Hello Laura You kept me interested and hopeful through the last year coping with cancer. I'm loving watching what you're all up to, as my body isn't what it used to be. I'm really happy and at peace because of channels like yours. God bless and help you and can't wait to see the development of your home and life. My cousin married a Cauldwell. All the best from Yorkshire
Ok, the woodstove is more efficient heating considering the volume of the room. Those high ceilings and all the windows is probably why the original owners chose the stove over a fireplace which is lovely but inefficient. Take a long while to think about that particular change. As for your new kitchen, I love it 100%! It's gonna be fabulous. I'm soooo so happy for you. 🙂❤
I was thinking the same. There are soooo many options for woodstoves that could not only be functional for added warmth but give them the fireplace ambience.
@Blue girl my stove went out on Thanksgiving morning one year that I was hosting. I ended up cooking almost everything in my fireplace. I made a bed of coals and pulled out all of my cast iron. I love a challenge! It was great!
@@sallyramaker1292 With all that open ceiling space, I would say their heating bills will be as high as the ceiling. That's why I think it's a great idea to keep other heating sources in place but it doesn't have to be a wood stove. As I wrote above, there are tons of options now to have the functionality of a wood stove but still get the "pretty" of a fireplace fire.
Truly, a dream property and dream home. I know it will be beyond gorgeous when you are done with it!! MCM is my favorite but really, I realized it a bit to late. I’ll just live a little through you! Best wishes and much joy to you, sweet girl.✨ Ps…I ADORE the light wood and Scandinavian plans you have for much of your of your spaces!! Oh my!! Love love love!!😍
LAURA YOUR HOUSE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN JUST SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WILL LOOK AT THE END YOUR HOME WILL BE JUST GORGEOUS AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🥰❤🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
I'm obsessed with those ceilings and beams, and pray you DON'T change the stain color -- those are such a rich, gorgeous, unique color! One tip I'd suggest (as a senior) -- since it's your forever home, and you're doing such a majpr remodel -- is to widen your doorways. Later in life, when you need a walker or wheelchair (or even just temporarily after surgery), you'll be so glad you can get thru the doorways. They didn't think about access back then. Btw, your old house looked incredible! What a fantastic job you both did!
Ann, totally agree. We now have a wheelchair bound family member and the "normal" width of the doorway is a real problem. Was even thinking of the showers having the step over tile. It would be more convenient to have an area like hospitals do. Like you I'm an older woman and now wish we had thought of all these ideas.
I’d keep the stove but you can get more aesthetically pleasing ones with glass doors, gold handles etc. They’re more efficient than a fireplace, the metal gets hot and gives off heat even hours after the fire has gone out. And if you switched them out you could probably still sell the old one to recoup costs, they retain their value quite well.
My two cents about keeping the woodstove. If your power goes out you can heat with it and cook on it. Sometimes it's good to think beyond decor asthestics.
LOVE SEEING THINGS AND THOSE TO COME. I LOVE THE IDEA OF GLASS FOR THE LOFT...STAINED GLASS WOULD BE GROOVY. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE! I LOVE THE FREEDOM OF MAKING YOUR DREAM HOME-GOOD FOR YOU TWO! GREAT THINGS ARE PRAYED FOR YOU TWO IN THE NEW YEAR!
Beautiful!! I love you're new home and your plans for the future. And I like the idea of you not knowing about the Bomb Shelter until it's completed. What fun!
Wow! Your house is so beautiful congratulations to the both of you. Now all you need is a million subscribers.👍 thank you for taking us on a tour. Love Little Italy it's going to look so great.
Hi Laura, I am so excited for you and Jesse!! You make me think of days gone by when I was young and full of dreams!! I hope everything you dream for your home and life come true !! Xoxo Lori K
This is a beautiful home. After you decorate and remodel, it will be absolutely stunning. Your style is an inspiration. Can’t wait to follow you on this journey to making this house YOUR HOME.
WOW What an amazing house. I am sooo jealous of little Italy. Can't wait to what your alls journey to making your house the home you have dreamed of. The blogs/videos can't come fast enough.
