Beautiful home! It's so refreshing to see someone like you here on RUclips who does not destroy their old home trying to make it look like the garbage they build today (if you want a new home, folks, buy a new home). I can tell you respect the historical nature of the home and a lot of love has gone into what you've done with it. What a wonderful place to live! You are lucky to have found such a warm, charming home in such great shape that hasn't been gutted or totured.
A home like yours might be bad for me, though... I would never want to go outside!!! Ha. No matter... I'll have one someday soon.
Thank you so much. My main goal has always been to try to keep our house as authentic to its time as possible. I even considered bringing back the back staircase and butlers pantry. At one point the stairs where closed up and a bathroom was added. I love that the old stairs still exist in the walls though. It is so neat to see them with the original wallpaper too! Thank you for watching and I am so glad that you enjoyed my house tour.
christocr I absolutely agree!! It is very special to hold onto the history as much as possible. I’m so glad there are still a few of us left that want to preserve the past.
christocr There are many people who cherish and redo old homes properly. Lovely video - good job Jen!!
Agreed. My pet peeve is beautiful antique furnature that's been painted over with a crap ton of milk paint. Sadly, I have seen many antique dealers claim that that the white (chabby chic) crap is about the only way they can get them to sell, these days. I believe it, antiques where I am (southern california) have been a buyer's market for years. Out here, victorians have been torn down at the drop of a hat, to put in craptastic track homes. This state does not hold on to much of its history....very superficial, as you can imagine.
The key is creating a garden landscape that reflects that Victorian era, perhaps a beautiful green house. People took time to enjoy everyday life and the little moments. It’s a great way to live.
I almost didn't watch this because I thought it was going to be the usual renovated old house as in one that's been ruined. I'm so happy that it was not the case. This is my favourite era. Our home in UK is a mid terrace victorian 1851. it was built for the captain of the local silver lead mine. we are hoping to acquire the original deeds.
thanks for the tour. you have a beautiful home and a gorgeous family.
Thank you so much for the positive feed back. I am glad that you enjoyed this. We try so hard to keep our old home well preserved and true to its time period. Thanks for watching!
What a beautifull house & home, just watched this on tv docu & loved the whole of your home & familly. Thankyou from Wales UK.
@@journeys_with_jen Like the bathrooms true to the period?
feel exactly the same way - I AM Victorian and I swear I've lived in these houses before. hate when they are touched and redone.
1:04 that little kid in the background 😂
That's the chost of a kid who ones lived there!
@@samuelclaessens7699 HaHa, I was thinking the same thing. But, she's Jen's daughter.
Beautiful historical home ! How wonderful that your lovely family gets to take care of her ! The fireplaces are so pretty with the colorful tiles ! I can wait to see the haunted house videos !!
Thank you. I do love our historic house. Old homes have always been an interest of mine. Can't wait to share some of our experiences with everyone this October. Thanks so much for watching.
that's mostly ALL that was shown of the HOUSE-a few fireplaces! A few doors and stained glass windows, SOME of the beautiful wood work. Didn't care what was in the canisters, where you got the plastic flowers, where you keep Leo's food n all your daily use things like that! The REMODELED bathrooms are authentic to the home? The STYLING was horrendous for THIS home! It was NOT SHOWN to the best potential of the HOME! Cluttered and the mix matched was not complementarily done. SORELY DISAPPOINTED w/not using OR showing this home as it should be.
Beautiful home! I especially loved the stained glass windows, fireplaces, and staircase! Its so nice that you used the more natural wood color!!!! Gorgeous detail!.... Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour.
Greetings from Malaysia....so in love with your house....absolutely breathtaking....
Thank you so much. It has been fun finding old vintage and antique decor over the years. Thanks for watching!
Your home is absolutely beautiful! You have done a great job maintaining its historic integrity. I just love it and I love your decorating style! Beautiful and inspiring home tour!
Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour. TFW!
Loved the tour of your home. I was so refreshing to see you kept the house as original as you could to the decor. I have seen many beautiful victorian homes decorated with the modern colors and furniture. They paint the beautiful trim work, and in my opinion ruin the house. Your home is gorgeous! Love it!
Thank you so much. I love trying to bring things back to what they once where. I agree that the paint ruins all of the trim work and it is a nightmare to peel off but so beautiful when you can reveal the original woodwork. Thanks for watching and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Love your home, it's beautiful. I lived in a Victorian home as a child that had stained glass windows, etc. Your home reminded me of it. Sadly the home burned after we moved out and someone else lived there. Often I reminisce after our years there.
