AT LAST!! The kitchen this beautiful Victorian Home is complete! When we bought this beauty her kitchen was less than spectacular. It suffered from what many historic homes suffer: evolving design. It doesn’t sound bad, right? But it often is. As plumbing needs changed, as space use changed, as technology advanced, bits and pieces of this space were updated at a time. This space hadn’t been fully reimagined since it was built, and that leads to drab design, poor function, and outdated finishes.
We faced a multitude of challenges in the space. Three doors and two windows meant there was no way to accommodate typical kitchen cabinets. Layers of old flooring held in water that caused rot. Plaster was crumbling and falling off the walls. It was about as unappetizing a space as you can imagine. This gave us the chance to get really creative with our design, and the result is possibly our favorite room we’ve ever created!
We have produced the ultimate kitchen island. In one amazing space we have all your kitchen needs at your fingertips! Who needs a “work triangle” when all you need is within arms reach! Better still, we were able to keep this space looking completely period appropriate. When you look into the front door straight back to the kitchen, you see something very similar to what would have been seen 100 years ago.
Mixed together are the rich wood tones of historic cabinets, the natural patterns of stone, aged but restored wood floors and the perfect earthy paint colors. Peek inside the expansive pantry where we’ve once again thought about what you use and how you use it, pairing a full size refrigerator next to the microwave, but both out of view of the main room.
We want to thank AJmadison.com who made the normally painful appliance buying experience an absolute BREEZE. We were able to order all our appliance online, selecting from their HUGE in stock inventory, and had our appliances in hand in less than three weeks. The customer service was absolutely top tier, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone appliance shopping.
We feel like we have created the most amazingly functional and aesthetically pleasing space imaginable. It was a joy to think outside the box on this kitchen design, and breathe new life into a space that has been the center of a home for more than a century!

You’d have to be crazy not to love this kitchen design!!! It looks movie-set ready. It’s gorgeous! 10/10
I guess I'm crazy then. I have never seen a less charming kitchen.
I'm a sous chef and my favorite things about the kitchen are the stove and the HUGE amount of counter space; it also looks like you've put in a pot filler above the burners, so that gets thumbs up from me too. The layout actually reminds me of commercial kitchens, so while I'm not used to seeing this in a home, it makes sense to me as a chef. Great job guys, as always!
Thank you for answering my one question about the kitchen design - the tap (which I thought was a water filter) by the hobs- it makes perfect sense now!
The sink on the opposite of the cooktop seems like it would be difficult. I'm always washing my hands or something and would have to keep going around the counter top to do it. But maybe I'm just used to other layouts I've had and not this one! I LOVE the floors, pantry and storage units. The whole space seems very spacious!
It's closer to the victorian setup! Which was an actual work kitchen!
@@lauraoergel6003 sort of but not really. In a Victorian kitchen, typically the cooking stove and sink would both be on an outside wall, unlike here where both are on the island. You'd also see shelves for utensils and sometimes a cabinet on the walls. A Victorian kitchen would frequently utilize a large table that sat in the middle of the room and was used solely for assembly of items and never for the purpose of eating.
Conversely, here we have one island that incorporates all functions into one, including preparation, storage, cooking, washing and dining.

I think masterpiece is an understatement! Wow! Those floors warm up the kitchen and the tiles refine it. The marble is stunning and that pantry invites creativity to begin. Just love it and appreciate the work and dedication you put in to this one space. Wow!
The kitchen is pure genius. The floor is stunning. That house got lucky when you bought it.
I just don’t know what I love more! Is it the tile, the floors, the antique cabinets, the pantry, the countertops? I guess I’m just going to say all of it within your genius design! Well done! ❤️😊
Yes!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow. Hard to pick one favorite among all of that fabulousness. One small detail I noticed was the bead board in the pantry. The sides running horizontal, while the back runs vertical. No reason for that to catch one’s eye, but it does. Keeping the windows and doors where they belong shows that “This ain’t your Mamas HGTV flip.” Well done.
Wow wow wow 😍
You have both knocked this out of the park! I thought it was going to be impossible to top the apothecary bathroom at the judges house but I was wrong.
That kitchen is just amazing. The design is epic, the way you have thought of everything, not just the physical layout but also the social experience is next level. It shows how deeply you care about what you do.
I love it. 10/10 and 2 thumbs up from me.
