Hello Laura
You kept me interested and hopeful through the last year coping with cancer.
I'm loving watching what you're all up to, as my body isn't what it used to be. I'm really happy and at peace because of channels like yours.
God bless and help you and can't wait to see the development of your home and life.
My cousin married a Cauldwell.
All the best from Yorkshire
Hi Laura I can’t belive your new home is amazing,beautiful,I know you an Jessie will be very happy ,an who knows you may hear tiny patter of feet new home new baby ,I wish you every happiness sending love an blessings Ann 🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ok, the woodstove is more efficient heating considering the volume of the room. Those high ceilings and all the windows is probably why the original owners chose the stove over a fireplace which is lovely but inefficient. Take a long while to think about that particular change. As for your new kitchen, I love it 100%! It's gonna be fabulous. I'm soooo so happy for you. 🙂❤
I was thinking the same. There are soooo many options for woodstoves that could not only be functional for added warmth but give them the fireplace ambience.
@@debbieomi Their heating bill is going to be huge, her cats will have to learn to stay away from the wood stoves.
@Blue girl my stove went out on Thanksgiving morning one year that I was hosting. I ended up cooking almost everything in my fireplace. I made a bed of coals and pulled out all of my cast iron. I love a challenge! It was great!
@@sallyramaker1292 With all that open ceiling space, I would say their heating bills will be as high as the ceiling. That's why I think it's a great idea to keep other heating sources in place but it doesn't have to be a wood stove. As I wrote above, there are tons of options now to have the functionality of a wood stove but still get the "pretty" of a fireplace fire.
A ceiling fan will also help keep the heat from collecting in the rafters.
Do not touch the fireplace. It’s such a classic beauty. You will regret it. Keeps a part of the history on the house. Trust me you will love it 😍
I’d keep the stove but you can get more aesthetically pleasing ones with glass doors, gold handles etc. They’re more efficient than a fireplace, the metal gets hot and gives off heat even hours after the fire has gone out. And if you switched them out you could probably still sell the old one to recoup costs, they retain their value quite well.
I'm obsessed with those ceilings and beams, and pray you DON'T change the stain color -- those are such a rich, gorgeous, unique color!
One tip I'd suggest (as a senior) -- since it's your forever home, and
you're doing such a majpr remodel -- is to widen your doorways. Later in life, when you need a walker or wheelchair (or even just temporarily after surgery), you'll be so glad you can get thru the doorways. They didn't think about access back then.
Btw, your old house looked incredible! What a fantastic job you both did!
Ann, totally agree. We now have a wheelchair bound family member and the "normal" width of the doorway is a real problem. Was even thinking of the showers having the step over tile. It would be more convenient to have an area like hospitals do. Like you I'm an older woman and now wish we had thought of all these ideas.
@@marieleotta2501 i wish accessibility was the construction standard 😔
German schmear on the bricks and a mcm metal fireplace! It would brighten it up! A little mcm scandi look!
With a Preway fireplace, they wouldn’t need to touch the brick and it’s quintessential mcm.
@@janetplanet09 thats the kind I was talking about! ;)
Come on guys Laura is so excited about her new home so why put thumbs down ,don’t get it
Cool mcm burnt orange 60s free standing porcelain stove
LAURA YOUR HOUSE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN JUST SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WILL LOOK AT THE END YOUR HOME WILL BE JUST GORGEOUS AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🥰❤🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
Truly, a dream property and dream home. I know it will be beyond gorgeous when you are done with it!!
MCM is my favorite but really, I realized it a bit to late. I’ll just live a little through you! Best wishes and much joy to you, sweet girl.✨
Ps…I ADORE the light wood and Scandinavian plans you have for much of your of your spaces!! Oh my!! Love love love!!😍
Keep (but replace) a woodstove on your lower level; you'll be so glad you did when a Pacific winter storm blows through and you lose the power; the smaller room will heat better than the large main floor living room. A mid-century acorn or malm stove would be perfect!
What about one of the metal tear drop fireplaces.
That would be perfect🧡
@@vintagemarylouise7319 I could see one maybe repainted matte grey or black, even tho orange would look good. You could also get a fireplace insert, maybe find some old bricks at Renovations or someplace. There is some really cool Swedish wood stoves out too, they are modern and glass.