Thank you! We have had a couple of old homes burn down on my block alone. I guess old homes are more susceptible to fires unfortunately. Thanks so much for watching.
Jens Happy Home That old icebox should be more displayed....too messy
Really stunning transformation, I love those clear drawers that you've done for the cereals, flour, etc. What a great idea.
I really enjoyed your tour! Your woodwork is stunning and the wallpaper... just everything ! We bought a 1906 house last year and I am in the slow process of stripping many layers from the beautiful dark oak wood. Taking everything back as much as possible .
The end result is so worth all of the hard work. Good luck with your renovation. I love old homes and they are so charming when you restore them to what they once where.
You probably have the most beautiful home and decor I’ve ever seen. Your decor is impeccable and honors the house, many times people have an old house that gets overshadowed by modern decor and open concept rooms. The stained glass, fireplaces, just everything. Congratulations on your beautiful home and thanks for showing!
Your home is beautiful! All the beautiful fireplaces, and the furniture! And your decor is so pretty with the antiques.That is amazing that you have some pieces from the original owners. Wow!
I actually cried when I received those chairs as a gift. It was amazing to have been lucky enough to meet someone so knowledgeable about our home. How generous it was for him to return the original furnishings to the house where is originated from. Thanks for watching.
So glad that you honored the original feel of the house and didn't paint everything white and fill it with Scandinavian furniture. This house is like taking a trip back to 1895! FANTASTIC job!
Thank you so much.
Stunning... a house full of history, a real treasure and legacy of Victorian era. You are so lucky for having. I love it all! Tfs, Jen, I'm really enjoyed the video.
I am so glad that you enjoyed my house tour. I have always loved old homes so this house was truly a dream come true. Thanks so much for watching.
Your home is beautiful and so organized!!! I love it!!! I also love how you kept the original character of your Victorian home. You hardly ever see a lot of Victorian homes anymore
I love the craftsmanship the wood work is astonishing
How I wish we were in the Victorian era! This beautiful home reminds me of my great grandmother.
I love the fact that you stripped and restored the wood to it’s beauty. I love these old houses with their beautiful architecture and charm. OMG, your daughter was so wonderful showing us her room! What a darling girl she is!
Is amazing how you have kept it so authentic! It's in great condition. Beautiful
You've done a wonderful job ...on the furnishings , keeping things authentic ! I own several pieces from my family so I know the sentiments and why you showcased things ! How could you not ? An empty house is empty ! Good for you . And lucky you to have so many things that are original to your home ! A lovely experience to watch this 💖
Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoyed this house tour. Everything is so meaningful to me as it captures a small glimpse of the family who once lived in our home over 100 years ago. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely STUNNING home! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
WOW! What a beautiful labor of love.
Thank you! :)
Wow! Your home is incredible! You have done a wonderful job of collecting and displaying all of your vintage pieces and furniture. Very precious that you have some original items and photos of the first family. You have a lovely home. 🌼💛🌼
Thank you so much. I truly love and appreciate this house. I feel very lucky to have not only acquired some of the original furnishings but to have also been able to find so much information on the history of the house and previous owners. TFW and have a great week!
i l❤ve Victorian houses
It’s so amazing to me how you have incorporated a few original pieces and even the photographs of the original owners of the house. That is so special to me ❤️
Wow,I love your home!It's beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Se transporta a otra época!!!
Una verdadera Joya esta mansión Victoriana genuina.
Esos ventanales en vitral hermosos, la niña hermosa!
Gracias por compartir esta belleza de arquitectura, mobiliario y decoración..... Gracias!!!!!
Thank you! You have a beautiful home. I love Victorian homes that *look* Victorian and are decorated in the Victorian way. Your fireplaces are amazing, I'm so glad you left them, instead of removing them, like so many people do with older homes. The stained glass windows are amazing as is all the original woodwork.
Your house is beautiful and you have a lovely sense of style.
