A tour of my 1940's *inspired* house!

[@FiggysMeemaw]

I absolutely love your home, thank you for sharing a very personal space. Just lately with all of what is happening in this country I am withdrawing into my home and decorating it in a much more vintage fashion, I think it’s a reaction to the outside world to try and recapture a feeling of safety and peace, I love the 1940s era so your content is very comforting.

[@athenathegreatandpowerful6365]

Me too. Bizarre concept, the World has gone mad enough that living in a literal warzone is calming. Periodically I'll be home alone and put the Air Raid siren KZbin video on. Just to add in some realism. I generally last about 10 minutes. I think I'm giving myself PTSD 😮.

[@westaussie965]

Labour are determined to fill this country with more Muslims, just waiting for them to come to our village, so I hear ya.

[@debcomly2481]

Me too !!

[@WinsomeWinslet]

We're doing the same thing! And listening to 40s music to add to the vibe!

[@marielaortiz611]

Tambien yo....amo la decada de los 40 " con todo lo que eso incluye ...ropa .carteras decoracion ..musica

[@kathleenorr9237]

I can imagine coming home on a rainy autumn night and getting snug and cosy. It’s so welcoming ❤

[@joannc147]

My mother was a young housewife in the early 1940’s. She had an odd comment that wallpaper was SO cheap that she would wallpaper rooms every two years or so.. I just love the COZY you’ve created. Mint green kitchen. Of course! That cooker will never ever die….best 16 pounds you could ever spend! I treasure my few antiques from 1750-1810 and my parents mahagony bedroom set from 1938. Gosh, I see KZbin videos of people in huge houses with white sterile design and NO personality. Brava to you for being nostalgic. I enjoyed the tour, thank you!

[@flowrangel7763]

Your home must be a dream ma'am, I agree with your opinion on lifeless homes. I'm a young housewife, 18, and we have our 1936 home with a wood fireplace, breadpan ceilings, and crystal doorknobs- I love it so much. Everything here was so easy for us to afford because we love the theifted and old things. My kitchenware is even old. I love nostalgic homes. My dad was so happy to see it, he said it reminded him of his childhood home. My grandpa in law was in love as well, it reminded him of his grandma's house. Thanks for sharing ma'am

[@debbieharman1160]

Oh wow I'm in love,especially the kitchen because you kept the pantry,thank god someone left that's not ripping the heart and souls out of these lovely houses,I'd kill for a pantry ,loved the whole vibe 🤗🌷⭐

[@jacqueline8559]

My mum had a huge pantry in her house. I'd love to have a house with one, too. Everyone thinks it's innovative to have open plan kitchen, lounge, dining rooms. I've got a separate kitchen and much prefer it. I'd hate guests to see us cooking, with pans and dishes everywhere. Plus, I have a sofa in there and like to be left in peace! ALL these open plan homes are just boring, to me ,now. They're all the same!! I have my kitchen, dining room, then 2 separate lounges. It means our sons can have friends around, and we can all be 'doing our own thing' in peace. This house is interesting, but I'm much more minimalist in my personal style. Enjoyed watching this though

[@jennifers5560]

I am impressed that this was recorded in one continuous video with no cuts! Thanks for sharing your lovely house with us.

[@edanabrown9061]

Feels more authentic that way… not edited and over-produced.

[@Elwene2fr]

It's too bad the sound is so awful though. But I do like that there is no cuts.

[@Vb-fy4sv]

I really enjoyed your tour you speak very eloquently and you can see the love you have for the 1940s vintage ,it brought back memories of my nanna s house I’m 72 now and I can remember the old pantry and the cooker and all the old tins stacked so neatly she also had a Belfast sink,thank you for bringing back such happy memories of somethings I forget to think about these days …

[@littlelilly93]

This reminds me so much of my grandma’s house. It was just like this but after she passed, it was modernised and it was never the same again. Thank you for bringing back some amazing memories 💜

[@clarebowers1079]

H my goodness!!!! I don't know why but that fairy liquid bottle is so nostalgic. I nearly cried with warmth and joy in my heart remembering my dear Gran and the smell of washing dishes as she wore her apron. Beautiful memories. Love your house. Dream. 🏡❤️🌻😍🕊️💖

[@jasonbarron3047]

i have one under my sink you can have it if you want it and you live anywhere near leeds

[@andi8717]

The lights weren't centered on ceilings because they often placed them closer to windows to help give privacy instead of shadows. It also offered various light levels throughout the room so people could use it as needed instead of everything being underneath a bright light. I've heard it can help with changing the appearance of room size too. The floor stencils were noted around early 1800s, I believe.

