Once in a while I go to the first video you posted and just binge watch the whole channel for the day while I clean and redecorate the house. You guys are my motivation!
murraysdreams "Brick features" were never meant to be exposed. For example they removed the original horse hair plaster that was used to hide the chimney. I'm not a purist so it doesn't bother me. But you often see rowhouses with entire brick fire walls exposed, or ceilings removed to expose the floor joists above, when they were never meant to be. That's going too far for me. These guys did a great job. Those floors are to die for!
murraysdreams brick was meant to be covered- people started doing this in the 80s for decor. I think it caught on as an easier was to remodel- after damaged was was removed u didn't have to cover it will drywall, baseboards, etc
I mentioned this exact point to my grandparents, and they told me the reason it's all covered is because people put in carpets and drywall and all that other stuff over it because it was seen as luxury and nice to have all that stuff so they covered it up. Now it's popular again to have brick and hardwood floors and everything so people that buy these older homes can sometimes get lucky to have the stuff just covered up.
I blame the 60s and 70s when carpet really started to come onto the scene in interior design. We know now that hardwood and other ceramic floors are likely more hyperallerginic. It's what I have cause it's easier to maintain than carpet.
@@WabiSabE Okay, so I'm a sensitive and there are definitely at LEAST two spirits in your house. They're not bad though, so don't worry. (They are very religious though)
Hubby and I are 50 and I have been together 28 years as a couple. I look back fondly on all of our restoration projects do it while you're young guys and enjoy! Thanks for the video
my wife and I are doing this right now is our 1806 Stone house restoration.. we're documenting everything on TH-cam. it's amazing to have this type of information at our fingertips! thanks for the video!
I love that you left the back bead board stained and painted the rest of the built in. Love the exposed brick and the hard work done on the floors, also the color of the floors. Super nice!
I winced when I saw horsehair plaster and said "What brave people" lol. I have been remodeling houses for years and I have to say you both did an amazing job ! Can't wait to see the rest of your videos. Good to see you both get along so well........renovations can be hard on a relationship if you don't have the right mate ;)
Got pretty worried when I saw you paint the cabinets. I've seen others do it and it turns out poorly almost every time. Your project seemed to make it work. The wood back splash looks incredible and pulls the room together when reflecting upon the original wood floor.
Nigel Hanson My thoughts exactly. I nearly fainted when I saw them start to paint that beautiful wood. It turned out beautifully, though I most likely would have left it natural. Just me ..others would disagree.
Wow! Great job of renovation by the two of you! You certainly aren't afraid of getting your "hands dirty", such true grit in the face of tacky previous interior design. You both have great taste and you have turned a "pig's ear" into a beautiful Gucci purse here! Bravo!
I’ve got a hole in my pocket. Ok so I rewatched that part about a dozen times. You guys are doing great work. I love the brick reveal. The floors are gorgeous. Beyond beautiful.
Oh, this takes me back to the 70's when my husband and I remodeled our old farmhouse which had been relocated into our small town. It had old plaster lath walls in some rooms. Started in October, ended I'm March. You guys did a great job. We updated a couple times since.
Looks great! We did the same thing when we bought our 100-year-old house, also here on the NS south shore. Took a lot of fixing up but had good features. Built-in hutches and cabinetry - which we painted white. Ugly shag carpet was removed to reveal the original oak hardwood flooring! We almost cried. They'll need a good sanding/refinishing soon, but they're beautiful. The carpet protected them all these years.
Great job!!! I don't often watch an entire video all the way through without skipping some, however, I watched every second and I'm subscribing waiting to see more!
Thanks Zane. You have some great work yourself! I particularity like your picture frame lantern idea. I may try to use that concept and make a light shade.
I love the brick accent and the old floor boards. The boards are so much better then the ugly carpet before and give the whole room a awesome character. Great job!
Wow! I’m crying! We just bought our first home and I’ve been so overwhelmed. We know absolutely NOTHING about home renovations. I’d never even really painted before! Thank you for uploading this! We have those exact same cabinets and hardwood floors (that are covered in pet urine). I didn’t know we could rent a sander! Thank you thank you thank you! 🥺❤️