I love love all your ideas! I would so do the same with the windows to look out to that beautiful view outside. Please don’t stop recording the process. I wanna see it all. 😊
Yep… totally seeing the vision (the inspo photos 🤯)! So exciting! 🤗 Can’t wait to see the bomb shelter bar! May I suggest a critter station just outside of one of your big windows on the main floor? Several feeders of different heights and different seeds and things that will draw all kinds of wildlife right to you? I’ve always dreamed of having something like that where I can sit inside on cold days and just observe all the birds and critters! You have the perfect backyard for it! 🐿🦌🦝🦫🦨💕
Laura, you speak so intelligently on everything you do, and you are so creative with your design, decor and architecture. It is going to be a total blast watching your house become a home for your family. Love your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍🏼🌺🙏🏽
Congratulations your house is amazing and know with you talent at decorating it is going to be just stunning!!!! Love Little Italy-- I could spend all day out there girl!!!!! Can’t wait to see your next video on the updates! Thanks for sharing w/ us!!!
Congrats!!! Love the house!!! How excited are you!?!? I love all of the nature you can see from within!!! It’s going to be gorgeous when you’re done. My husband and I lived through a remodel.... fun stuff 🤣 but well worth it! The character in that home is phenomenal!! 🍾🍾🍾 have fun with it!!!
@@vintagemarylouise7319 I could see one maybe repainted matte grey or black, even tho orange would look good. You could also get a fireplace insert, maybe find some old bricks at Renovations or someplace. There is some really cool Swedish wood stoves out too, they are modern and glass.
the location the roof terrace and just the whole ambiance of the your new home sold it for me....oh and the laundry chute lol ....its a beautiful house cant wait to see what you do with it....congratulations and may you have many happy years there
I love it Laura. The house is great .......but the garden is the magic for me 🥰 Also, I know that you have a very big family with lots of kids, so your idea for making the loft room secure for Lorenzo also applies to the them. As a Mum, that popped into my head when I saw the space on your tour. it’s a looooooong way down.
The terrace and your back yard. Wow, Absolutely lovely! I cannot wait to see the windows in the living room and kitchen, they’re going to be everything! I want my next home to have huge windows so I can enjoy the nature at all times, in the near future I think I’ll be ready to live in the country. Great home!
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏 beautiful house and all your plans sound fantastic. I've already your design talents in action and sure it will be magazine worthy. The views are spectacular. I'm so happy for the two of you. Blessings and carry on 👍🥰
What an intriguing home. Must have taken a lot of thought to build. Cannot wait to see what you and your husband do to make it your home. So interesting.
🌓Your home is simply amazing, I can truly see your vision. So happy for y’all. Congratulations again and I’m so excited to see all the changes. You should throw a party to celebrate the end of the renovation. You should contact, Home to home and apartment therapy, after you finish to get your home feature, and I know apartment therapy show apartments but they also show homes as well. Because your homes will definitely be magazine worthy. Much love to you. 🤎🤎
Such a compliment ☺️ That would be a dream to get it in one of those! And a party FOR SURE! We’ve been making sure it have friends and family over now before the remodeling so they can see the transformation 😄
For your breezeway area, you could consider a square table. I love them. They don’t use more floor space then a round table and they offer much better conversation around the table unlike rectangle tables where people on either far ends have trouble seeing each other. That doesn’t happen with a square table. PLUS, I know how you love cooking. A square table offers lots of room for all the different plates in the center AND all the plates are within arms reach for the people sitting around. Just a thought. Love the house. Can’t wait to see how you both turn it into your home.
If you need the heat rather than the esthetics of an open fire, you'd do better to keep the woodburner they are much more effective. Fully understand the desire of an open fire it is beautiful, just know from experience re the effectiveness. What a, beautiful house ❤️
I also agree that a stove is much more efficient. Live with the stove and see how you feel after you have spent some time with it. You could replace the current stove with a stove that has glass doors. You can also open the stove doors for those occasions when you want to see the fire. Love your new home and ideas.
I love the floors downstairs I don’t know why you want to change them unless you’re doing it for a style reason, which of course obviously it’s your choice lol
Wow, your new home is beautiful!!!❤ The backyard, the ceilings the trees, "Iittle Italy" breath taking!! And you have a studio space and a bomb shelter!!! Wow, cannot wait to see it furnished with all of your treasures!! Plus the fact that you are close to family is amazing!!! You will never regret that!! We moved back home 13 years ago to be close to our family and it was definitely the right move for us! So happy for the oth of you!!! Dreams really do come true!!!❤❤❤
The windows outside of little Italy, (on the front of your office to be) are called jalousie windows. The home I grew up in had four of them in the family room, loved them! Thanks for sharing 🙂❤️
Push come to shove, the entertainment area in the lower level could be a bedroom. But, isn't their vision going to be spectacular?! I'm so excited for them (ok and for us lol)!
