ideas that are hugely impressive. Thanks for Sharing man !
It's good to see a regular person do a commercial conversion. As of late, there seem to be a lot of people with large finances, doing conversions, just because they can. Good find, I'd do it the same way :-)
Over in Petaluma CA there is an old bank that some folks got and they renamed it the Seed Bank and you can buy all kinds of seeds and garden supplies there. Love love Tomales CA.
I would have done more to make it more like a "real" home inside, but its legit that he did it how he did. He clearly likes living in places with little conversion done. I liked his kitchen/appliance solutions.
A great solid building at any rate and cost less to buy than build such a structure. This has so much potential for a great home, however , each to they're own taste .
I feel there are enough features in the building's architecture that scream "Bank" that he could have torn some things down and really impressed his needs, comfort and tastes upon the building without loosing the charm. The double hight and the tall windows are gorgeous :) But it's his home after all, f he's happy with a minimum impact, good for him.
I would maybe do a re-allocation of the space to make a bigger kitchen. But, I appreciate his use of the space, too. It's in Cali, so no worries about freezing temperatures and heating the place. Good for you, sir!
The guy seems cool, and I love the idea. It would feel to echo-y for my taste. But, the video seemed too short! I was waiting to hear more about his story
Totally great space, loved it. I would have liked to have seen a bigger kitchen (for myself) and a larger bath area (for me, again), but he did a great job turning it into his magical space. Fedex deliver guy....who knew! :D
I love the idea of an old bank being turned into a home.......but this one seems like it wasn't planned properly, like they quickly moved in and threw things together. Maybe they need to hire a designer to make this idea work?
I’ve always told my wife how cool it would be to turn an old Art Deco, or Neo gothic back with columns into a home with black iron fencing around it. Damn I’m Sooooo poor!
I guess you can get away with that in a small town, but in most places you would be hard pressed to legally convert a commercially zoned building into a residence...
+Jupistar1: Depending on the square footage, yes I agree. However, You can't lock he door... Lol!! Do they give you the combination to the safe when you purchase a bank???
Great space, but I wouldn't live on display like that. Plus, I bet they have people all the time coming by asking when are they opening and things like that.
Fabulous, not my taste in colours, never been a fan of sponge painting, however that is the great thing about variety and individual style. As they say, to each their own.
There is a Starbucks On Hilton head Island that is in a former bank,, They use the vault as a meeting room.. I worked in that bank YEARS before Starbucks bough t the place..
well i dont want a boling ally but there should be one and again a big guest bedroom (not for me!) and of course the mandatory gift wrapping room again i cant stand the idea of a gift wrapping room but this space needs one!
I'd make it a panic room that opens and locks only from the inside. Install some cctv cams in the house and link them to the screen monitors in the panic room.

What a great home! I love the fact that he left a lot of the interior of the bank intact, it makes it amazingly charming! :D
the outside of the building is BEAUTIFUL.
I must say, I do like his philosophy...and taste! Stylish simplicity!
you have a unique home cause you are a unique guy , i love your home by the way , to me was a smart buy , in those times building like banks were eaven better built than houses .....enjoy your house as much as you can , thank you so much for sharing......god bless you
A wine cellar would work great in the bank vault.
Love it!! "Not a Bank"! When you live your bliss, the small mindedness of others matters not :)
he seems like a cool guy, i like him

They are more than likely bums living in their mums basement.
Interesting idea with the bedroom ceiling.

wow! having an old bank is so great!!!!!! you are so lucky and continue your life in the old bank home .thank you!!!!!

