Just here to say y’all are my favorite UA-camrs. Thank you for being yourselves.
My mind is OFFICIALLY blown. Someone loved this home for a really long time.
Love this channel!! You do a GREAT job hosting. Very professional channel and your restoration work is stellar! Congratulations on all the success. Don't let negative folks drag you down. The truth always comes to light.
Just want to add a comment of support! You have a lot of people in your corner!
Agree… you guys are great.
Beautiful!!! As for the other episode... My husband & I watched w/a heavy heart. We're proud of you for carrying on w/business as usual, buying your forever home & dealing w/that matter w/profesionalism & class. You 2 really are a force. As we watched & talked about it, it almost looks as though all this was premeditated. I kept thinking of something my dad & older brother once told me. (They were both cops/detectives.) They said 'bad guys' have an innate ability to pick out victims. Robberies, carjacking, murder, SA , whatever their particular forte is they can spot the target from a mile away. I feel like you 2 were targeted, bamboozled & taken advantage of to the highest degree. You are a kind couple, ethically minded, helpful & sweet people. They recognized that & tried to pull a fast one on you but unfortunately for them, they weren't smart enough to understand resale value. OR the motive was just to seek, kill & destroy. Maybe they've watched you for a long time & were jealous? (Of ambition, drive or relationship?) Or secretly obsessed & when they didn't get the kind of relationship they wanted they went into motion. Maybe you dismissed a comment, email or DM? People are crazy. I wonder if there is a way to prove their motivations were more sinister than just being jilted over a kitchen? Sounds darker than that to me. Glad you guys are well. You have TONS of support! We're your youtube family!!!💞
Well said and insightful
I think most of us agree with that.
Some people are just plain evil
I absolutely love your knowledge on vintage architecture! You guys have done such an amazing job on all of the houses you have purchased to save from destruction, your restoration work is outstanding! I love your channel’s content and I get so many great ideas for decorating my own home! Keep your videos coming! 🎉❤🎉
I like how they point out all the 'detail' in the woodwork. You just don't see that today; unless it is specifically ordered.
This house is gorgeous. Thank you for showing this beauty. I have learned so much from your videos. I really admire the way you teach and explain, whether you’re showing us a house or restoring one. I have always appreciated how transparent you have been in explaining your process. I love this channel and I feel like we are friends who just haven’t met in person yet.🌸
THANK YOU, We would never get to see these Beautiful Homes without you!!! We appreciate all you do your hard work and attention to presevering these homes.
This is a terrific house!! The amount of time and money saved with the unpainted original woodwork will allow a new owner to focus on creating their dream kitchen. I'm a firm believer in using the original floor plan of a historic house whenever possible. As you say, the use of the room can change, often quite easily, . I just cringe when I see tours of San Francisco Victorian townhouses where the interior is completely gutted, and converted to an open plan with slick, modern finishes. I'm amazed that even the mirrors above the fireplaces appear to be in perfect condition. The style and layout is excellent, and that tower room? Lovely! This is deceptively large home, and the fact the bedrooms are on the ground floor can make such a difference as people get older. I too am intrigued with the Mallard 'duck egg' details. I don't think I've seen anything like it on a mantel. Nice to see you doing what you do best! Hang in there, your peeps know who you are.
That house 🏠 is an optical illusion, small on the outside large on the inside.😯
You are good people! Your work is stellar and your knowledge is astounding. Sometimes people are jealous of what they will never be and never do. We know who you are and appreciate what you represent which is integrity, honesty and for being as good as your word. Honesty is never convenient for dishonest people.
Well said 👍😊
This is my dream home. The fact that it's so intact is so heartwarming. And long-live multi-specied wood fittings and furniture. Tiger oak is really the most!
That house was well taken care of. Love old houses.
This house is beyond beautiful!!!!! Also i just want to say nobody believes the crap some idiots spout!!!! We believe in you both your AMAZING ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Totally agree !
What a beautiful house! I adore this channel, and the lovely couple who have created it. Please know that, even in the darkest times, your beautiful inner light shines through, and we all see it.
Wow, thank you!