That little girl peaking her head out from behind you during your tour of the coffin room nearly killed me lol good timing. Beautiful home btw
Wow. So beautiful! I want a house like this so badly. I would put a frame around that spot on the wall ☺
Love that victorian CAT at 2.40 :D :D
Your home is gorgeous, love love love it. Love that you're keeping it alive by giving it life and love. These are the homes I'd rather live in and tour rather than the new homes that have no character or life to them... not even color everything so white with grays, very dull homes. Your home on the other hand is a conversational piece in itself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Thank you so very much. I am glad that you enjoyed the tour :)
at 15:55 it sounds like someone said "hey" 😳
Oh my! I am freaking out right now. I never noticed that.👻
floralfairy omg I heard it😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
I heard it too. I had to check the comments to see if someone else did 😳 but you have a beautiful home! I think your preserving it very well!
Cause she live in a funeral home 💀
I heard it too..👀
Your home is beautiful Jen! Thanks for sharing:) I love all the details that keep the home so authentic to its time period! You did a great job! 💕
Thank you so much!
So lovely, I am on the lookout for wallpaper for my bedroom and yours is lovely.
Oh thank you!
Absolutely beautiful home! Thank you for keeping the history of this beautiful home alive!
Madison is adorable & so smart too!
This home is a beautiful dream! Love that you found era furniture and antiques! Everything looks like a time capsule.
Hi Jen I’m new to your channel I love love your Victorian house. And I love what you have inside all antique from the 1895 thank you so much for sharing. you have a lovely home. Thank you for restoring history. God bless you and family🙏🏻❤️👍🏻👏🏻
Leticia Hernandez thank you so much! I have always loved historic homes. I enjoy attempting to keep it in its original condition as much as I can manage. Have a nice weekend😊
1:03 that kid behind her scared me, I thought it was a ghost
OMG, no wonder you have so much activity, there is a lot of energy that's held in the house being that you have all those original furnishings and personal items. They are very beautiful and the stained glass and wood is stunning. You are very brave to live there 😮
I did have to get brave over the years. I am really a scaredy cat. LOL.
Oh please. Brave why? Brave to live in a real house as opposed to the toxic thrown together cardboard cracker boxes they make today? Yeah, sorry, I know... I'm being mean, but it is true. In the era this home was built, they knew how to build a quality home that would be a lifelong love between owner and house. If there were any sort of ghosts in this house, why would they be enraged and want to haunt? They lived in such a beautiful place. Chances are, they are going to have happy and fond memories of this home. And content ghosts don't haunt. :-)
When I was a child my Great Great Aunt and my Great Grandmother had big Victorian mansions they inherited from their grandparents and they were so beautiful. I miss the huge houses is been 15 years since I've seen either of them. Lovely video.
Thank you so much. Those big Victorian mansions must have been so amazing especially through a childs eyes. I love it when my daughters friends come over. They have the best hide and seek games ever.
Awesome video, love your beautiful home! I'd love to have a shower like yours! I especially love the Victorian theme, and all your antique furniture. Unlike some, I enjoyed hearing about your personal belongings as well. Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoyed the house tour as well as the antiques within. I have always loved old homes and we work really hard to keep up with this one. Thank you for taking the time to watch my house tour.
That ring bell is just unique 80s vibe is it came with that beautiful house ? Wish I bought one for my house
I love your house! I am so in love with old houses! Looks like the majority is still original ❤️
Reminds me of the movie "Meet Me in St Louis" which I love.
Looooove your house. This is my dream house. Thank you for being mom-shabby chic and having such a passion in victorian baroque originality.
I agree wholeheartedly with other commenters who said they were happy to see that you respect your beautiful home by not ruining it trying to make it look new. The beautiful woodwork is magnificent! Thank you for not painting it white, like so many do. It just kills me when I see that. If I had a dollar for every time I said “WOW” while watching this video, I’d be able to afford to my own Victorian home!! Everything is stunningly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. If it were mine they’d have to blast me out with dynamite to get me to ever leave! I’d starve because I wouldn’t go to the store! 🤣🤣🤣
Wendy Mathews lol! Thank you so much
Did anyone else see the ghost of a little girl peeking around the corner and waving @ 1:03? Adorable!
Definitely from jersey
Your home is stunning. Love all the unique pieces that you have incorporated into the decor. Madison is adorable. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Thank you so much for watching. I am glad that you enjoyed my house tour :)
You did a lovely job! Would suggest a couple of things, if I may . Encase the fish tank table and TV in wood encasements to keep the antique feel of the room . You should also think about starting a porcelain doll collection for your little daughter , would be lovely to display in her room as she gets older. Also , maybe consider framing (surrounding the original drawing) with the date of the house , it will give it more prominence , Just a little advice from one home decorator to another.🙂Again , You have done a fabulous job and everything looks superb!🥰
Suggestion have a small double door made to cover the unpainted area with the date. Then when you want to present it you open the doors
Over the moon about the wood and period details - excellent.
