Me too!
Me too💕
Its going to be beautiful.
Me too
Same, lol!
I love seeing these beautiful houses restored. Caleb and Kim sent me too.
Kaleb sent me too. Good Luck!
We are so glad you are here! Kaleb is the best, he will also make an appearance in a later episode!
Kaleb and Kim sent me also.
2nd empire strikes back sent me
Kaleb and Kim sent me too. Beautiful house. Can't wait to see your progress!
Thank you so much. Stay tuned!
I just watched the video of Caleb restoring one of your doors and came over on Caleb's recommendation....glad I did. It is fantastic how you, Caleb and Kim and others are buying and fixing up these beautiful old homes. I just went through most of your videos but I didn't see one on the history of your home or the family that built it. Did I miss it? I am a history nut and love knowing about those who went before. Good luck to you and your family, it's a big job but looks like you have a good team to help you out with it!
Matt Mizell here.. I love this comment because I am so passionate about this story. Here's the deal. To properly shoot the documentary about Vahlkamp we need time and money. I dont want to under-produce it. We are trying to get monetized on YT first and get several more episodes made and then the teams dream is to shoot a documentary about Vahlkamp's life. I was a bit naïve about how much this would take to keep the 2 video a week pace. But we're going to do it.
I'm also considering shooting some brews where I just go through the history without the beauty and engagement of the documentary, but it would provide context.
@@MansardStudios Matt, you don't have to be all fancy with your videos - people (or maybe it's just me???) are just enjoying your saving of the beautiful home. I know it is hard work to get 2 videos out a week, don't kill yourself over it - My only suggestion is to simplify. With you (and your beautiful deep voice) telling the story and maybe showing a couple of pix is enough for most people. You can work on the fancy stuff as time allows. Just my 2 cents. Whatever you do, keep it coming!! and wishing you much luck and success!!!!

Hello! Kaleb sent me too! You have a beautiful old girl! I'll enjoy watching you bring her back to life.😊
Nice project coming up! Kaleb sent me 🎉
Can’t wait to follow the progress. Kaleb sent me. Glad he did.
Beautiful house! Kaleb sent me!
Thank you so much for coming!
Same as the others. Kaleb & Kim's suggestion we follow your journey as well. I like your digital room images. Nice touch.
Thank you! The 3D model really helps to visual the space and help the contractors understand what we are trying to do. Lots of work goes into it.
Consider an historic freestanding kitchen rather than modern built-in. Especially with your amazing refrigerator! Will be a beautiful home.
We will release a design episode soon where we talk through the design decisions. We are certainly staying truer to the time period with some modern creature comforts.
If Kaleb and Kim recommend you that's enough to check your channel out. Glad I did, love your home and the plans you have to restore it.
Thanks! We think they are pretty special people.
@@MansardStudios I can tell y'all are special also! Anyone willing to put hard work into restoring our historical homes and saving them from the dozer, is special in my opinion.
Caleb from 2nd Empire Strikes Back sent me. Good luck on your renovations. Beautiful home and great ideas.
Thank you so much for commenting. We are a little biased on how pretty it is.
First let me say Caleb sent me n I’m so glad that he did. I’m looking so forward to see you restoring this beautiful 140 year old house. It’s going to be magnificent. My only hopes that you’ll stay with the original house style. Please, don’t modernize it you’ll spoil the true character of the house.
This is so exciting n I hope your looking forward to it. They’ll be many headaches n disappointments but there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
♥️😊👍
We are going to be releasing an episode about the design decisions with the house soon. We are preserving what is there, reusing what was left in the house while making sure we update the home so a modern family can live in it (currently no bathrooms!)
Kaleb & Kim sent me. Looking forward to watching the progress!
What a beautiful house. So many cool features and so much exciting potential. Congratulations, guys! Oh - also Kaleb sent me too!
Thank you for the beautiful comment! We can't wait to show you more.
This looks like quite the adventure. Can’t wait to see it all unfold.
Thanks, Kaleb and Kim, for suggesting this channel.
Thank you so much for following Kaleb & Kim are an absolute inspiration to us, and we are so grateful you are here for our journey!
Nice video, good luck on your journey. Caleb and Kim sent me.
