Historically wood was painted, often with a brown wood paint, this was so cheaper wood could be used and nobody was any the wiser, white paint was used for trims and ceilings, walls in public rooms would have paper and be very showy private rooms ie upstairs was just painted with a distemper, bit like paint. ❤
I bet your room didn’t know what it was is probably the living room and the part where the stove was a Fourier my grandma had a house somewhat like that it that what her was it was the walk in room to put coats hats and stuff like that
Our house was built in 1920,about half as big as yours. We have the ceiling vents and the marks, on the floor where walls were, we just left them sanded it down and stained it. Looks great. I replaced all the windows twenty years ago. It helps in the winter. We heat with wood also. You have alot of projects ahead of you, be patient, and have fun. Thanks for sharing.
hey! Just hit you up on your most recent video. Watched this one with interest as you said you were planning to do some remodeling on this home. Cant wait to see your journey. We are just wrapping up a 1906 house refirb. here in tennessee. What a rewarding project it was. Happy to answer any questions you may come in to. (Im a licensed master plumber/mechanical contractor so i only give good advice. haha)
Beautiful house. Thank you for the real life tour. Your refrigerator looks like everyone else no shame. It was actually neater than mine. lol. Nice video thank you. I also love your cabin so much I became a subscriber today. Can’t wait to see all you do with your homestead.
I love your new(old) house, your plans to restore and replace eg windows is beautiful, keep the vids coming ❤️and respect as always from the uk ( ps I bet the kids are loving it 👍
Beautiful home guys don’t get discouraged by all the work, I looked at this way in Port Hope with my Victorian fix and restore something every year even if it’s just one room. What you guys have accomplished so far in the short amount of time you have been there is amazing. The cellar in my Victorian had the same stone foundation work as there was a bay window from the cellar all the way to the third floor bedroom in the attic. Speaking of the attic make sure you bring us along with you when you go up there bring the camera 😊 Loved the fridge footage lol I didn’t know if I should ask this but any signs of ghosts? There might be just listen for them!
J'aimais beaucoup votre maison hors réseaux. Mais celle-ci est vraiment magnifique, elle ressemble aux maisons victorienne . Les trois fenetres sur la façade de la maison sont belles et donne du cachet a votre nouvelle maison. C'est certain vous avez du travail dans la rénovation et comme ont dit en France ou j'habite. Paris ne c'est pas fait en un jour. Hier je dort peut j'ai une entorse du genou suite a une chute et j'ai regarder vos nouvelles vidéos sur votre nouvelle maison, vos bocaux ,vos pâtisseries et une de vos recettes m'intrigue. La soupe d'oeufs. Ou puis-je avoir la recette ?j'aime vos étagères de votre garde manger ouvert cela vous permet de faire rapidement l'inventaire de vos besoins pour l'année suivante. Et en ce qui concerne votre sous-sol j'ai eu vraiment peur et surprise de voir la figure de la fille de l'exorciste. Votre sous sol est grand et a beaucoup de potentiel. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur dans cette maison et voir vos vidéos de rénovation. Vos animaux, vos plantations cela me paraît gigantesque. Bon courage et coucou de France une petite ville agréable de Province.
Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo. Je peux publier un message sur Instagram concernant la soupe aux œufs. Désolé, nous vous avons fait peur ! Merci d'avoir regardé!
Your home is vinyl sided, which unfortunately has removed all the detail & flattened the façade of the house. If you want an original 1900 home, remove the vinyl siding and get to the beautiful wood clad siding under the vinyl. Oh, & restore the original front door.
Just discovered your channel in the last couple of days… love your off grid cabin. Now I discover that we are in the same community. I know a local contractor that can restore and modernize your front door. Cheers and Welcome!
the light fixture in your washroom is made of Uranium glass therefore it glows!
Such a beautiful and nostalgic home. Love redoing homes that old.
What a dream of a beautiful home!! 😍 There is not a “modern home” around that can beat the beauty of a historic home…. ENJOY!!
Thanks for watching!
It is an amazing house just waiting for love and a family. Looks like it found the right people to bring love back into by bringing it back to life.
We hope to be able to bring it back to life and give it what it’s been missing for so long!
Usually the older houses had a parlor. Which I think was the other room. It is a beautiful house and I am with you on why people paint over woodwork.
Oh yes, a parlour makes sense! We didn’t think of that

@@lesleyharris525 this white paint was put on right before we bought the house 🎨
Your house is beautiful, I love the old ones better than the new ones, better made and way more character to them!
I think they’re much better built , too! 😀
A wonderful old home.
It’s got a lot of character!
Great old house. Thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
nice house didnt here one car drive by,good luck on the home guys.
A lot less traffic here than at the old house!
I bet your room didn’t know what it was is probably the living room and the part where the stove was a Fourier my grandma had a house somewhat like that it that what her was it was the walk in room to put coats hats and stuff like that
Inspiring! Love your style and the house!
Thanks! 😀

Awesome, good for you guys. Your house sounds lovely 😀
Thank for the BONUS fridge tour!
you guys have to be careful with cooking on the wood stove the heat and steam dosent warp the tin ceiling ,
I think it will be ok 🙂
You sure cannot judge a book by it's cover!
Good luck with your Reno's!
Lots of work to be done!
That house is absolutely beautiful! Please restore that front door, don’t replace it.
If the door is replaced , it will be replaced with one from the same time period 🙂
I am a plumber first time i saw the big cement tanks in the basements was in selkirk ontario
They are pretty neat! We will clean it up but leave it there as a piece of the house 😊
Amazing find. Lots of new memories to be made.
Thank you for sharing your story 🌸
We are excited to see what this new place brings! 🏡
Love the tour of the house. What brand of wood stove did you go with?
Energy pacific 🔥
@@living.different haven’t ever heard of that brand. Looks really neat with the pivot tops. We for sure use ours to cook on when the power goes out
@@bjhunt4ever we had a jotal at the other house but couldn’t find that stove again once we moved , unfortunately
@@living.differentJotul 😅
Love The Show!!!! I Think That Smile Can Save The World!!!!
House has good bones! Looking forward to the transformation.
We’re looking forward to it, too! 🏡
Just saw this one--very nice. Thanks for showing............m

That’s what we were thinking too, one room at a time and eventually it will get done! We will bring you along for the attic !
No signs of ghosts yet 👻
Oh what fun you’ll have making it your home!💗
Lots of work to do!
Це точно.

This is the problem people always ruin, beautiful vintage antique. They don’t seem to want to keep them the way they are. It’s kind of sad.
You talked light getting to all your canned veggies, etc. Why not just get some dark fabric to cover your shelves?
Qu'avait vous fait de votre maison hors réseaux dans les bois. ?
Nous l'avons toujours, c'est juste notre "cabane dans les bois".
Silly to be embarrassed about having had pizza delivered. So you needed a break, big whoop.
Will you be able to renovate without historical society approval?
It’s on a heritage home list but it is not registered , so we don’t have restrictions!