I’m trying!! That’s my #1 option but Jesse is pretty opposed to it.. 😏
@@leftcoastrevivals look up Audro Wood Stoves
I can’t wait to see what it all looks like when you’re finished. Especially the boho terrace!
LOVE SEEING THINGS AND THOSE TO COME. I LOVE THE IDEA OF GLASS FOR THE LOFT...STAINED GLASS WOULD BE GROOVY. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE! I LOVE THE FREEDOM OF MAKING YOUR DREAM HOME-GOOD FOR YOU TWO! GREAT THINGS ARE PRAYED FOR YOU TWO IN THE NEW YEAR!
I love the idea of the glass wall idea for the loft, and the protection of your pets is important.
I love it Laura. The house is great .......but the garden is the magic for me 🥰 Also, I know that you have a very big family with lots of kids, so your idea for making the loft room secure for Lorenzo also applies to the them. As a Mum, that popped into my head when I saw the space on your tour. it’s a looooooong way down.
Wow! Your house is so beautiful congratulations to the both of you. Now all you need is a million subscribers.👍 thank you for taking us on a tour. Love Little Italy it's going to look so great.
Hi Laura, I am so excited for you and Jesse!! You make me think of days gone by when I was young and full of dreams!! I hope everything you dream for your home and life come true !! Xoxo Lori K
Congrats on this lovely house. So much character. The property is gorgeous and peaceful.
Thanks!! ❤️❤️
WOW What an amazing house. I am sooo jealous of little Italy. Can't wait to what your alls journey to making your house the home you have dreamed of. The blogs/videos can't come fast enough.
Little Italy!!!!!! And the trees around your home. It’s a definite oasis! Unreal
If you need the heat rather than the esthetics of an open fire, you'd do better to keep the woodburner they are much more effective. Fully understand the desire of an open fire it is beautiful, just know from experience re the effectiveness. What a, beautiful house ❤️
I agree. 70% of the heat is lost up a chimney with an open fire. It doesn't make sense to ditch the burner.
I also agree that a stove is much more efficient. Live with the stove and see how you feel after you have spent some time with it. You could replace the current stove with a stove that has glass doors. You can also open the stove doors for those occasions when you want to see the fire. Love your new home and ideas.
I am not a fan of mid century modern decor. HOWEVER... I absolutely LOVE your channel. You are wonderful and fun to watch and I've learned so much too. I look forward to many more years of enjoying your videos and I wish you and Jesse many, many years of joy in your fantastic new home.
Everything you have planned for your new home sounds perfect! The bomb shelter will make the coolest speakeasy, ever!
How exciting and can’t wait watch the progress and transformation of each space❣️‼️
For your breezeway area, you could consider a square table. I love them. They don’t use more floor space then a round table and they offer much better conversation around the table unlike rectangle tables where people on either far ends have trouble seeing each other. That doesn’t happen with a square table. PLUS, I know how you love cooking. A square table offers lots of room for all the different plates in the center AND all the plates are within arms reach for the people sitting around. Just a thought. Love the house. Can’t wait to see how you both turn it into your home.
Beautiful!! I love you're new home and your plans for the future. And I like the idea of you not knowing about the Bomb Shelter until it's completed. What fun!
Soooo happy for you and Jessie!! I can hear the excitement and happiness in your voice Laura! Your new home is absolutely beautiful can’t wait to see everything that you create!!! Thanks for the awesome video❤️
This is a beautiful home. After you decorate and remodel, it will be absolutely stunning. Your style is an inspiration. Can’t wait to follow you on this journey to making this house YOUR HOME.
Laura, you speak so intelligently on everything you do, and you are so creative with your design, decor and architecture. It is going to be a total blast watching your house become a home for your family. Love your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍🏼🌺🙏🏽
Im so excited for you and Jesse. Everything will fall into place, then you’ll be decorating putting on the final touches.
the location the roof terrace and just the whole ambiance of the your new home sold it for me....oh and the laundry chute lol ....its a beautiful house cant wait to see what you do with it....congratulations and may you have many happy years there
Congratulations your house is amazing and know with you talent at decorating it is going to be just stunning!!!! Love Little Italy-- I could spend all day out there girl!!!!! Can’t wait to see your next video on the updates! Thanks for sharing w/ us!!!
Oh wow! I’m so in love with your future home with that yard,oh wow!
