    The lighting in the bathroom breathes life into that room. It must be amazing in person. The globes are perfect and the crystals will be so fancy! I think the space behind the door may have been there on purpose for the door to rest in? Anyway, it looks like it was meant to be there. Beautiful, lovely room. Well done you guys. It really paid off to get what you wanted in there. All of those long work hours and the details in your vision came together and are stunning.

    God bless you for helping a friend in need. It is amazing, isn’t it, to have friends and family you’ve never seen and may never meet, here at least.

    This house reminds me of the movie "Meet me in St. Louis." Of course starring Judy Garland . Their house was a Victorian. The people were of the Victorian era. So was the original builder of this house. Such opulence! You and Kim have a beautiful house as you continue to refurbish history in the making!

    The Soft Lighting in the Bathroom is WONDERFUL, but the room that you're going on and on about, I was thinking - "Is he seeing the same room I am?" The Ceiling alone will be a 'NIGHTMARE' I would think, not to mention what you'll have to do to the Fireplace!!!! If I were a "BETTING WOMAN", I'd say you'll have it looking AMAZING before the year is out!!!!

    This video has brought me so much joy. Seeing all of the woodwork nigh on completely finished in the bathroom, seeing the bathroom in that stunning lighting, the door, the DOOR!! Seeing that on its hinges was huge, you've got an actual powder *room* now!
    Seeing the dining room all cleared out and beautifully lit, it set my imagination alight with how beautiful it will be when finished. I'm certain after the powder room that the reality will end up being better than anything I can envision!!

I grew up with a dad who refinished and rebuilt many derelict antiques filling our house with them making them beautiful again even rebuilding missing pieces. He would have me draw the patterns he would carve into the missing pieces he replaced in the furniture. That curly pine is beautiful. Good job all around.

Such a fantastic job you all are doing! And the cleaned-up room, like you said, really shows what a glorious house it was, and will be again.

    The bathroom looks absolutely gorgeous now. Really well done! No, the globes are perfect for the holders and for the room. Can't wait to see the crystals in place too. As you rightly said, Kaleb, your mirror has worked out extremely well. It looks just great on that wall. The door fitting so perfectly into that recess when open was meant to be! The curly pine is just so, so gorgeous and you did a marvellous job of renovating and hanging it.
    Thanks for showing us the cleaned up dining room. What a super room to use as a temporary bedroom for you both. You said "puppies". How many have you got between you both??? You will need to be extremely careful with all the valuable items that will eventually be on display. Wagging tails can do a lot of unintentional damage!! Have a really good week both of you.

    I like the mirror better than the medicine cabinet over the sink. The lights are lovely.
    Wow, the wood grain on the door, amazing!
    I grew up in 13 room orchard house on the corner of Tustin and Chapman in the small California historical town of Orange, and the house had bush button lights. So cool! That house was my best friend. It housed our family over several years and family friends. It took amazing good, loving care of us until 1962 (?) when a small strip mall across the street had a pharmacy that blew up at about 6am during a bad wind called the Santa Ana seasonal winds. Needless to say the house built of Redwood burnt down. My family lived there at that time. Sooo sad. That’s when I realized that the house was my best friend ever. I was an only child. 👋🏻🧑‍🦳😊💐
