In this week's episode, we are exploring a huge abandoned mansion, which belonged to a French seamstress. We were wonder-stricken that everything was left inside. It seemed they had a big business over here, as all the rooms showed evidence of the complete production process. Join us, as we venture our way inside and show you every little detail.

The wall was covered in WREATHS
هل تستطيع لرد عليه بالعربي لماذا هذه لمنازل لجميله فارغه وماثمنها لمن اراد شرائها
Why that house amity?
So depressing. Reminds me, that everything we accumulate, will one day turn to dust. Wish you knew what happened to this woman, and why, this beautiful house was left abandoned to rot down. So sad.
Yes i agree, I wish you guys would research about what happened to the people that lived in the houses you explore
I think you owe that to them after going into their homes and looking through their personal belongings,
I realize alot of people before you guys also went through the home and their personal belongings and they could of researched about the life and final
demise of the lady
seamstress But you fellows are very respectful and take care in people's homes and gently handle their personal belongings
So come on guys make your video's even more exciting do the research find out every little detail about the people that lived in these homes
That would be exceptional
I think it would be fascinating to know more about the owners of the homes, as well. Showing pictures are especially good idea to. So lovely thank you.
@@sophiajoyceferry7150 they got old and died. Their families didn't care or didn't have the money need to care for everything left behind. Same thing that happens to all of these places. It's the same story over and over.
What's depressing is knowing how much time this person spent acquiring and maintaining all of this and then realizing after their death no one cared to take care of it. All just abandoned. Better to care for your health, and relationships than all this garbage.
Just think, all this stuff left and rotting but when she was alive I bet she would have been careful not to damage or break anything.
sad she prob passed away
Your videos are eye opener not to store treasure here on earth but instead store treasure in heaven, for one day we will leave this world with nothing to bring...
Exactly Maria! Materialistic things don’t mather when you pass away, it’s about living a good life and making tons of unforgettable and priceless memories :-)
Maria Manalo my thoughts exactly. Im a crafty person and i can picture my house in the future.
You say right
Amen
I disagree collection is curiosity
Leads to education. Open the mind of children and carry on tradition knowledge and wonder. Just watch these children explore. No disrespect to you each of us have view point from individual mind. That is why your heaven isn't nine but that is ok. We are all one tribe 🐟
As an Interior Designer, it's obvious to me that she was one as well. Notice how the wall papers carry the same print as the window covering fabrics. Also notice the detail in the trim work on the draperies Very fine and very custom. Most of those drawers you opened contained curtain rings and drapery making supplies and ornaments. My guess would be that she and the family owned a home fashions company that specialized in high end and bespoke decor fabrics and wall coverings. I see little evidence that she was a fashion designer or clothing seamstress but like a lot of creative people she had varied creative interests that included doll making and crafting with dried flowers. With additional research I think you'll find that this woman was a prominent fixture in French interior design.
Thats what i thought !
Agree completely!
👏👏👏👏👏 My thoughts exactly❗️
Where are the sewing machines if she was a seamstress there would be machines and probably more than 1. There's no dressmakers forms or irons this says interior design not seamstress.
Back then it was a thing.
This was fascinating for me. I’m a designer. This lady was a designer with many interests BUT her bread n butter was drapery and interior design. Most of the hardware is for drapery and lighting. Look at the wallpaper and drapery in the house... absolute eye candy! Thank you
I thought the same... one of Her window dressings probably cost more than I have ever spent on a car...
Exactly! I recognized the pleat tool for draperies and many curtain rings. Did she work for a famous designer perhaps?
Definitely noticed all the curtain rings. All that fabric probably cost a fortune!
The thing I did not see was a sewing machine.
I def agree, my mother was a seamstress and most of that stuff was for curtains or for shoes.
This really got me in the feels, she was very prolific, but still seemingly forgotten. It made me think where I am really at in my life.
Not only was she a seamstress, but she also made jewelry, and the machine you showed was for making rugs and aphgans. How amazing.
In some places the house looks untouched , you can imagine someone living there peacefully.
Other places look odd and old , abandoned, destroyed. Sadness all around...
The woman ´s little things , the details are touching.
I love your work, another amazing place !
somehow this makes me sad... those were once someones most intimate things and valued home... 😔 she probably died and the ones that were left behind to take care of her estate just didnt care ...
