    That kitchen light is just gorgeous. I wish more modern homes used classic lighting in them like this. I like that the restorer didn't use a lot of hanging lights in the house to light the house, too. It looks like they rely on the house's natural light and a lot of lamps to light the house, and that feels so much more unique and special in my opinion. Love the armoires in the bedrooms, too. Those are beautiful! And a perfect way to add storage without building over what's already there.

      I have a solid brass double lamp that was converted to electric like thst. A little more scroll work and doesn’t have the globes,, but candle-like lights and shades or new globes would be fine. Nobody wants to buy here. All that 18th and 19th century furniture like is in it I have nobody wants it. Im in western NC in smokies. I need to find homes for things so my kids don’t have to deal with it. I’ve downsized the last 10 , almost 11 years since I lost my husband.
      Spent a lifetime of collecting and been trying to purge it.
      Beautiful home. I was surprised by the price!

    I toured OAK ALLEY in 1984 my ❤ skips a beat when I see or hear anything about OAK ALLEY!!! Have you been there? I believe I was a poor child who wanted to live in the big magnificent house in a past life!!! I bought a picture book as a teenager called GHOSTS OF THE MISSISSIPP filled with photos of old plantations succumbing to nature. I was drawn to the big plantation houses I don't know why!I wish a very Merry Christmas to you both!!!!!

    My home was built 1790 and a lot the construction style in this home is similar to mine including the beaded ceiling and exposed beams. The interior doors were constructed the same as shutters and the floors, ceilings and doors were actual 1 1/8” thick. Great vid and insight into the detail of this home. It’s appreciated..

    I love this channel. Laine and Kevin do an amazing job on appreciating and sharing beauty even when it is not to be seen at first glance. It is also somewhat educational and entertaining at the same time. I don't live in USA, nor I am American, but this is a show I would watch on Netflix, if its escence is preserved. I like Laine and Kevin as hosts and they do a fantastic job. I hope theur hard work is compensated. I am guessing they are not going to read this comment, which is more than understable, but at least I put it out there. By the way, realtors should pay them something. This is priceless advertisement.

    I adore the balance and simplicity of these rooms, which allow the beautiful period furniture to shine. The kitchen is so well done, with the modern necessities slipped into the perfect setting. The range hood is divine! And I agree! Those are the best added storage I've seen for a home with no closets. People who buy old houses should step back for a minute and really think how features from the past can work as is. Things like air flow, natural light, and putting existing spaces to a different use, rather than gutting it all for open floor plans or other trendy ideas. I've learned so much about the South from you, and how each home reflects the times and needs of the people who built them. Sunny today here in So Cal too.

    I've been trying to sell my 1883 home,across from the city civic center. It still has all it's original door knobs and escrusteons plus the original light fixtures. None of the woodwork on main level has ever been painted. There are 3 sets of pocket doors. The lower level contained the kitchen, dining room, bathroom. The attic is one huge room. Originally, there was a widows walk and the house still contains 3 chimneys, with 7 flues. Every room except the two bathrooms, have 3 windows or 2 windows and one door. Most rooms are 15f x 15f. The ceilings are 12f. This house is huge and it has a wrap a round porch. The windows on the main level are 84in and lower level 64in. The attic have cute windows and dormer windows on south side. The crawl space is native stone, the lower level is brick and main and attic ship lap. The staircase from lower level up to the attic is curved and enclosed. The original owner immigrated from Bavaria in 1859, just in time for Civil War. Because he entered thru NYC, he fought for Union. He and his wife had two sons who worked for Iron Mtn RR. They also had 5 daughters, last died in 1947. Then their second sons wife had a son, that inherited. They lived there until house sold in 1976. The buyers lived there until 2017, when I bought it. It is a lovely house that needs new caretakers to love and restore it. Merry Christmas...e

    Beautiful home. Just driving up and down River Road on both sides of the river is a treat. It’s unfortunate there are so many industrial plants next to these homes, many owned by corporations, so are off limits to the public. Hopefully these businesses maintain the homes properly.
    During my recent tour of Louisiana, one guide told me the reason so many antebellum homes survived is that Louisiana fell early to the Union Army, putting up little resistance. Don’t know how true this is, but sounds reasonable.

It was a room that could only be gotten to from the outside. the room only had an abed and washstand init. because even back then who in their right mind would let a total stranger in home to spend the night.

    • @OurRestorationNation
      @OurRestorationNation  Рік тому +3

      I suspect like us the man that rehabilitated this home places chimney function at the end of a long list. Typically there will be some damage over time to the chimney that will have to be resolved before it can be made wood burning. I don’t know the situation here. You’d have to ask the realtor. But you can also do a ventless gas fireplace that is very warm. We’ve done that in the past.

      As a historian of slavery, I do! Some Creoles owned slaves, and while tobacco plantations like this one could operate with smaller enslaved labor forces, they could not dispense with it entirely if they were cultivating on a large scale. I'd be delighted to hear your research shows otherwise, but the video doesn't say anything about the economic or labor history of the house and its owners. @@OurRestorationNation

    • @OurRestorationNation
      @OurRestorationNation  Рік тому +3

      Well, as a historian of slavery specifically I’d say you are far more qualified to speak on the subject than am I. I’d love it if you did the research on the farm and got back to us. I am an architectural historian, and my specialty is the built structure, so that’s what I speak on. We find that the general lay- person is unaware of concepts of bousillage or the difference between type and style of home. They don’t know how to tell if wood was milled or hewn. How glass was produced before modern methods evolved is a mystery to most. So, our intention is to teach the hidden. Slavery is not hidden. Its history and effects are known by everyone around the globe. While that knowledge may not be at the level you would prefer, we feel like slavery isn’t a mystery to anyone. As it isn’t a mystery we feel that making sweeping statements about issues we don’t have full historic facts on is disingenuous and performative. Performative activism is worthless. So, unless we have facts, we don’t perform.
