- Peter Saunders from England is a huge fan of all things dating back to the time when Queen Victoria ruled her empire. He has even created a home that is an authentic tribute to that period. We met up with one man who really is living the dream.

This has literally been my dream house for such a long time. I love anything from the Victorian era, or the Medieval times.
Autumn Falls same here, i am trying to live their lives, the best thing for me to do is going to europe in the future, many Franch, German or Italian place have the style ! or joining the armish in US but pretty impossible for me.
Autumn Falls and don't forget England ;)
Same here too!
Yup. Me too.
Me too. I would love to live in this house 😍
What a wonderful escape from the 21st century. Peace and quiet with lovely surrounds,
+Lynnek8 I agree!!!!!!!!! I had originally started viewing Victorian post mortem pictures, became fascinated with the style of the era, then branched out to all aspects, homes, clothes, customs. I've only scratched the surface & want to learn more.It can be a very ugly world today, this makes me happy
+bigsir333 Thanks I did the same
I never figure out why people _with_ money prefer Ikea/Scandinavian style furnishings instead of traditional decor.
heanley ots I agree. i find modern furniture looks too plain. old fashioned furniture is more solid and last longer.
heanley ots there could be many reasons. Maybe it's because those people "with" money doesn't have the same taste in furnishings like us. Some don't splurge on things like that. They put their minds and money elsewhere...
Easier to clean?
toady i really like scandinavian interiors but i like this too
Yes that would be because one doesn’t become a person « with money » by spending their money...
I love the Victorian style. Its so pretty
It's amazing how many people want to live the way we used to in eras gone by. Maybe they hanker after a previous life and really miss it.
Peter you are beautifully nostalgic, one in a million , keep up the good work, protect and recreate British Heritage.
I want this house to enjoy using my vintage tea cups in!!!
Beautifully done. I hope he gets his shop up and running.
Oh Peter your home is truley wonderful i just love it keep up the good work. The I live in a 400 year old irish cottage and i love it i have filled with oil lamps and all antiques and just love it i also hide my tv like you lol dont mind having one just dont like to look at it. I even have Edwardian clothes and a corset lol and i use my victorian china everyday and bake all my own cakes and i cook on the fire with my griddle. The only piece missing in my home is a lovely cast iron range like yours i just love them have a cast iron multi fuel stove for heating which means my house runs on coal but only for heat would love a cooking range in my kitchen. Would love to have tea in your parlour its stunning and your shop is coming on great you should feel very proud of what you have done your house will love you forever i only wish more people were like you. You are truely an inspiration xo
do you have a video? I would love to see it.
Jasmine Mcburney Yes Jasmine, do you have video of your cottage? I would love to see it!
Jasmine Mcburney I'd like a peek of it too
Jasmine Mcburney I would love it if you showed us your cottage
@@alinerm246 She made one
I want to marry him...I hadve been wishing to have a man like that!! I don't like the future,I Love the past
This is really really bazaar truely I did not read your comment. I just wrote what I was thinking and we have both minds that's think alike. I just said about marrying him to WOW this is so amazing who will be his bride. Living the Victorian dream.
He had on a ring and said "When "we" moved in" so he may already be married or married to a man, I get Gay vibes off him, a strait man would never have that many flowers or look that adoringly at a dress.
I hate to break it to you, but he is gay.
me too! He's dreamy!
Ellise Dash - why do you want a gay man? It would work for me. I’m old and don’t care to share a bed ;)
I love this man so much!
Yes!!! I've been trying to find this video again for so long and I finally found it!
How come this guy wears a wrist watch? He should have a pocket watch
Thankyou so much . Brilliant. I agree , there is an elegance, and a soul that is missing in todays souless furnishings. Great effort. John (Australia)
Love eccentrics. The whole 'ensemble's enchanting I have many inherited many lovely things from my ancestors and treasure them lovingly.
I agree with the "Nothing is worse than being normal" I to am an odd person.
I like how he actually made his house as close as original as possible.
what a dedication! Absolutely wonderful
I absolutely love your home and garden.
It is a real credit to you : )
He is rich at his age, he got a big beautiful house with gorgeous garden. He's living in my dream.
I'm with Peter! Well done, sir!! Love it. And what a lovely person he is.
Wow that tea china is gorgeous. As is everything.
Wow Peter, I absolutely love your home!
aaahh i respect this man so much. I wish to have that kind of house of my own someday
enjoyed this very much I'm a vintage lifestyler as well approximately 1927. Everything in my house I try to keep between 1910 with 1939 as my cut off date. must be something we single guys just do who knows
What a delight.
Beautiful! Wonderful!!!

I just left you the 1000. like! =) Came across a german version of this & searched for the original for my writer's research of Victorian Era. I'm currently working on a steampunk novella, so this was very helpful, thank you!
,,,i really envy someone who could do anything he/she wants in their house,,,i have a contradicting mom & sis!,,,that's why i want to have a home of my own,,,someday!
yes, freedom is important. Brazilian hugs to you!
Peter Saunders is not alone as many enjoy living in the Victorian era with all the posh and bits and bobs.
