I’m so excited for y’all! I’m a New Orleans native & owning a house like this is a dream! I hope y’all are enjoying it ⚜️⚜️⚜️
Wow so much history in those walls. Can't wait to see how beautiful it will turn out.
I didn't read all the comments or watch the more recent videos (yet) but that trim looks like picture rail. It allows you to hang art without putting holes in the walls.
Congrats, I absolutely love it! ❤. I'd turn the current second bedroom into the kitchen, and the current kitchen into an ensuite main bedroom. I'd also add a guest bathroom and laundry closet for your washer along the hallway, and the current bedroom 1 will become bedroom 2 . The current living room will remain where it is. I'd also add an outside door in the new kitchen area to access the backyard.😊
What a beautiful home i love old houses i also have one in texas they are so cozy!!! God bless and have fun!!
That house is definitely HAUNTED!
Congratulations, I wish you both well. God bless you both always. ❤❤❤
They say most houses in New Orleans or Louisiana are haunted , please share it if you experience any, you do have a really beautiful house . Love the front door.
Pretty 😍 preserving old homes is essential.
Absolutely livid this house is gorgeous 😭
Thanks formsharing! Love your passion and enthusiasm!
Love the front room , those windows are gorgeous and the front porch is to die for !!
Pocket doors 🚪 are so cool 😎 !!
Amazing 🤩 !! Congratulations
and i love that the modern era is starting to include the pocket doors more. Most of the newer homes I have shown to clients include the pocket or sliding doors if not pocketed.
The vestibule is amazing. So pretty. In excited to see the rest
Beautiful home!! Enjoy!!! Congratulations such a beautiful home!!🎉🎉🎉
OMG. I'm so excited for you! If it were me, and it was in the budget, I'd switch the places of the first bedroom/office and the bathroom. Cut that room in half and make a walk in closet for the main bedroom, (hallway side could be the bathroom). BIG DREAMS! Good luck y'all! I'm excited for you both!
This looks so exciting! I’d love to see a video where you show your inspos and hopes and dreams for your new home 🥰☺️
This was great! Cant wait to see the end results when you guys are done!
First, congratulations on your guys new home. And, I just started watching and I'm stoked to see the end result 🙌.
Beautiful!! Saw you on tiktok and I’m so excited to see what you do with your new home, congratulations: :)))
This house has so much potential. So curious as to what the original floor plan was like.
It very likely is still in its original floorplan. Most of the 1890s era homes were built before the levies and so they were raised above the flood risk. Many modern era folks turned those into additional living space. If you would like to learn more, just let me know.
so exciting to have an antique home to renovate. OMG keep us posted this looks so fun! thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Congrats on your new home. Thanks for sharing. It has so much charter. Its going to be fun to fix up
Did you have a structural engineer look at it before you bought it? Need to check the roof and foundation first thing. Also your side yard looks like it has concrete for a driveway to park your cars in the back. I would put a closet in the bathroom to hide the install of a washer and dryer in there. Possibly where they took down that wood organizer. Congratulations on your fist home. Very exciting to see what you do to it.
Kudos to those who purchase older homes especially over 100 years old I could never, too many unknowns for me including the many spirits left behind 😂
Beautiful old home congratulations. I have a suggestion and this is coming from a place of knowledge been there done that .Hire a contractor to do a walk through with you to discuss your dreams and plans .Some things are not doable or suggestible bc of structure and logistics.Example I heard you saying you wanted a pocket door in bathroom however you have a switch plate with 3 lights on the wall unless you plan on rerouting the electricity $$$ a pocket door can't maybe pass the wiring that could be back there .A contractor can tell you what's costly what's ok and what is going to create other huge issues .I restored an 1852 home and I have regrets that's one .
Thank you!! Also, great eye! We’re currently working on the bathroom and that’s the first thing we realized. Things always turn out different than you expect with old homes, but I’m realizing it’s a good challenge. I’m always open to advice (esp from other ppl who’ve renovated old homes!)
Hi from Australia. You just came up in my feed and I am glad to. Love your home. That front porch and front room r gorgeous. I have subscribed and will go and watch the rest of your videos
Vintage wardrobe cabinets would be useful, I love the black floors even in the kitchen
Omg this is so cool, very happy for you. I am so jealous . The house is awesome 🙏🏻💗👍
❤❤❤ I love your home!!! My the force be with you guys!
Hello young homeowners, entrepreneurs, creators,stars💛, I’m Rena aka a New Orleans local (that makes content but that’s not why im here🤣). It’s nice to Emeet you Soysocks and Tyler 👋🏽. Recently I’ve been intrigued in the City’s history as it comes up in my daily life. Example: how the ancestors valued family and connectivity enough to access outside from the bathroom, in a spiritual essence that’s deep.
If you didn't already find this out, the metal around the doorknob is called an escutcheon plate, I think.
I bet at one time the vestibule was use as a summer sleeping porch.
She likes the word " actually "
LOL
If you don’t mind me asking how much did you purchased the home for?
I’d be curious to know as well
🎉Congratulations on getting the keys! I would love to see some close up shots of the plaster arch in the hallway. It looks very similar to the plaster arch in my upstairs hallway of my 1885 house. I am wondering if the same plaster molds might have been used.
I love this beautiful home.
Check out Empire strikes Back Hes restoring an old house and is a wealth of information.
Looking forward to see what you do here.
Be careful with lead paint!! Congratulations! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Fabulous house! May I suggest that you consider building out the kitchen for more room for a family room.
The doors between the bathrooms and door in bathroom leading to back porch is for air to flow through the house.
Gorgeous home
So so so beautiful, I wish it was mine.
❤ Beautiful
What a beautiful house! What neighborhood is it in? I love New Orleans and would consider moving there.
Id take all that concrete up and make a nice yard.. id also enclose that little porch and make a laundry roo
Oh yeah, we definitely want to remove the concrete and we also have plans to enclose the porch!
There is so much you can do to the backyard to make it into an oasis.
That house looks spooky 👀
I’m about to purchase a home that was built in 1890. Anything I should know?
How did u guys afford the house! It's incredible
It's not as hard as you may think. Let me know if you would like to learn more.
Wow really great find especially if that yard. Reach out if you want a little help I'm a maker local to new orleans
Beautiful home! You should go watch XO Macenna on TH-cam, she is renovating a one hundred year old house too while trying to keep true to the character of the house. I think her ideas and DIY projects could help you get ideas of your own 😊💕
Yes, I love XOMacenna! I’ve been watching her make over her home over the past year and it’s been very inspiring! I’ve definitely been taking notes!!
@@lenathesock I saw your new video today, I could tell you guys have some skills 😂💕. I'm a fan can't wait to see what's next!
How much was house
Don't tile everything. Homes didn't have closets in those times. Don't put in closets
Wardrobes we're used. Black floors were done to protect the wood because it's heavy paint.
❤❤❤
All the doors were for airflow because of the heat. No a/c back then🇨🇦
There’s actually never been HVAC in the home (even now lol). The first thing we did was make all the windows/transoms operational. Thank you for watching!
Congratulations😢
Wonder if it's haunted.. ghosts are 100% real.. and I wouldn't be surprised if you guys end up finding more in that house than you bargained for. If so... please let us know.
yikes! Y'all only had a month to make a bathroom and a kitchen?! I'd die.
Are you flipping the house or are you going to live in it?
We plan on living here!
Didn't you have electricity the day you took possession?
We did have electricity when we got the keys, but we were under contract for three months. Thanks for watching!!