Thanks for Sharing man !
At 4:15 I love how he uses the old lettering to write "NOT A BANK". Brilliant. Foil all those potential bank robbers.
"It banks the certainties of time, it envelops the time, it also treasures time the way it is intricately defined and preserved" ..
I bet the piano sounds beautiful with the acoustics.
It's good to see a regular person do a commercial conversion. As of late, there seem to be a lot of people with large finances, doing conversions, just because they can. Good find, I'd do it the same way :-)
Over in Petaluma CA there is an old bank that some folks got and they renamed it the Seed Bank and you can buy all kinds of seeds and garden supplies there. Love love Tomales CA.
I would love one of these classic vault door as my front door!!! it's such a cool looking thing
.......have a love for the grand old banks........loved that laptop bar overlooking entry/first floor......:)
I love this renovation.
I would have done more to make it more like a "real" home inside, but its legit that he did it how he did. He clearly likes living in places with little conversion done. I liked his kitchen/appliance solutions.
wow he's a fedex delivery guy, he looks like a millionaire!
+Bulky Lee: I thought he was something else as well!!! lol, lol... Cool Concept
FedEx and UPS drivers make good money. They also have pretty strong unions.
he does live in a bank
Simple and functional - Thanks for sharing with us - Cheers from Bulgaria!
Tomales is a cool little town, and that looks like a great spot to me. Right across from the bakery.
Hello Kirsten,
Did he ever tell you about how much he paid for the Bank?
Just out of curiosity what something like that would cost. :)
The vault would make a great sound-proof studio or movie/gaming space.
This dude is cool af
I love that guy he's funny and amazing.
Wonderful! You did it again Kirsten ! One of my faves! Which it would have been a bit longer
Wow. This channel is amazing!
What a cool home and way of keeping the old bank alive!
I would love to live there!!
Nice job!
I like it!
Enjoy!
Empty banks make for a great restaurant location if in the right neighborhood.
Always wanted to convert a commercial space to
Really great:) There used to be an ice cream parlor in Harvard Square that was once a bank. You could sit in the vault area and eat ice cream.
Love this place. Cool.
Some people do live in their own world. There is a gap in between, but there is no bridge.
A great solid building at any rate and cost less to buy than build such a structure. This has so much potential for a great home, however , each to they're own taste .
Love this guys brain.
How cool is that ....wow..
What an independent determined mindset 💪
Love to visit this place 🌹👈
I feel there are enough features in the building's architecture that scream "Bank" that he could have torn some things down and really impressed his needs, comfort and tastes upon the building without loosing the charm. The double hight and the tall windows are gorgeous :) But it's his home after all, f he's happy with a minimum impact, good for him.
Nice job
Very cool! Love the tall ceilings, though it would probably be hard to heat in the winter time. Looks like a very strong building.
I would maybe do a re-allocation of the space to make a bigger kitchen. But, I appreciate his use of the space, too. It's in Cali, so no worries about freezing temperatures and heating the place. Good for you, sir!
I really love this
Awesome house.
dude this is dope. i’m buying a bank.
Nice home, a place to live and save your money at the same time. I would use the vault as a piggy bank it can hold a lot of penny's.
The guy seems cool, and I love the idea. It would feel to echo-y for my taste. But, the video seemed too short! I was waiting to hear more about his story
love it¡¡ Congratulations¡¡
It's so so cool! Love high ceilings
I absolutely love this!
so much space he could of made a super kitchen and a super bathroom... oh fedex guy
I love Tomales Bay!
Totally great space, loved it. I would have liked to have seen a bigger kitchen (for myself) and a larger bath area (for me, again), but he did a great job turning it into his magical space. Fedex deliver guy....who knew! :D
Wish we could get a 2018 update, does he still live there?
Yup I still live here
@@bertcrews5017 but what about 2021
He has a very unique house with a panic room lol!
Looks like a converted Bank, with bed and couch.
I love it!!!!!
I love the idea of an old bank being turned into a home.......but this one seems like it wasn't planned properly, like they quickly moved in and threw things together. Maybe they need to hire a designer to make this idea work?
impressive.
I so would live there, like NOW!!!
has the building undergone a seismic retrofit?
cool concept. I just feel like we can make better use of the vault space
The vault has steel walls...good look drilling all the holes for the pipework. Or do you think that these appliances just "magic water"?
sweet. he's got a point. the biggest room in our house is NEVER used; well, only once a year.
You were just a little too quick, now it's available in 720p.. Give youtube some time ;)
Love it!
I’ve always told my wife how cool it would be to turn an old Art Deco, or Neo gothic back with columns into a home with black iron fencing around it. Damn I’m Sooooo poor!
I guess you can get away with that in a small town, but in most places you would be hard pressed to legally convert a commercially zoned building into a residence...
FedEx delivery guy! No way , He looks a bank owner than a delivery guy.
The vault can be used as master bedroom
+Jupistar1: Depending on the square footage, yes I agree. However, You can't lock he door... Lol!! Do they give you the combination to the safe when you purchase a bank???
Probably not. No light and ventilation...ie: windows....but would be a great master closet. :-)
Did anyone else notice the two guys running at the beginning like they just robbed a place
+GK SlasheR They looked to be about 7 years old. Or maybe they were midgets...
just imagining what I would have done with this place... nvrmnd, my shop is about the same size and I am having fun designing it.
Great space, but I wouldn't live on display like that. Plus, I bet they have people all the time coming by asking when are they opening and things like that.
Fabulous, not my taste in colours, never been a fan of sponge painting, however that is the great thing about variety and individual style. As they say, to each their own.
I thought the same thing, but it's an ashtray with an old metal flashlight sitting behind it.
There is a Starbucks On Hilton head Island that is in a former bank,, They use the vault as a meeting room.. I worked in that bank YEARS before Starbucks bough t the place..
Uh oh! We have a typo in the text description.
'wherehouse-type buildings' should be 'WAREHOUSE-type buildings'.
Very Cool! 😎! I Would Live There Easily. You Can Cover That Unattractive Vault Door With 81inch Vintage Curtains 🤔
This guy is dope af
How much he bought this 🏠 house?
well i dont want a boling ally but there should be one and again a big guest bedroom (not for me!) and of course the mandatory gift wrapping room again i cant stand the idea of a gift wrapping room but this space needs one!
Why did this man prefer to live without a dryer/washer instead of putting the door the other way?
I wouldve made the vault my bedroom
I agree
Ian G. i second that notion👌👍
What if the robber locks you in.
I'd make it a panic room that opens and locks only from the inside. Install some cctv cams in the house and link them to the screen monitors in the panic room.
Im confused, what is this about? when did i subscribe to you?
Neat idea but I am afraid to even think of what the electric bill must be like
Toy size appliances? These are full size in the UK!
I'm so jealous
I'll bet he picks up a lot of dates at the bar next door once he tells them that he lives in a bank lol.
I can totally see this guy in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
'toy size appliances'........
or... "normal size" for the rest of the world :D
If you purchase a bank an renovate it... do they give you the combination to the vault???
I would have taken out the teller's desk.
Looks like a bong at 3:06
This is a little tight for me.
Maybe he isn't allowed to alter the building too much because it might be listed.