I love the floors downstairs I don’t know why you want to change them unless you’re doing it for a style reason, which of course obviously it’s your choice lol
Congrats!!! Love the house!!! How excited are you!?!? I love all of the nature you can see from within!!! It’s going to be gorgeous when you’re done. My husband and I lived through a remodel.... fun stuff 🤣 but well worth it! The character in that home is phenomenal!! 🍾🍾🍾 have fun with it!!!
The windows outside of little Italy, (on the front of your office to be) are called jalousie windows. The home I grew up in had four of them in the family room, loved them! Thanks for sharing 🙂❤️
Yep… totally seeing the vision (the inspo photos 🤯)! So exciting! 🤗 Can’t wait to see the bomb shelter bar!
May I suggest a critter station just outside of one of your big windows on the main floor? Several feeders of different heights and different seeds and things that will draw all kinds of wildlife right to you? I’ve always dreamed of having something like that where I can sit inside on cold days and just observe all the birds and critters! You have the perfect backyard for it! 🐿🦌🦝🦫🦨💕
Congratulations! I can't wait to watch how you and Jesse are going to make it your home.
I know it’s going to be beautiful So happy for you and yours I am sure your family is so happy to have you closer ❤️😘🙏
🌓Your home is simply amazing, I can truly see your vision. So happy for y’all. Congratulations again and I’m so excited to see all the changes. You should throw a party to celebrate the end of the renovation. You should contact, Home to home and apartment therapy, after you finish to get your home feature, and I know apartment therapy show apartments but they also show homes as well. Because your homes will definitely be magazine worthy. Much love to you. 🤎🤎
Such a compliment ☺️ That would be a dream to get it in one of those! And a party FOR SURE! We’ve been making sure it have friends and family over now before the remodeling so they can see the transformation 😄
What a great house! Lots of projects, but your vision is so incredible. Having huge windows to bring in that view is everything! I adore the wood ceilings that are everywhere, and I'm a sucker for wood beams. I love your house. I'm so happy for you and your husband. And so much room for the kitties! They'll love it. Can't wait to see the progress. Thank you for the tour!
Wow Laura, this home is already stunning. Can't wait to see what you do!
Wow Miss Laura!! What an ambitious reno 😯
It's going to be fabulous when those walls are removed to open up the spaces with the huge windows... and the fireplace!
There's nothing more wonderful than a big OPEN fireplace, and you could reconfigure the raw brick perhaps by designing a layer of smooth river rocks over with a gorgeous mantelpiece.(Ala Frank L. Wright? ☺️)
Speaking of heating efficiency, I had a great fireplace with a harp-style blower installed... it got too warm sometimes!
Not a fan of wood stoves, tho there are many other options you might consider, esp with modern insulation methods to cut the damp ambient cold🌦️
It's a wonderful house, great vibes and sweet, comforting spirits... 🍀🥂🍀
You might want to rethink sliding glass doors, depending on stability of your foundation. If you have lots of clay, even the tiniest shift causes the doors to drag and seals to gap. Great house. Love the little Italy terrace.
I do not often get house envy. I've got it in spades now! What a gorgeous house and property, and I love all your ideas for it.
Regarding the vintage wooden bead curtains: if you do not leave them where they are, I think they would look great repurposed as wall art or even wooden wind chimes (wind clickers?) for Little Italy.
Round or long table: why not an expandable table that goes from square to oblong? That way you don't limit yourself to 6 or 8 guests, and the table can be out of the way most of the time.
Wood stoves: these spots obviously NEED mid-century cone-shaped fireplaces!
Whatever you end up doing, I know it will be gorgeous. Can't wait to see it all happen.
Fabulous! I wish you and your family many wonderful years in this beautiful home😊
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏 beautiful house and all your plans sound fantastic. I've already your design talents in action and sure it will be magazine worthy. The views are spectacular. I'm so happy for the two of you. Blessings and carry on 👍🥰
Laura I thought I'd share a good giggle with you. I'm a long time viewer but I have recently introduced my mother to your channel. I knew she would love your style and she'll comment you have really good tastes at least 2 or 3 times every vid we watch. She's still learning the names of you little family of husband and kitties so when you were talking about how you knew Lorenzo would jump from the loft onto the exposed beams she turned to me and asked "Is that her husband?" I said to her completely deadpan "Yes Mum her husband is going to be jumping on the beams". I then explained no Lorenzo is the Bengal and your husband is Jesse and we had to pause the video for a while as we almost laughed ourselves to tears at the mental image of Jesse jumping on your lovely ceiling beams.
