- Greetings from Fairfield and welcome to our first episode!
We bought a cheap old house on the internet and have been in our 1896 Victorian Queen Anne for a couple of years now.
But we were not really sure where to start with our channel and videos.
So here is a little introduction of how we found the house,
a quick little walk through and a handful of projects on our plate.
On a side note we've done alot of house history research here and have lots to share with you in future episodes. There's one reference in this video to a wallpaper project I did and show a photo of Magician Doug Henning for fun.
But Its also rumored he tried to buy this house in the 1980s when he lived here in Fairfield, Iowa.
Appreciation and restoration of these beautiful Victorians is so wonderful. Thank you for the tour, this home is STUNNING.
You bought a historical treasure!
What a stunning architecture. ❤
What does One do with a House that Huge? Heaven only Knows but it's Beautiful! ❤
Incredible house!!! Here in NE IA in a 1898 Victorian, love them, too. So glad some idiot didn't paint the eoodwork.
What a stunning house and so many original details! I can't wait to see more.
This house is amazing! I mean once you get done restoring this old girl.... she's beautiful now, can't wait to see the projects after they're done!
great insert from Ghostbusters
What a beautiful home! I went to college in Oakaloosa and lived in the area for a decade. I maintain that Iowa has the best people but the weather, not so much. You are truly the best custodians of this gem of a house.
Wow!! What a house. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I could definitely live here.😊🎉❤
Beautiful home with gorgeous wood work but oh so many projects 😂.
ART THROUGH AND THROUGH! 😍
OMG, growing up we used to drive by the "purple house" in Fairfield all the time and I dreamed about owning it. So jealous.
I love every space…what a gift t9 have to style lasting and being appreciated and preserved
Greetings from back in (Eastern) Oregon. I just subscribed. I too live in a Victorian house, though not near as fine as your own. It's like the original owners said, 'build us a Queen Anne, but don't make it too fancy'. We've been here 20 years and we love it. Enjoy your lovely "project"! You will never regret saving that fine piece of history.
I love the piano music in the background. And the house is absolutely stunning!
The detail is amazing! I got to take piano lessons here as a child with Mrs. Sloca. This house is Fairfield famous and I love seeing it being cared for even though there are endless projects. Thank You for sharing.
My Grandpa and his brother managed a movie theatre in Fairfield back in the late 1920’s. I still have the picture of them standing outside it.
If you would like to share I would absolutely love to see that photograph email is jamesabeckhouse@gmail.com
You are some lucky people. I would have bought it too. Love it
Wow you are so lucky to have that beautiful and awesome home. Enjoy.
What an Amazing House! God Bless your projects :)
Omg beautiful. Looking forward to watching all the projects!!!
Thank you
A stunning nightmare,endless!
I know this is hudge deal for you guys.. but wow 🤩 congratulations and God bless you!!!
Wood hardeners will work for some projects and save money and further damage.
The one fireplace with the arched mantel, looks like it came from a Brunswick bar
Such craftmanship! Thank you for restoring this magnificent house!
Love the way you have produced this video so different from the others out there you ve got me hooked so give you a sub and looking forward to see what you do to this gorgeous place 🧡
What a beautiful home! New subscriber here!! ❤
IT IS BEAUTIFUL. JUST SUBBED, CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT
Paint for wood used to be natural like milk based paint or lime based paint made with natural pigments. The kind that turns to a powdery dust over time. The type that allowed moisture to dry out.
Modern acrylic and even oil based paint traps and holds moisture next to the wood and eventually causes rot. Wood needs to be able to breathe.
Beautiful home in Fairfield. There are lots of wonderful old homes there. I like that little town. It's chock full of interesting, colorful, progressive people along with the run of the mill midwestern types.
STUNNING HOUSE! Tell us about it. When was it built? What does the kitchen look like? Can you give us a tour?
It was built in 1896 and will do tour video(s) soon. Including one for the kitchen
I just joined your channel to watch all the projects 😊
Thank you
And so it begins.....
Wow❤
And a Secret Library? SHUT. UP. 😍
Thanks for the entertaining video. The fretwork is amazing. It makes us miss the Mooreland House and we will enjoy living vicariously through your projects for a while. =)
Thanks wow ok how much do want God Bless your Home
Nice house. The player piano music in the background, however...
So you bought the house before this 'crisis' ?? Nice!
Wow ! beautiful house ! thank you for sharing ! could you please tell me the name of the music you used for this video ? Thanx again !
It was just a generic piano track in capcut
They might want to consider using epoxy on the base those pillars
Hmmm looks like they forgot the primer 😂
It would appear that's the case
This is clearly a George F. Barber design. I love the original detail - please, oh please don't paint any of the woodwork!!
Yes it's a Barber design no. 27 we did a short video a few uploads back on him
5 minutes in and I have to mute the sound. That goddam piano loop is driving me nuts.
Great original interiors. Unattractive gray exterior. Now you have a project to work on for the next 40 years.
🤣 We are still finding our footing thanks for the feedback.
@JamesABeckHouse
Good luck, you guys.
You have a real gem.
Music is annoying
We are still finding our footing thanks for the feedback.
