Kristie Wolfe restores boat-shaped cabin in forsaken lake

- Kristie Wolfe has transformed a giant potato, a fire lookout, and an earthen hole into homes and now she's converting a "shipwreck" into a family retreat.
Built in the 1960s as a whimsical lake-side home, when Wolfe bought the extreme fixer-upper, it looked as if it had crashed ashore.
Reusing most of the wood, Kristie- with help from her sister and mom- has rebuilt the dark space into something open and light with huge crossbeams. For the kitchen, she and her family crew laid an 18-foot-long cement countertop on their own for $500, instead of $3500 (uninstalled) to purchase one.
She picked a blue from the hardware store that happened to be called "Shipwreck" and the name stuck. She's rebuilt the prow with an antique steering wheel and for the bunk room, she's building curved nautical bunk beds.

Hello Kristie
My grandad, “papa” bought the lot and built this home. I spent every summer here growing up and have many happy memories. My grandmother passed away some time ago but papa is still with us. My mom helped him get to see this. He was so very thankful it belongs to someone who will restore the home and bring it back to life. A very heartfelt thank you from me as well.
What a great story. Being a 4th generation Idahoan, it’s nice to see a piece of our history that now continues to make even more.
What a cool story. And wonderful memories.
awesome, thanks for your comment, i bet it looked lovely in its heyday
Jason. I was sooo pleased to read that your Papa has been able to see this restoration. Time weathers everything including we humans too. What a joy it must be for him to know that someone has taken the time and used their expertise to continue what was once his own place of tranquillity. God Bless both your Papa, and Kristie Wolfe.
I hope someone will take your papa to see the finished site in person 👍🥰
You can feel this girl energy. Great video.
Kirsten, I'm in Love with this "Shipwreck", as well as All of Kristie's work. There is only one thing .... Too Short. I could have watched this for hours. Please promise to bring us back for a part two, when it is more finished. Big Thanks to Kristie for the content and time she afforded for this video. Another Big Thanks to You and Mr Dirksen for your photography ability and time, as well as your very adequate editing skills.
This Wreck made my Heart and face Smile.
💕💕💕
@@Kristiemaewolfe Get yourself a TH-cam channel already, you can see there's high demand in the comments (could help pay for swim lessons, also in demand!).
Literally the most glamorous laid back builder in the history of glamorous laid back builders. One of the best videos I've seen on YT in ages, props to Kirsten for capturing, and of course, Kirstie, and mum and sis, what a team! Follow all of Kirstie's projects and this one is a beast... huge project, super cool and looks to have been executed perfectly, massive respect. Can't wait to see the next one.
I am awestruck. Such ingenuity, industry, persistence, artistry, functional creativeness, etc., etc. You are my hero.
Kristie is Awesome! Another magnificient property! 👍🏻❤️🍻
Saw Kristie Wolfe and clicked so fast!
Haha
me too lol. she is such a babe.
@@drinkingpoolwater the work she does is beyond inspiring, ill always watch the walkthrough of any property she touches. But, yeah, no arguments, shes as gorgeous as her restorations
Lol hell yea !! Lord aint she just gorgeous and amazing !!!!
She finds and makes the most creative properties
She's back!
Kristie is such an artist in everything she takes on. She goes ALL OUT!!! There are just not very many "unique" properties like that, that are "grandfathered". Most gov't lakes have large setbacks. So BRAVO Kristie, for finding this! AND thank YOU, Kristen for bringing it to us!
shes an artist for paying people to do work?? i dont understand how buying propertie or paying people to restore them could be a talent.
@@frangalvez6987 sure... no talent or artistry on show here at all. Jeez, comments like this are the worst part of the internet.
Who ever married this woman struck gold….. amazing lady…. So talented. I love the 70’s scenery paintings!
What a privilege!!!!!! Love people who restore buildings of any kind...kudos to them.
This lady is LITERALLY so inspirational!!! Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏
What an interesting and fabulous idea! Please 🙏🏻 go back and film when she is done as I would love to see the finished build!
Cheers
So much to love about this story Kirsten. The location is breathtaking. I love that she chose to save and rehab the home rather than tear it down and put in something modern which would be out of character for the landscape. How she took the time to salvage and repurpose things. I also loved seeing this family of women doing the work rather than contracting it out. I will definitely check out the links you provided to other projects she's done. Her energy and can-do attitude and determination was infectious.
Man, this chick is always doing cool stuff!
I even have enough respect for what she does to refer to her as "this babe"
@@greenwave819 LOL, well.. She's awesome. And cute, which doesn't hurt.
@@itskarl79 I'm with you my friend. Let's hope she notices our comments and lets us collaborate on a future lopcation!!
@@itskarl79 I'm with you my friend. Let's hope she notices our comments and lets us collaborate on a future lopcation!!
@@greenwave819 HAHAHAHA, good luck with that. I love that women are striving for empowerment in the modern day, but too many pathologically independent that can't commit.