What a great house! Lots of projects, but your vision is so incredible. Having huge windows to bring in that view is everything! I adore the wood ceilings that are everywhere, and I'm a sucker for wood beams. I love your house. I'm so happy for you and your husband. And so much room for the kitties! They'll love it. Can't wait to see the progress. Thank you for the tour!
Soooo happy for you and Jessie!! I can hear the excitement and happiness in your voice Laura! Your new home is absolutely beautiful can’t wait to see everything that you create!!! Thanks for the awesome video❤️
I really like your idea of repurposing the powder room to put the fridge recessed will definitely helped. In my 1950s home I can't put up wall cabinets so I might use your idea for plate holders, just wait one season through the winter to get a full feel for the house, you might find some features were set up for weather purposes. I removed one wall just to find out later that was the one keeping the drafts away... but your house looks so well built and looked after, congrats. I have the stained glass in your work area and it is super sturdy.
Wow Miss Laura!! What an ambitious reno 😯 It's going to be fabulous when those walls are removed to open up the spaces with the huge windows... and the fireplace! There's nothing more wonderful than a big OPEN fireplace, and you could reconfigure the raw brick perhaps by designing a layer of smooth river rocks over with a gorgeous mantelpiece.(Ala Frank L. Wright? ☺️) Speaking of heating efficiency, I had a great fireplace with a harp-style blower installed... it got too warm sometimes! Not a fan of wood stoves, tho there are many other options you might consider, esp with modern insulation methods to cut the damp ambient cold🌦️ It's a wonderful house, great vibes and sweet, comforting spirits... 🍀🥂🍀
Such a great house with great 'bones'. Can't wait to see the finished changes u are planning. It will be beautiful. You have such skills in visualization and design. You should hire out your services!! Designed and remodeled by Laura Caldwell!! I'm totally impressed with what you've shown us so far. I'm so excited to follow you as u remodel. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Many Blessings!
You might want to rethink sliding glass doors, depending on stability of your foundation. If you have lots of clay, even the tiniest shift causes the doors to drag and seals to gap. Great house. Love the little Italy terrace.
Hi Laura I can’t belive your new home is amazing,beautiful,I know you an Jessie will be very happy ,an who knows you may hear tiny patter of feet new home new baby ,I wish you every happiness sending love an blessings Ann 🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do not often get house envy. I've got it in spades now! What a gorgeous house and property, and I love all your ideas for it. Regarding the vintage wooden bead curtains: if you do not leave them where they are, I think they would look great repurposed as wall art or even wooden wind chimes (wind clickers?) for Little Italy. Round or long table: why not an expandable table that goes from square to oblong? That way you don't limit yourself to 6 or 8 guests, and the table can be out of the way most of the time. Wood stoves: these spots obviously NEED mid-century cone-shaped fireplaces! Whatever you end up doing, I know it will be gorgeous. Can't wait to see it all happen.
You two are AMAZING! So happy for you both and I’m so excited we get to follow your dream home journey that you both are kind enough to share! YOU GUYS ROCK hands down! 👏❤️🙏

And if you switched them out you could probably still sell the old one to recoup costs, they retain their value quite well.
I can’t wait to see what it all looks like when you’re finished. Especially the boho terrace!
Everything you have planned for your new home sounds perfect! The bomb shelter will make the coolest speakeasy, ever!
Do not touch the fireplace. It’s such a classic beauty. You will regret it. Keeps a part of the history on the house. Trust me you will love it 😍
German schmear on the bricks and a mcm metal fireplace! It would brighten it up! A little mcm scandi look!
With a Preway fireplace, they wouldn’t need to touch the brick and it’s quintessential mcm.
@@janetplanet09 thats the kind I was talking about! ;)
Congrats on this lovely house. So much character. The property is gorgeous and peaceful.
Thanks!! ❤️❤️
My two cents about keeping the woodstove. If your power goes out you can heat with it and cook on it. Sometimes it's good to think beyond decor asthestics.
I love the idea of the glass wall idea for the loft, and the protection of your pets is important.

I agree. 70% of the heat is lost up a chimney with an open fire. It doesn't make sense to ditch the burner.