That is great work! An inspiration that I wish to follow. Keep it up!
I AM A MOOR AMERICAN WOMAN AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR HOUSE SO PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HOME WITH US, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
I love this, Thank You
First time warper I've seen that went back that far.
Oh my god i would marry him. I love the Victorian era!!
I grew up in a Victorian terraced house (built in 1880) and it didn't have many remaining period features at all. In fact we converted the loft in 1997.
Would have been very interesting to see it in its heydey, apparently the previous owners took out the range in 1974.
We have pounds in England, not euros! 😊
+Jude Kershaw but the video is made by Deutsche Welle English, so targeted at a European audience (hence why they use Euros).
We have dollars in 'Muurica.
It’s beautiful! I’d definitely love there!
Peter you’re an original and that’s great. Live your life as you desire!
This is amazing
Love what you are doing.
utterly brilliant
What a wonderful thing to do, it's not bad at all. I quite like the idea of the home being completely Victorian.
Looks great 👍
Oh Peter I just love this!!
Come into the Parla...
Its definitely the perfect home for friends and tea time. I for one would enjoy the company in this house very much. As so long nobody touched anything cuz I'd have to rip their hearts out but other than that it is very sweet house to enjoy being in.
superb,
He must be friends with that Victorian era couple :)
Don't blame him. Our house is 1850's cottage. We keep the living room Victorian themed but the rest of the house is a mix of modern and old .
My studio in the garden is a large wooden summer house, and I panelled it inside like an 18th century Hugenot house. And have original 18th century furniture and stuff in it.
It looks like the house I grew up in with my grandparents! I wish I appreciated all the antiques they had growing up, I used to hate that we were so old fashioned in the 90's, but they died and it all got sold 😯
Interesting man.Just loved what he did with the place!
So beautiful
I want to see more!
Looka amazing. :)
Oh, I Love It!
Love his spirit more than his house. 💕
MAGNIFIQUE.
omg at last some one as looney as me ! love it beautiful house x
Smashing job you did. Personally, I'm not into the floral patterns. Still........I like what you've done with your place. Keep it up
That is cool peter x i love retro and feel ( i suspect my agin uncle aint got his livin room much diff) love this style xxx
So cool.
Lovely
I live in an 1890s in pittsburgh, wish I had the money to restore it like that.
Awesome I live like that too ☺️
BEAUTIFUL HOUSE!!
I love him!!! And the house!!! I would love to pop over for tea!!
you are something elsewow i love the way you live
This is my absolute dream, I'd give my all to live like this and to wear the clothes everyday
In this time ,people live horrible , grey ,brown or black leather or vinyl sofas , horrible posters ,and a huge tv , and 24/7 celulars , but this young man choose to live in a nice way , it seems to have a firm personality , and he have what many men lack today ,Wich is manhood to make positive changes to improve their lives , actually men in this days are emasculated ,!! I admire this young man for his courage !!
Was that range/fireplace in the house already? I remember when I was a boy and my mother took me with her to visit an old lady who still had one. She also had one of those little beds in a recess in the wall, hidden behind a curtain. She shared the toilet with he next door neighbour. I’ve seen two homes with these cast iron ranges. There’s something very comforting and cosy about them. All I have is my Edwardian oil lamp lol.
I'm proud of you too !
God bless him!
Your cottage is so beautiful. I've always wanted a wee hoose in the country preferably Victorian. Maybe one dream.....
beautiful house
All these women 'I want to marry him!'. I'm quite convinced his love interests lay more close to an Y shaped chromosome ...
I thought the same thing.
So what? May he find a wonderful partner who shares his interest.
He's british so we never know 🤷♀️
oh how envious am I
Cool! Wish I'm invited for tea ;)
That's a seriously nice house! Looks expensive
yes.
lol cute you can count me in on that note i love what he did i want the same thing soon ill have it also :)
Please make a update for the general store
I think I finally found my dream guy... *sobs*
What are you, fuckin' gay?
i bet his straighteners are hidden underneath the bed lol!
Lovely house, but I didn't understand why the narrator was American and sounding flip
I wish I lived in the Victorian era
I like these houses, but life during Victorian times was very harsh.
i hope you are still on line
This is gorgeous! but modern interior design always looks like it's been done by science lab workers with OCD.
His house looks rich.
Peter seem like quite a swell guy.
Magical.........and, just think, he could have gone to IKEA!!!!!!!
If Peter would like a Grandmama to add a bit more authenticity, I'll apply for the job!
i think victorian style is amazing for dollhouses decoration and for the outsides an exteriors, with the conservatory looks stunningly beautiful, but for a dialy basics looks kinda creepy to me....a little bit like granny´s house, but not the good granny, i mean like the evil and fanatic religious one, hahahha in my opinion, but i think looks interesting
This is me entirely
I'd marry him on a heartbeat!!
Sadly he wouldn't marry you, he's gay.
I would love to be able to afford to do this.
Sadly I could see myself doing that.
thought the chap in the thumbnail was a blond billy boyd lmaoooo
