Honestly, I don't know if I'm more excited about the house, or just that I don't have to live in airbnbs anymore. 😂
Hopefully this is my first, and last, empty house tour on this channel! I hope you enjoy it! There will definitely be a lot more house related content on this channel in the future, and I'm so excited to turn this house from modern farmhouse vibes into "eccentric artist who loves whimsy and antiques" sort of house. (I asked the house, and she's very excited for this makeover.) 😂

maybe they should look into hemp as a possible replacement for plastic as it's totally sustainable..
Get Rachel Maksy to paint you a mural? Love the house! Your kitchen is as big as my whole hut, and I don't have an oven at all.. I wish you much love and happiness there!
Very late thank you, as I think that I was introduced to Native on this channel. Still using the deodorant. They now have body wash (don't need it, but want it as smelling like a vanilla cupcake is on my "bucket list").
@@marikotrue3488 "bucket list" 😂 I love it!!
Mid-century modern is very inviting and cool when done right, but Arts & Crafts (especially when stain glass is used) it’s amazing I think.
Maybe do both, but with the same color palette? Mid-Century Modern on Hubby's side of the office, and Arts and Crafts on yours, but with the same shades of green? That way you can both define each space as personal while also combine them as shared? Just a thought.
I LOVE William Morris' wallpaper designs; I think the Arts and Crafts movement will be great inspiration!
Mid century modern can mesh with William Morris if done correctly...
I agree with the comment of meshing to two styles by using similar colors. My husband and I don't share office spaces so he gets to do what he wants in his gaming room and office on the 2nd floor, which are both dark spaces with heavy curtains and rich jewel tones (he's sorta a vampire LOL). While my space (pretty much all of the main living space is a mix of sunny windows, arts and crafts earth tones and vintage/bookish vibe. Our biggest compromise was my love of vintage items with his desire for all thinks modern / techy.
I hate mid century 😂😂. Maybe when done right.
So nice to hear someone NOT doing boring grey!!!!
Can’t wait to see it become yours
When I bought my house last summer it was all beige which is horrendous! I put color, patterns and texture all over because why miss out on all that stuff for boring grey or beige!
I can not stand modern farmhouse style! There is even a fb group where they make fun of all the words on walls… so funny!! Getting rid of the grey is a good start! 💕

Omg your new house is giving Hallmark Movie Vibes where a new family learns the value of Christmas thanks to a Hot Handyman. Not that it’s going to happen literally in your case 😂
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i love everything about this
That pretty much sums up all Hallmark films of the last 20 years or so😹
Or fairy godmother Nicole sweeps in wearing one of her fabulous outfits.
@@charischannah 😯🤯 I can so picture this!! I didn't know I needed that image in my life *thank you so much!!* 🤩
Quote of the Day: “When you move out of the house, clean up after yourselves because you never know when a UA-camr is going to shame you on the Internet, right?”
Shout-out to the people who painted the bathroom shit brown after selling the house of my teen years to my mother.... Because she was divorced and they were very passive aggressive about it. (I was old enough to be aware of allllll of that).
I would LOVE to have torn that apart online 😂😂
@@mialemon6186 w o w
I found that comment kind of cringe and entitled tbh. Neither it which I typically associate with Abbey, I hasten to add!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back in the day I had to rent. It never failed that the place was filthy (including the fridge!) so I had to do a deep clean before even unpacking stuff. I hated that so much, I would do a complete clean before even giving the keys back to the property owners.
The benefits of grand millenial is that you can go *both* mid century modern and arts and crafts, lol. Embrace the eclectic! My house has like stuff that's victorian inspired, stuff that's mid century modern, stuff that's very much contemporary (though still thrifted in my case). I love how it mixes and melds into a house that's uniquely mine.
Amen!
Sounds A. Maze. Ing.
The way I “decorate” is more of a “if I feel something, I’ll find somewhere for it” I don’t care the style era or whatever…
Idea for the studio: paint two or three walls, put coordinated wallpaper on the other/s. Less visual heavy than WP all over, less boring than just paint. And YES to green, I love green.
PS: gorgeous home, the living room is amazing. The windows DO open, right?
