Consumerism, consumption, and cheap has been the new sheriff in town (for decades now). I'll do my best to get my friends to jump on the "slow down" train. But I think the fact that only around 50% of people returned to office post work-from- home life gives me hope. The 9-5 rat race is OUT. Enjoying life, family, friends, and a healthy work life balance is IN. Thank GOD. Money isn't everything. I think my generation is fully happy to embrace a different way of living. We're getting tired of the work, work, work for the big man, living a life of anxiety, and more or less always being on call due to cell phones and new technology way of living. It has been shoved down our throats and utterly unnecessarily so. I mean, for what? To pay off our student loan debt that we'll have years to come? Yeah, over that lie. Whoops went on a rant. Sorry about that. Anyway, the Winchester mansion has the corner dust catchers, too.! So cool!
I guess you could say that it's likely a combination of it having lighter stain than most other turn of the 20th century and probably the original owner lived there until death.
That's how we got our 1840's Italianete with an 1880's Victorian porch. We bought it 16 years ago because it needed lots of work at a great price of $99,700. We renovated the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room downstairs before we moved in. Then 10 years ago we renovated the upstairs bathroom. Now we're doing foundation, new duct work, and restoring the original porch. There is lots more to do but we're doing it as we have the cash to. Hopefully in a year we'll be able to replace the 2nd furnace, hot water heater, and reglaze the original windows.
My hubby and I have been working on our 1916 farmhouse since we bought her in 1993. We also have been doing it as we have had the money and the time. Ours needed so much work. It scared everyone from buying it. Even our realtor! He tried to talk us out of buying it. But I love our home way out in the country. And I know the house picked us. She knew we would make her beautiful. I don't think she has ever looked as good as she does now. Not even when she was first built. As she was a working farmhouse way out in the country. No roads in to our valley till the mid 1950's. No electricity or plumbing till then either.
A tip that will help you save money..... Buy your ac equipment online and save thousands. You can always find an HVAC tech that willing to install it as a side job. I do this for my rentals and I have saved about $40,000 over 4 Year's
@@johngatsby1473 thanks, we do get a great deal on the hvac stuff because that's what my uncle does. Also my dad is a jack of all trades and is helping us with a lot of the repairs we're doing. So we're just paying for cost of materials.
My fiancé and I recently purchased a Victorian home (1891) in the little village of New Hamburg in Ontario, Canada. It is probably ~90% original (has new windows and some other upgrades), and our stove is even a replica of an old wood burning stove (with a matching fridge). It's quirky (e.g., dipping floors and uneven walls), but it's beautiful :D. I will make a video one day and post it :). I love watching these videos!
You had me at the stairs ! No more needed. What beautiful wood. You are right that’s the selling point . Well darn, just checked, it’s under contract and sold. That was a beauty.
What a beautiful house and how lucky that so many original features are still there. Gorgeous woodwork. I hope someone buys it and gives it the love it needs to make it another 100 years. Thanks so much for another wonderful tour.
In a world where McMansions rule, this home just makes me weep. How gorgeous! Thank you so much for all your videos. Lord, why wasn't I given the bank account to match my love of these beautiful homes?
I know, she and Kevin are so knowledgeable and talented and ambitious. Without sounding “weird” I think she is beautiful, down to earth and pretty dang smart!
Hey so good to see you in Southern Illinois! That’s in my neck of the woods and my husbands family lived in Granite , as we call it, for a long time! What a nice home to give some TLC too! And so close to St. Louis and all that it provides for a new historic home owner ! Wonderful!
Those dust catchers are great! This house is amazing, the woodwork and the fact the I don’t think I saw one crack in the walls is amazing. This is the perfect first time rehab home!
Lots of drool when you were showing reverse painted wood work!! Gorgeous house. ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing the gorgeous homes and loving them with the respect they truly deserve.
omg, she's beautiful! 🥰i LOVE all that never-been-painted wood! 🤎 the stairs, the mantel...the floors! 😊 i just wish it was on some land in a more rural setting. sigh! 😍thank you for the tour! ❤
What a lovely home! I have been in and out of Granite City all of my adult years, but never seen or could imagine a beauty like this. That area is mainly a steel manufacturing town. Love this house. Thanks for the tour!
Absolutely gorgeous of a home. I can’t believe in a 120 yrs no one ever painted the woodwork. That’s unbelievable in its self. You don’t see many homes even then to have those dust catchers in stairs… so cool. I was born in Illinois but I don’t think I could ever live through a winter there but that beautiful house is tempting. Loved it all. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
Thank you for this tour. I would paste a smile on that stained glass window for the children's playroom. Frowning window makes for years of therapy. ; ) Gorgeous home! Amazing wood & hardware. I would love to see it again after renovations occur.
My goodness this house is freaking stunning!!!!! Gah. I kept gasping at every turn, all the cute nooks and cranny and fixtures. I dream of it. Also, Laine, your shorts are my favorite and I love them. Sorry Kevin is dripping sweat.
Do people who purchase these homes that you show update the homes with videos or invite you back to showcase what they have turned into? I would love to see some of the restorations on these.
Only Glocester so far, and they haven’t made changes. You have to remember that real, non-HGTV renovations take lots of time. It may be years before these projects are complete
@@OurRestorationNation yes people who have average wealth normally try to find something livable, especially if they don't have parents nearby with extra bedrooms.
All of that unpainted wood is a thrill to see! Imagine the hundreds of hours it would take to strip it all if it was painted. >:0 Hopefully, by Laine and Kevin featuring it here, true restoration folk will take over and bring it back to it's original splendor. Those little extra room spaces on the second floor are intriguing. I wonder if there was a nursery, or a maid's room. The possibilities are endless! Viking here too...Great-Grandmother born in Norway and Great-Grandfather's family from Denmark. They met in Wisconsin. I have their original fancy 1883 wedding certificate.
I just realized this is super close to where I Iived as a child, Belleville ,Illinois. It is by St. Louis, MO. (The Mississippi River). Very cool area!
This house is almost the exact same house that my sister used to live in!! We live in Ohio, not Illinois. I was so confused in the beginning, cause I kind of thought it was her house!! Amazing!
I am sure this home was sold fast ! The house is very hood condition . This can be someone's dream home , with a growing family . The price is very good and even you out $ 200,000 in revocations into the house , itnwould be far more once everything cleaned , fixed and remodeled ! This house is an investment !
Someone scoop this up! It can be made quite beautiful and certainly comfortable without a lot of money. That kitchen doesn’t look like it needs a total gut. I wouldn’t change too much!
A beautiful home for that price. Just one spindle on the stairs would have to be custom made. But other than that it's a beauty. Watching you from the Southern Tier of the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York USA