P.S Laine you rocked that tyvek suit. 😍👍🏻🤣
I was thinking the same! Wouldn't it be amazing to cut and paste our favorite features from their builds and make a single amazing home? I wouldn't even care what anyone else thought!
Envy the new owner of this now wonderful home.
Wow!!!! Not only did you create an amazing kitchen, but you staged it beautifully too!!! My favorite thing is the general store cabinets! A standing ovation!
👏👏👏👏👏
Ummmmm whoa! Absolutely gorgeous!
I think if Lane and Kev didn’t love these houses they worked on, it wouldn’t look so lovely!
I absolutely love these guys for how much respect and perseverance they have!
What a stunning kitchen! 🤩
Those cabinets fit like a glove...like they were meant to be there all along! You did a fabulous job!
I loved hearing the whole story of this kitchen. Yes it turned out amazingly beautiful (congrats!), but to actually learn the story (and see excerpts) of the work it took makes it resonate so much. I still can’t believe what y’all went through on the grout, and it’s amazing how you saw it through. Big 👏🏼.
loved their enthusiasm
I knew it! I knew my mind would be blown BUT…I never could have imagined this much perfection. Every inch of every space is beyond words. Laine, if the day should ever come that I would be blessed to have my own Pearl, you will be the designer and I will pay you a gagillion dollars, or somewhere thereabouts. Love you guys! 💚💜😍🎉🥳💋🎁💝💐
The kitchen is gold! I truly believe you’ve broken through barriers and others will be following your kitchen design with their homes. So so amazing!
It is perfectly beautiful in every single way. Favorite is tiled walls, I have never imagined anything like this!❤. The pantry is pure gold!
You guys have knocked it out of the park with this one!!! This kitchen is a Victorian Home lover's dream come true! It is truly stunning in every way and I love it ALL!!! You are both so talented and do absolutely incredible work. I am completely in awe......WOW!
I would love to know how many working hours you both spent on Pearl, how many planning hours went into it, and how much time you both had to spend on getting supplies. I hope it has been as fun for you all as it has been for me watching the process. Ty for taking me along. ❤️❤️ to you both and hope you have a nice vacation planned soon! ❤️❤️
I CAN JUST IMAGINE MAKING BREAD OR ROLLING OUT PIE DOUGH OUT ON THAT COUNTER TOP, AMAZING!!!
That's beautiful! I'd extend the fridge across that wall, though, with my family eating so much fruit and veggies! Those tiles! Cabinets! Wall hooks! I can only hope a lot of people renovating old houses watch this, so that they won't RUIN their houses with modern kitchens.
The message of this video: If "you" think you are beaten, you are! However, we don't think we are beaten! Now, get out of our way because we have a major transformation to do, and it will be done! 😂😂
Talk about a transformation! I am completely astounded by the outcome! That original kitchen looked like something you'd see on the 1980s sitcome "Mama's Family." Drum roll.....welcome to the transformed kitchen! It is completely breathtaking and extremely well done! Laine, that kitchen and pantry is fabulous, beautiful, meticulous, very functional, and well planned and put together! All of the applicances and furnishing are exquisite and well placed. All of the wall, floor, and related finishes complement each other so very well. The paint colors are very nice. Can I have this kitchen?
You did a phenomenal job with this kitchen. I love how you think outside the box to creatively come up with a design that is appropriate for the house. The new owner is so lucky.
Every bit of whinging is justified and every bit of praise earned. Congratulations.
The refrigerator out of sight is a winner in my book.
Great job.
Wow! I feel like that’s my response to every room you finish. But it truly leaves me awestruck. The new owners will be very lucky to have this kitchen! Way to go…once again 😄
The kitchen is AMAZING! The pantry is PERFECT! The cabinets look like they look like the have been there the entire time, though I would have reversed them. The herb drying rack truly finishes the pantry. The adorable antique nick knacks in the cubbies of the cabinets are precious.
I hope the new homeowners appreciate all of the hard work and love that went into creating these spaces.
Thank you for this lovely reveal of Pearl's kitchen!
I can't wait until you return to finish Melly!
I enjoy your videos so much. I know this is edited, but, you two are a joy to watch and seem to be soooo compatible. Pearl turned out to be beautiful. Kevin, I remember the first video I watched, you wouldn't comment to much. Not so much now, you and Laine compliment each other so well. Can't wait for the next project.
