      It's good to see a dream fulfilled. I grew up with a pine paneled,tongue and groved breaseway in NJ. A pot belly stove could get the walls so hot the pine would sweat. Coal could make the belly glow, but it got too hot.

    Beautiful transformation. So wonderful to pay homage to the original owners. I have to laugh with seeing the Prince Albert can. All I thought was the prank phone calls growing up "Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Let him out". (My mom was a store operator and got those calls all the time) LOL

    Beautifully done! I so enjoyed this. 😊 When you were showing us the photos in the dining room and sharing personal memories of the owners, I was thinking how wonderful it was that YOU got to purchase this house and let its legacy live on. So special!! I’m officially homesick for the Skagit Valley - perhaps we’ll come visit sometime! 😊

    The home turned out wonderful!! Glad you kept the kitchen cabinets and the paneling. We rebuilt our mudroom last summer and found that there wasn't any insulation in the outside walls. Here in northern MI insulation is a very good thing! You guys did a great job on the home. So many times people just remove the history of the home and add modern stuff. Keeping as much of the original home as you could is like paying honor to the first family that lived there. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.

    Now that was impressive. It hasn't been that long since you bought the place. I really like that you honor the history of the place. The picture wall was a great idea. The black grate that you used in the living room was brilliant. You and your husband are a great team.

    🇦🇺 you should take high resolution photos of the wallpaper and go to spoonflower and print the design. You can choose the type of fabric, wall paper, canvas etc. there are other companies that do this as well.

We also found newspaper from the early 1900's, as well as other funny items stuffed in the walls ;). I love how you preserved the story and history of the people who lived there.

    Hi Malissa, I spent some 40 years as a carpenter, a lot of remodeling in Skagit Valley . Your contractor has done what looks to be a great job on the house. Most customers wanted us to do three things . Do the job fast, cheap, and good. Two are possible, but always at the expense of the third. My son is now doing house remodeling and can not keep up with demand. Cost is usually the big problem. Most job remodeling cost equals -New,times 2 plus 25 % . From Lake McMurray, Semper Fi.

    When I saw the wallpaper I said, “wow! she picked a paper that has a perfect look for the age of the house. When you said you found the paper behind the closet I was very surprised that it wasn’t new paper.
    I love the kitchen, I love the wallpaper, I love the original bathroom window. I think you did an amazing job with the updates!

    It looks so warm and welcoming and it's lovely that you've kept family photos and such from it's caretakers over the years. The piece of wallpaper was a wonderful find and in such good condition too!
    These things are always a lot more work than you expect. I've just bought a 250 year old building, converted once 100 years ago and partially again in the 70s. We're doing up the top apartment, at first glance we though it would mainly be decorating and carpets etc, 6 weeks at most.. Well, it's currently ripped right back to the brick walls, all the flooring need redoing, plumbing, heating etc and since we'll only have it in that state once, we're getting the electrics, insulation etc updated too. Hoping to be ready for late spring but that's optimistic!

    We had similar print wallpaper in our first Victorian. It’s an apple blossom pattern and ours was various pinks, greens and cream. I left ours up as well. Grew up in a 3 story house with triple plaster lath and no insulation, but we had coal and wood furnace. Sure wish we had insulated the attic floor as I think it would have saved all of us a lot of firewood work.
    Nice job.

    Your kitchen - from the style of the cabinets to that long sink light fixture - is classic 1960's. Looks like my 1963 ranch. I also recognize the light at 18:00 which you correctly ID as 1920's. This is exactly like my grandparents' rural house which was electrified in the '20's. To save money though, most of their lights in less formal areas were just a hanging light bulb in the center of the room lol.

    Cute house! May I make one tiny suggestion though? Can you pull the rug and sofas away from the walls to form a mire cizy arrangement near tbe fireplace? They look sort of shoved back and one sofa is looking into the side of the ither. That seems unnecessary as it looks like the room is big enough. The rest of the house looks so cizy and friendly. This room seems to lack a little something.