Restoration Nation-You are the perfect host in showing these marvelous homes. Every detail you give is very well described…hats off to you. You’re the Pro! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this treasure, it's woodwork is absolutely stunning. Love the beauty you bring to the world, you're a kind, caring couple 🫶🏼
It's beautiful and affordable! Oh, I wish it was here in Texas, I'd grab this little treasure of a house. The woodwork, the original finishes, the charm and the pocket doors are there. I can't believe that no one has gone in and destroyed them. You're not accepting messages, but I'm very sorry that someone is libeling you. People like that make a snap decision and when they have doubts - or money problems - they get upset and turn around and take it out on everyone around them. I've been in your shoes and it hurts and it's infuriatingly unfair. I truly believe that all of their 'fault finding' was nothing more than lashing out at you over their own personal issues. Hang in there. There are thousands and thousands of people like me who see this for what it is and have the utmost respect for you.
Laine, you have presented this home with such grace and dignity and incredible knowledge.,You must have studied for years and years. There’s nothing you can’t explain about these beautiful old homes from the kinds of wood,tile , time periods etc . I could go on and on. You’re just amazing . I love that this incredible home is so spacious AND all on the same me floor!!
A very beautiful Victorian. I am not usually a jealous person.- But I am jealous of anyone who has the privilege to own this house.
Gorgeous interior and so unassumingly so from the outside!
Amazing house, those fireplaces are stunning! Also love your lavender purple dress, so pretty
wow I would snap this up if it was where I live!
The house is so deceiving from the outside! It doesn't look that big from the outside. Beautiful details!
Thank you, Miss Charlotte, for this personal tour of your home
Amazing that a house so old has been cherished and kept as it was originally built. That it is a single floor makes it optimal for aging in place.
You look lovely in that dress, Laine!
The house is a beauty too. I love that front entryway and parlor. ❤️
Dang! What a gem! Love that entry fixture and so much more....
Love this house and I am fascinated by all the original woodwork and fixtures. So amazing.
Love this home especially the entry. ❤. Thank you for taking the time to show it. You are so knowledgeable love learning from you.
I'm always so afraid when I see beautiful architecture like this. Not because of the history of the house, the supposed "hauntings", or worrying I might break something: It's the fear that some "flipster" will buy this house up, gut all of its originality and beauty, replace the original windows and fixtures with "modern" vinyl, pressboard garbage. I always worry that beauties like these will wind up going to people who will ruin it. All I think of is what the Deetz's did to the Maitland manor in "Beetlejuice" lol
That intro music makes you want to grab a glass of sweet tea, find two sturdy rocking chairs, and join Miss Daisy on that circular porch to enjoy a nice conversation and a wonderful summer breeze that is saturating that awesome porch. Talk about a true house masterpiece! That's exactly what the Polk house is, simply gorgeous and exquisite throughout. What a fabulous double door vestibule with that "sit down and rest your sore feet" bench built inside it. All of those fireplace mantels are stunning, and so are the front doors of the house, the ornate windows, and those pocket doors. When you finally get a chance to see woodwork that's never ever been painted, you really grasp and appreciate the true beauty and value of it as they relate to the aesthetics of a home and its architecture. Laine, please know that your videos are beyond videos. They are educational webinars, that always contain your and Kevin's exceptional historic architectural, restoration/preservation and interior design expertise; and, your multifaceted general experience....all of which is always fascinating, enlightening, truthful and factual and so very needed and greatly appreciated. A person who is learning videography can also learn from Kevin's expertise, as all of his videos are flawless. You just don't know how much I value your and Kevin's knowledge and guidance, and I'm sure so do countless other subscribers of your channel. As for those modern designers that you mentioned, the word modern says all that we need to know. I thank you and Kevin for all that you do and for your unwavering integrity, graciousness, and kindness! GOD bless!
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments!!
@@OurRestorationNation You are very welcome! Always remember, TRUTH will always win!
Laine, we love your content. Thank you so much.
Such a beautiful, enchanting and charming old house. Stunning woodwork and carvings. I love the tower room. Thank you for showcasing this gem.
What a lovely diamond!! (That's both you and the house!! 🥰) Thanks for the tour....absolutely a stunner!!!
