  • OUR VICTORIAN TERRACED HOUSE: Rooms we haven't shared before// Hello, We have received so many questions from you that you would love to see more of our house. So here it is: We are sharing some rooms that you haven't seen before and our next project. We love our Victorian terraced house as it's the perfect size for us. Hope you like it. Have a lovely weekend. Kirsten & Joerg x
    ONE MORE THING: People keep asking about wanting to see our house from outside and more (the exact location, whether the house is end or mid terrace, where we park the car etc.): It's all well but please also understand that we still want to be private people and we think we share a fair amount of our life on the web as it is but not all. Hope you understand and respect our privacy as well. Thanks!

    I had to stop midway thru or so just to say...”The way Joerg looks at you makes my heart fill with love.”
    The way you each look st one another, Kirsten... is sweeter than can be described.
    Long live and love, the two of you...
    That’s my prayer.

    Your home is beautiful! My husband and I live in an old German farmhouse, and believe me it’s a work in progress! There’s so much needing done and to be quite honest we haven’t changed very much as I call it a quirky house. You can open a doorway and inside you’ll find three more doors, however we’re hoping to sell our home this year and in Germany people who buy are really only interested in heating, windows and a safe and watertight roof. When homes are sold in the UK, they are presented to buyers, it’s not like that here, considering most people take their kitchens with them and all you see are four bare walls. Anyway, I just love watching your videos, enjoy your beautiful home, from the Wee Scot in Germany 😊

    Here is the Midwest USA, we call those windows in the ceiling "skylight" windows. One of the problems with skylights are that sometimes the seal gets old and they leak when it rains hard. If you have a tiny room next to a bedroom, they could be called a "dressing room" or "walk-in closet." All your clothing gets stored in the walk-in room in cupboards or hang from closet rods. My aunt lived in an older home that had a dressing room leading off her master bedroom and the on-suite opened into the dressing room. There was a separate on-suite for their boys next to their on-suite, but they were not connected (except for the plumbing inside the walls.) Do you have a cellar or what we call a basement under your ground floor for storage?

    Both you&the previous owners of the house have done a perfect job! Let's be honest,- typical Vistorian houses for middle class have often been too cold&dark for modern taste. Victorians often used dark-green, dark-brown and dark-red colors for decorating, partly due to 19-century fashion, and also because particals of soot&ash, which were the result of burning the coal in their fireplaces, were quickly covering all surfaces; even with intense everyday cleaning light walls&furniture would have no chance to keep their color. I think, that extra windows, installed by previous owners, and beautiful pastel colors, which you have chosen so wisely, make this house look both pretty & "moderatly modern", but at the same time increase it's old-fashion charm.

    Originally when those kind of houses were built, all the children would have slept in o ne room and the very tiny ‘bedroom’ was known as a box room and used mainly for storage. It was only a few decades ago that people started referring to them as bedrooms estate agents could then sell what was really a two bedroomed house as a ‘three’ bedroomed house.

    Dear Kirsten and Joerg,
    Just viewed this video which you made three years ago. Many thanks for your generosity in letting viewers into your home. It was also interesting to compare it with the current changes you have made. Just lovely.

    I am renovating my 1800s victorian cottage in Connecticut. Your videos are fortification for my soul . It has been grey for two weeks and my motivation for indoor tasks has waned . I am drawing inspiration from your patience with the process of creating your domicile. It is getting me to press forward with the heat gun and stripper and get back on task with my vision in spite of budget constraints.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful discoveries around England, the UK and even Germany. I enjoy old british houses so much and unfortunately haven't been able to travel any more for several years now, so I travel in your wake and like it very much. I also enjoy your smooth and very respectful speech and attitude. Watching your videos is almost like a meditation for me. I'll watch you at night, before bed time and I can dream on in my sleep. Thank you Kirsten and Jörg

    Most of the novels I read take place in the UK and very often the characters in the novels live in a terrace house thus making me curious to see the interior of such houses. My wish came true as I followed you on the wonderful tour of your amazing terrace house. It's like a little piece of Paradise as far as I'm concerned. I love your taste in decorating. I'm so happy to have found your channel and I look at it every day because I have a lot of catching up to do. Your walks inspire me to go for nature walks and I have started to do that just around the neighborhood thus discovering my surroundings. I love when you and your husband cook and bake. I find it so relaxing. I am a very anxious person and I find that I am so much more relaxed since I have started watching your channel. Take care. Sending much love to you and your husband.

    Your elegant yet welcoming home is so like you dressed to the tee yet friendly and warm. We here in the states love house tours especially homes of character. When I lived in Maryland I always looked forward to Spring when the Plantation Homes in Virginia allowed tours. Especially the larger ones along the Potomac. Thank you for opening your lovely home to us and making us feel most welcome. Every video is a treat ❤

    • @KirstenJoerg

I’m looking forward to seeing the dining room once you’re all done. Your utility room with bathroom is very handy. LOVE your upstairs bathroom...those beams!!! Thank you for opening your home to us all ...I’m sure we all appreciate it and enjoyed it. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!

    Hi guy’s hope your both ok , the area outside the upstairs bathroom is called the landing , so we call it in Britain. We are now on our narrow boat at long last and so far enjoying it , a little bit windy today so there is a bit of movement on the boat , stay safe 😘

    I like that the dishwasher in your utility room preserves the older fashioned look of your kitchen.
    I’m a Scottish great grandmother living in Australia so I always enjoyed the areas where there were the oldest terrace homes in Sydney near The Rocks and in Paddington. They reminded me of the areas where my grandparents lived in Scotland.