It made me sad too. When I saw that fabric in the cabinet and it was labeled by size.
The flower circles on the wall are called “wreaths”
It had to have been a very lovely home at one time. You young men show so much respect!!
1: “why so many salt and pepper shakers” - for bigger parties, everyone would get their own so there would be no need for passing around or potentially knocking stuff over
2: “sheets” - are actually fabrics she used for her different projects and such, she was clearly very big on interior design and crafting!
3: “doll in chair” - usually just used as a display or showcase item, not really that deep - photographers do it BECAUSE of that to get a nice shot, not to be creepy lol
With formal dining each person often has their own set of salt and pepper shakers.
My mom sewed alot and used sheets for projects. It was cheaper.
At a fancy table setting everyone gets their own salt and pepper shaker. 😻
Nancy Barnhill thats not a “please pass the salt kind of people” they are rich with maids.
My grandma died in 1969 and she had over 400 sets of salt and pepper shakers! She loved them so!!
It’s so intriguing to see how that family just left everything behind and never returned. I saw the tour of the same horse in another channel but your tour is definitely more detailed and i can actually appreciate everything you showed. Great job!
The wood in the upstairs bathroom that is blue, is not burned. That is 'wood rot." When wood stays wet for along time it gets a fungus on it.
I enjoyed this explore. My grandmother was German born in the United States. She was a seamstress. My mother was quite accomplished in sewing and other creative areas. Someone in my family could make lace which came from Germany with my Great Grandmother. I too am good with sewing and other creative things. Seeing the remains of like interests was awesome.
The wallpaper and coordinating curtains alone are a veritable museum of history. I love the wallpaper in the large bathroom as well as the room with the large blue flowers on the wallpaper. Incredible windows on the third floor. Would love to rescue it. The house has a good feeling about it that comes through the TV screen. There was a lot of love and laughter here.
My Mother was a Crafter and a Seamstress. None of my siblings were interested in her belongings. The amount was overwhelming like this place. Luckily we found a Craft club that made dolls and quilts for orphans that we donated it all to. It was sad to give her livelihood away but a relief know it all went to a good cause.
Those gloves hanging in the kitchen look like they might have been used when dyeing cloth or something similar. The trough in the basement could have been used for that too. Such troughs are also used to soak willow for basketmaking.
The reason why there's dolls in chairs is it's a way of how some women display their favorite ones or "special" ones.
My grandmother did that. Your right
Knitting machine, It Appears She Made Custom Drapes, The Hooks To Hang Drapes & Shower Curtains, Ends To Cover Rods End, The Drawers Were Full Of Every Size Color Etc. Great Video. Thank You❤️
She was an artist and craftsman. Besides sewing she did dried florals, wreaths and dolls. It looks like she'd made decorations for wedding tables and parties too.
Yvonne Luna I agree. I don’t think she was a seamstress, unless I missed something. But she was very talented craft person who put on parties. Maybe for charities or friends. I can’t imagine anyone who lived in a house like that, decorated so well, would do it for a living. (I guess House was the wrong term to Use!). I guess it’s possible she fell on hard times and had to work.
What talent she had! Beautiful home, great job showing it. I feel honored being able to visit with you. Thank you. Blessings & stay safe.
It’s so sad, it doesn’t look like the people that lived here were old and died of old age. Those things are called wreaths. Everything just left behind to decay the history of a family left behind, the pictures of their dogs and the fact that it was at one time a lovely place filled with creativity and happiness. It makes you wonder what happened, I always think these people went out for the day or on vacation and they died in a car wreck or a plane crash and there was nobody to come and collect their things, nobody left to care for the house, nobody to say I want this thing for my memories of my family. All those dog pictures really got me to tear up in my eyes, I hope someone came to get the poor creatures and take them home.
😭😢

That is a knitting machine, I had a smaller one like that!!! Love that house, I sew to but I don't have that much stuff!!! I have a lot of cloth, but I make quilts and very few clothes!!!