Did anyone find it super satisfying?? Like not just the sounds, but the clean brick, the sanding, the painting, the Everything was amazing!! You got a sub. I’m only 15 and when I buy my first house I wanna get a fixer upper (not a huge one lol) and have a good time with it. ♥️♥️♥️
Hey there Lucy, Thanks so much for all the love on the videos. Its really great to hear you are only 15 and have great aspirations. If you have any questions we would love to chat. :)
That built-in looks incredible! Great job on the floor and chimney exposure. I'm really enjoying watching your work. A house I would totaly love to have. I really like how you both are working together. You make a great team. I was married for 28 years so I know it wasn't all sunshine and cupcakes. That said your finished work is the proof that you work well together. You are a joy to watch! Thank you for your videos! :)
I’ve done this exact renovation to our 1880’s farmhouse. It was such a painful process; so great job you two!!! Keep it up! If you get tired of the dirt between the floor boards, I found caulking works great. It is able to move with the boards unlike other products. Ultimately I think we sanded our floors too much and overtime the boards have broken so we will be redoing them AGAIN with all new everything next go around.
Very nice job. As an owner of an 1877 Ohio farmhouse, I know your pain. When you painted the built-in's, I said to myself, "This will make some folks scream."
Thanks. The built in were put in around the mid 80s, they're not that original to the home nor would it fit into the aesthetic we were going for. Its also plywood cabinetry so I didn't feel too bad.
The best part about this reno was seeing your kitty...I think you need to make a Super Duper Kitty Tree, not a simple one like you can buy on Amazon but something totally custom and very very tall with hidey holes and a hammock
"I say dear, did you see that the sears and roebuck is having a sale on the most awful carpet ever produced in the history of man kind?" "Oh honey you're right, I'm tired of our beautiful wood floors we must install this new petroleum garbage immediately!" :Boomers.
This boomer lived in a house with those beautiful wood floors that leaked air like a screen, needed constant cleaning and maintenance. Thus carpet or ugly linoleum. Not our fault choices were limited.
@@moondog573 not my generation. Exactly what would you have done with the hideous choices provided by manufacturers? As a child I slept in a house with those floors so this is experience speaking.
Any transformation can be done with tons of money right. I like that this shows what can be done with mostly elbow grease and patience and very little money. I love that you kept what was there but made it brighter and better. Love every part of what was done--thebrick reveal, the wall unit (very nice choice there) and the floor looks awesome. Great job!
buddy you got a keeper,i don't mean the house your gf,what worker,nice to see you uncovered the brick chimney it adds to the overall good look of the finished project.
This is cool! Glad I found you! We are doing the same thing - renovating a 230 year old farmhouse! Lots of work, discoveries and fun! I love how she's singing "there's a hole in the bucket dear Liza" my husband sings that all the time. LOL
Great job, the reno looks amazing and I dig the hell out of the sense of humor that you use in your editing. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more.
The little hole by the chimney was a heat vent that would have been right above the fire place in the past. If you wanted more heat up stairs you would open the vent.
We just bought a farm house that was built in 1910. Such a gorgeous home and the precious owners obviously really loved their home because it is in gorgeous condition! The WHOLE kitchen is all wood everything and I really want to eventually paint it white just like you did with your built in cabinets but I’m not so sure my husband is going to go for it... Might have to do it one day without telling him 🙈
You guys did a great job! Looks absolutely amazing! Live how it's lightened up with white paint, darker floors, and exposing that brick was another excellent choice! Makes me want your guy's house just for this room alone. Lol!
Once in a while I go to the first video you posted and just binge watch the whole channel for the day while I clean and redecorate the house. You guys are my motivation!
I do the same thing :)
I do too. They are the reason I fell in love with reno vids
@@pongvang316same here. Rewatching this series really takes me back and it always inspires me
Having the rewatch all the episodes until the new one comes out but I don’t mind!
Kitty did like 95% of the job.
Well someone needed to film it too!
Shocking that beautiful old houses like these always seem to have brick features and hardwood floors covered.

