I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody bring a structure back from so close to the brink as you have with this one. Your restoration skills are incredible. Amazing job guys!
I love the whimsy vibe of the entire cottage and that is the happiest kitchen I've ever seen. I could just sit in there forever! What an amazing transformation. I absolutely love this.
My Mother was born August 16th 1926, she would have been 98 yrs old now. She passed March 8th of 2021 at age 94. This was all a reflection of her era and you respected it so well. I am in awe of what you did to this cottage, just stunned and beyond words! I had never heard of your channel, this just showed up on my feed today, so you two have just gained a new subscriber! Looking forward to it, thanks!
I bought the same fridge two years ago for my 1939 house in the turquoise color. It's been very reliable and I love it! This cottage is lovely and has inspired me to keep going!
O U T S T A N D I N G ! ! ! The decor & colors are gorgeous, I love the BR fixtures are 1926 as a nod to the original build, love the appliances & love, love, love the furniture! That's a lot of work,walls,floors,roof,falling trees ....truly a labor of love,well done❤❤❤
I wish I had a co-team-member to work with like you two do. You're so lucky to find someone who shares your passion and energy for restoring old houses. ❤ Well done! What a good job!
I watch lots of these reno vids i am living in one right now. A three bedroom three and half bath on a half acre for five years. I paid $1000. You are outstanding and it is unbelievable you would take this on. You get the award for the best reno and best video EVER. I am soooo impressed and we are not worthy ❤❤❤💪🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️🏆thank you so much for sharing
I cannot get enough of the Dutch door. What an enchanting decision that complements the Alice In Wonderland vibes of the place. It truly is like a Wonderland with Mid Century accents, like Walt Disney paid a visit and was inspired to produce a Disney version of the famous Lewis Carroll classic. What a feat. My restoration and other life goals are possible. That’s what these wildly near-impossible restoration journeys show me.
@@ManWhoLovesTheMary after 25 years we are able to fix up our house. For us it is maintenance of the Cathedral ceilings and the cement floor for aging in place. I went with pink walls inspired by Our Restoration Nations. It takes guts to go with pretty colors when everyone chooses grey!
Oh goodness, what an amazing transformation. So cozy and welcoming. The whimsy is absolutely perfect and the only way it should have ever been done. Fantastic job!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Truly a remarkable renovation, and the decor is stunning! Whimsy mixed with elegance, comfort, and practicality. You've made a great use of this small space. You're very talented people. Beautiful, just beautiful! 😊
I've lived in a tiny one bedroom 1920s cottage in California and I now live in a tiny one bedroom 1950s cottage in the woods of interior Alaska (a cottage, not a cabin!). As a die-hard happy cottage dweller, I must say that your new place makes me very happy. You gave that little place a whole new life! 🎉
I'm not sure how UA-cam knew I needed to see this, but I definitely did! I subscribed to the channel, too! I'm simply amazed at how beautiful this cottage turned out from where it started. It is stunning! Thank you for not giving up, and for bringing it back to life!
Amazing restoration! Such beautiful taste, decor is perfect, grabs me on site! Beautiful plus ten! Thank you for sharing what one can accomplish, with a little help from your friends! ✅🌸
Okay, you somehow put my entire personality into this cottage. Especially that kitchen. All the way down to the items you hung on the walls and the light fixtures. It is perfect in every way. If I had to design a cottage myself it would be exactly this. Beautiful, quirky and fun.
We have the same style Italian tole ware light fixture over our 1969 mid-century modest kitchen table. I've always loved it so very much. So does Larry. When we first moved into the house and hung the chandelier a visiting friend came in to "love on" our new home and she said, "Oh, this fixture is the first thing I'd change!" We about died laughing. I only paid $2 for it at a garage sale - no kidding. Don't we all just love finding treasures!
@@kathleenstanley6751 my Dale Tiffany chandelier was free for one and $150.00 for the other on clearance at Home Depot in 1999. Our treasures are happy finds no matter the cheapness.
Oh my goodness! Cottage is so very sweet and full of charm. The decorating certainly brings it life. Amazing job, the before view would have been had most people running.
