    As an architectural technologist. And interior designing student. This remodel was absolutely amazing. Some features you must add (imo) is some beautiful paintings, and a little more on furniture. With a beautiful house like this it compliments the furniture and the interior so try not to cheap out on the furniture unless you’re flipping the property.

    Wow, amazing job. For my feeling, the old house worked very hard to pretend something it wasn't, while the new house breathes a sort of relaxation as if it says I'm finally home. The only thing I don't find a good fit, are the few arches upstairs, although modernised. I think square edges would have extra defined the new style. But I would be more than happy to think about that every morning while walking down those stairs for the rest of my life hahahaha. The lighting and decor is amazing, it's very much on trend while still being timeless. I don't think there is much that will age bad. Except for the arches then '-)

I personally helped with a burnt down kitchen and living room & it was a lot more work than we thought it was gonna be. As a few people said before I loved the old pillars it made it look like a mansion, and now it just looks like a really big house, but it definitely wouldn’t look right with the interior but overall, you did an amazing job.

    Wow, you have literally turned the burnt house into the most beautiful home for you and your family to live in. Your Hispanic/Mexican team of men were working their bloody arses off, not affrid to take risks, making their own ladders as didnt hsvr one big enough, (where theres a will theres a way) they worked as a team to get the jobs done. Not sure you would get the British lads working as hard as the hispanic/Mexican men. The house looks amazing and i bet the family cant wait to personalise their rooms etc. Look forwards to seeing whats next. Hi from Ascot Berks.

    Just found this video and had to watch, then subscribed, from Wisconsin. The amount of work and talent behind the design and structure is phenominal!
    I am in love with the kitchen, just exquisite. I wanted to see the front door up close. It looks gorgeous from afar. I love the contrasting black and white front facade.
    The grey bathroom, kids? I want to paint with that color, it's gorgeous! It's warm and inviting. Like a hint of brown in the grey. Striking!
    I will go on; the driveway with the diamond pattern, the master closet-so dreamy, black trim throughout, the ash wood, with its beautiful grain, especially used as crown molding, amazing. The wood flooring, and tile throughout, ugh!
    Sorry, I couldn't stop😅, absolutely exquisite!
    You should be very proud. Not only did you save this beautiful home, but you get to live in this masterpiece!❤❤❤

    • @realmikethakur
      @realmikethakur  Місяць тому +3

      I actually liked the red brick color of the original house but as some of the brick was painted there was no going back.
      And yes, the gravel was for another home in the neighborhood but they just delivered more instead of picking it up!

    I was supposed to be going to bed but here we are almost a hour and a half later I remember seeing this house on the news so I became kind of invested in seeing how it went and I'll say it wasn't disappointing at all great job on bringing something that was thought to be lost back to life my favorite rooms are the master closet and the all black bathroom I would love to see the whole house once it's completely done and furnished
    I was wondering if you planned on doing a video on the cost breakdown and if it was worth it in the end?
    I'm surprised with how well this video was that the single videos you did didn't gain more traction

    • @realmikethakur

    I hate to say this and I'm probably going to cop it but that house before the fire had soo much class and character, the steel stair case, the steel balustrades and the way they curved at the top, the columns at the front the bathrooms and cornices, i could go on and on, it must of been absolutely beautiful, with all due respect i know you put in allot of hard work and money to get it to where it is now but its lost all that character and now just looks like a box

    • @realmikethakur
      @realmikethakur  Місяць тому +1

      @user-yf7rt2pz2u it’s a balancing act. Part of it is that I just like the modern, simple clean lines but another part is keeping it in balance with what else is being built around us. All the new houses here at this level are modern so if we built something traditional we’d lose equity for the future.

    @coasters_bgw 26 днів тому +11

    My opinion - it's very pretty, but it just doesn't have the charm it once did. I'm a sucker for retro mansions, and while it's beautiful, it would have looked better if you'd kept some of the old-fashioned chandeliers, railings, spiral staircases, etc. I know you don't think so, but that sort of thing really can fit into a modern mansion. I personally would have restored it to the colonial look, as that is honestly the style I prefer. By no means do I mean that it's ugly, it's a gorgeous mansion, but I far prefer the alternative.

    • @realmikethakur
      @realmikethakur  26 днів тому +3

      It’s ok! We know everyone’s taste is different. We wanted to try something modern and in that surrounding area, all the luxury homes are pretty much built that way so we had to think about value also compared to others. Maybe next time I’ll do a traditional style 😱😂

    • @vampy5071
      @vampy5071 23 дні тому +3

      I had the same thought, as I also loved the spiral staircase and the railings, the original columns, and those tall window arches 😊
      But I also love the modern minimalistic look, so yeah I would have gone with a blend of them both If I was a millionaire and could afford to ofcourse 😅

    • @realmikethakur
      @realmikethakur  21 день тому +2

      No worries! I'm good with folks liking some of the previous styling. We actually spent months trying to make the corned staircase work and even rebuilt it exactly the same, but there were other things at plat that ultimately made us abandon the idea.