I wouldn't worry too much about Lorenzo falling off the beams, cats can safely jump much higher than you think. My silly boy Caz panicked when we were trying to get him into a carrier to go the the vet and he flew out an upstairs window. I almost had a heart attack but he was absolutely fine.
🤣🤣🤣 This just made my day!! I love it! Thank you for sharing this story and for sharing me with your mom 🥰❤️❤️❤️
We have a wood burning firplace. Its beautiful but takes a ton of wood. You constantly have to feed it. We're retired and have a tree farm so we have a lot of wood at our disposal. There's nothing like a beautiful fire in the fireplace. We have a method of building the perfect fire and its keeps us every warm. I think when you get done with all of your remodeling you are going to have a pricless thing of beauty. I do hope you have double windows, otherwise you are going to be very cold. I had to put visqueen on my windows in one house I lived in. It had wall to wall windows and I live in the south. My electric bill was outrageous. I'm sure you've thought out everything and its all going to be perfect. Enjoy your remodel. I am so very happy for you and your hubby. God bless you both.
Your new home is just wonderful for the two of you, what a gem you found. It is so much fun to follow along in your renovations.
Such a beautiful house! I can't wait to see it evolve into your home. This is so exciting! I'm thrilled for you and your husband. What a fantastic adventure!
The terrace and your back yard. Wow, Absolutely lovely!
I cannot wait to see the windows in the living room and kitchen, they’re going to be everything!
I want my next home to have huge windows so I can enjoy the nature at all times, in the near future I think I’ll be ready to live in the country. Great home!
You two are AMAZING! So happy for you both and I’m so excited we get to follow your dream home journey that you both are kind enough to share! YOU GUYS ROCK hands down! 👏❤️🙏
Vermont castings makes some really beautiful woodstoves that you can see the fire.
My two cents about keeping the woodstove. If your power goes out you can heat with it and cook on it. Sometimes it's good to think beyond decor asthestics.
I’m so excited for you guys! Can’t wait to see all the changes, thanks for bringing us along 🌻🌸🌼✌🏼
So very excited for you. Can’t wait to see all that you do. Congratulations on your beautiful beautiful home.
I love this house and the yard! Everything I like about Portland is embodied here. Portland was a magical place for me in the 60’s. And you are bringing that feeling back to life for me here. I’m getting dejavu!
Awwwwwww. I am so happy for you! It’s got a lot of neat character, but can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Wow, your new home is beautiful!!!❤ The backyard, the ceilings the trees, "Iittle Italy" breath taking!! And you have a studio space and a bomb shelter!!! Wow, cannot wait to see it furnished with all of your treasures!! Plus the fact that you are close to family is amazing!!! You will never regret that!! We moved back home 13 years ago to be close to our family and it was definitely the right move for us! So happy for the oth of you!!! Dreams really do come true!!!❤❤❤
How exciting!!! 😁👏🏽👏🏽
My heart is jumping for joy for you and Jesse! I'm excited about all the beautiful wood, that amazing carpet leading down to the bomb shelter and I love how you've given names to your rooms. You're extremely creative!
Thank you for sharing lovely!
❤️Maddy
The house is amazing, can't wait to see how everything turns out.
I fear that I sound either sophomoric or at the most, stalker-ish, but, Laura, you are so very sweet, upbeat and pleasant. I just love you. I am 30 years older than you, but can absolutely see us as best friends. Your house is amazing. Your plans are, amazing. Your life and all that you present, are amazing.
I'm not a stalker either, but I would love to have her as a friend too.
Thank you both of you!! Not creepy at all 😂 I met a handful of subscribers who came out to the market to see me and I hit it off with everyone. I think we really can make real friends online who we have a lot in common with ☺️❤️ This really is an amazing community here on YT 😄
Cannot wait to see all the changes to your dream home!!!
I’m so happy for you, Laura! Can’t wait to go on this journey with you.
Looking forward to seeing you work your magic in your New Home.
It's HUGE!! It really is only 2 bedrooms, though, isn't it? A perfect home for a perfect couple!!
Push come to shove, the entertainment area in the lower level could be a bedroom. But, isn't their vision going to be spectacular?! I'm so excited for them (ok and for us lol)!
