Can't wait to see the transformation. Your little girl is a sweetie! 🥰
Thank you so much!! It's so shocking to see how much she's grown since we filmed this too!
You two are adorable/hysterical! My favorite house tour ever. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
thank you so much-- that's so kind! It might take us 30 years to finish at this rate, but more updates are coming soon!
So much fun! Thank you for giving us a peek!
YAY! I'm finally in the old house club!
So excited for you both!!!
Peggy! Thank you so much! We're still in shock that we get to call this home
You two are so cute! I love that you want to keep the house as true to its history as possible! I don't see enough of that today. I owned a 4 square in IA, back in the early 80's and I do miss it sometimes. I have owned several other older homes, including one built in 1783 in VT. The history is very important to me.
I'm so happy to have another old house lover here! Despite their quirks, there's just something about the charm and life in an old house that can't be bead! You're places sound amazing. I'm wondering if you might have any go-to resources for sourcing for an old home? We're going to try to find the old doors, handles, etc and it's been a journey!
@@TheCraftedLife When we were restoring these houses we used to use a company out of MA called Renovators Supply. I don't even know if they are still in business, but if they are you'd find a lot of what you are looking for. It's funny that you mentioned the "quirks". The 1783 house in VT had a kitchen addition built on in the mid 1800's and our first winter in that house we came down in the morning after a snow storm and had about a foot of snow INSIDE along about 7 foot of the wall, at the north facing exterior door. We knew the wall and floor had separated, we just hadn't realized how much. LOL
@@acgeach355 I'm so sorry I missed this comment!! Thanks for sharing about the shop and OMG THE SNOW!!! The previous owners must've known right? I love old house stories so much-- thank you for sharing!
@@TheCraftedLife We never found out if they knew. I wasn't concerned because it would not have deterred me from buying it. It might have changed what we would have done before winter though. LOL
“Not enough” 😆
We'll try to get to at least 3 in the next one 😂
Put a little bar in that alcove in the dining room.
I'm debating between that and built in seating!! Still haven't decided what to do 😆
Love the house Congratulations 👏🎉
thank you so much!!
This is so fun, friend! Maybe a bar cart in the little dining room nook!
thank you so much!! A bar cart is a great idea! I'm also considering a tree. Is that too wild?!
That was my first thought too, bar nook!
@@deneaneniebergall4878 perfect for entertaining, which we hope to do a lot of!
How about a reading nook in the corner of the living room. Looks really nice with a lot of light. Can’t wait to see what colorful touches you add. Your daughter is so adorable. Just wondering why the sellers didn’t have to fix certain things, like the railing on the stairs, etc?
Thank you so much!! I love the idea of built in seating there too!
And this is a great question. I think for a few reasons: first the market was so wild when we were shopping. A lot of people were skipping inspections if you can believe that. We were able to get money off of our closing costs for other things found in the inspection report, but for the stairs, it was an "obvious" flaw when we put our bid in that we couldn't really negotiate it.

ha! thank you for watching that far!