Wow ,thanks for sharing ,your home is beautiful I can tell you love it ,it takes a lot of hard work to keep it so pretty .its so cute cause you have so many fancy antiquities but then your like here my Cookie Monster cookie jars .....so cute
LOL. I love Cookie monster. Somehow he fits in amongst all the Victorian decor. :) Thanks so much for watching!
Nice how you've maintained some of that original feel, and amazingly you could find the original chairs.
I loved the tour of your home....very historic..I love older homes so much history there....the stained glass windows are so pretty.. I love all the wood, and the banister is so pretty...I love furniture with detail...Everything is so pretty....and Madison is so little and so cute...
Thank you. I love the stained glass windows. They are my favorite part of the house. Madison has grown so much over the last three years.
So very lovely,thank you so much for taking the time to share your home with us!
You are very kind. Thank you so much for watching.
Now this is a REAL, beautiful home. I just came to this video after viewing luxury apartments in NYC that cost at least $14Million and they are so dead inside lol.
Wow, love your house! I’m a big fan of old houses... I wish you would have showed us more of your front porch and the exterior of your house... I love wrap around porches... and all of the gingerbread on Victorian homes... I loved all of your fireplaces and stained glass windows.
We have an old house that was built in 1921... we’ve lived here for over 20 years.....it’s a much simpler tall skinny Colonial style house with steep pitched roof... the original part of the house had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom plus a covered front porch... A contractor who owned the home before us built a huge 3 story addition in 1995.. He added a 1 car garage and workshop... a first floor family room, laundry room and 1/2 bath.. and a second floor master suite... And he also added a large covered back porch - which I love... We have an old brick fireplace and a wooden double level mantle an$ we have a built in China cabinet.... they are both wood (not painted white) and so is our staircase... I like the warmth of the wood... but I’ve also been in many houses where I like all of the trim that’s been painted white.. I sort of go back and forth on the idea of painting the wood...the trim and doors are painted white upstairs, except in the added on master suite...
Your home sounds beautiful. It is always so interesting to explore old homes. There is so much character!
When you stated stripping the white paint off all the beautiful wood, you sold me... Subscribed! And now, six minutes in, I had to pause and comment. Breathtaking!! ♡ I cannot wait to see the rest of your tour. Your home is magnificent!! I love how you appreciate the history on this beautiful Victorian home. Heartfelt congratulations on a magnificent renovation! ♡♡♡
Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home. much love and God bless
What a little sweetheart, Madison. Beautiful home.
You have a beautiful home! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it ❤️
Thank you and thanks so much for watching. It has been quite an adventure owning a old home. :)
Your home is over the top...truly magical! And your daughter is very sweet...
marie d Thank you so much!
Love the little stained glass window it was the first thing I noticed when you entered the room.
Wow! What a lovely house. Is that a wallpaper on your masters bedroom? I love it
Yes there is a lot of wallpaper in this house. Thanks for watching!
What a sweet family, she's a pretty Mommy to. I'm not in the Victorian but I enjoyed the tour she gave and they do have a nice house. I'm very impressed that she researched so much of the history of the house. I thought it was so cute her little one showing her trolls honor dresser. Threw me back a lot of years. There was one day when I was about 8 years old I was visiting my cousins in St Louis well actually Millstadt Illinois and she and I spent the whole day down in their basement making a troll Village. We had a blast. Still have a picture. Thank you for sharing your home. End o I thought the b u s t your mom gave you of the holy mother was beautiful.
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment. It truly means a lot :)
I really enjoyed Jen's house, I'm not into Victorian but she's very creative and she made the tour enjoyable. She's got a precious family I'm very blessed. And a great dog to🐕
Martin Jennings You are very kind. Thank you for this thoughtful comment today.
You have a beautiful home!! I LOVE the wood in it. The only part I wouldn't like is cleaning it. Ha! Ha! Absolutely, gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you. The cleaning is a pain! I love it anyway. Thanks for watching.
