    Despite all of the other comments from people on here saying they remodeled the character right out of it, I personally love the transformation! Let's be real here people, the house was falling apart and needed some major work. Now it's clean, updated and gorgeous! I'd buy that house without any hesitation whatsoever. It may be really modern now, but who cares, it's still a beautiful house.

      I'll take a "rogue" but cleaned up house any day over a house with "character" aka. Poor foundation, backing up sewer, drafty windows, leaky ceilings, etc.

      @nh_xo1212 5 лет назад +4

      I know right I don’t know why people are getting butthurt over the history of the house being completely gone and what not. It’s pretty obvious they wanted a big house with a big space and they wanted to modernise it? And they did such a good job because this house had lots of potential too it. SO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

    @olive3700 7 лет назад +18

    How serene! I love the combination of clean white walls and dark wood floors. The Shaker buildings from the Pleasantville Kentucky settlement of the 1800's are the same and they are beautiful, even while empty. Particularly love the clean, elegant, kitchen. I just hope the buyers don't bring a lot of clutter to ruin the feng shui.

    1. Does the front of the house have damp or have you put in a DPC?
    2. Why would you paint the bricks (exterior)
    3. The hallway has lost its charm
    4. Why laminate over wood?
    Nice kitchen and bathroom.

    They did an amazing job with the landscaping of the house. The inside staircase and bathroom were nice but the other rooms are devoid of character and color. Hopefully the furnishings make up for that!

  • @shiloh77xx
    @shiloh77xx 7 лет назад +125

    it's nice, but In my opinion I think leaving a little bit of the "Old charm" would've looked better. These older homes have so much character it's worth saving some of it.

    • @doubleyouexwhyamzed
      @doubleyouexwhyamzed 6 лет назад +7

      This was super satisfying for me to watch because I hate older homes with the "old charm." Oh my gosh, especially wooden walls and stuff like that. lol.

    • @odumnobles
      @odumnobles 6 лет назад +7

      It looks like a Home Depot demo now. Why not buy a newer house or build one if you don't really like older homes? Such a shame.

    • @doubleyouexwhyamzed
      @doubleyouexwhyamzed 6 лет назад +3

      Very valid point but not everyone can afford to buy a newer house or just build one from scratch. I don't know, I guess everyone has different tastes. I'm all about how I feel in certain spaces, I can't help it, and when I see wood everywhere, stairs that creek, dark furniture, lots of browns, dark greens, etc and old school windows and stuff it makes me feel depressed and bad. lol. Like when you're in one of those old elevators, ugh, horrible. But there are ways to use browns and stuff and really make a beautiful modern room but yeah, it's just that really old style I hate.

    • @odumnobles
      @odumnobles 6 лет назад +2

      Lysol Disinfectant Wipes In places where older, intact homes survive, newer homes are much cheaper. I suspect that is due to the rarity of unaltered structures.

    Beautifully done so clean and beautiful a lovely place to move into. Just one little thing the kitchen cabinets could have retained panelled cabinet doors I think. Painted white to match or even in melamine adds a little classic tradition to the renovation give it that little lift unique classic class.?

    Well, obviously you can't please everyone but I think the transformation is stunning! The floor plan and square footage of livable year round space was increased dramatically by making the covered enclosed patio part of the kitchen/dining. It's beautiful and elegant. The landscaping still needs tweaking but new homeowners can do that. Well done you!

  • @mugwump242
    @mugwump242 6 лет назад +5

    Overall, I like this renovation. However, I agree with the other comments here lamenting the apparent loss of leaded and stained glass windows/doors. I'm glad some were kept in place but it's a shame they all weren't incorporated into the new design. For instance, the leaded glass double doors seen at 1:21 could have been repurposed in lieu of the obviously new french doors appearing at 2:03. Also, painting exterior brick is usually a bad idea. Bricks absorb moisture like sponges (from the air as well as precipitation) and, once painted, they can become a maintenance hassle forevermore. Say hello to peeling paint every few years. Additionally, I can't help but hope the folks who buy this house will ditch the generic "spec" chandeliers throughout in favor of fixtures that are a nod to the domicile's original era. I think this one thing would do much to bring the feelings of the old and new more into balance, highlighting the place's one-of-a-kind character.

    You can tell whenever this house was originally built it was state of the art. It looks like it fell into some despair probably as the original owners got older. I just stumbled across your channel and l’m delighted. You did a wonderful job and brought this house back to life. I loved everything except *0:50, the brick & half picket fence wall looks as if you just had a “slip-cover” put over it. It’s just not in keeping with the rest of the house. Otherwise... BRAVO 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

  • @rosalienewhouse6116
    @rosalienewhouse6116 5 лет назад +2

    I'm sorry did you say renovation or character assassination....? So it's had an American style reno, its been made comfortable and a nice finish but I can't help thinking that you bought the wrong house for the look you prefer. It might have been better to have left this house for someone else who liked this style more and would have renovated it more in keeping with that. Not really a criticism, more an observation because its still a nice house, if a bit bander now.

All in all, a magnificent renovation. Good luck to the new owners in their beautiful home.

    I didn't see that many bedrooms to justify the amount of open-space downstairs. Those dinning rooms and living rooms have enough space for ten people to move around... or more. Maybe if they kept some walls for a library or office, even a small fitness room or game room, a nursery... and definitely kept some of the old characteristics of the house, it needed updating but the old time charm vibe was certainly lost...

      @CosyboxLiving  7 лет назад +4

      Hello Ana, thank you for watching! We don't put all the rooms on the video, people would get bored :-) This is actually pretty big house, 5 bedroom house with 2 living areas and one playroom/ fitness room. The open plan you can see on the video is just kitchen and dining area. We understand we cannot please everybody with a style but I can guarantee you that it still has a beautiful charm with an original character. :-)
