Film whatever you're passionate about. Your love will shine through and it'll be perfect. I can tell with each video how comfortable you're becoming with doing these vlogs. Love watching them and the primary channel! With SO much hate in the world now, these videos are refreshing and much needed!
This is a nice complement to Empire… It’s nice to get a sense of place and day to day with your vlogs, while Empire can focus more on small details and how to’s.
Hey, young lady stop putting yourself down!! You are worth just as much as Kaleb in this restoration!! It is a massive task you've both taken on. Everything will come together quickly once you get electricity and water pipes laid then the ceilings and the insulation, plastered walls. I loved your tour of the house, seeing it through your eyes bought about a totally different perspective. It was a fresh, fun and clear picture showing all aspects of it. The view from the back and you talking about what needs doing was great. It shows how YOU see things. The love in your voice when you went to the 3rd floor was very evident, you were soft and gentle but you had a confidence and assuredness in your voice. You're doing great Kim, you really gotta stop thinking your not! Kaleb does what Kaleb does and is amazing how he works but he still doubts his decisions sometimes. Once you get to work on making it your craft room, your bedroom, your sitting room, YOU still have a say because you are both building your home so it's a combined effort and experience. I loved the work you did today, you're doing great. Now go enjoy your holiday, look forward to seeing some holiday footage, have fun. Thank you for your video. Take care, keep safe. Love and hugs Lesley-Ann xX P S. For the record:- "Never be less than you are! " LxX
Word of advice. My husband and I have done so many renovations for the past 26 years. Still in process with our bathroom now. While living in the house we totally gutted the kitchen to the studs. Replaced the subfloor in the entire main floor. And I can assure you that cleaning and organizing helps a ton. The house is gorgeous. Enjoy the process.
I love this candid tour of the house. It's probably your commentary and the time you take to go from room to room - this is the most thorough tour I've seen that gives me a good feel for the layout of the house. I keep forgetting how BIG the house is! The shape of the house itself and even the rooms twists my sense of proportion. Look forward to seeing your craft room completed. Wonderful view from up there.
Hi Kim, have a great trip with your Mom! The house is looking good, once the electric and water are fully functional things will move much faster. Yes, I'd love to see the RV show. I wish I had an RV myself.
A palm or a big fern on a tall period plant stand would be beautiful in that nook on the third floor behind the rail. I see that house full of palms and ferns. Have fun on your trip, and stay well.
Hi Kim, the Cedar wood closet is lined with Cedar wood because it keeps moths a bay, they really don't like Cedar wood!.You often find small blocks or marbles made of Cedar placed in drawers to protect your clothing. To keep them "activated " you use very fine sand paper and just give them a rub every now and again. So, when the closet has been restored, all you need to do is use a piece of very fine sand paper and take a shelf or drawer out give it a bit of a rub and it will protect your clothes. So, I would suggest you do your own research as the Cedar may be dealt with differently these days. Also, when it comes to wood Kaleb uses oils and things when he restores wood but as your clothes are likely to be in the closet they could get stained. I hope this is of help to you. Take care and keep safe, Lesley-Ann xX
So glad that you did this. The master suite upstairs is going to be so beautiful! Your own private space. I can picture it all laid out. Securing those windows upstairs is so important to weather proof that space in the maid’s quarters. Well worth the work. I really appreciate seeing the tour. Enjoy your trip with your Mama!!!!
hey, kim, have a great trip and enjoy mother/daughter time! vlog about whatever interests you. i always enjoy your content! yes, i want to see the RV Show!
Thanks for the tour. I enjoy your gentle manner as you show us your progress and future plans for the house. I think your craft room sounds awesome. I am a quilter and perked up at the mention of a sewing machine and fabric cutting table. When you were talking about your mom and your needing a car as she can’t walk as far as you, I thought she was elderly. Then you mentioned she is 61. I am 61 so that made me laugh. I am glad to hear you will wear a mask even though you are vaccinated as you can get Covid even if you have had it before. Being vaccinated, Covid would be milder but with the hospitals filled, you or your mom don’t want to get sick. Stay safe and have fun.
Safe travels. I would like to see Rv's I hope you guys get to move sooner than later. I would love that craft room. Your dogs will love it there with all that room.
Love the vlog, Kim! It pairs well with Kaleb’s channel! 😁 I can’t wait to see you making things for your home in your new craft room! That will be fun! Btw, try not get too overwhelmed and discouraged with restoration. Always remember, the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!
