  • A little over a year ago, the 1890s West Roxbury Victorian was a tired-looking house. Now, it’s all dressed up and looking good. The crew and homeowners give a tour of the changes to the exterior and interior of the house which created an open and welcoming environment. This transformation took overcoming the challenges of supply chain issues and was done beautifully because of a big team effort.

    Another builder's grade renovation with architectural mistakes like putting a sink next to a window in the kids room, that window will never be clean. And removing the original porch railing for the cheap stainless steel cable that will look outdated in a few years. Builders can't differentiate between modern and trendy.

    I know designs are led by the homeowners, but TOH is doing a huge disservice by not educating people/the owners about embracing their old homes and heritage. Victorian houses are supposed to be "fussy". Not modern and sleek and "open floor plan". I'm glad they kept some windows and doors, but goodness, so much was taken out and it could be mistaken for a new house w/ a few salvaged pieces inserted in. So much for history. The exterior shingles were awesome - just needed stripped and painted. Now it looks flat with the new siding, especially because there's no longer shaker siding on the gable. Can we also stop using grays for wall "color"? Other than taking the hedges out of the front and redoing the brick walkway, I liked the "before" so much better.