Jens Happy Home Exactly! It's beautiful no matter what! I think Historical homes are gorgeous. And you have everything just beautiful!!
your home is gorgeously stunning. goals!!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful historical home, with beautiful personal touches. I really love the hope chest. I have soo many things my past pets ruined, too, that I couldn't fix or get rid of. Incidentally, my parents had an old painting that scared me as a child, but I love it now!
k r y s t a l thanks so much! It’s unfortunate when pets ruin our things. My current dogs are just about done eating all of my kitchen chairs!
My dream home!!
You are so kind. Thank you. I have always loved old homes. Thanks for watching.
It would be cool to see this decorated for Christmas.......Nice house
Thank you. I have done Christmas house tours too. Thanks for watching.
Hello, from Ripley Tn. I just love your home!!!! What a beautiful family!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful home. I love the wood. Your pets are adorable.
WOW! Love this beautiful home! I watch a lot of similar videos of renovated vintage homes, but yours is my favorite. You’re not afraid of color and the result is a warm, vibrant, inviting home that is so lovely. Thank you for this tour!
P.S. I believe your daughter. If there was ever a portrait given to a conspiratorial wink now and then, it’s that one!
You folks have a lot of stuff. What a great place to keep it. I'd never leave. Thanks.
bm packer Thanks so much for watching glad that you enjoyed the tour
Lovely Home and Lovely Family 💕. The Story of Madison Being Scared of the Beautiful Woman With the Mysterious Eyes in the Picture Was Sooo Funny.😌 My Grandmother Had a Creepy Vintage Picture of My Deceased Aunt on Top of the Television When I Was Child. I Honestly Believed Her Eyes Were Watching Me Intensely! I Use to Lay That picture Down. When I Spent the Night at My Grandmother's House.😊
LOL. I can relate to those types of pictures. Madison does not like that picture at all. Thank you so much for watching.
You could put an empty frame around the 1895 date scribbled on the wall .
I love your home!
Beautiful home! Can I suggest that with the wall that has the builders initials and date that you paint it into a square and put a glass frame over it? Or even just a transparent sheet of plexiglass with brass screws? You did a great job!
Wonderful idea. Thank you and thanks so much for watching.
Jens Happy Home 😀
Lovely home thank you for sharing! The formal living room is actually known as the parlor where guests would be entertained. The smaller parlor would have been for acquaintances who would leave their greeting card in a silver tray to be given to the owner. Use vaseline to grease the tracks on the pocket doors for an easy opening. We restored four Victorians as so many are being torn down in every city across America. Over 1,200 in Jackson, Michigan have been torn down and now just vacant lots take their place.
It is so sad to see old homes being torn down. I am so glad that this one is still standing strong. It is a big task keeping up an old home. Our biggest endeavor was needing to replace the entire slate roof. There was so much water damage. Thanks for the vaseline trick. I will give it a try!
This is like my dream house...
Awww thank you! Hope that you enjoyed the house tour :)
Beautiful home, nice job on renovation! Love all the wood and fireplaces and staircase!
Thank so much
Wow! My grandmother was born in 1895! I am 67 years young! Beautiful home!
Thank you so much.
Your house is absolutely gorgeous 😍and so intriguing the story of how you acquired the furniture.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
What's really interesting is seeing what the US considers Victorian. As UK born what we call Victorian is very different for so many reasons. I wander why the term Victorian is used in the US. Considering it is a term used to describe the period the UK was ruled by Queen Victoria ❤
This house is breathtaking! I really wished I lived in a house like that! I am going to inherit my grandmother's house from the 1920s but it is falling apart
A random gay artist It is definitely a labor of love. If you can find enjoyment in the refurbishment process the reward will be worth it😊
The wood of the house is so beautiful and warm, I'm sad that a previous owner thought it would look better in white. Your decorating is gorgeous as well
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful home. I’m from Massachusetts, and live in an antique farm house. Envious you were able to snag this GORGEOUS home! Lucky duck! 👍🏻
Stunning!!!!!
Thanks for inviting us in Jen. It is so nice to see someone who could appreciate natural wood and understand how it is more fitting for a Victorian home. Is there a video of the outside?
The wall with the sign and date would look wonderful with a empty large photo frame
Your house is gorgeous. You must have put a lot of time and thought into decorate the interior.
Your home is si beautiful and full of character.
Thank you so much. I do love old historic homes.
Some of those houses built in the 1890s still had gas lighting fixtures with the electric fixtures. Their chandeliers would have four branches; two gas and two electric originally. Today, the gas light branches would have been fitted with electric.