I watched the tour at the very beginning of the restoration but I definitely needed this 2nd one because I thought all the newly installed windows were on the 3rd floor! Your third floor bedroom and bathroom will be wonderful, plus a library, several sitting rooms and your craft room. You will never want to leave. Have fun with your mom; anything you want to show us in Nashville will be new to me. The American Pickers antique shop sounds like fun. Can’t wait see video from your trip. Safe travels. 🚐🚌
I’d rather wash dishes any day than dust haha. Thanks for the tour. It gives us an idea as what you want to do in the house. You mentioned about sitting area for the dogs to see outside. I suggest making a cushion for it that way the dogs can’t scratch up the wood or if painted. Also in case they want to nap they have something comfy to lay on. This house is going to be beautiful someday n they’ll always be something you’ll have to. A house is never really finished they say haha. Thanks again n have fun washing the dishes ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Your house is beautiful! I understand how anxious you are to get it finished. Caleb is doing an excellent job, nothing half way. By the time y’all are finished you will have a house to be proud of and excellent resale value. Have fun on your trip with your Mom.
I can appreciate how much hard work is going into your house and it feels like it is never ending ! I had my home restored just under 20 years ago, the mess was horrendous, at one point there was no roof on my kitchen , just four stone walls. Luckily it was worked on when it was as we discovered that a wooden beam that held up the rear of the house was rotted out at both ends and the whole of the back of the house was close to collapse. As the saying goes " you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" and when all the eggs are broken at once it seems overwhelming. The work on my home ( 1894) went on for 7 months and I had to live in it whilst it happened. All at once everything seemed to come together and the structural work was complete. It took a further 2 years to get all the decorating and refurnishing done ( partly due to having to have surgery and then recover which took 6 months) I am now on with redecorating for the 3rd time . There are still things I would change, money permitting, but a home is a never ending project. You will get there. Good luck x
Hope you had a wonderful time with your Mom! You are such a sweet and tender spoken person. Find joy in the journey of working on this house together. I look forward to seeing your craft room finished. I'm looking forward to our new office/craft room in the house we are building right now. Stay healthy and safe!
Great update!!!!!! Hearing what you plan for the top floor sounds great, but just as a thought and possibly a better layout! Trunk room, becomes kitchenette/laundry room… Bedroom, becomes large bathroom….. Bathroom/kitchenette, becomes bedroom/sofa area This way it’s a better flow from room to room and none of the original rooms are split up, also you then don’t have to walk through/past the kitchenette to get to your bedroom….
I’m sure they’ll consider your ideas. I didn’t plot it out in my head, but I’m sure they gave thought to where existing plumbing is, etc. Sometimes that sort of determines where things go unless you want to rip out a lot of floors, walls and/or ceilings. And when you’ve spent as much time as they have putting those things back together, I’m sure the last thing they want is to create even more to rebuild. It’s just a guess.
@@Lucinda_Jackson totally agree, at the end of the day we all have different thoughts and ideas. Would be boring if we all thought the same hehehe, sometimes we can be to close to something and need to step back and look at things with fresh eyes…
@@shaunsworld430 Yes!!! How many times have we all wrestled with a project or problem and thought we finally had THE answer only to have someone else give it a look and see something else entirely!
A gate leg, drop leaf table with multiple leaves is a great craft table. I actually have in a shed the mcm legs and sliding hardware for a table that extended possibly 12 feet.
Been all over my home state and in Tennessee, no health issues at all, it’s as safe as anywhere right now I guess, you might find masks optional in both states. I too had COVID last year, no fun for me, my hubby had hardly any symptoms 🙄. Mike Wolf’s Antique Archeology is pretty cool and the shopping center they’re in is incredible, it’s a converted 19th century factory, awesome place. Hope y’all have a nice visit.
Thanks for being a voice of reason. The lecture (basically) on wearing masks, fears of crowded places and being vaccinated is pretty much at paranoia level. Kaleb must have a fun personal life. P.S. I had *the illness* too, but I don't let *fear* rule my life.
Yes, show the RV stuff! Thanks for moving the camera slowly! It was nice to see the whole house. I think once you get the electric, things will move more quickly. But, wow, lots of work to do!
In the 1980s my husband, I and our three kids moved into a home that had been empty about 10 years. My first walk through I closed the storm windows to keep the weather out. We moved in after a few months of working on it and finally had water, electric and a wood burner in basement and main floor fireplace insert. I also cleaned and painted master bedroom so we had a nice place to sleep. It was a long job but it was very nice when done. Best wishes!