There’s a reason it’s so cheap though. Location, location, location.
Whoever designed and built those dust catchers is a genius! How have we gone so backwards when it comes to craftsmanship and quality?

Craftsmanship (finish carpentry) like this doesn't come cheap and the number of craftsman who can do it at this level continues to dwindle.
All that woodwork left unpainted? Praise the Lord! So many unique and charming details. What a beautiful home!

Once again Laine, please don’t apologize for your appearance. You look great! I just appreciate your knowledge

Oh wow! I LOVE this home. In great shape for it's age. If I were young again, I would be all over this one!
You don't need to be young again - you can still get it and I'll live with you and fix it up, LOL! Free granddaughter? ;)
I almost cried when you showed that unpainted wood entry stair! The doors hardware is so lovely❣Oh, if only I were 25 years younger! I love her💕
Those dust catchers are great! This house is amazing, the woodwork and the fact the I don’t think I saw one crack in the walls is amazing. This is the perfect first time rehab home!

Thanks Laine for your most excellent voice over tour of this lovely house. (And, I assume, thanks Kevin for the camera work)
This is a gorgeous home. A real treasure, and a manageable size to finance restoration. I hope she found the right steward.
This is a gorgeous house!!! The staircase was enough for me to fall in love.
Oh, my, my heart raced seeing this one. Simply stunning. Thank you, team Restoration. :)
Definitely worth the wait! The front porch is wonderful. There’s a lot of room in that house.🌸

I am drooling! Maybe it's time for a move to Illinois!
What a precious lady! I love her 😍
What a wonderful home!! Absolutely beautiful details and truly a diamond in the rough .. I absolutely love it!
Thank you Laine for giving us this lovely historical and architectural tour. I look forward to your our shows and have learned so much! ❤
You are a perfect tour guide! I love your voice and that you know the proper name for everything and your pronounce each name correctly! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I have seen those little dust catchers in restoration catalogues. They are brilliant and I have no idea why they went out of use.
I never knew about them! I could totally use them in my home. Seems very useful 👍
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing her with us! 😊
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
The way I happy squeaked when I saw there was a new video!!! I've already liked it, can't wait to watch. 💖
This is gorgeous. I could move here in a heartbeat.
I just closed on a 1916 home with alot of these same features, except it has been well maintained and updated. These homes are gorgious.
I could swear this home is a Geo Franklin Barber designed home. ❤it!
Thank you for this tour.
I would paste a smile on that stained glass window for the children's playroom. Frowning window makes for years of therapy. ; )
Gorgeous home! Amazing wood & hardware.

Thank you friend!
I want this house with my whole heart!!! What a dream!!
Beautiful home worth every penny. God bless
Love the ideas for the master bedroom and master bath!!

3:57 hello Kevin! ❤
If that house was here in Florida, it would be perfect to me to purchase and rehab. First thing to go is those tacky satellite dishes!
Soooooo much potential!! It seems all the really hard stuff ifls done, like roof, windows, walls and ceilings seems in good shape. Nice find!
This is a beautiful home.
I just realized this is super close to where I Iived as a child, Belleville ,Illinois. It is by St. Louis, MO. (The Mississippi River). Very cool area!
Incredible staircase.
My kind of house. ❤ IT
This beauty just looks solid.... everything across the front looks nice and level. I really does look like most of the work needed is just cosmetic.
I love My Heritage, I am 49% Scandinavian.. 😊
Beautiful home, I loved every inch of it. Thank you for sharing.
Such a pretty house! Last month it was priced at 79,900. This month 107,900. 34% increase. Wow!
There was some confusion over the payoff to the mortgage company, and the price had to be adjusted. It’s still a BARGAIN at 107!
@@OurRestorationNation Makes sense! Thanks. I figured your video drew a bunch of interest and they had a bidding war!!

Beautiful home. wish I was 40 years younger and not in Illinois. Love it!
Stunning woodwork. A gem. Wish it was my home. I'd be a careful preservationist.
Beautiful home I would like it but I only got approved for $85000
Love the mantle
Just stunning! This is exactly what I'm looking for but I need to look up the location.
You have a soothing and beautiful voice!
Fabulous house with an oasis as a backyard.

Beautiful house!
Do the fireplaces work?
Oh I wish. I hope the streets of heaven are lined w these ole homes

Gorgeous Gorgeous home!
😮❤I absolutely love this house I would definitely keep it as original as possible

The price is very good and even you out $ 200,000 in revocations into the house , itnwould be far more once everything cleaned , fixed and remodeled ! This house is an investment !
Pretty sure this is a George Barber pattern book house from Modern Dwellings.
This is a Beautiful Home!!!
Wow beautiful house thank you for sharing
This is a gem for sure!