I’ve been cheering you on & praying for you guys these past couple weeks. It looks beyond amazing, lovely, beautiful, fabulous & all the appropriate adjectives 😂! Such awesome work!❤❤❤
The kitchen design is STUNNING! You guys really put your hearts into the design, and it shows! Great job! Love it!
The kitchen looks phenomenal! Your imagination took you so far out of the box, and the finished product was brilliant. Congratulations! ❤
The dining room wallpaper and light fixture are beyond beautiful!
What an incredible space! Outstanding! You've knocked this one out of the park for sure! Can't wait to see the entire finished house!
I love how functional this “unconventional” kitchen is!! It’s an amazing use of space! And with all that white tile you can use more moody colored paint without dampening the mood! XD WELL DONE! Can’t wait to see the the rest of the house!
Not only did you knock that kitchen out of the park, you are now placed in superstar status!
Watching that floor being stripped was very satisfying 😊
I adore those old linoleum rugs! Our old house has the original linoleum in the upstairs bathroom, the middle worn smooth and the pattern walked over so many times it has disappeared. We love that it hasn't been ripped up and thrown in a dumpster.
Now This Can Be The Trend. Face into the kitchen and still look out the window doing the dishes. Stunning. I want to put big beautiful things on the top of those hutches.
I love listening to Laine talk about this house, really all of the houses! She is so excited about this and so passionate and it shows in every reveal video. Got to love it so much! This kitchen is a dream kitchen. Well done you guys! Well done.
Absofreakinlutely a Masterpiece! ❤ those floors ❤. I love how the island contains all that is needed with the full sized fridge in the pantry. Well done Kevin and Laine! I am going to miss Pearl! 😊
I absolutely love the kitchen ! Congratulations 😊 What a journey, I am always amazed, how you envision bringing the new, yet keeping true to the time period. Finding those two hutches for cabinets was ingenious. You two always not only restore, but your work reflects the (love) you have for restoring these remarkable homes. I am celebrating with you today ❤🎉
Absolutely stunning. I love how you went against the grain and stayed true to one style and time period...rather than mixing traditional/historical/ with modern elements, as is usually done.
The problem with current homes is we don't have big pantries like these old homes had.
You both did a stellar job!!!!!
She's a gem of a kitchen.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING NOTHING BUT PERFECTION THE CABINETS BRING THE WHOLE SPACE TOGETHER TO GIVE IT THE CREATIVE AND UNIQUE DESIGN THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT SELLING IT I SURE COULD'NT
This is absolutely gorgeous, you two!! The colors, the cabinets, that pantry 🥰!! Such a lot of hard work, but it definitely paid off because it is perfect!
This kitchen is a work of art! The thought and work that went into this space is simply remarkable!! The tile work, floors, pantry, color choices and layout... Obsessed 😍
I LOVE that pantry!!! And I love that you can’t really see an ugly fridge in the kitchen!
Those cabinets by the chimney stack! OMG!!!! I need...so much inspiration for the kitchen in my 1904.
No words. Brain is blown! The most phenomenal kitchen restoration ever. My most favorite thing is impossible to choose. But that tile is forever imprinted into my brain and soul! What a true love story Kevin and Laine! Big love!!!! CONGRATULATIONS to you guys!🎉 The stuff dreams are made of (but lots of blood, sweat, and BRAINS also!) ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ingenious work space design and great to have the room around it without a big block of a refrigerator in the way. Fridge is nice tucked into the pantry with the handy counter space in front of the microwave.The subway tiles and kitchen floor are gorgeous. Love the creamy tone and flow of the tiles. Well done!
I honestly didn't think I would like the floors but WOW! I was thinking it's a chief's kitchen. ❤❤❤
"I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!" 😊 🎶
Had to watch it twice to take it all in properly. Phenomenal, of course.
Stunning!!! Genius too! It really is a master piece! All of your blood, sweat, and tears, paid off and then some.
The kitchen design is incredible. I love the way it feels old. It's reminiscent of an old dairy table to me. So love that old world feel. especially the cabinets from PA (where I'm from) they give the right amount of apothecary meets hutch.
I love the Studio green. I actually have a color close to this in my 1920 kitchen and it's paired with harlequin tile. So, this kitchen makes my little heart beat faster. It's absolutely gorgeous, combining new and innovative with period touches like the old canisters and herbs drying. Laine you outdid yourself with this design. Brava.