Kim we are getting to know more about you as we go.You have so many interests and talents and your extremely intelligent..Seeing the house this time I got a very different perspective.. Your house and it’s features are stunning! You and Kaleb are doing an amazing job and you will be successful..Thanks for sharing your ideas of what you intend to do in the rooms..The dogs will have many wonderful spaces to lookout from. Enjoy your much deserved break and look forward to seeing what adventures you and mum get up to..Take care and have a nice time.
Cool, thx for doing this.. I get confused trying to figure out the layout of the house. I love it!!!! You guys are going to be living in style!!! ❣ What a beautiful house!
All you can do dear is plug along! Your efforts are lovely and I can see you guys work so hard good luck! We’re all rooting for you guys! 💕💕WV The wood work is stunning so glad you’re not going to paint over all that beautiful work!
Yay! You got your car back and, hopefully, as good as new. Loved the tour! It’s good to have another perspective and it was helpful to have another tour to put the rooms back into a coherent space in my head again. I think I tend to get all focused on one or two rooms as Kaleb works - this helped me see it as a whole again! And I think you do a great job with the camera, but I think I’m the weirdo in the group. 🤪 I actually prefer it when it’s normal pace so it feels like it would if I were walking and seeing it. I start feeling seasick if it’s slow - but that’s what the playback speed adjustment is for, right? Have a wonderful time traveling with your mom. It sounds like so much fun! Show us what you can and/or want to. Make sure you don’t pressure yourself doing this instead of relaxing and enjoying the trip. And, yes, I’m in the group that’s up for the RV show! Take care and safe travels, Kim!
Kim if you want to film the RV show go a head. But if it keeps you from enjoying your time with your Mom don't worry about it. Have a nice trip with your Mom. I am sure you will be fine. Bye God Bless
I definitely want to film just for my own research purposes. I want to buy a travel trailer so we can leave our home at the campground and take the car/truck sightseeing.
Hi! You guys are doing such a wonderful job restoring. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your hard work and your vision for your beautiful home. God bless!
Hope you have a great trip! I enjoyed getting a better look at the third floor. One of the best parts of moving into a new space is imagining what it will be!
Its actually not a french door by french standard😅for us it should connect to the outside, "porte-fenêtre" door-window in eng is a door with glass which allows the natural light inside your house,for most of American a french door is the 2glass doors but we still call a 1 door as porte-fenêtre, if it's in the inside then it's just a door,no matter how it is made,it's still a door . Une baie-vitrée is the bay window which was commonly used for Windows which does not allows u to go outside, usually with little windows both side which u can open,but mostly large closed bay windows,in france it was mostly done on vérandas. Today the bay windows r more common than french doors, so they r more integrated in the architecture than the french-doors,accessible to the exterior or not ,bay windows r much more appreciated. Also the french doors does not mean those small square windows, there is plenty of them with larger glass windows with 1/3 of it just wood .
Have an awesome trip. Looking at the house gave me stress . Lots to do still… lots. I say 12 years to get it done . 4 years per floor to have it all button up but for sure it’s looking great little by little
I love your idea of having a Murphy sewing table. ♥️ You don’t have to use these additional ideas of course, but here are a couple. * Have a shallow cabinet on the wall behind the sewing table. When it’s up, it looks like whatever design you have on the underside of the table, and the cabinet shelves are hidden. When the table is down, you can use shelves that hold your most often used craft supplies. No need to go into the closet - just reach up and you’re ready to keep rolling. * Cork-topped table… whether this is a good idea depends on your crafts. For sewing, a cork topped table is great (it’s what they use in professional sewing spaces). The fabric doesn’t slide off the table, and you can stab the pin through the pattern into the table - the fabric doesn’t shift under the pattern. (Good for large pattern pieces - pin traditionally for small ones.) It’s also useful if you are making or copying patterns, making a pattern from an existing item, etc.
Thx for the tour Kim! It was helpful to see the layout again , and hear your nice planning ideas too... so is the "plan" to move in as soon as the electric is on and the plumbing is up and running? It'll be so much easier on you two to be able to live and work there🙂Have fun on your vacation with you mom, im sure you'll enjoy the time away, I have to plan a getaway too before the year gets away from me..lol..great video, cheers!
That is the plan! We’d like to park the rv in the driveway as soon as we have electric, we could start living there even sooner. But at least one of us would have to be there at all times and that’s just not feasible. We don’t want anything to happen to it of course.