I was just going to post that - at 32:08. Such an amazing house and even more amazing that it has not been robbed or vandelized.
please tell us more about yourself so I can confirm that you are a cat lady
i'm also a seamstress but I make clothes so my sewing room is different from this abandoned house. The last owner may be a seamstress specialized in curtains and draperies. I could see some hooks and decors for curtains filled most of the drawers. But where is the sewing machine?--This one I wanted to find in this video the most! Great job explorers!
love this mansion, 100% this lady was a professional seamstress on quite a large scale. My Grandfather had an upholstery shop in his home when I was a child so much of the items look familiar!! Think she was pretty wealthy before she started though, mega set-up and mansion. cheers
Very interesting find. I get the feeling there was more than one seamstress in that mansion. I can just imagine how beautiful the mansion was back in the day. Thank you for sharing.
J Wollman If she was successful, she probably had employees.
Seamtress!? Not a single sewing machine in sight. More like a home deco/curtain making business...
How sad to see her belongings alone and rotting. All those memories decaying.
I'm sure someone has already commented that the round dried out flowers on the wall are called 'wreaths' in English. They have a semi religious significance as they represent eternity; eternity of the spirit and/or the soul. Just like you guys we tend to send them to funerals, memorials and we hang them at Christmas time too.
Yet again another wonderful find and explore. Cheers guys from a blistering Buenos Aires.
I. Really happy to see you are wearing masks and gloves, good for you
You send laurel wreaths for funerals? They were usually used for 1st prize in e.g. skating or ski championships and such. I never saw such wreaths for funerals here (I’m in Scandinavia), then there’s usually flower wreaths, and later wreaths made from moss or fir branches are used e.g. for graves at Christmas. 😊
That closet with all the sizes marked on the shelves are bolts of fabrics she used for making clothes and other things
Love this! Wonderful job. Love your respect for her things. Thank you for sharing. Georgia USA
I think she might of made curtains and decor for weddings! I love how you guys try to figure things out right along with us. And because of the respect you 2 have for the homes you go into....your the ONLY explorers I watch! Stay safe.
Unchanging God o
AMAZING find! This is one of my favorites. I love this home. It is so classy. The architecture is charming and decorated w such a feminine touch. All the furniture so tasteful. With the huge amount of inventory she had I'm sure this was more than a hobby.
Can't you find out more history? Who does the home belong to know? Why haven't they fixed it up they could mske a museum of it. So much could be done onstead of letting ot rott away. Really wonderful explore. Thank you so much. So enjoyed it. Love the respect you have for other's belongings.Delaware USA
Surely many told you already how much your gentleness ,respect is admired ...and now I remember just recently watched a few videos of auctions for storage places ;
And that was alarming how cold those people were. when found valuables you never heard mentioning about those who lost ...no one really knows circumstances many bad things can happen to good people not all are bad..
Their focus being on material things only..
Just mentioning this simply when see such precious young men like you what a difference..
The reason for so many salt and pepper shakers is becouse when you have big dinner parties each person or every other person has salt and pepper shaker so that one set isn't being passed all over
Definitely the master restroom “amazing” the tub 🛀 the sink, so beautiful and unique. I bet it was beautiful in the early days. Great find Maureno and Raemon.
In the sewing room that is a knitting machine. For making knitted clothes or blankets. Cardigans, pullovers, shawls etc
I’m from the third world country and i feel so envy about the houses being left abandoned with these things inside. I wish some homeless and less fortunate can live those abandoned houses so they can turn it to home.
WOW 😮 AMAZING house ! Brilliant find ! Obviously a VERY talented well organised creative person !! Thank goodness you guys have the sense to wear masks ! This is the SADDEST 😢 video I have seen ! I just can’t grasp WHY it’s all left to rot ! 🤷♀️🤦SO many precious memories in there ! But THANK YOU 🙏 for sharing it with us viewers ! Greetings from New Zealand 👋

Peace and kindest regards from Switzerland
Hey there Willy! We wish you and your family a wonderful christmas too and have a healthy, happy and blessed 2020. Thank you in advance for the support and we wish you both all the best from the Netherlands :-)
My thoughts: This estate i think was a tailor/textile perhaps designed their own fabrics. May have also designed window coverings, chairs, interior decor. I didn't see that there were any drawings of clothes, but there was perhaps a cobbler who did work in the lower level of the house. Interesting, could investigate the address for the owner. Back in the day, businesses would also be where they lived. Perhaps would even be a place where people ( guests) could spend nights. I think also, could have been rival for Chanel or Ashley,,, who knows(??)!! ( Chanel, She was also german, a nazi sympathizer. ) Doesnt look like many children just dogs. (?)