I am absolutely obsessed with Kristie, I’ve been binging any video of hers I can find for hours now. It amazes me what she can do and does. She is extremely talented, brilliant minded and a great personality, she seems very humble, frugal and not full of herself! I wish I had even an 1/8 of her talent and skills!
Fantastic rebuild I’m very impressed and it’s not finished yet
Doing it yourself makes the finished product so much more appreciated and a life long story...
Great project, the original owners would be proud that she is refurbishing their once loved wrecked house...a follow up video when finished would be very interesting, also that lake and view are priceless 👌❤👍
I really hope I can find someone related to the original builders
@@Kristiemaewolfe ...and also give yourself a big pat on the back you've done a mighty good job so far...but please take a few swimming lessons 😀
love your coverage of Kristie's passion projects through the years. Bravo!
Miss Wolfe is absolutely stunning.
Fantastic work!!! ♥ Send congratulations to Kristie Wolfe, please. ♥
She's so beautiful, strong, smart and handy 🤩
OMG! This woman is a BADASS. Seriously so inspiring and not to mention gorgeous! Good for her !!!
Wow this lady knows her stuff Congratulations on your new home the shipwreck 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love your presentation style!
the Unstoppable Lady Wolfe 🔥
Kristie Wolfe is an amazingly creative young woman!
Not only does she envision these creative projects, she also does most of it herself 👌 You can tell that she really loves what she's doing.
Dear Ms. Wolfe, just so you know, I was in the US Navy in the mid 70's. I went thru bootcamp in a 'non-swim' company. Later at a damage control/firefighting school, the instructor asked 'how many people can not swim?'. Out of the approximately 200 students, a good 20 to 25% (yes percent not individuals) raised their hands. "Watch them they are the best fire fighters on the ship, they have no where to go" said the Instructor.
This is an amazing project, and you are doing great job. Also loved jasonwilliams6968's comment about showing it to his Grandfather. (Not just because we also called my Grandfather "Papa", must be a Welsh thing lol.
She is so gifted and determined. Can't wait to see the updates.
I love the way you present your videos and leave the majority of the talking to the owners, really get some good information. This is such an interesting home and a credit to the owner’s skill and determination! Amazing video
WOW! What a view. It's alot of work but so worth it.
Just discovered Kristie on TH-cam, she is soo talented. I didn’t like them mixing cement without a mask, but she works hard. She needs a show on HGTV, instead of those older shows that have gotten boring.
One of the coolest houses on this channel ever
Wolfe is total amazeballs! I don't know about construction, but she seems to work so fast and efficiently! I guess it's like she said, she doesn't wait around and subcontract stuff out. Can you imagine how long she would have had to wait for those giant windows? I cant. probably months and months. I love her design aesthetic: functional and practical but still with a flair for the dramatic, a touch of whimsy, and even glamour.
I watched Kristie on her other projects. What an amazing eye she has for all things repurposed, eclectic, forward thinking. She's fearless. I really admire who she is & what she's able to do. Thanks Kirsten, for all you do, as well.
Hi Kirsten. Thanks to you this wonderful restoration has been recorded and the sheer brilliance of Kristie Wolfe has been recognised and acknowledged. I say well done to her for the refit and re design of this awesomely located property.
P.S. If anyone who lives near Kristie knows how to teach her how to swim, Then Please Please approach her to offer her the help to learn how to. purely from a safety standpoint. But also so that she can feel more confident on and around the water. I'm in Coastal Western Australia, so being able to swim and surf etc... is a way of life here.If I were there I'd offer to teach her myself, otherwise.
A GENIUS! That's what and who you are Ms. Kristie Wolfe!
That young lady is a pure genius at what she does.She has an eye for what could be and a flair with imagination. Then she does what she needs to to make it happen. She learns stuff in order to make the project happen. She's not letting any adversity get her down. This one is gonna take her awhile though. That structure has so many levels that she is completely remodeling. Up to and including moving the kitchen from one floor to the one above. And she's as frugal as she can be about the whole process. When that is finished a few years from now it's gonna be awesome.
It's always worth looking into whatever project Kristie Wolfe is working on, because of what they are, and how she approaches them.
This girl is incredible! She has the eye for architecture, design and repurpose stuff. This is the second vid that I have seen with Kristie. Great vid Kirsten, loved the Shipwreck.
I just love meeting a woman whose can do attitude manifests itself in a work of art like this.
I'm so glad you're back at it.
My gosh, what a lovely view!
Good on her and her perspectives and skills. What fun!
From an early age, I learned "access, access, access". To build/renovate need accessability to get things in and out. Watching you go down the steps to bottom level reminded me AAA!
Kristie is amazing. She’s only limited by her imagination.
Right? So creative.
Which seems to be endless
I don't think she's even limited by her imagination.
Thanks Kirsten, a breathe of fresh air!