Thanks for the luck! It will be a bumpy road but as long as the family lives in it we will be happy.
Long time viewer of Kaleb and Kim’s here. Great to see someone else in St Louis restoring another old house, St Louis seems to have a lot of really nice old buildings that need some love. Your CGI mock-ups of the finished house look great.
Thanks! A lot of hard work and love went into these videos.
Heard about you from Caleb, but didn't come over ... just stumbled across you on my own, and was thrilled to hear Caleb mentioned - - Lovely house, can't wait to see her restored
Welcome!
Same here-thanks Kim and Caleb! Cool house
The woodwork, bannister, white porcelain door knobs, faux burlwood, & curved windowtops are just like the 1883/4 Italianate I grew up in, in Nebraska. 💕
I found you through Caleb.
Can't wait to see the final results!
Thank you for watching!
What a BEAUTIFUL home. Im so glad that you will be RESTORING and not re-modeling now i have so many month to watch and see the progress
I’m excited! Kaleb and Kim sent me. Is your house in the same neighborhood?
No, this house is actually south of Kaleb's home, about 15 minuets or so. There is so much great architecture all through St Louis City.
@@MansardStudios we were west of St Louis for two weeks about a month ago. We didn’t have the opportunity to do much meandering around the neighborhoods because of car problems. We plan to return to the area again to further explore.
It's a fabulous house! So, y'all are renovating not really restoring but ur saving the house, so a win anyway.
Thank you so much. Our end goal is to make sure the family can comfortably live in the home while we maintain as much of the original character.
Very excited to see this project develop!
Awesome
Thanks for making this historical house a priority. My great grandfather was Henry Valhkamp. It is great to be able to see the house and hear the history that you have discovered. THANK YOU!
Jean that's amazing! We would love to talk to you if you're interested???
@@MansardStudios Sure, we could talk. I think I have a photo that may have been taken in the front parlor? It is of Henry & Caroline's 50th Wedding Anniversary. I haven't figure out the math yet to see if that is where they were living or not. The photo is a bit dark and has about 35-50 people in it (their whole family). I am on the west coast so we could set up a time that will work for both of us.
Jean we would love to chat! If you could send a message to Matt@mansardmedia.com so we can connect, we have a lot of info about Henry but are always searching for more! And photos are always great.
Also @jeancourter you can send an email to matt.mizell@protonmail.com!
This was really well filmed. Great intro! Can’t wait to follow the journey
Thanks so much!! Welcome!
It’s going to be stunning!
Thank you! We hope so!
Must be nice to have a demo team lol. Like Kaleb I'm usually on my own. That's a great looking house and I can't wait to see more videos!
When you were looking at the fireplace and wondering what stone was used I thought about an app called Rock Identifier. I hope that helps. Love your home.
Caleb gave us the word. Here I am.
Love your house too.
I sent myself. Great ideas. I worked in Saint Louis last year and I went through a few of the historic neighborhoods. The old houses were just amazing. Loved the houses and antiques.
"Second Empire" recommended us to visit your channel. Great content! We subscribed :)
what a great recommendation kaleb did! i'm totally in for this journey.
The house it's gorgeous and offers a lot of possibilities!! 😍😍
We are so excited to have you along for the adventure! Kaleb is an absolute inspiration to us and we are grateful to have so many like-minded people like you with us!
Dry-ice blasting will work wonders on all that beautiful woodwork. It removes paint without damage and also very little dust etc.
Great tip!
Kaleb and Kim's 2nd Empire channel brought me here! I'm a New Yorker but I love St. Louis.
Your videos with all the history etc is outstanding. Great narration. Subscribed!
Yay! Welcome!
What a lovely house! I can't wait to see it be renovated :)
Btw Caleb and Kim sent me ♡
Hey all ! I got sent here by Mr. and MRS. Higgins as well. I hit like and subscribed too !
I love that vintage fridge. I can just see you reaching for the breakfast fixings in it already.
Thank you so much for joining us! There are so many jaw-dropping details to this house that we are excited to share! We will be releasing a few new episodes shortly that really dive into the future design elements.
Horse hair plaster. Amazing. Gorgeous banister. Incredible find, getting that antique refrigerator. Astounding. Are there any surviving historical pictures of the home in local libraries?