Beyond words!!!?
I knew this kitchen was going go be THEE KITCHEN of kitchens. There is no other I would have doing my house restoration & design.
This matches the bathroom you did. It was My favorite too 😔
Beautiful just beautiful ❤
It's all beautiful but my favorite is the marble top and THE FLOOR!!!!!
You know this is so much like those European kitchens built around a Molteni range and cooking station. Brilliant.
The tile situation sounds like a nightmare! Huuuge congratulations on finishing this beautiful kitchen, yall did so Great as usual. Thank you for letting us live our restoration dreams through you!
Really really wonderful!! Your creative solution allows for exactly what you said...guests, friends, family can sit and visit with the cook and not be in the way. Such a challenge...I can't even imagine that space with the additional door. Oh, but that grout disaster?!!! I'd have gone ballistic. And even worse when you are on a deadline. I love the drying racks...in my second house I had an old carved wooden paper towel holder I didn't need, so I added hooks to the 'arms' and nails to the back piece, and put it up near the ceiling to hang herbs. I love that you don't just 'decorate', but make a practical, comprehensive plan, then integrate the design choices seamlessly. We still have our original 1931 cabinets with part of the 'cooler' intact, and three doorways, so our full size fridge is just through the opening into the laundry room. It's actually more convenient there. I loved the full story with close up footage, and the final reveal. Congratulations!! :)
This looks original to the house. Such a beautiful compliment to this well designed/restored home.
Amazing. Unique and transporting. But my fav is listening to you two chat together. Just such a delightful video.
Amazing!!!!!!!! My favorite thing are the shelves by the refrigerator, dry herbs and jars… then the the island!!!!! Wow! And the floor!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Gorgeous!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE everything about it!! I think it has a French vibe, with the colors and the amazing floor design.⚜️ Y'all have done a phenomenal job on Pearl!!!❤
I watched so many videos and especially kitchen updates and I will say this is THE BEST kitchen update ever! A masterpiece at its finest! Brava Brava! You guys are amazing!
So excited! 😁
I've always looked at a kitchen as most importantly being functional,not just triangular...this one works...love the pantry,swweeeet! Love those cabinets too! 😊💖
Those cabinets were made for the space! So beautiful.
I'm impressed! You have acres of counter space with that island, and those two big cabinets look like they grew there. So many kitchens have a honking big refrigerator that dominates the room, but yours is out of sight and just steps away, and you have the under-counter fridge for frequently used items. I wasn't sure about the dark green, but there's plenty of white (and the two "supermarket" lights) to keep the room bright. I've always liked subway tile!
I feel the two of you out did your selfs again i love it all
What a marvelous job you two did on the kitchen! It looks fantastic! All your hard work definitely paid off...your design rocks! And is totally in keeping for kitchens of that time period. My favorite features are the herb drying racks and how you painted the floor. Definitely a job extremely well done!
Dang Lainey this is just plain gorgeous
I was expecting tile on that kitchen floor, I’m glad you went with stain. It’s my favorite part of the kitchen. ❤ it all!
Kitchen tour music is just right!
I ❤love, ❤love, ❤love the old general store cabinets!!!
Lanie and Kevin you too did a beautiful job on the kitchen.The kitchen looks beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I loves it thanks for showing
I'm just blown away with y'all doing the work yourself. This is outstanding!
Omg!!! I love EVERYTHING in this kitchen!!! Id say the floors are definitely my favorite. And then the cabinet's but after that it's a tie. I was gasping with delight at everything. The hands down most gorgeous kitchen I've seen! Lucky new homeowners!!! Great job!!! 💖💜💖🎉
You are geniuses .. and I love that you honour each others work too. Such beautiful work. Can't wait to see the full walk through. Fav thing has to be the island. Everyone will be doing this from now on. Again, genius!!
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY LOVELY FOUNTIONAL KITCHEN... I'M SO GLAD YOU HAVE ALL THESE VIDEOS
FOR ALL OF US TO SEE. AND SO
MUCH INFORMATION THAT YOU
BOTH HAVE SHARED. IT'S SO INSPIRATIONAL, I'VE COMMENTED ONCE BEFORE LETTING YOU KNOW
MY INTEREST IN PURCHASING AN
OLD HOME TO FIX UP, WITH MY MANY IDEAS. I'M SURE THOSE WOULD CHANGE ONCE I DO BUY ONE. WELL I CAN DREAM FOR NOW,
TILL IT BECOMES A REALITY!!! I
AM TRUELY THANKFUL TO YOU BOTH. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE SHOWS!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU REAL BIG. CHRISTOPHER, HERE IN OREGON😀
Always had a soft spot for for that home. Reminds me of the one I restored year's ago.