The theater is… unexpected? LOL. Great though.
Totally agree on having wallpaper on just one or two walls. Also make sure you consider how the paint color will interact with your lighting.
Oh I can't wait to see what kind of window treatments she comes up with 🤩
@@mirandarensberger6919 a tip we learned years ago, paint a scrap piece of gyprock about 1 x 1&1/2 metres, using sample pots of the colours you think you want, then move the painted board around the room at different times of the day, to see how it reacts to different lighting conditions... it'll give you a bit of an idea if that colour is gonna work in that space...
Yes to the wallpaper on only one or two walls. I did that in my living room at my last apartment and the interior guy thought I was nuts. He definitely wasn’t up to date on wallpaper trends for a place that just does wallpaper…
@@UnicornsPoopRainbows I totally am NOT up to date on anything, it's just that it makes sense to me not to put WP everywhere, even more if the pattern is busy.
Costumed affairs can conclude in the theatre. Edwardian to the late 1920s, guests will watch silent films. 1930's, It Happened One Night, King Kong, or Bringing up Baby. 1940's, Casablanca, Key Largo (note the 1940s Bogart theme here), Philadelphia Story. ...... You can get a popcorn sponsor !!! The benefit of not having natural lights in your filming room is that you can do the interviews anytime. The bad news of not having natural lights is that you can do the interviews anytime.
I love this idea!!
I actually loved the 2019 version of ‘Little Women’ but the 1994 version is indeed the OG so I can’t argue with that. It’s so cute that you’re going to have a ‘Little Women’ Room. 👏🏽
I can't wait for your decorating content. We're hopefully buying a house this year but we'll be getting a welsh terraced house in the valleys. It'll probably be around 120 years old so I can take some inspiration from how houses were decorated back then.
It's so beautiful, bright, and airy! So excited to see what you do with the place.
Congratulations! One positive about the farmhouse style is that a lot of the decor probably won’t be that awful stuff that was in the 80s and 90s. And I know the theater room feels weird, but there are some movies that you’ll get to experience on the big screen for the first time! Just like folks originally did back in the day. We got to see the Wizard of Oz on a large movie screen (only previously seeing it on a tv) there were a lot of details that I noticed that I’ve never seen before, like the make up on the scarecrow‘s face has a texture. But PLEASE - whether filmed or not - do a tipsy Mystery Science Theatre with Chrissy and Nicole!
I recall seeing Lawrence of Arabia at a theater across the street from Cal State Fullerton. The film was amazing because you got the wide sweep of the desert landscape and it just enveloped you. I also Abel Gance’s Napoleon with a live orchestra at the Shrine Auditorium in 1981… if you ever have the chance to see these films on a large screen, do so.
Ooohhh... MST3K but make it AWFUL historical fashion!! (And cross the streams by inviting Kendra from Frock Flicks for some 18th century roasting!!)
Yes! I saw a re-release of The Wizard of Oz and noticed that there's actually oil that comes out of the Tin Man's oil can!
OMG! I Love ❤️ the idea of MST3K in a home theater!! LOL Wine with cheese (or cheese popcorn) and you and yours can roast a movie of your choice. You could also just watch any MST3K and let them do the work! 🤣🤣🤣
As much as I love sunshine flooding the room and the presence of natural light, it’s very hot here so Summers are basically when I turn into a metaphorical vampire and make the room a darker (light wise) space.
Subi view needs to be an extended feature! I cannot wait for the mildly intoxicated film studies with Nicole and Chrissy
Yaaasss! So much shade will be thrown in that theatre!
totally agreed!!
Liked how the "Subi View" was basically focused on places where treats might be ! Lol !
The green will transition amazingly to the fun floral patterns. We moved from a 1950s split to a 1918 row home so we're all about merging the two periods and seeing what happens.
I didn’t make it 2 minutes in and OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT LIGHT. We lived for almost 11 years in a tiny place with almost exclusively north light. In PDX. So gray, so sad, so SAD. We found a house about 8 blocks away that has big rooms (I think our old place could fit in our living room - 2 beds/2 baths/kitchen/living) with light from every direction. It’s light and bright inside on the gray days and the improvement in our mental health has been AMAZING.