Amazing property! She is doing a fantastic job!
I would love to see this place again, completed.I love this area, great night skies, the camping across the lake is lovely and that very cold lake, even in July, is a great recreational resource! Love to see the Pirate Ship being renovated - wonderful!
I love to see an update on when it's finished!🙏😊
Every one of her projects is so entertaining and cool.
yes agreed she is pretty visionary
I get it! I was raised cruising the Great Lakes on my parents yacht and have owned boats…but I can’t swim for the life of me. I sink like a rock. It doesn’t stop me from boating! Absolutely incredible Kristie; every time I watch this I see something new. You are unbelievable!
Wow she is a rare breed😲❤️ so inspiring!!! Out of this world.
I love Kristie's work. This and the fire lookout are my favorites so far. Thanks for another great video!
"Shipwreck" is Kristie's best project yet!! ... All her projects are amazing. Whom am I kidding 🤦
Such a dreamy property! Fascinating!
As always, another fabulous video, the view is worth whatever price she paid, love that she reclaimed all the wood she could, most people would have took wood to a dump,to much waste, with lumber prices , out of reason.
Great project. Stunning location.
I'll say it: Beautiful location - Beautiful view, what's not to like. Hell, a pup tent and a outhouse would be a winner there, but am confident by the time Kristie is done it will more than compliment such an ideal spot.
Exactly, a tent in a gorgeous location is better then a mansion in a bad location.
You are doing an incredible job Beautiful home... House that's stood for that long deserves to be cared for👍🤗💓
It's great when you rediscover a channel that you haven't watched for a long time and wonder why you haven't watched it for a long time 😀
Fascinating project and beautiful scenery for a handmade dreamboat of a shipwreck. Thank you for sharing this.
Great to see Kristie again. Her vision and dedication to the style and craft of these places is always so amazing!
Great story Kirsten.
Loved it a lot
Love this ladies work. She has some great places. This is my favourite so far. You need to do another one when it’s finished.
Absolutely love her design ideas
You have done an excellent job thus far Kristie.
Kristie is such a cool designer, I love her projects.
Kristie is always doing interesting projects. Good for her!
she is a true artist who literally lives in her art
Every episode with Kristie is amazing. Some of the coolest homes on the entire channel.
This is so cool! I had a great uncle who built his cottage to look like a ship. My great aunt and uncle “christened” it Ship to Shore. It was renamed and extended after a fire, long before I was born. My siblings and cousins all knew it as the Boat House.
It’s really fun to see that there are other people who have the same idea of building a boat/ship next to a lake. :)
I’ll have to have a little christing too
@@Kristiemaewolfe :) Absolutely!
@@Kristiemaewolfe Kristie, it's so exciting to see you at work again! This is a beautiful project, and the love you and your family are lavishing on it will be felt by everyone who visits. 💛🚢 💛
kristie is always up to something new,creative and beautiful
Kristie is an amazing woman. I love her creativity and style. Along with her ability to make the old fabulous.
Very cool and unique home.
Omg! Unique and creative beauty! Thanks for saving it! Good job so far!!!👍🏻
BEAUTIFUL PLACE👍🇲🇽
Bad ass woman, great to see her fearlessly take on such a project. Will be cool when it's finished 🏞
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great job so far, looking forward to the final reveal in the future. Stay Hydrated & Cool this summer... Abrazos
Kirsten, this is inspirational. Very grateful for your documenting the wonderful undertakings of Kristie Wolfe and so many other creative and daring DYI builds.
This is a great restore! Very cool!
I love all of this ladies projects! So cool.
Omg you are so lucky this place is great and so are you for saving it..😇
Oh WOW! Kristie is doing it again!
I love that woman and all the projects she manage to pull out, you can see how happy she gets with every single success
What an interesting lake house. So glad you can save it and enjoy it for years to come.
Stunning house! Great job renovating it as well,can’t wait to see it finished 😁🤙🏽
Kirsten, thank you for the videos about Kristie Wolfe´s work- her own videos are useless, confused and fragmented. You give us a clear, coherent view of her incredible work....
This gal is freaking AMAZING!
Wow, this woman always amazes me! The projects she takes on are so incredible! What she's done so far is great! You go girl (or I should say woman)!👏💞😀🇨🇦
*BRILLIANT PLACE FOR FEW DAYS AWAY, IM SO IMPRESSED WITH WOMAN, TOTAL HAT OFF TO HER, RESPECT FROM SCOTLAND*
This house is just too charming! I hope we get to see it finished🤗🐝❤️
Awesome. Many thanks for sharing!!
She is so creative!
This woman is absolutely amazing.
I love her projects. She's so much fun!
Wow, what a project!
Kristie has an amazing amount of energy and creativity. I didn't see any purlins on that deck over the living room. I wonder how she plans to vent it? without proper venting she will end up with condensation on the underside of the deck.