I really like your idea of repurposing the powder room to put the fridge recessed will definitely helped. In my 1950s home I can't put up wall cabinets so I might use your idea for plate holders, just wait one season through the winter to get a full feel for the house, you might find some features were set up for weather purposes. I removed one wall just to find out later that was the one keeping the drafts away... but your house looks so well built and looked after, congrats. I have the stained glass in your work area and it is super sturdy.
Seriously a DREAM home. Can't wait to see the progress!
Such amazing architecture and cute little surprises everywhere!!!
Thank you for sharing your new house and future plans. It’s SO exciting! I’m so happy for you and Jesse. I renovated my master bathroom and put the heated floor in. Boy, do I enjoy it on a cool morning. The tile floor feels so nice on bare feet. That would be something to think about in your master bath. 😉❤️
LOL! I just realized you had arranged the pinecones XD Love the bomb shelter idea, cant wait to see this home finished.
What an intriguing home. Must have taken a lot of thought to build. Cannot wait to see what you and your husband do to make it your home. So interesting.
I am completely overwhelmed. I cannot imagine how you are feeling!! I am so impressed with your plans and I especially cannot wait to see what you do with Little Italy and what your husband does with the bomb shelter! How fun!! (Bohemian and Bar are exactly what those spaces need to be!). I’m going to pray that the next year is safe and fun with minimal stress as you guys take this on! SO EXCITING! ♥️
I’m a weirdo! I thrive on this kinda stuff 😆 Feeling much more patient this time around as I want to savor building our dream home together ☺️ I want to do it once and do it right by taking our time. Jesse is going to make that bomb shelter soooo cool!
So excited for y’all!!
The house does have really good bones. Two thoughts - do you really need to replace the main level floors to achieve a lighter look. Consider pickling. You can replace them later if you really need to. 2nd upstairs loft - even the really good skylights tend to have leakage and the wood ceilings could get damaged. Consider light tubes. Easier to put in and may be enough natural light for you. I agree with the comment about leaving the half wall. That space would be a great nursery/children's room and you'll need the security. Good luck - it's going to be great!
Wowzers! Laura 💜 I cannot wait to see this transform and all of your dreams unfold! This is so exciting 🙌 I am so happy for you and Jessie. 💚💙
We put a bunk bed ladder in the laundry chute…great fun for kids!
I love love all your ideas! I would so do the same with the windows to look out to that beautiful view outside. Please don’t stop recording the process.
I wanna see it all. 😊
Dying to see what the house and yard looks like from the outside!!!🥰 so happy for you guys! You are beaming!
Lovely, beautiful, wonderful!
💖🏡💖
Your yard WOW! So many cool things going in on, can’t wait to see the transformation. Thanks for sharing! 🐝🐞
I am so happy for you Laura!
Your home screams your style. Beautiful wood tones, lighting to bring nature inside/outside, and the rooftop terrace! Can’t wait to see what you do with it all! Reminds me of a Frank Loyd Wright design! I love our sky windows that are retractable. Hearing and watching the rain splatter upon them is so soothing!
The accordion door is a classic. 😉
Yes! And, it's wood!
Hoping they either find another space where it will be useful or sell it to someone who needs it.
Anything we don’t keep we’ll donate to habitat for Humanity 😄
Wow this new house is amazing! I can’t wait to see it when it’s all updated!
Such a gorgeous home! So unique which I love with lots of character! 🥰
Super exciting Sister! Can't wait.
Looks lovely. Can't wait to see the finished product. Congrats to you both. 😊
A beautiful home Laura - so happy for you both. The rooftop terrace is completely 😍🙏💖... How wonderful to watch the seasons change from that space.
Enjoy this special time 🙏💖😁👍
So excited for you! This house will turn into a home in no time!
The house is already absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what you do!🌸💞🌸
Absolutely beautiful! I can hardly wait to see you transform this house into your home!
Fireplace suggestion: one of those uber cool 'Rat Pack' era round pedestal fireplaces. That or something similar will simply replace the wood stove--no trying to match brick or having to paint, etc.....and very much in line with your mcm preferences. :)
Thanks for sharing, can't wait!!!😍
Your home will be awesome. Those trees are majestic. So happy for you. Good luck in all your endeavors.
This is super exciting, can't wait to see the transformations! Congrats!!
Very unique house,can’t wait to see all the changes. Beautiful back yard and terrace