Not many surviving photos of the house before 1960s. We're still looking though.
Beautiful home. Caleb sent me as well.
Cool house! Nice plans, Please make a tour foucused on the house too, where we can see all the details, here you’ve shown more of your backs and you talking than the house itself. ✌🏼🌟✨
Food for thought. Thank you for your feedback.
Check out the Cinematic Tour video! It's just pretty shots of the house, no talking, no people. 🖤
Calab & Kim sent me.
Kaleb sent me !the bedroom fire place is drool worthy!
Isn't it! So glad they were still in the house. That isn't typical in this area.

I applaud your efforts and vision across the board. As someone who loves old houses with history I always suggest having the property 'cleared and smudged' of the old energy including new houses. There are real estate agents hiring people for energy house clearings. I am assuming you have done this.
Hi Alannah! My name is JD and I am the Director of the Legends of Lemp series and I am so happy I was the one who read this reply! The energy of the house is such an important aspect that has been overlooked for so long in the mainstream and I am SO extremely happy that it's becoming such a common practice. As a practitioner and explorer in the field of Psychospiritualism, we have absolutely made sure to incorporate the appropriate intentions. Thank you SO MUCH for his comment and for following our journey!
@@MansardStudios Awesome JD I am very happy to hear your response as it felt cleared to me. After clanging and smudging a popular Toronto bar because the owners couldn't find a buyer, they called us back for a meeting because of the way it felt the morning after. They especially were shocked that the musty dank smell in the bsmt bathrooms was gone after their constant attempts to clear it with cleaning. I told them the 'copal' we added to the sage and cedar would flare up in the area across from the entrance so had to repeat the process a few times there also. They said the nasty former owner used to stand there choosing who he would let in. Loving your production. I thought just the fact that this house was so connected to the 'other' one through the DNA of this owner intensified everything and you fixed that so good job! BTW the bar sold shortly after.
Found out about you from Caleb and Kim!
Wow, so much to see. All these fireplaces, every single one different and lovely to look at. From the video it was difficult to tell but could the fireplace with the brass inlays and the different stone types be a painted piece like Kaleb from The Second Empire Strikes Back has in his library. And these ceiling roses, they almost look like they should be original in that paint.
On your attic room, please don't remove the railing, it survived all these years, about 150 like you said and it would be a shame to loose that. If you are worried about privacy you can install a sort of non see-through glass in front of it.
Last thing that interests me is will you get most of your walls plastered again or and if not, what do you imagine you do with the brick walls ?
Glass wall isn't a bad idea. We'll look at cost.
Thank you so much for your comment. We are going to work with the construction team to see what creative ways we can keep the original woodwork, sometimes its a matter of keeping trim or railings.
The plaster was falling off the walls and ceilings due to the home being vacant for so many years. It needed to go for the safety of the family. We will have to go back with drywall so it can be insulated appropriately and it is lighter weight than plaster. Plaster would also not be financially feasable.
Kaleb and Kim send me it's cool just subscribed
thank you for following our journey Sara! We love our 2nd Empire family!
What state is that house in looks like
When the house was purchased it was cleaned out but had been vacant for 7 years with leaks in the roof. Main objective was to seal and secure the house.
It is French marble.
Hmmm thank you
Kalb and kim sent me
Kaleb and Kim fan! They're doing more of a restoration. It sounds like you're keeping the integrity of the old house your redoing. 🤷
Yeah, I have to sprint to get my family in as soon as possible. It's a little different situation.
Nooo don’t remove the railing
We are going to work with the construction team to see what we can do to save as much of the architectural details while updating it to accommodate the family. We don't want to lose the railing but may need to lose the trim around the window.
Kaleb & Kim, Sent me
& Kaleb can fix the medallions also after all he needs the money to fix his roof
Well, we are thinking similar thoughts. As soon as we heard about the roof we began thinking about how we can help. That's how the door episode where Kaleb helps us with a door (soon to be released) came about.
Have no clue about old vintage homes
And you going to screw all that gorgeous stuff up
Sent by Caleb and Kim as well ☺️ another great channel for information on restoring old homes is Ourrestorationnation. My two favorite home restoration channels now have a third joining them, I can’t wait to see your home come together!
So glad your here!