Squatter hoarders can really be destructive to a property. The historic home beside me had the same damage and immense junk hoarding situation but now, after undergoing a complete reno, it’s beautiful and matches the other homes in our neighborhood. I’m so very glad you saw the need to restore this cottage and I’m even more appreciative to the young man who saw the value in saving the home next door!
It's gorgeous! Reminds me of a cabin we stayed in back in the early 70s when I was a kid out on an Old mill farm near Holly springs Mississippi Out near the national forest. It had a huge cabin 2 story for a main home. It's gone now sadly. People bought the place and tore it down. Everything. I couldn't believe they tore it down. It was very old.
Dear Laine and Kevin, Thank so much for feeding my romantic heart for restoration! This cottage is so Happy! And what a wonderful place to be "Hope Farm".The charm has been restored and when the landscape is complete out front, the love shack will be a lovely destination for guests. I know you two put your heart and soul into all your restoration projects and this one will be a great place for you two to rest with your pack at end of the day. Again thank you for sharing all of the struggle and triumph with us! ❤
You are architectural geniuses! I don’t think that there is a better restoration team than y’all. I absolutely adore what you have done with this little cottage. Perfection! 💗
If I had not seen this with my own eyes I would not believed you could save it!! The cottage is so pretty!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with HOPE !!
It's like you decorated this especially for me! How fantastic it is! Perfect size, the stylings you chose and the colors (classic Tiffany), the types of plates, all of it, that bear cup dude, the butterfly chairs!! My head exploded. It is just splendid!
Wow!!!! Perfection, beautifully done. A dream. How to blend vintage with modern. I cannot even believe it was the place with the poor little kitties, you both are totally amazing. Glad you saved the place. Looks grand on a cottage scale, again perfection. Peace!
I imagine in time if hope farm stays in your hands this will be the perfect place for a senior couple (40 years down the road ofc since yall are young 😄) only 3 or 4 steps up to the house and what a dream to get to continue overseeing the main house from a little manageable cottage
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody bring a structure back from so close to the brink as you have with this one. Your restoration skills are incredible. Amazing job guys!
Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
Agree!
And I don’t think l’ve ever seen anybody mix Bondo with their hands.
Agree!!
Lovely
Nobody spends enough time on the "after" shots. Love that you did!
The little house is happy now...🥺💗
That little cottage was given a chance to breathe a huge sigh of relief and be it’s happy self again! 🌞
Absolutely adorable!
The good thing about giving up TV years ago is that I don't have to orient furniture toward it. I love that.
The best thing about giving up t.v. is not having to structure my day around it, watch horrible news and have all the extra time to read!
I think the best thing about giving up tv about 7 years ago, is I spend so much more time outdoors.
Love it!
So now, instead of staring at the TV, you stare at your computer.

I’m one of those people that can look at a place and see Potential but not this time. Y’all are amazing.
How many times did it seem like fate didn't want you to live there? You guys really are amazing.
Really just once, when the tree fell. And that felt more like the house didn’t want that pesky extra space. But we made her see the light 😂
I call it a house fighting I'm working on a house from the late 70s and it has things happen to make me lose faith but I never will.
Inspiring! I bought land with a hundred year old dilapidated cabin and have been restoring for 8 years! Y’all did a fabulous job!
"WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY... BEAUTIFULLY DONE!"
Lovely turnout. Thank you for painting the ceiling Haint blue ... it's a great tradition!
It’s just a bubble gum jewel box with dream dust sprinkled about! I love how whimsical it is! It’s just perfection!

What a transformation! Beautifully done with vintage touch everywhere! ❤
This turned out so darn adorable. Great job!❤😍

Absolutely adorable/precious!!
In the years to come, many people will make wonderful memories being able to stay there.
Really! Why would you bother? Disgusting! Connie
Wow! And you can tell they smoked and that just permeates everything. Incredible transformation.