Looked like there was a teenager/girl in the room with the pink desk...
@@lottatroublemaker6130 so you saw that too...
Coco Chanel was french but seems to have spied for Germany.
@@sabinesears2065 yes, she was French, and a designer whose designs House still carries on, when i found out she had been a german nazi sympathizer, .... well, ...nowadays, its NWO - same thing. The Nazi's were banked by the Catholic Church, a NWO Indoctrination system. There were a lot of women who were killed after the war due to "simply survived" by affiliation with the soldier's, Coco grew into a major textile of fabric and design, Later jewelry. So, i think you missed my point as to what i was referring. Sometimes its not what you know, its who you know.
She must have been renting rooms out perhaps a b&b or for international customers
Could be the case. Who knows... thanks for commenting & watching our video :-)
I can imagine the place coming to life.... so beautiful.
Hopefully someone will bring this beautiful mansion to life
Frame 15:16 Those are wreaths, the closets with the sheets with the measurements indicated on the shelf, are not towels or sheets, but Fabric used for her designs. If she wanted to design a dress with that fabric, the measurements (20x50) gave her an indication, how much fabric she has to work with. That huge bathroom was definitely her main bathroom, so beautiful and classy. A nice warm bath with an awesome view, after a hard day of work. My mother wasn't famous, but she was a seamstress. She had a HUGE box filled with over a thousand different a assortments of unique buttons. Sewing strings, lace, zippers, and yes a lot of fabric. She loved to sew, and many of our dresses where made by her. The little knowledge of sewing and repairing I learned from her, has helped me in life. She could fix anything, even appliances. She said, "if it tears, breaks or worned down, and made by hands, it can be taken a part, fixed and made a new." She was the original "Macgyver," of my time.🕊
I like this place, you can tell whom ever it was, they stayed busy and I'm sure happy being busy as long as life allowed, this is how we all should be. I will be the same, painting, crafting and building and creating, until I can't do it any longer, this is what makes life enjoyable, doing things you love to do and when your time comes to do it no more, you will be satisfied with not wasting precious time. Also, it seems the picture of the three women, was mother and daughters and the one with the two women and the older couple, again, father, mother and their grown daughters. Just my thought. Creative people may leave a lot of clutter, but they are happy while making it.
Beautiful home my favorite room was the blue bathroom. It’s just looked to peaceful and glamorous. Like she would take long baths and relax.
Thank you so much Ilse! Was one of our favourites too, can only imagine her spending her life inside :-)
The house is so beautiful and amazing..
So So sad to see so much of this very creative lady's work just sitting and going to waste. I am a craft person and was nearly in tears to think that all her work is forgotten and just sitting there. Surely there is someone in the family who could donate it or do something with it as t here is a lot of things there that are quite expensive and rare. It would have taken her years to get to that stage of equipment. Oh and by the way that funny looking machine in the last couple of rooms was a knitting machine. Pity I didnt live close as I would love to give it all a home.
Wow what a grand home this must of been. She must of done all the drapes. Thanks for being respectful to these properties.
I’m an artist and a crafts person, I would love to have a work area like that. That machine was a knitting machine.
Yes
I really enjoyed watching this episode. My grandmother was very creative and made lots of things to sell over her lifetime. She could literally make just about anything!! My precious daughter loves to paint, make dresses and is so very creative ! We just bought a farmhouse with a big studio for her to design clothes. Fun episode for those of us who are creative!! ♥️ 🧵 🎨 ✂️👗
Shopping carts could have been used for housekeeping (sheet's towels, cleaning supplies) just guessing..lol
We're those stairs in the business room? If so I would've loved to have seen where they lead. Thank you for taking through the layout. We don't want to see just mold and decay, just the architecture or focus so much on the items that we don't get to feel the layout of the houses. I love that you take us through everything in the house so we can dream too of what it was like!
I'm a seamstress and I'm thinking more just a crafter with those supplies, could be just a hobby. Also may have been using house as a bed and breakfast to make money on the side.