Loved the layout of the house tour! Kaleb has been good at showing the rooms so maybe between Kaleb’s previous tours and you filming it in your style, I felt the layout this time. Looking down over the bannister actually made me feel like I was there! With the natural light ; the upper floors were showing her beauty. Seeing the little nook at the top of the stairs made me visualize an antique Jardiniere with a fern . Maybe that would be too plain for the decorative nook. Is it possible to pass “ simple farmhouse” gene on, because I think I got it!😂. When Kaleb said he wanted to eventually put a stained glass window in but he had to learn how to do the lead first…..it’s the way I looked at things in my 30’s & 40’s. I’ll just make it, but first I need to learn how! He’s got the talent to do it too, I’m sure! You spoke about your sewing machine going in your craft room, what do you like to create? I’m am one of THOSE people that buys furniture with my little dogs in mind, like will they be comfortable laying on the top while sunning in the window? Or buying an ottoman to go under a low window for them. Need I say I go through a lot of window cleaner😂? Wherever you and your mom go on your trip, have fun! Go where you want to go and I will be like a little mouse in your pocket enjoying the sights.
Since the episode where the maids room floor was talked about, I chuckle every time you go in there. Ooh that poor maid having to walk on a simple pine floor. 😂 Be safe on your trip to Nashville!! I lived there back in the day and tons of places to check out
Sue Hall Keeping motivated is hard having a break away is good.I would like to see the R V 's you look at and any thinking else you throw i into the mix. Have fun and stay safe. Love Sue❤❤🇬🇧❤❤☕🍰☕🍰🍦🍦
I dont remember if you two ever found a door for that one room but I've seen some old panel doors with the original eastlake Victorian ornate door handles including hinges. 3 doors 30" wide X 77 3/4" tall. 200 each on face book market place in Winterset ia. Plus I seen a green cushion eastlake fainting couch on market place for 175 dollars in Urbandale ia.
Just found out about your vlog Kim!! Too excited! I will have to binge watch like i did after the first video i saw you guys on 2nd Empire. I have totally enjoyed watching your channel. I loved the tour. Im glad to see everything that happens from the beginning. Oh! One more thing...don t listen to jealous jerks. Thats saying it nicely because i am trying to be respectful.
Hi Kim, Yes, the door is a French door with all of the window panes (doesn't need to be part of a set). Very pretty with all of the wood intact. Will you be sleeping on the second floor after the bathroom is finished until the top floor bedroom is done? Also, FYI - blackout curtains help with the sun being blocked in the morning (forgot to tell you last week).😎
This tour really complimented the earlier house tour video and helped me to understand the layout better. I enjoyed hearing your plans for all the spaces, and especially loved how much window space you're planning for the dogs, as well as the pet mural. Excellent idea! I would be interested in seeing the RV show. I hope you and your mom have a wonderful trip!
Thank you for the tour Kim. I like that you know just how your craft room will be laid out and your dogs will have a view from the window. I love a floor plan - do you have one, even just a sketch we could see? I hope you have a great time with your mum. I hope you can get a few rooms habitable soon. It will really spur you on. I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos! I’m watching from Hove on the south coast of England.
Craft room?! I love mine. I share a 2 bedroom apartment with my 20 year old daughter. The living room is her bedroom and her old room is my craft room. She has Asperger's and it made the last year a lot easier. we are able to get away from each other a bit and she didnt turn into a depressed lump in her room.
I like the way you show off the rooms it looks different then what your husband Celeb shows. You try to have a nice trip with your mom and be careful. 📹
Two comments. 1. Membrane roofing does best with nothing on top or attached through it. Decking and railing all need to be fastened securely down both of which would require penetrations though the membrane. Also to consider is what happens when something hard, like wood, rides on top of something softer, ie any sort of roofing material. Things will move, from walking, temperature changes and wind. Rubbing things make holes in the softer of the 2 materials 2.Until people become parents it is hard to guess how many facets of their lives will be affected. Most parents would not be comfortable or find it convenient to live a floor above their children for the first several years.
I’ve been a few times before but just stopping for a night at the most. I stayed at that hotel by the football stadium with the guitar shaped pool once!
Well we are going to be together for a long time, you have a lot of work to do, take a vacation while you can. I know it must be very overwhelming for you, the house and all there is to do, and then you have to go through the efforts of making these videos and keeping a positive outlook for the camera. I don’t know that I could put myself on display like that, so I give you huge kudos. I love Art Deco and I bet your work room will be spectacular, you have probably already sketched it out on paper or at least in your head 100 times. I love second empire style also very much and I doodle around with fantasy floor plans all the time. I’m so happy you took us up to the third floor because I’ve always had a hard time envisioning how the mansard roof works on the inside. I thought there would be a sloped ceiling or the walls would be angled but I see that they are perfectly straight and the pitch of the mansard doesn’t really take up that much room like I thought it would. You and Caleb should go on line and see the mattersport 3D walkthrough of the Alexander King Estate, it’s a beautiful 2nd empire house that the owners have spent years restoring and it’s magnificent. The library has the most beautiful-emerald green tile fireplace and the walls are emerald green cloth with hand painted gold gryphons which overflows in motif of gryphons throughout the room. The gas lamps the table legs the armchairs there’s gryphons everywhere. It has an interactive walk through that you can explore every inch of the house and look at it in a dolls house view, plan view, or interactive view. You will really appreciate their wonderful use of wallpaper. Well enjoy your time off and keep safe, clear your head and remember this too shall pass, and will be so worth the effort when you get to see it from the other end of the spectrum.