An Absolutely Stunning home. The woodwork is Magnificent💜💜
I miss you 🥰 when I don’t see you post on utube I really enjoy all of your videos and I know you have a good heart ❤️ I am praying 🙏 for you and all your legal situation I know god will find in your favor you have integrity and your honest and trustworthy and thank you very much for showing this beautiful home ❤😂😊❤️👍👼😇🥰🎃✝️✡️🇺🇸🥇🧚🏻♂️
My house was a RENTAL not far from there and has its OG UNpainted woodwork, OG stained glass, OG 36“ x83“ back door, OG fuse box, OG one story turret room, OG baseboard, OG dining columns around its wide wood arch, OG pocket doors, OG clapboard siding and beadboard, and OG wood floors!
Unbelievably cool to have survived.
Might be one of my favorites! Thanks for drawing our attention to it :)
GOOD MORNING - Oh, my, YES !!! When fine wood is done right, it out does the nonsense we see today. Yes, I also fell in love with this place. What a marvel. Wish I were a rich lady.
Thank you for your hard work, and time. I enjoy the history you bring. Be safe you two.
Love this house with such great oak woodwork. Pocket doors are marvelous !!!
I love the room when you first walk in. I would do a beautiful Christmas tree in that rounded window area. So pretty.
You two do a wonderful job at these videos. I'm sorry you're going through the issue you talked about in the special video. It is always jarring when ordinary people come in close proximity to, the easy word would be evil, but most of us are reluctant to say the word, even though sometimes that's exactly what it is, in it's many forms.
I ALMOST WANT TO MOVE FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR ALL THE GORGEOUS HOMES YOU SHARE! ;O)
Another lovely lady of Little Rock!! Thank you so much. What gorgeous woodwork!! Wow!! 👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍
I was intrigued when I saw the featured house was named Polk. Imagine the pleasant surprise at the end when you revealed that you and the house both are President Polk related! I'm also related to President Polk on my maternal grandfather's side. He was a Polk, too. Hello, cousin! I love the houses you feature and rehab. You are doing important work.
Oh my goodness I love it!!! Welcome cousin!
How 🧡ly this house is designed. 🧡 the kitchen and your ideas for the room in making it the main bedroom and turning the adjoining room into the bathroom. I appreciate you & Kevin, Laine. Thank you both for the desire to care for what God has given us.🧡
Oh my goodness, this house is like a TARDIS! (Fans of the UK series, Dr Who will understand the reference.) ☺️ It appears relatively modest and unpretentious from the outside, but open the front door and spectacular room after gorgeous lofty and beautifully panelled room is revealed. I absolutely ADORE it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us through your wonderful presentation. 🤗🧡
I attended Our Lady Star of The Sea school in Long Branch NJ
Grades K-4 were in a building and the inside was so so similar to this home with wood it brought back memories.
Grades 5-8 were in a modern addition to the school. A 60’s looking classroom.
I LOVE ALL ORIGINAL WOODWORK!! I would love to move this house to my property!!
Thank you have enjoyed all the tours and restorations. It has been a fun but educational journey.
Don't change! Love the way you are .
If this was in my town I would buy it for the billiard room alone! So Biltmore!
Great house, great channel.
Such stunning woodwork! Thank you for sharing!
So happy I found this channel. I feel like it was made for me! Thank you. :)
Absolutely love this house and we'll done on whomever made all the woodwork gleam..amazing!😊
I wish these houses were where I live beautiful. Your presentation of these homes is outstanding.
Thank you so much for continuing to show us beautiful houses! You are by far my favorite channel and I learn something new every time! Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing!! ❤❤❤
I have a 1910 Victorian cottage. The fireplace with the multicolored green tile is in my home with oak mantel. Home was built by a doctor.
I love this for one person! I would use one of the bedrooms as a dressing room/closet. I looked it up on Zillow. It sold for just under $300,000. What a bargain that new owner got!
Excellent tour and look at this lovely home! Thank you! 🌿💙🩷
Big beautiful kitchen and big beautiful master suite, and you’ve got luxury living 🔥
Remaining loyal. Love your videos
Separate from the stunning house, your dress is gorgeous.