@Girlwho Isntyou Didn't see very many spools of thread and where was sewing machine?. I have three sewing machines one serger machine for professional seams .. for my shop and about 200 spools of thread. Just a observation based on what was available to see.
I think she was a teacher of design, with a BED AND BREAKFAST for students to stay, sheets and blankets in so many rooms, not to forget the pepper and salt shakers. One of the storage rooms looked like a hotel cupboard with all the things you need to replace in the rooms. Great to watch, keep up the good work. regards from Coober Pedy, South Australia, were we live UNDERGROUND

This is why you should travel ‘as light’ as you can in life.
No entiendo Xque tanta casa abandonada en.ese país Xque no regalan a los que nesecita..Xque hay tanta gente que nesecita tener una casa o Xque no vende más barato o en ves de dejar abandonada la verdad no entiendo. Me gustaría saber eso. gracias
Mirian beatríz Morinigo esto és ló que se conoce por propriedad privada si pertenece a alguien herederos . Toma mutcho tiempo sin pagar impostos hasta que el govierno las tome. Murchas vocês simplesmente no hai interes!
Em que país vives vós?
She was so organized, even in the basement, you can tell she was precise, and had it together. I bet she was definitely a smart and successful business woman. its amazing to see this. Great job on showing things, yet your both very respectful to the items you handle, and the persons home. someone made memories there. Enjoy your videos.
yet again, another top video guys, fantastic insight into these peoples lives. such a shame these places are left to decay,but, that is how life is. you are both a credit to what you love and do in these vids. big respect guys. by the way, i think the machine in the main work room is a hand operated knitting machine. are you planning anything here in the uk.
Behind every house there was a life and people like us wondering about them with some sadness..
Lady was very organized. She loved pink and blues and was a crafter - not just a seamstress - she made many different crafts as well as made draperies/curtains. But her organization skills are amazing. That took a lot of time and control.
She was not just a seamstress, she was a creative woman that created all kind of things, by the materials you found in the workroom.
Hey Mariana, we think you are definitely right about that. One thing for sure: she was such a creative human-being :-)
She seems to be party planner /decorator for the aristocrats perhaps
I've got a crush on this house. If I had enough money I would buy it and save it. I love this architecture from the Belle Epoque. Those old doors and windows. Like an enchanted place and an amazing location. Really unique character and too good to rot.
I really enjoyed this video. Such a lovely place, yet looks like a busy place too. Great work guys xx
I have been a costume designer for many years. I recognize many of the things that you showed in the video. Oddly enough it looks very much like my shop. I've collected many things that don't appear to have value to the average person, but they are very handy for the work that I do. It is sad to think that everything she worked so hard to collect, is now just wasted. It's too bad, I think she must have been a very creative person.
Looks like a customized shop for very exclusive clients..looks haunted too
This person was so organized it pleases me to no end. Boxes and boxes to separate stuff for storage. My OCD self is fanning with joy. Thank you for the video!
So sad. 😭
That house was amazing but no one taking care of. While in fact i don't even have my own home. 😔
Great job ... I think you captured the soul of the place. It's so sad that is not taken care of and loved. So beautiful at one time.
Crafters are the best collectors.
What you were saying are sheets with sizes. Looked more likely to be material for sewing.
Wreaths on wall. That was the items hanging on the wall upstairs that you did not know English word for. Loved the pink wall paper and matching curtains. It was funny that the boots in the basement were not moldy.
what a beautiful home ashame it is going to waste. it is a time capsule.much of the furnishings is antique and worth money it should be sold before it collapses.
Very cool guys. She has a loom to make fabric and also all the curtain rings she may have been a designer of many types of textiles. Thank for sharing and be safe.
I love you guys! You’re so adorable and thorough.
So respectful of all the treasures and personal items. Are you guys brothers? Where from?
Ernest Gallo. I think the young explorers are from Belgium. Very respectful, I agree.
Sabine Sears I like the very much Thank you
The machine (long one) you saw in the room with the wigs is a knitting machine. You can still find one nowadays but it's quite rare and expansive. This one seems in a good use ...maybe needs some oil...most of the times those machines were from mid 50 to the early 90. I hope this can help those who wonders 😊
These abandoned mansions make me feel so sad! That’s how life is, we leave everything behind and those are material things but behind all that a lot of history. Maybe they just had to disappear and had to abandoned almost everything.