Hi Kim! Thanks for the tour. The house is on its way! All the time you were walking I had visions of what the home will look like! Be safe on your trip with your Mom.
Thanks so much for the lay of the land. That’s been a really good orientation for me. First time getting a really good look at the exterior and also the 3rd floor. Thanks and yes I’d love to see what the range RVs are like on the inside
Thanks for the tour Kim. I enjoy watching all the progress. Be safe on your trip, but enjoy the time away for sure. would love to see some video from the RV show too.
So glad you took us on the tour It's been awhile. I agree with your views on masking and we also avoid places where masks are an after thought. Be prepared because TN and GA are not compliant. If you choose to film RVs it would be greatly appreciated. TY Kim. Enjoy your get away!!
Film whatever you're passionate about. Your love will shine through and it'll be perfect. I can tell with each video how comfortable you're becoming with doing these vlogs. Love watching them and the primary channel! With SO much hate in the world now, these videos are refreshing and much needed!
This is a nice complement to Empire… It’s nice to get a sense of place and day to day with your vlogs, while Empire can focus more on small details and how to’s.
One of the things I LOVE about old houses is the creaky stairs! The place is going to be Amazing, thanks for sharing Kim… Enjoy you mini Vacation.
Hey, young lady stop putting yourself down!! You are worth just as much as Kaleb in this restoration!! It is a massive task you've both taken on. Everything will come together quickly once you get electricity and water pipes laid then the ceilings and the insulation, plastered walls.

Yes!!! How many times have we all wrestled with a project or problem and thought we finally had THE answer only to have someone else give it a look and see something else entirely!
A gate leg, drop leaf table with multiple leaves is a great craft table.
I actually have in a shed the mcm legs and sliding hardware for a table that extended possibly 12 feet.
I'm a fan from the Philippines, both you and Caleb. Hope you'll be moving in soon. Been enjoying watching this restoration of yours...
Been all over my home state and in Tennessee, no health issues at all, it’s as safe as anywhere right now I guess, you might find masks optional in both states. I too had COVID last year, no fun for me, my hubby had hardly any symptoms 🙄.
Mike Wolf’s Antique Archeology is pretty cool and the shopping center they’re in is incredible, it’s a converted 19th century factory, awesome place. Hope y’all have a nice visit.
Thanks for being a voice of reason. The lecture (basically) on wearing masks, fears of crowded places and being vaccinated is pretty much at paranoia level. Kaleb must have a fun personal life. P.S. I had *the illness* too, but I don't let *fear* rule my life.
Loving the idea of a deck off the sitting room!
Yes, show the RV stuff! Thanks for moving the camera slowly! It was nice to see the whole house. I think once you get the electric, things will move more quickly. But, wow, lots of work to do!
Your vids are always super relaxing! Something about your voice and calm nature. Hope you have a great trip with your mom!
Just film what YOU like filming. We'll follow along with you.
THIS!!!
Great job as always! Hope that you and your Mom have a safe and enjoyable trip! Thanks for allowing all of to be part of your journey!
In the 1980s my husband, I and our three kids moved into a home that had been empty about 10 years. My first walk through I closed the storm windows to keep the weather out. We moved in after a few months of working on it and finally had water, electric and a wood burner in basement and main floor fireplace insert. I also cleaned and painted master bedroom so we had a nice place to sleep. It was a long job but it was very nice when done. Best wishes!
Kim we are getting to know more about you as we go.You have so many interests and talents and your extremely intelligent..Seeing the house this time I got a very different perspective.. Your house and it’s features are stunning! You and Kaleb are doing an amazing job and you will be successful..Thanks for sharing your ideas of what you intend to do in the rooms..The dogs will have many wonderful spaces to lookout from.
Enjoy your much deserved break and look forward to seeing what adventures you and mum get up to..Take care and have a nice time.
Hey Kim, enjoy your hard earned time off with your mother! I could listen to you talk about anything, even your grocery list 😅
This is probably the best “tour video” I’ve seen so far! Thank you Kim, that was much appreciated!