This person who naps in the sun like a cat is very happy for your lizard-self!
Our apartment here in Pittsburgh faced north. And if you know anything about Pittsburgh? We get more rain than Portland. Seriously.
Our house faces north, but that means the back faces SOUTH! We have a giant back yard, and I can grow all sorts of things. And even the front yard gets sun, just no direct light in the windows except for around sunset in the summer. Plus the cats love all the windows, too.
loving the look of the house! so many possibilities!!
also, that surprise room....as a movie and gaming nerd, that room would be used whenever friends visited because we riff movies all the time. it just needs a mini fridge for drinks, a table for both the electric tea kettle and the popcorn machine. (and new chairs...or those giant sofas!)
Oh! Oh! Giant sofas!!!
It always amuses me to hear a kettle called an "electric tea kettle" as if you actually put the tea in it. Please tell me you don't put the tea in the kettle but use a tea pot (or even just the cup).
@@AlexaFaie nope, just water in the kettle. and i say "tea kettle" because some folks think there is a difference. i heat the water up, then pour it into the tea pot or cup, depending on whether i was too lazy to fill a tea bag or not lol
I'm a William Morris fan, so I'll always go for arts and crafts if given the choice.
My nan's got a livingroom wallpapered with the Pink and Poppy pattern, and I own so many Strawberry Thief things. I even painted the front of a chest of drawers in a Morris style for one of my GCSE art projects.
Oh hells bells why didn’t I ever think of strawberry thief wallpaper I’m dying
A&C. Always.
William Morris for LYFE. Seriously I’m dying to get over to England and go to the museum and then just buy it all.
Wow that’s an amazing living room with the giant windows and view!
The treehouse view has brought me so much joy (and peace)...the dogs are also really big fans of this new form of entertainment too...though they don't know what to make of the deer 😂
Mystery History Science Theater 3000 (or 1900 or any other year) would be wonderful. Every time I see a corset "news interview" or minidocumentary, I wonder if Abby can get her dream team back together for commentary...I'd also be interested in whose silhouette shows up...
Noted that the dog appreciates the dog height window in the background of one of your shots. Very important.
So much of this !!!
It would be cool to show old silent movies or candid historical movies on the screen and talk about the details.
When I saw the theatre, my first thought was it’s perfect for your costume drama reviews. As far as decorating, you do you, loved your memory wall, and everyone will have an opinion. That said, the tan is depressing, but that’s my opinion. As far as lighting, the theatre industry has some great LED options that can mimic daylight kelvin temps. Most of all, congratulations, I’m so glad you found such a nice home in this market.
I’d love to see you mix mid century modern with arts and crafts style. My dream interior scheme would be a blend of arts and crafts style and bauhaus, which sort of culminates with Josef Frank wallpaper or Ottoline Devries wallpaper. I would so love to see how you blend all your style inspirations together in your house and I’m really looking forward to following along with your house decorating! 💚
The theatre is amazing. You need to paper it in vintage paper and install pressed tin ceilings and go full on 1920s aesthetic!
I love your Mystery Science Theater 3000 idea. Beautiful home. Glad you were able to find something
As a fellow Lizard I am jealous of those windows. Premium basking territory there.
What a great house! I can't wait to see you make it your own!
Thank you!! I'm really excited to finally be able to enjoy wallpaper - our previous house was all orange peel and I hated it 😂
Congratulations on your new home!! What a cool house. The theater is…extra? 🤣 It’s going to be so much fun seeing what you do with your new space. Enjoy that beautiful view!!
Dog cam!?!
😁
I have watched only a few empty house videos. Yours worked well for me. I imagine you putting something like illusion windows and lots of lights in the room where you plan to film sit-down type videos?
Is your moms room gonna be the balcony room, because i think it would be perfect for that...that house is lovely, and now you have so much wall for more prints and fashion plates!! Cant wait to see what yall turn it into
So happy for you!
The basement stained glass is very Gryffindor.