Woowsa! Love this this house & the orig details! Quickly googling its location & listing, thx for sharing Guys! Cheers Kirk
Oh wow ! Maybe the best one yet !! Hopefully your knowledge and suggestions will attract the right buyers. I always worry about someone changing all the historic details when I see these treasures for sale. Great job.
It's my goal to one day own a Lane Berry house. Lol when I don't have crazy kids, and huge dogs running around.
What a beautiful house! I'm with you-- I don't need a large bedroom. I much prefer spacious living areas. My house also has a not-a-foundation-issue slant where a porch became another room. Older homes have such great quirks-- so much personality!
Love this house!
You are both wonderful people! Pure inspiration and joy to watch and listen. I am happy so much that I found your UA-cam channel a while ago and waiting for each of your videos with excitement Thank you so much!!!
Beautiful home! Love your channel you two are great!!
A gem!
Love wow !
You were made to do this work! Such a lovely video. Well done!👏👏👏👏👏
I support you and Kevin in your valuable work in saving these beautiful homes. I loved the house where you made the big center island...it was just amazing. You are incredibly talented and I hope you keep sharing your gift with us all. Pay no attention to the Karens of the world.
I wish people wouldn't use my name in vain. I think it is a beautiful name and love is the name of the game.-Karen
You guys are awesome. Love your channel and the work you do. You have a whole community of supporters and we know how awesome you really are. Remember - for every crappy person you encounter there are literally thousands of people who love and support you and the quality work you do.
OMG! I love that house so much. I really hope the people who purchase it will keep it pristine. Of course I would renovate that area which needs some TLC. However, I would definitely keep the aesthetical format. I mean, how could you not. Am I right. BTW, you are so awesome. Thank you for all your research & information on each magical house that you show. More people should appreciate the history of a house & because it's so old, maybe keep that history intact.
I'm sorry you closed comments on your previous video. I was in the escrow title ins business for many years. I think you all did a great job on rehabbing such an old home. If they wanted a new build they should have gotten a new build.
Exactly
A simply amazing home...thank you for all of the extra and informative facts that you presented as well...
I have always enjoyed all of your projects and "walking" through these grand old homes are one of my highlights for the day. I've learned about ways to restore from your vids and I've learned I like watching you guys do all the work most of all! Lol😅😅 Keeping on the sunny side of life is'nt easy so here's some sunshine to help dispell the clouds🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Love it. The house looks small on the outside but that is not the case for the inside. Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful! Much bigger inside than the house looks from the front.🦉
Of course, I love the house, but that dress is so cute on you!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
$315,000?!?! In Salt Lake, you can't even buy a single wide trailer for that!
Beautiful.
Such a beautiful house! I love your videos!
Just so gorgeous home .
I had a period house that we were going to bring back it has a gas stove in the master, it was wonderful
What a magnificent stunner! If only, if only…🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
This would be the oerfect home for me .
Literally my dream home 🏡 ❤
You look quite lovely in this video.
Beautiful property love the original light fixtures, woodwork and hardware! Wish they wouldn't have made the kitchen so out of place 😮
We your followers stand by you both! I admire your professionalism and knowledge. Thank you for allowing me to have a quiet moment relieving me of anxiety by watching your videos. ❤
So glad you enjoy them.
Great history, you shared with us about the home and you.
Absolutely amazing!
So beautiful!

Cutest house ever! I always loved those curved porches; so elegant and inviting. I can never figure out why builders are inclined to give us two living rooms, but shortchange us on kitchen and laundry space, when many spend most of their time cooking and washing clothes. 🤔😂 I’m in a 2300 sq foot house with two living rooms, a small, cramped kitchen, and a microscopic laundry room. Go figure. I want a kitchen I can roller skate in, lol…the room for a bigger kitchen (it’s already bigger than mine!) is definitely there. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and as someone else mentioned, the Zillow link isn’t posted in your description.
It should be there now. Try refreshing
@@OurRestorationNationThanks-I actually found it by doing a general Google search, but it took a little bit. I know others will appreciate having the link in your description. 😊