Cool, thx for doing this.. I get confused trying to figure out the layout of the house. I love it!!!! You guys are going to be living in style!!! ❣ What a beautiful house!
All you can do dear is plug along! Your efforts are lovely and I can see you guys work so hard good luck! We’re all rooting for you guys! 💕💕WV The wood work is stunning so glad you’re not going to paint over all that beautiful work!
As a public health scientist, I want to say you are doing best practices so ... Be Safe! Have Fun! Make Good Choices!
We are definitely careful!
Would love to see the RV show. And thank you for wanting to film it for all of us. Have fun and safe travels. ❤️
Thanks Kim, that was so cool to see everything! This is fun to see!
Yes RV have a great trip.
Yay! You got your car back and, hopefully, as good as new.
Loved the tour! It’s good to have another perspective and it was helpful to have another tour to put the rooms back into a coherent space in my head again. I think I tend to get all focused on one or two rooms as Kaleb works - this helped me see it as a whole again! And I think you do a great job with the camera, but I think I’m the weirdo in the group. 🤪 I actually prefer it when it’s normal pace so it feels like it would if I were walking and seeing it. I start feeling seasick if it’s slow - but that’s what the playback speed adjustment is for, right?
Have a wonderful time traveling with your mom. It sounds like so much fun! Show us what you can and/or want to. Make sure you don’t pressure yourself doing this instead of relaxing and enjoying the trip. And, yes, I’m in the group that’s up for the RV show!
Take care and safe travels, Kim!
Take care. I'm sure you will.
Kim if you want to film the RV show go a head. But if it keeps you from enjoying your time with your Mom don't worry about it.
Have a nice trip with your Mom. I am sure you will be fine. Bye God Bless
I definitely want to film just for my own research purposes. I want to buy a travel trailer so we can leave our home at the campground and take the car/truck sightseeing.
I hate doing dishes too! Please film while you're away. Always interested in learning new things. I love downtown Nashville, have a great time.
Can understand your anxiety. It is a lot of work but it will be so beautiful when its done.
We're car buddies! Zoom zoom!!
Oh wow I forgot all about zoom zoom! Lol!
Hi! You guys are doing such a wonderful job restoring. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your hard work and your vision for your beautiful home. God bless!
Hope you have a great trip! I enjoyed getting a better look at the third floor. One of the best parts of moving into a new space is imagining what it will be!
Its actually not a french door by french standard😅for us it should connect to the outside, "porte-fenêtre" door-window in eng is a door with glass which allows the natural light inside your house,for most of American a french door is the 2glass doors but we still call a 1 door as porte-fenêtre, if it's in the inside then it's just a door,no matter how it is made,it's still a door . Une baie-vitrée is the bay window which was commonly used for Windows which does not allows u to go outside, usually with little windows both side which u can open,but mostly large closed bay windows,in france it was mostly done on vérandas. Today the bay windows r more common than french doors, so they r more integrated in the architecture than the french-doors,accessible to the exterior or not ,bay windows r much more appreciated.
Also the french doors does not mean those small square windows, there is plenty of them with larger glass windows with 1/3 of it just wood .
Thanks for sharing Kim take care
Gorgeous and spacious home..it will be lovely when its all done !! God bless
I just enjoy you both… You are saving history…. Something I’ve always wanted to do… Thank you for letting us into your life and your journey
Have an awesome trip. Looking at the house gave me stress . Lots to do still… lots. I say 12 years to get it done . 4 years per floor to have it all button up but for sure it’s looking great little by little
I love your idea of having a Murphy sewing table. ♥️
You don’t have to use these additional ideas of course, but here are a couple.
* Have a shallow cabinet on the wall behind the sewing table. When it’s up, it looks like whatever design you have on the underside of the table, and the cabinet shelves are hidden. When the table is down, you can use shelves that hold your most often used craft supplies. No need to go into the closet - just reach up and you’re ready to keep rolling.
* Cork-topped table… whether this is a good idea depends on your crafts. For sewing, a cork topped table is great (it’s what they use in professional sewing spaces). The fabric doesn’t slide off the table, and you can stab the pin through the pattern into the table - the fabric doesn’t shift under the pattern. (Good for large pattern pieces - pin traditionally for small ones.)
It’s also useful if you are making or copying patterns, making a pattern from an existing item, etc.
The cork top is genius! Thank you!
Have a fun safe trip with your mom. Sounds fun!
Thanks for the tour Kim, loved seeing it all. I would love to see the RV show! Safe travels to both you and your mom.
As a fellow crafter, I'm so excited for you for your workshop space! I love the "murphy"-table idea.