1933 with Kathrine Hepburn was my favorite version or Little women. Love the house, you must have loads of ideas bouncing round your head. Don't forget to take time just to sit. Moving house is very stressful. Looking forward to your journey, of transforming the house.
So happy for you and your new home! I’m so excited to see how you decorate it. Love how you plan on painting it interesting colors and stepping away from the white grey beige color scheme that literally gives white torture vibes. Giving your house life!
Congrats on the new house! It has so much potential, I hope you guys have fun making it your own!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to bringing the house to life!
Congrats on such a beautiful house; Can’t wait to see you turn it into your home. Linoleum is fantastic and doesn’t get enough love. Craftsman wainscoting with William Morris style wallpaper and mid century modern furniture would be a wonderful base for your eclectic style. And would love to see you do historical movie/show reviews in that theater. Congrats again!
I believe Linoleum is considered "sustainable", if I am remembering correctly ?
@@m.maclellan7147 Yes, it is sustainable because it comes from a rapidly renewable resource, is recyclable and biodegradable, and has a long life span. It can be susceptible to moisture damage, but replacing a section of it is easier than other flooring types.
Doing a mid-century modern spin in the office is a nice way to incorporate your husband's style into a space that he's going to use quite a lot. I think you'll enjoy it, too. With it being a modern farmhouse style house, it lends itself to being as eclectic as you'd like.
I LOVE the linoleum idea. I keep telling people if I buy a place I am replacing any shitting flooring in the place with linoleum throughout - it is versatile product! I get made fun of a lot!!! Great ideas throughout. Best of luck to you both on your decorating journey.
Congratulations! It’s lovely! Great light and for a 90’s house, not too much weirdness. We bought a 90’s house about a year ago after living in older homes for most of our lives. It rocks! The plumbing and electrical all function, the walls are predictably made of plaster with studs. Our last house was plaster and lath, and before that, plaster with horse hair. First best unexpected feature was the internal vacuum system. Enjoy the new airy layout and all the cosmetic changes. I’m a lurker but have been watching you for years…heartfelt congratulations on your success and your new home. :-)
What's an internal vacuum system? Not sure we have those over here (at least I've never heard the phrase before).
I would still prefer a house prior to the 90s since that was when stuff really got a lot more cheaply produced so the houses became boring boxes and you rarely get proper internal walls any more. Older houses both the exterior and interior walls would be brick, but in newer builds the interior walls are sort of fake walls. Just plasterboard separated by wood frames. Not that it will be that hard since older houses are still the majority what with the whole running out of space to build new stuff. Like the house we're currently in would count as quite new since it was built in the 70s. Most the houses in the areas we're likely to move to when we've saved up enough to be able to go from renting to mortgage will be more in the 20s/30s build era, though plenty are earlier than that. Lots of late 1800s and turn of the century properties.
@@AlexaFaie internal vacuum is often called central vacuum. We moved into a 1912 that was gut renovated and has central vac. There are pipes throughout the house that go to a vacuum in the basement. My kitchen and bathroom have little vents in the baseboards where you can sweep the garbage into and it gets sucked up. I don't use it -- a broom and a dustpan work fine for my house since we don't have carpet.
It's so cool you have a home theater in your home! My father designs and builds home theaters for a living. They're not cheap let me tell ya. ^_^ Loved your house tour, can't wait to see how it looks once you get settled in completely.
This is so exciting!!! That living room is absolutely stunning, I love huge windows and that view is just *chef's kiss*. Love the decking too. I'm so looking forward to seeing how you decorate each room, it's gonna be so fun.
OMG! Please do Mystery Science Theatre videos but with costume dramas!
It's so big and empty! Omg so nice! I've been living in the same house for over 30 years and it's so cluttered and tired looking lol. Have fun making the blank slate your own beautiful home.
I am envious, in the U.K. modern houses are small, and getting smaller, and outdoor space is minimal, off road parking is considered more important than a reasonably sized garden. We moved from a village in to town, as it meant, surprisingly, we got a more spacious house and a much bigger garden for our budget! I was thrilled to get a note from the people who bought our cottage, saying thank you for leaving the house so clean and as I had two young boys at the time, I think they were impressed. I can’t wait to see what you do with your new home and I wish you and yours much happiness there!