This looks great! More like a $300 project if you already own $800 worth of tools, but that hutch thing turned out gorgeous!

Good job, you've disturbed the ghosts
If you see the basement.. this is very possible!
Wabi Sab - E interested in seeing 😊
i doubt it as originally it would have just been the floor boards anyway. All they really changed was that plaster

@@ccpperrett7522 Me too!! I cringed when I saw them painting it. The wood was so gorgeous!! smh.
So much better! I was a little sad to see the back wall cabinets get painted, but leaving that middle bit was perfect. Much more stylish now.
The poor cat was so confused😂😂
@Himself Lee there's 2 cats. Lol.

Stephen Bullard agree with your comment, beautiful job! jsyk, she was singing the song "theres a hole in my bucket, dear elijah", not pocket
I thought she said pocket too 😂 I immediately thought of Ringo Starr saying “I’ve got a hole in my pocket”

What a beautiful transformation! Hard to believe anyone thought it was a good idea to cover that brick and hardwood up!
Amazing job, guys! It's always awesome to see what a little elbow grease can do for a home.
Love the exposed brick of the chimney. Love the white painting on the built in. Floor looks amazing!
Thank you for not demolishing that beautiful built in
Props on the editing and showing us teensy small couple annoyances as opposed to many why shy away from this!
This is amazing. You made it turn from night into day. haha. The exposed brick is a great touch. High fives!
Nice, I like the way you sped up the process and gave us a catchy tune to listen to, much less pain to watch! Thanks
Gorgeous.. I loved it all... the floors are the perfect color.. and I love the white painted cupboard!!!! Very well done!!!
Wow. That was a lot of dirt, work and mess but how beautiful it turned out. The floors are amazing.
Wonderful job guys! Thank you for the video I really enjoyed watching you bring new life to that space! The design is beautiful!
Coming back here after the nursery video makes me feel nostalgic and overflowing with joy !!
You guys did a great job 👍🏻
I love how everything turned out .great job guys
Uau! Awesome job! It is marvelous what people who embrace hard work do, isn't it?! Lots of fun to you guys!
Every time y’all are about to come out with a new video, I rewatch the entire series. Idk why. It just helps me refresh
Loving this!! Pulling out the carpet made such a difference! 😍
Wish my carpet was history but I'd have to rip it out myself. I love stained & polished hardwood floors.
Wow some beautiful and I love how you refinished the natural features of the room. Nice balance! Thanks for sharing.

You got the best partner in the world!!!!!! AMAZING work!!!! Beautiful new home!!! GREAT JOB!!!!
I really appreciate the enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
1806 sent me. That floor looks great. Will probably binge watch all your videos.

I yelled oh please dont paint them white. I restored furniture for a living i hated too see natural wood covered up. But it works for them.
They clearly weren’t original to the house.
Yep. (Open mouth silent scream!) Im ok. Im ok.
Wabi Sab - Thank you for clarifying. It does look very nice. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.
I love that you focused on taking away things to expose the original charm instead of adding a bunch of stuff. It looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
“Well, fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry.”
WoW! I love that you brought the red brick out of hiding!
I cracked up when his was in his shorty shorts, brave man...😂
I personally love the white built in with the dark wood top. I think it pops. Its exactly as you said "giving them a new life".
Well done! Nice video and nice work on the room. I'll subscribe and keep watching your progress. Keep it up!
Oh my gosh! What a marvelous transformation! Such a beautiful place!
The best part about this reno was seeing your kitty...I think you need to make a Super Duper Kitty Tree, not a simple one like you can buy on Amazon but something totally custom and very very tall with hidey holes and a hammock
I think l could fill up all those cupboards, and then some!!! Wow what a nice place.
I like how hes doing the makeover in his underwear one day than in his jammies the next! This dude don't care at all he's like let's do this! LOL!
Nice legs & bum too.
Glad you brought back the original features it looks great 👍 good job
just marry her for gods sake
Seriously
My father in law always said: if a woman has clean, nice hair and can prepare delicious sauces, you can marry her. 😁😁😁
Digby Dooright what’s wrong with that
James Siener maybe she doesn’t want to get married to him.

We are renovating our 100 year old farmhouse! We are living in it too just like you guys, which is very hard to do. We love your videos!!

Usually awful carpet is dark green. For some reason unknown to man, you cannot kill dark green carpet.😲😄😻

what is that little square hole for anyway?
The little hole by the chimney was a heat vent that would have been right above the fire place in the past. If you wanted more heat up stairs you would open the vent.