Thx for the tour Kim! It was helpful to see the layout again , and hear your nice planning ideas too... so is the "plan" to move in as soon as the electric is on and the plumbing is up and running? It'll be so much easier on you two to be able to live and work there🙂Have fun on your vacation with you mom, im sure you'll enjoy the time away, I have to plan a getaway too before the year gets away from me..lol..great video, cheers!
That is the plan! We’d like to park the rv in the driveway as soon as we have electric, we could start living there even sooner. But at least one of us would have to be there at all times and that’s just not feasible. We don’t want anything to happen to it of course.
Nice. Thank you and have a good time with your mother. Be safe can’t wait to see what y’all get up to 🥰
Loved the layout of the house tour! Kaleb has been good at showing the rooms so maybe between Kaleb’s previous tours and you filming it in your style, I felt the layout this time. Looking down over the bannister actually made me feel like I was there! With the natural light ; the upper floors were showing her beauty. Seeing the little nook at the top of the stairs made me visualize an antique Jardiniere with a fern . Maybe that would be too plain for the decorative nook. Is it possible to pass “ simple farmhouse” gene on, because I think I got it!😂. When Kaleb said he wanted to eventually put a stained glass window in but he had to learn how to do the lead first…..it’s the way I looked at things in my 30’s & 40’s. I’ll just make it, but first I need to learn how! He’s got the talent to do it too, I’m sure! You spoke about your sewing machine going in your craft room, what do you like to create?
I’m am one of THOSE people that buys furniture with my little dogs in mind, like will they be comfortable laying on the top while sunning in the window? Or buying an ottoman to go under a low window for them. Need I say I go through a lot of window cleaner😂? Wherever you and your mom go on your trip, have fun! Go where you want to go and I will be like a little mouse in your pocket enjoying the sights.
Since the episode where the maids room floor was talked about, I chuckle every time you go in there. Ooh that poor maid having to walk on a simple pine floor. 😂 Be safe on your trip to Nashville!! I lived there back in the day and tons of places to check out
Yes show us all your fun!!!
Sue Hall
Keeping motivated is hard having a break away is good.I would like to see the R V 's you look at and any thinking else you throw i into the mix. Have fun and stay safe.
Love Sue❤❤🇬🇧❤❤☕🍰☕🍰🍦🍦
Thank you for the tour, it helps to see what connects to what... enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much for filming this 💖 have a good time in Georgia and stay safe 💝
After watching this. I can’t wait to see the finished third floor.
I dont remember if you two ever found a door for that one room but I've seen some old panel doors with the original eastlake Victorian ornate door handles including hinges. 3 doors 30" wide X 77 3/4" tall. 200 each on face book market place in Winterset ia. Plus I seen a green cushion eastlake fainting couch on market place for 175 dollars in Urbandale ia.
Just found out about your vlog Kim!! Too excited! I will have to binge watch like i did after the first video i saw you guys on 2nd Empire. I have totally enjoyed watching your channel. I loved the tour. Im glad to see everything that happens from the beginning. Oh! One more thing...don t listen to jealous jerks. Thats saying it nicely because i am trying to be respectful.
Hi Kim, Yes, the door is a French door with all of the window panes (doesn't need to be part of a set). Very pretty with all of the wood intact. Will you be sleeping on the second floor after the bathroom is finished until the top floor bedroom is done? Also, FYI - blackout curtains help with the sun being blocked in the morning (forgot to tell you last week).😎
Yes we’ll be in the maids hall area when we move in. We have blackout curtains now but they aren’t perfect.
This tour really complimented the earlier house tour video and helped me to understand the layout better. I enjoyed hearing your plans for all the spaces, and especially loved how much window space you're planning for the dogs, as well as the pet mural. Excellent idea! I would be interested in seeing the RV show. I hope you and your mom have a wonderful trip!
Thank you for the tour Kim. I like that you know just how your craft room will be laid out and your dogs will have a view from the window. I love a floor plan - do you have one, even just a sketch we could see? I hope you have a great time with your mum. I hope you can get a few rooms habitable soon. It will really spur you on. I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos! I’m watching from Hove on the south coast of England.
Good to see you plan for a third floor bath. I have seen too many third floor BRs with no BA. Same for the basement.
Great job giving us this tour. Enjoyed.
Thankyou for showing us around.
Have a lovely break with your mum Kim 😊
Hey, Kim! Enjoy your time with your Mom! Document everything! 😉 I love the Art Deco idea! Enjoy! 🥂
Overwhelmed pretty well sums it up!