Congrats on finally getting into your new home! You'll have a ball setting things up the way you & hubby want. Love the movie room! Can't wait for the costuming videos you'll post from your new digs! Take it slow and everything will be gorgeous!
As for being the new mistress of this newly vacant residence of a grand magnitude, you have proved yourself worthy of its charge and the generosity of your spirit shall always illuminate and inspire our minds.
It is neat to see how much our homes can inspire us and affect how we live our lives. The future interview video ideas in “the theater” sounds very interesting. Knowing how well you put together your video essays, I think you will make some great content with that premise.
When I grow up I want to be able to afford a beautiful house like this! (**is older than you**) I'm sure whatever you do with it will be gorgeous -- it looks like a blank slate :)
we had a 1740s home with all the classic woodwork AND my mcm furniture and modern art looked totally baller in it - you could do both styles 😸
Arts & Crafts has my vote for your beautiful office space. Congrats on the new house! I’m moving into my new place today so I relate to all the excitement and stress 💕
If you could make that great room look like a grand Victorian conservatory that could be cool.
A mid century couple that loves modern furniture buying a Grand victorian home is the vibe that comes to mind
Abby, I haven't watched this video yet, I will as soon as I am finished with this comment. I am literally still sobbing after watching your video from two years ago, Everyone Sucks at Sewing. I have sewn for most of my life. Not consistently, not always with support, not always well. But, it is an abiding part of my life. I have never, ever been happy with the products of my labor, ever. But after listening to your "rant", I can finally say, I am a sewist and am good at many things! There! Thank you, thank you, thank you. All of the feeling of inadequacy, self deprecation and despair at not achieving perfection have begun to fade. Of course I will still strive to do my utmost best, but now know that I am not alone. You, my dear one, are a wonder! Blessings on you. Now I get to watch about your new home!
For the most part, I'd say there is no such thing as too much space; I am definitely not a tiny house person. Fortunately for me I trained myself not to fill up space with stuff just because the space was there. Your new house looks lovely and spacious, and your view is great.
I don't have a gravity-fed iron yet, but years ago I got fed up with the iron cord dragging my fabric while I pressed. I solved that problem on the dirt cheap by using two decorative ceiling hooks mounted to a joist, with a soft, slippery rayon rope tied between them. The rope had easily adjustable loops at each end (no, not nooses, but I was tempted). I formed a loop over the rope at the outlet end of a fairly long extension cord, then another loop in the cord over the rope about half a metre along. The iron was plugged into the cord and the cord was, of course, plugged into the wall outlet. Every time I had to iron the loops simply slid along the rope, usually with a bit of help from me but that was no big deal.
This would also work for a gravity-fed iron, if you're about to experience budget shock from the house purchase and everything else you need to do, and find an electrician's bill that one expense too much. The only concern is to make sure the extension cord is of sufficient amperage to handle your iron.
Congratulations on your new dwelling! A new house and a new chapter in your creative journey!
Thank you for taking us along :)
DIT ............. TO!
the stained glass window reminds me of gryffindor color wise. I like theater rooms, but at home some comfy chairs might be nicer, but hey cute! Happy to see you! Zenhugs!
Let’s start with saying congrats! Your new house looks lovely, truly. That said, I’m Italian, and in Italy just super-uber-mega rich people can afford houses that big, but I see from films that in the US it’s different, and it happens that average people can actually afford huge houses. That is to say that this hole concept of a huge house is very foreign to me, so my main question is: how do you clean it??? You need like a team of people! Because even if you have a maid or someone that come to clean your house, one person is definitely not enough! Because even if you don’t use a room a lot it’s bound to get dusty! I have this question for literally years, since I started living by myself, and I hated cleaning my tiny studio apartment, I always wondered how do they do in the US with the huge houses?
Most Americans can't afford houses this big.
Home sizes vary drastically in the US, so many people do not live in a home that is anywhere near this large. However, it's not necessarily as hard to keep clean as you imagine. It also depends on whether or not you have pets and/or kids as they can add a lot of chaos and dirt.
