    Laini I love your taste and deep appreciation of this house’s character! You’re such a good role model for the tik tok house reno craziness. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. It’s giving such Paige Wassel vibes already… might be cool to collaborate with her on one of these rooms if you need any inspo 👀 or I’m just saying that cuz it’s my dream UA-cam duo aha.

    I randomly stumbled across your home tour and really enjoyed seeing how much you loved the original charm of your house. Our house is a little “newer”, from 1975 and also has vaulted ceilings, wooden moulding and doors, and some other unique touches we’ve fallen in love with. It’s fun adding your own style and modernizing while still honouring the original spirit of the house, working with it and being inspired by it instead of turning it into some bland grey box like you talked about. Kinda excited to see what you do with it!

    It always takes a younger generation to appreciate and save the architecture of an older generation. We live in a 1949 mid century cottage of a home right on a river in N. IL. WE HAVE A 9 ft long swooping couch and two chairs, different but matching as a 3 piece set from 1965 JC Penny’s. Kermit the frog green. Keep that refrigerator forever, they are not made like yours any longer. It’s a Cadillac. I grew up with pocket doors everywhere. The one between the kitchen and dining room in my boyhood home still has the markings on the edge recording our heights over the years. Myself and two other brothers. I met the lady that bought that home from my parents in the late 80’s. She said that she’s never going to remove our growth records from that door edge. Cute house you purchased! New sub!

    My grandparents' home had that same mirrored tile on either side of the front door in their living room. They had a traditional 1950's cape cod style home in NW Indiana. Thank you for unlocking that core memory for me. They were a huge part of my childhood and I miss them both so much.

      our house had them too but we took them out in the mid to late 2000's. the house i grew up in, was a multigenerational home and my grandparents were the first ones to move in sometime between 1970-1973. we've all moved out now, the last one was my grandma in 2015. shes renovating it now.
      my aunt JUST moved into a house thats mid century and they also have these tiles lol. we all live in southern california

    2:20 - as someone with a history degree who adores historical architecture and design, THANK YOU for not painting over that gorgeous (and imo cozy) wood. 😭😭 It breaks my heart when people renovate old details like that that could be preserved. And hell yeah re: having rooms! Separation of space is way underrated. It’s always nice to see people online who have an appreciation for these older details. And I love how Ernie has clearly already made himself at home, haha. This house is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so happy for you and your family! Hope you all also have a good recovery - COVID is no joke!

Also, I don’t blame you for being scared to go into the basement, I once was hired to clean someone’s house before they moved in, the setup was similar and when I tell you I have never cleaned so fast in all my life😂 I wanted to cry but yeah. Fuck creepy basements. Can’t wait for future Reno videos!

    My first house was built in 1961. We bought it used. It had the same entry! Well, it was the 70s, so we hung beads where they have the wood dividers. The hardwood was oak, and waxed. Every once in awhile I waxed and polished the high traffic areas. I like that more than polyurethane. I looove the chairs and table. Wow. They still look contemporary.

    I’m so glad you guys got through the “c-word” ok! 😰❤ Congratulations on your amazing new home, and thanks for sharing it with us!! 😍❤️ My husband and I bought our home from original owners as well and will always be keeping our built-in + natural wood features in-tact too! 👌
    Ours was built around the same time as yours (1960)- the kitchen also has a pocket door and the main bathroom has tile + built-in soap/toothbrush holders! 😄
    Our shower was also changed to one with a glass door- one tip I have for the shower is to get a squeegee and use it on the glass after every shower. It will keep the glass spotless and make it so you rarely have to clean it! 👍👍
    Also, if that wood paneling is solid wood and you just don’t like the color, you could always sand it and re-stain it! 😊

People don’t realize what open concept houses if someone’s banging around the kitchen area and your time to watch a movie in the living room and you have open concept, it’s really annoying!
    Other than the flooring and moving some appliances around, it doesn’t look like you have to do much else. Anyway, great house and good luck!
