    Brian, I can't tell you how happy I am that you bought this house! I first saw this house in Architecture of The Old South published by Beehive Press when I was a pre-teen. I fell in love with it. My husband and I looked at it in the early 2000s. It was too much for us to handle at the time. I have worried about it ever since.

    When your video came up, Brian, I was immediately reminded of your Christmas Tour of your Virginia Home and of how much I admired your style and zest for life. You still
    maintain those qualities. I truly wish you were my neighbour. Pleased to see how you have not only moved on but how you have evolved. Don't ever change. Cheers!

      I own an historic home and lhave a deep passion for it, but I don't brag about it. These people are all rich so they can spend whatever they want. It is people like me that have a limited budget-- wherer the real creativity comes in--I am a fine artist and that is what makes it special. Kim

  • @TheFiown
    @TheFiown 5 місяців тому +3

    Before I moved into my Paris apartment I had a student stay in it for three days and paint all the ceilings, best investement ever ! HATE painting ceilings. I then had all the floor carpet lifted (royal blue with bleach stains) and had the floor levelled and had sisal carpeting put down throughout as the original wood floors were in very bad condition. This made my life so much easier. Turns out I moved out a year later just as I had finished decorating as my upstair neighbour flooded me, kitchen cabinets full of china fell of the wall during the night etc. Insurance was a mess between the realter, the neighbour and my bank no-one wanted to foot the bill so I moved everything into storage and took a small apartment nearby that I decorated for a year before moving again, this time to Brazil ! I have just moved again and THIS TIME I am staying put, at least until they bury me !

    Back in the early 1960’s, my father and his wife bought, restored and lived in an historic home in Edgefield also from the 1700’s. When they left to live out their last years in an ALF in Florida, the home was sold to a real estate company for their offices. Thank you for this tour of Cedar Grove! It took me back to many visits to Edgefield.

    Brian has such exquisite taste as I have seen in his other home. I cannot wait to see what he does with this historic home. The estate office on the back porch of this home had the door off the back so in many years past the workers would come to receive their pay without entering the quarters of the family. I visited an estate of a historic southern plantation in Louisiana that had an office similar. Love this home!

    I'm Italian and don't know this gentleman, but I have a feeling that he will refurbish this utterly AMAZING property BEAUTIFULLY!!! I'm as excited about this almost as much as he is and am extremely happy for him !!! I've been passionate about houses since I was about 8 years old and doing floor plans with plasticine at that tender age. At 16 I did a floor plan of the house of my dreams. At 63 I found that very house in Costa del Sol ,Andalucia, Spain and we obviously bought it. So dreams can come true. It belonged to the eighth earl of Warwick. The proof of this is on the deeds and on a ticket that we found stuck behind kitchen units. I love this house so much that I talk to " her"( she is definitely female 😂)and regularly tell her how beautiful she is. She has AMAZING sea views as we can see the north Africa coastline and she also has mountain views, a patio Andaluz and 2 swimming pools. Unfortunately I'm 71 now ( with some health issue's ) somewhat short of cash and time to complete the restorations of other small exterior outbuildings on the property,but will be forever grateful to God for having found my dream home. Moral of this story? NEVER GIVE UP ON DREAMS !!! ps if you sit on your butt it ain't gonna happen though,so work at it and it will ❤

    Hi Brian, Lisa A-W here! So good to watch this tour on my large screen monitor. I love it. How are things coming along, Dear? I can't wait to get a personal tour someday when you are further along. The Wicker is a perfect match to compliment your porch. The Library room will be wonderful when it's complete. Brian, instead of tearing down the pergola that overhangs the pool house, on the right side of it, just put a beautiful lattice style trellis and let beautiful flowering plant of your choice climb it. Think about that, at least it's a temporary alternative and you make like it.

She will thank you for it and I am certain the Gardens will be amazing. I have watched your Vlog three times already all because I want to imagine that you will accomplish your Renovation in just one year and your Belle ready for Christmas. Please make more Videos. She is perfect, peaceful Home. Thank you I enjoyed your Architectual Historical reveal.

    If you have 2 or 3 ceiling fans on a porch and they are placed appropriately, you can set them to low and get a steady but mild all around breeze. Best reason to do that: mosquitoes can’t fly or land in a windstorm. 😍

    Just beautiful....Brian I love your idea of using colors from the wall pape as you consider paint choices for the other rooms.! That wall paper would have sold me on the house as well.
    And all of us who told you to start a you tube channel are waiting to see you show us the restoration step by step!! I get so many good ideas from your decor!

    Stunning home. I can't wait to see the restoration. The room size is incredible and I love the fireplaces. Thank you so much for sharing.