When I was in high school, my family lived in a 3000 sq. ft. house for a few years, and my mom and I easily cleaned it every weekend in less than an hour. Not all rooms are equally used, so not all rooms take equally long to clean. Dusting an unused guest bedroom, for example, only takes a minute. If you already have the vacuum cleaner out, vacuuming the carpet in another room doesn't add much time. Dusting is quick if you don't put lots of knick knacks on every surface. Etc.
Yeah. The average American can’t even afford to own a home at all, let alone something this big. That’s why we have an unconscionably large homeless population in the United States and children living with their parents into their 30s and beyond. However popular media would like you to believe that anyone could afford a place like this, which is probably where you get that idea from.
American History Lesson: This house looks like a remnant of the 2000’s house bubble. When Americans were given massive predatory loans which they used to build McMasions like this. Then during the 2008 crash the banks foreclosed on millions of Americans, kicking them out of their homes and on to the streets and leaving all these enormous homes empty since no normal person could afford to live in them. My guess is that some investor probably bought it cheap after the crash, so they could flip it (aka sell it to another investor) which is why the interior design is so devoid of character or personality.
As for your cleaning question… people who own houses this big hire other people to clean their house.
I’m in no way trying to attack Abby personally here. She makes good money on UA-cam and she works hard, but she is not the average American.
Ikr? By German standards, that's not a house, it's a villa. You would have to be very, very wealthy, to afford something like this. And then the costs for maintenance and heating and electricity and all that.
I seriously thought, you needed like a Million+ subscribers, to make that kind of money.
Id like to point out it also depends on where you live. No idea how much they poaid for this home but where i live that house would cost millions but i live in a very expensive state. They live somewhere where it would cost much less. Either way most of us cant afford even a much smaller house much less one like hers. Very happy for her tho, just not something most people can afford
I'm weirdly excited you bought a house in Bloomington! We're in the process of building a house in Noblesville (almost finished!), currently live in Westfield, about 40-50) mins north of Indy (depending on traffic). The housing market just about ate us up, I definitely feel you there!
Look forward to seeing what you do with the place. Although the unpacking chaos during the sponsorship break was very relatable.
What a terrific house! I LURVE the theater room. I'd put up old movie posters and make it like a glam old-Hollywood space.
Holy... I'm a pro interior designer and architect, and I'd killllll to be able to work on properties like this. Presoviet everything was dark tight (for poor,like my family)or overwhelmingly gilded and decorated (for those that sold out to russkies),now everything is all glass, cold,statuario marble(look-alikes). This...this is great. This already feels like a home, most of the properties I start work on could very well be made to imitate showroom or a store. This place has an AMAZING POTENTIAL,and with Your (and Nicole,and Crissy's) taste I'm sure it will be a masterpiece. Don't hesitate to contact a good interior designer when struggling, it'll still be "your"home but an experienced expert can save you a lot of headache on technical stuff and will help with details when you feel overwhelmed. That kitchen with a butcher's block countertops, updated hardware (reproduction,maybe?),handpainted tile backsplash...Though, to be honest it looks like builder grade kitchen and if you can,splurge for new one, better planned, with painted or not, but solid wood fronts and hidden appliances (exept for maybe contrast colour La Cornue stove? 🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️). Lowering the bar area and raising the doorways ( as currently, its the darkest space and as Abby said,dark spaces make you sad - science says do,even!) would not only let in more light and allow an eating-chatting nook to be added adjacently. Mixing styles is also something some of decorators specjalise in and it will save you a shit-ton of guesswork and arguments. It's a beautiful home,Abby, but not as beautil as your soul,heart,and humour. I hope with so much space your adopted (or even foster) dog family will grow too, isn't there a sound more beautiful than dwo dozen paws rushing to greet you?😍😍😍 With these cleaning robots that can even mop ( at leeast they promise to), "most" of the mess will take care of itself 😉 Just bring fabric swatches home to assure they arent supermagnets for underfuf,like my beautiful merlot corduroy wingback chair was.... I'm so,so happy for ya'll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an awesome domicile. I especially love the doggo 🐶📹cam. Best wishes in your new home 🏡
Defiantly all for the Mystery Science Theater 3000 idea! Especially since you have the built in set up 👍🏽
That carpet in the theater is like the cherry on top of that room. I swear to gods that was the official carpet of movie theater's everywhere when I was growing up. I about died when I saw it.