Craft room?! I love mine. I share a 2 bedroom apartment with my 20 year old daughter. The living room is her bedroom and her old room is my craft room. She has Asperger's and it made the last year a lot easier. we are able to get away from each other a bit and she didnt turn into a depressed lump in her room.
That’s awesome! Glad y’all got a good situation worked out.
I like the way you show off the rooms it looks different then what your husband Celeb shows. You try to have a nice trip with your mom and be careful. 📹
Lovely. Thanks.
Love this, thanks! But you forgot the basement!
And for sure take us to the RV show!
Two comments.
1. Membrane roofing does best with nothing on top or attached through it. Decking and railing all need to be fastened securely down both of which would require penetrations though the membrane. Also to consider is what happens when something hard, like wood, rides on top of something softer, ie any sort of roofing material. Things will move, from walking, temperature changes and wind. Rubbing things make holes in the softer of the 2 materials
2.Until people become parents it is hard to guess how many facets of their lives will be affected. Most parents would not be comfortable or find it convenient to live a floor above their children for the first several years.
If we have kids or adopt we will absolutely make any necessary changes. I would not want to be on a different floor.
You'll be so close to me in Nashville! You'll love it. It's so pretty !!
I’ve been a few times before but just stopping for a night at the most. I stayed at that hotel by the football stadium with the guitar shaped pool once!
Fyi.. I think you do an awesome job of filming and appreciate you taking the time to do it, I know you have a full plate already..
Thanks for the tour! I wish I had your energy.
Enjoy visiting Nashville with your mum
Well we are going to be together for a long time, you have a lot of work to do, take a vacation while you can. I know it must be very overwhelming for you, the house and all there is to do, and then you have to go through the efforts of making these videos and keeping a positive outlook for the camera. I don’t know that I could put myself on display like that, so I give you huge kudos. I love Art Deco and I bet your work room will be spectacular, you have probably already sketched it out on paper or at least in your head 100 times. I love second empire style also very much and I doodle around with fantasy floor plans all the time. I’m so happy you took us up to the third floor because I’ve always had a hard time envisioning how the mansard roof works on the inside. I thought there would be a sloped ceiling or the walls would be angled but I see that they are perfectly straight and the pitch of the mansard doesn’t really take up that much room like I thought it would. You and Caleb should go on line and see the mattersport 3D walkthrough of the Alexander King Estate, it’s a beautiful 2nd empire house that the owners have spent years restoring and it’s magnificent. The library has the most beautiful-emerald green tile fireplace and the walls are emerald green cloth with hand painted gold gryphons which overflows in motif of gryphons throughout the room. The gas lamps the table legs the armchairs there’s gryphons everywhere. It has an interactive walk through that you can explore every inch of the house and look at it in a dolls house view, plan view, or interactive view. You will really appreciate their wonderful use of wallpaper. Well enjoy your time off and keep safe, clear your head and remember this too shall pass, and will be so worth the effort when you get to see it from the other end of the spectrum.
THAT sounds fabulous!! I’m checking it out, too! Thanks for sharing!
My first house had a cedar closet. I sanded the entire inside and it completely regenerated the cedar smell. Don't gut it!
We would not do that! It’s staying.
Stay safe Kim and your mom.
My Dad never fixed the creaky stairs in our home. He said he could always keep track of us that way...lol
I’d love to see some RV tours! Have a safe trip.
Hi Kim! Thanks for the tour. The house is on its way! All the time you were walking I had visions of what the home will look like! Be safe on your trip with your Mom.
I love that you keep the book about Ghosts in your Harry Potter closet. LOL 11:30
Have a great vacation 👌
Thanks so much for the lay of the land. That’s been a really good orientation for me. First time getting a really good look at the exterior and also the 3rd floor. Thanks and yes I’d love to see what the range RVs are like on the inside
Thanks for the tour Kim. I enjoy watching all the progress. Be safe on your trip, but enjoy the time away for sure. would love to see some video from the RV show too.
Nice camera work! You did a great job of moving the camera smoothly and slowly, making it possible for us to see the layout!
I just love it! I love watching yalls projects and look forward to tour next! Have fun on your vacation!
So glad you took us on the tour
It's been awhile. I agree with your views on masking and we also avoid places where masks are an after thought. Be prepared because TN and GA are not compliant. If you choose to film RVs it would be greatly appreciated. TY Kim. Enjoy your get away!!
It’s the same with masks here. Especially the county my mom lives in, we’ve left places before because too many maskless people.
Enjoyed! Praying travel safety! So glad you & your mother special road trip!
Love u guys so much I hope When I’m by my old home you guys could also be part of the journey