You did a good job and someone that wants turn key should never buy history. Perfection is retaining the character without endlessly taking it apart.
I hope you can find a buyer that loves her and appreciates the efforts to bring her life back. I also hope you exceed the original appraisal after what you went through.
We can't even buy 670 sq ft for less than $475k here. Former veterans homes are $675k.
I'm sorry you had a rough experience. Looking back it's easy to see why❤
Lifelong older home resident/owner here. Having designed and redesigned kitchens with long windows and 5 to 6 doorways in them, I have to say you’ve done an incredibly hard job with a beautiful eye toward impeccable design! It is extremely challenging to put your bibs and bobs where no bibs and bobs were ever meant to be. Brava! Bravo!
I love how much space you made in the pantry and the fridge in there.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS KITCHEN!! You hit it right out of the park! Chef's kiss perfection.
OMG your story of the tile grout. That is why I have a hard time having anyone help me. I just do it all myself. Also Im sure Dr Lillian Gilbreth would be proud of your kitchen design, you took into consideration todays needs and function.
OMG! A few years back I designed an historic kitchen w/a "mega island" (in order to preserve some lovely windows) with the fridge in the pantry :D I don't know why it didn't occur to me to put a second undercounter fridge right there in the prep space :`( I wish I'd discovered this channel sooner!
Love it all, but the tile walls and the the floor and the colors are perfect!!!
Those checkerboard floors 😍!!! Always been my dream.
It is so beautiful!! The room is sooo small, but you used every inch effectively. All the extra touches make it amazing!! My favorite thing is the pantry!! I love everything about it, especially since you painted the ceiling the same as the walls!! My least favorite is the tile on the walls, and that's only because I like putting things on the walls, and tile makes it so difficult to place a nail. The new owners are so lucky you all were the renovaters of this beautiful home!!
We use command strips and they easily hold your paintings or whatever you’d like on the walls.
Whatever your sale price on this house was, it had to be way too low!! Y’all are flipping amazing at what you do! The work and hours you put into this was phenomenal!! No one can compare!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I LOVE every part of the kitchen, I love the contrast of the dark green and the burnt orange in the pantry. Its SO GOOD you guys! Well done xxx
Bravo! I love how you save the old ( keep them old) with new a touch. Thank you so much for respecting their heritage. My heros! I built a butlers to change where my back is facing lol and free of wall cabinetry!
Wow! What an incredibly beautiful and functional space. That work island is brilliant and the pantry is wonderful. I know you spent a lot of time on the floor but it is so unique and fit for the space. Can’t wait for the whole house tour. 🥰
Absolutely stunning! Your hard work IS this kitchen! Stunning. Thats it!
And we agree as well ordering online is better than going into an actual store, because online generally is a lot cheaper than going into a store, which I would think is more convenient, but becomes more inconvenient in the Genaire is one of my wife’s dream stoves
That kitchen is beautiful! The floor is gorgeous!!! 🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Fantastic kitchen, totally appropriate to the age and style of the house!!! I'm do tired of the modern. Cookie-cutter kitchens put in old houses. Love it!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I am not a cook but this kitchen inspires me to create a great meal! My favorite it the cabinets and I absolutely love that the fridge and microwave are tucked away. You guys are amazing and I’d love to live in this space!
You got ALL of my 20 thumbs up on this!!! WOOP!! and another Thumb up for the Tardis Fridge ! The Cabinets are to die for and the floor anchors the whole look and so well worth turning yourselves into Golem for ..my Preciousssssssses !!! xx
So clever! It’s like having a little general store in your kitchen. Love love love it!
I appreciate the layout this one has with the big multi-functional island.. My 1900 home has a small kitchen that has 4 doors in it and 2 low windows like that. Sadly closing up any of the doors would not work and none lead to a pantry. An island like yours might solve a bunch of my problems... but yeah, I am still struggling with layout and what to do after many years... anyway, your videos are awesome- so many cool fixes and gorgeous furniture/fixings. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see more! Came here from an old house restoration FB group and have not been disappointed;)