You always wonder what the real story is Agustina. Unfortunately sometimes we do never get to know it. But we are glad we get the chance to capture it, because this is just the reality of this modern world.
What level me to ponder is when you own a home, you have to pay property tax. If you don't , the State can seize your property. I still can't imagine anyone paying anything for this house. All of this just doesn't add up.
In the sewing room, that big machine used yarn. So perhaps blankets, were made. I didn't see very many things that people who sew clothing used, but more likely this lady made draperies. The drapes in each room were very well made.
It is just a knitting machine. For blanket weaving, a huge weave is used, not a small/narrow knitting machine. 😊
LottaTroublemaker ..... good to know. I was thinking in terms of small delicate throws. To cover the shoulders. It would have been good to know more about the lady. 👍🏽
O DID LOVE THIS PLACE IT MADE ME SO SAD TO SEE THEIR BELONGINS LEFT DECAYING.I TRAVEL WITH MY IMAGINATION TO FIND OUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.💞💓💞
Me too like you I’m wondering what could have happened,
I feel like maybe there was a tragedy in the family and they had to flee. Or maybe the Germans took them?
That is a beautiful sewing room!!!! I have a room like tHat and yes you do need all that stuff!!!😀 Yes that is a knitting machine. I have two of those as well.
From watching, so far, I think this lady, was into a interior decorating business.
Hello boys. Thank you for taking us on an adventure. I really enjoyed it. This is the third adventure I have been on with you. I want to tell you how much I admire you for leaving the house and contents as you found them (even to close cupboard doors and drawers after you peeked inside)' The tour was poignant esp. the slippers by the bed. I believe the thing you saw which resembled a keyboard was actually a knitting machine.
Оу, шикардос...., Восхищаюсь.
To us in the 2019's, we call the color many shades of pink. Actually during her time period it was called a "mauve" shade color which is a pink-purple tone. Very up-scale and considered high fashion.
That's funny cuz I could have sworn that they crayons I got every year for school didn't have many colors of pink nowhere in the box. What it did have though was pink and mauve in the box. My kids crayons also have Mauve and Pink and just those two not pink of many colors.
Had you not said that this place is in Alsace I would have bet that it must be in Switzerland, there are so many Swiss things in this house that you would not normally find in France. I guess the people must have been originally Swiss then. This is what I noticed, I bet there must be even more that I missed:
- 9:04 the yellow paper bag in the foreground is from Pick Pay, a former Swiss discount supermarket.
- 10:20 Forbo is a Swiss company and this in the bottle with the yellow and blue label is wood glue.
- 12:04 Hauert and Gesal are afaik both Swiss companies.
- 13:20 my parents have the exact same soap dispenser and afaik Gide is a trademark that is or was only sold in Switzerland.
- All the light switches and wall outlets are typical Swiss ones, at 22:54 on the left side you can see a lot of spare ones in the cupboard. These are for plugs only used in Switzerland, in France they never had these. Near the center you also see some old style Swiss telephone outlets.
- 22:54 the box with the Rosca coffee logo.
- 28:37 the telephone is most likely a Zellweger model 70 made in Switzerland.
- 28:50 Aseol is a Swiss company.
- 29:47 you see two drawers labelled "Ringli" which is the expression for small rings in Swiss German.
- 29:51 the blue label indicates the product in German, French and Italian, this is only the case with products sold in Switzerland as these are most common three out of our 4 official languages.
- 29:53 EPA was a Swiss discount department store chain that closed in 2005. Jumbo is a hardware store chain that does not only exist in Switzerland but this label is Swiss.
- 30:20 in the center this is the coat of arms of the Swiss canton of Aargau where I am from too.
- 32:55 those are not shoe boxes but envelope boxes and the ones with the blue logo with a "g" are from Goessler, a Swiss envelope manufacturer.
Because of the post with the fire instructions at 16:23 I could imagine that some rooms might have been some kind of B&B once. It is a bit irritating that there is no sewing machine, whether this woman was a professional seamstress or not I would still have expected that if she was so much into crafting she would have had one
Do you think the attic was where the maid, male servant or gardener stayed? It looked more like an appt than the luxury part of the house. In A lot of the mansions the servants stayed in the upper floor.