Yay for the Mystery Science Theater clip 🤪
I love your new space and look forward to seeing it evolve. Gotta love a blank slate.
Mid century modern lines/furniture + pops of arts and crafts patterns and textures. Eclectic and cozy. 👌
I love the new house and your vision for it! From a purely practical standpoint, I am thrilled that your new house has basement. My time living in Bloomington and in the Ohio River Valley, means that you’re going to get a ton of tornadoes. Maybe not compared to Tornado Alley, or even Dixie Alley. But enough that you would want to have a place where you can all comfortably be safe when the sirens go off. I was surprised by the number of storms that dipped in flowed through the Ohio River Valley, and a few of my apartments did not have a safe place to be. So I am happy that you guys will have that safer option.
I love, love, love, LOVE the idea of you doing something with costume dramas in that movie theater space!!
Your house is wonderful! I now live in France and I love seeing American homes. So glad you are settling into your new home!
Don't change a thing about that movie theater. I'm a old house lover, but that room would have sold me on that new build.
Congrats on your new place!! A word of warning about living amongst the trees, though: you might have more pests. I had an apartment once that had problems with mice, flies, and several other bugs. The main cause was our negligent landlord, but the secondary cause was being right up against the tree line.
So exciting! A new house, new decorating adventures, new kinds of content! Yes, please! And a big hell yeah to costuming MST3K! 😁
I absolutely love home reno and moving videos, can't wait to see what you make of this space!
I forgot how big the homes in some parts of the US are. I do like the idea of William Morris patterns. Heh. We've all lived in closets. Here's hoping we all get enough space to thrive.
OMG. Historical costuming drama with you, Nicole, Chrissy and others would just be so excellent.
You would have loved my mother! We moved 3 times during my childhood, each time she would spend a week cleaning the old house after everything was moved out (floors, walls, cabinets - everything 😬) and then spend another week at the new house cleaning before the furniture was brought in. She was a nurse - so everything was a sterile environment after she finished cleaning!
Love your spacious house with all your plans, hurray! I have a friend with a movie theatre room and a billiard room. She has sons and an HB who love it. I doubt she ever used it. We love the garden most, the delicious light forest garden
I'd say to go with MCM for the office. It'll blend into other styles in the house well, but it won't be a super harsh contrast against the computers, modern desk chairs, etc.
Congratulations! Hope you have fun choosing your decor! As for the kitchen, I'll wait for Chrissy's review iffen you don't mind.
but daaannnnggg! that counter top space made me mouthwater! js.... but her buds, we know, will christen it fun, smart, and well .... not the best adjectives for what they do, but you know!!! they'll throw it down!!
Hello! I hope you had a fabulous day. I had a fun day in my sewing room and now I get to watch your video while I hand quilt. I hope you have a peaceful week ahead. Thank you for sharing this video and for your talent.
You might get inspired by checking out Scandinavian Art Nouveau.
And in Mid Century, interiors with more hygge and less modern.
Morris all the way! And not just because they did a STUNNING design that happens to share my last name, but it's just so rich, inviting, and intoxicatingly luxurious!
I woke up in a terrible mood this morning, and your video was the thing that cheered me up! Thanks Abby 😊
Ah! The home theatre. A beloved luxury of the early 2000s. My father wanted one so bad in 05/06. I believe one of his coworkers had one in their home. Twas a dad favorite.
OMG that movie theatre!! Have fun with getting the lighting sorted for your workspace :)
The carpet really should go to a design museum...it's perfection.

Your “theater room” reminds me of a room we had in a house I rented one time. We called the “Disco Room” it was a 80’s style “romp room” with wood paneling, shag carpet, amazing built ins , with a DISCO BALL and MULTICOLORED BULBS in every can light and spotlight in the ceiling. We never changed the lights or took the disco ball down… And this was in the early 2000’s.
Huge vote for William Morris style decorating, I fell in love with the style a few years ago and would love to see more of it in the modern times
Love all the windows! I look forward to seeing home decorating videos because it’s fun to see how everyone can interpret their space. Congrats on the house!
One of the main things I looked for in our rental at the beginning of the year was plenty of natural light. I love how much light you have!
Congrats on the house and moving in. Do the arts & crafts in the basement space - make it all warm and cozy. 1920's movie theatre springs to mind!
That view is fantastic! LOVE the living room windows! Looking forward to seeing you put your own stamp on it.
Arts & Crafts all the way! I love that you have so much space to separate work from the rest of your life. Can't wait to see vids of you decorating and settling in. Morgan and Rachel's videos on that have been very fun!
What a beautiful new home with lots of room and opportunities to make it yours. Am sure you’ll be very happy there and can’t wait to see more of the changes along the way. Remember, there’s always a fresh can of paint at the store if it doesn’t work out. Love the woods and windows. Enjoy the journey. Have fun! 🙂
I am HERE FOR HOUSE RENO. I love it when UA-camrs that I watch post reno videos. I LOVE IT. Your house is beautiful!
I love houses. Like obsessed. So I appreciated you giving a house tour of your new space and telling us your plans for use and decorating. Thank you!
Congratulations on the house! You're going to make it into the most glorious place whatever direction you decide to go. Can't wait to see it.
I would love to see you and the other Time Travelers do reviews and interviews in that little theater! Fun, fun, fun.!
Have you guys watched "Miss Potter" the story about Beatrix Potter? I found it on free (with ads) UA-cam. I would love to hear what you guys have to say about the costumes, hair and makeup, etc., etc., etc.
May your new home be filled with happiness, peace, joy, and love.
The theater is epic Abby. The lighting and high ceilings in the living room, the kitchen (that you skipped), the stained glass, the heated floors, the view of the trees, the separation of work and life ... s.w.o.o.n. ... also, my master bedroom has green walls and no regrets amen? Can't wait to see what you do. Yay.
New goal unlocked: learn to sew and become Abby's friend so I can come see the house one day. 🤔😐 #joking #andalsomaybenotheh
Gosh, a home this size where i live in the U.K. would cost at least a million pounds. I would LOVE a walk in wardrobe, and I like the roof shape in your master bedroom. It gives it character. I’d be decorating it in Cole and Sons/Morris and Co/Saundersons wallpaper , with panelling on the bottom. Oh and have a wall with a mural of flowers. Your living room is gorgeous, and the view into the woods is lovely, let’s hope there’s no Sasquatch in the area! I think your dogs like it too. We bought our home four years ago, and have had to renovate every room. We’re nearly there, just hall, stairs, landing, cloakroom, and garage left. Never again!! I’m looking forward to seeing how you decorate, and how this home feels and becomes more yours. Congratulations, and hoping you have many many happy years in your new home 💖❤️💖
Same in BC. It would be in the 1.5 million range.
Girl renovation and decorating is still right up my alley. As much as we can see you, I’m sure we will be happy with everything you give us. I’m here for your quirky personality even more than historical costuming.
At 12:45, mystery sewing theater 3000 🎭 , ABSOLUTELY YES!!!
My house is a riot of colors! My kitchen is yellow (with dark brown cabinets, works well actually), living room is a muted gold with a accent wall, bathroom is blue and black, study has an orange accent wall, hallway is red and orange....just color all over
I definitely had flashbacks to my parents’ circa 1996 addition and bathroom remodel during the bathroom tour.
Also HELL YEAH for the Little Women room!
Wow, ok I really need to stop commenting before the video is over. You should ABSOLUTELY MST3K a period drama.
William Morris/Arts and Crafts. And I totally like the Medieval vibe wannabe light fixture in the dining room. Put a dining table under it, and it's not too low. When I finally get around to redoing my tiny 780 sq/ft home, I'm going to forego any "living" room, because who sits on couches anyway, and dedicate that space to a huge, friendly, inviting dining table with office chair and bench seating. And! Medieval feast hall light fixture! So happy you found a house that works for you, and you're out of other people's houses.