In the Philippines, there is a place called Las Casas Filipinas where aged mansions from all over the country were transported to, to preserve them. Most parts of the mansions are original, some parts were restored. I hope beautiful houses, along with their architecture and character, are preserved everywhere..
The round objects on the wall are called wreaths.
Yeah, and the wine cooler is an ice bucket. Bottle holder is a wine rack. Black, rotting wood on a ceiling is most likely water damage, not burned, especially since there is no other sign of fire damage. You gotta love the young people of today. I think these types of videos are better with either no sound, or no narration. Do an intro about the story of the home and then no sound and nobody rummaging through the belongings, it's just more respectful. Maybe that's just me. I do appreciate them showing us the homes and taking the risk. To see these homes abandoned just breaks my heart.
@@JanColdwater
Oh my, I was thinking the very same thing --- the ruminations and not so silent judging made me INsane.
These kids are VERY young, and really don't have enough life experiences to be making some of the observations they do.
Generations may have lived in and utilized this place--- they keep talking about the accumulations of things like "how dare she?" Grrrrrr
Sorry guys, I truly appreciate your efforts and your sharing of these amazing time capsules, but bear in mind, these folks lived in different times.
I would say, if you cannot claim something without absolute surety, 'tis better not to say anything.
Thank you very much for your efforts in exploring, but remember, please be careful out there!
It's incredible how small the shopping carts used to be! I remember, in the 70's, going to the local grocers with my mom and the silver carts were so tiny.
Wow! What an estate! Totally beautiful!
What a gorgeous home. Clearly she was a successful fashion designer who ran her business from her home. I think she used the grocery carts to load essentials in then take them to whatever room she was designing in. Love this thank you for sharing!
This one was beautiful. Great fine. Keep up the great work.
❣️ I love to watch your videos. I'm glad you share these amazing places and things with us ❣️😍 MAURENO, I especially love YOUR RESPECTFUL handling of the things and people's memories and lives they belonged, I love your reverant commentaries! You are a very beautiful person. Id love to see your amazing attitude to influence Ramon. He seems too rough and impatient, not as respectful. No delicate moving things around, not closing drawers, etc. I love to see more of Ramon's sense of respect and love for the people of the past and antiques he handles. AGAIN... THANKS FOR SHARING THESE BEAUTIFUL PARTS OF PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THEIR HISTORIES
Heartbreaking.... Idk why but something about this place leaves me feeling sad and unfinished..... Maybe because I'm a fellow crafter... Idk just so sad.
That was material for her sewing along with the other small stuff a lot of sewing machine stuff. Loved the find
AWSOME
this place is amazing guys thanks for the home tour 🤗👍👍
The woman is very crafty. I can tell the house smells very good when she was alive. Those were potpourri. She must have a huge flower garden in the back since she had so many pairs of boots in the basement. Those big tub is where she cleans all the petals for drying. And those pegs are for knitting or weaving. Shes an extra ordinary crafty lady.
You make a great team. Keep up the good work. Love you ideas on how the owner must have lived
another beautiful abandoned mansion and everything been left,wow this is pretty place,furniture,butterfly on lamps,are still made up,the green ribbon?what for?usually it's for aksen,she's like to be perfect and clean,what a lovely home..good job and two thumbs up explomo💙💙(blue paint)
The way of displaying cutlery is not right. It is art , also the glasses, in France fortuned families used to have a shape of glass for each kind of wine, aperitif, digestif...
I believe she was a designer of clothes rather than just a seamstress.
So the room under renovation was likely a sick room where her husband passed as it is common to create a room for medical needs like that. One usually would renovate then. They must have passed close to each other.
Maybe she did out-fitting for weddings? Clothes, flowers, glasses, table-settings, decorations, etc.
I think she must have entertained in her own home. Lot's of women I know have regular luncheons, card parties ( like bridge), etc. The many ash trays, salt and pepper shakers, plate chargers, decorations for individual tables all point to that.
@@marciadodd1412 It certainly looks the sort of place you would want to entertain in. I can imagine all the lamps lit & sparkling glasses on the table, people arriving for the evening & champaigne corks popping.