[@julieannecarlson6507]

I stenciled my bedroom in the 1990s. A book I had did mention it was a cheap way to decorate in the 1930s. 😊

[@bjrnh.1074]

The ceiling-decoration is not centered in smaller flats/houses, because they were meant to hold the lightning of the room - typically over a table, or they were off-cantered to avoid people from hurting their heads entering the room, as they usually are the place were the main lamp is fastened to the ceiling.

[@justpde]

Thank you for this info. I wondered why the 1930's house I bought in 2003 has a room in which the ceiling light was in a corner near the windows. Thought it was stupid....LOL. However, previous owners covered up the wall switch under wallpaper. I removed that, and had the light centered on the ceiling. Interesting discovery!!

[@dcarbs2979]

These particular floor stencils look arts & crafts / art nouveau era (e.g. William Morris). It looks like they've gone in and out of fashion many times over the last 200 years!

[@deepoole820]

You have made a wonderful home, thank you for this uplifting video.

[@jiujitsukitty9319]

I wish there were more young people like you❤

[@annemcgrory449]

I remember growing up in a house like yours in the 50s it took me back to my childhood and yes I did shed a tear, it was so wonderful to see i am so pleased you kept the pantry evey home had one back then which included a marble slab to keep meat,cheese, milk and alsorts of homemade dessert, thank you so much for your enthusiasm enthusiasm in showing us your beautiful home best wishes Annie.

[@melissaskinner2199]

This is so inspirational! I am in the US but have a similar dream for my home. I love how your garden (we call it a yard in the states) is so private and cozy. Even if the yard is fenced in, it never feels this way in the US, probably partly to do with the fact that a lot of yards where I live are quite large and feel overly open/exposed. Thanks for sharing your lovely house! ❤

[@Daisyandchlo]

What a lovely job of making it look cosy and with a 1940s feel. I'd love to do the vintage look in this old 1900 terraced house we live in.

[@lilykatmoon4508]

What an absolutely lovely home you have! That kitchen is ❤out of this world! I loved the bold colors you have scattered in the home. That yellow in the bathroom is enchanting and the green in your mom’s room is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@cheflexi3781]

Congratulations! Its lovely. There is something so wonderful about a home very purposefully put together by the family in it. Cozy, unique and much loved!

What a beauty!! The details, the love, the cherish of the old stuff, definitely a stunning house❤

[@claremccowan3484]

I am so happy to have found you. I live in a small cottage built by Brunel in around 1853. I am struggling with how to decorate and live in the space. Your home has given me so many ideas of how I can give my home the love it deserves. Thank you again for sharing your home.

Love your home. Trying to change my (1999) home to a vintage 1940s cottage looks . Yours is Very cozy and warm. Your quilt is amazing. ❤

[@kabernat]

I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful vintage home tour! I especially loved the tiny bathroom decor, the kitchen and the outdoor seating area sanctuary. I think you’ve done a very lovely job decorating your home. I personally live in a home that was built in 1948 so the homes in this era were quite small, dainty and delightful 🌷🌷🌷🌟🌷✨✨🌼🌼

[@princessdumbarton9877]

I like that the books are in a bookshelf facing the right way instead of being used as decorations. It looks like someone might actually read one.

[@heatherva]

How else do people store them?

[@princessdumbarton9877]

@@heatherva In a lot of these videos people just use books as decorations. They will put them in bookshelves with the bound end facing the inside and the loose pages facing outward which seems absurd because then how would they know what book it was. But I suppose it doesn't matter because they are just using books as decorations. Or they will stack them up and put vases of flowers or plants on top of them where they can be damaged by water and dirt. Or worst of all, they will cut pictures out of books to frame or use in projects. It just shows that they don't value the books as things to read but only as decor. Books are to read in my opinion.

[@petramarkovinovic745]

Maybe they just Like cleaner look of it or they don’t want people to know what they are reading/interested in …

[@heatherva]

@@princessdumbarton9877 thats crazy, even if I was using books as decor, the spines are the prettiest part, not the pages lol

[@The.meadows]

I store my modern books backwards as the spines and covers have clashing colours and styles, especially clashing in my vintage home. I do read them I just look for the one I want…it’s not really hard to understand why people would do this

[@Thesignarizzler123]

[@stellap7624]

I was born in 1958 and I remember a lot of the stuff in your house we couldn't wait to get rid of and move on to more modern things. But I can see a need for cozy comfort and chilled out spaces in this too fast a pace World. Less clutter would look better I think. I'm sure it will affect different people in different ways, it made me feel sad, when I thought it would make me feel happy. I'm glad it makes you happy. Maybe it triggered memories of missing people long gone. Like my Grandmas.

[@berlinmiller4617]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I appreciate your style and taste, and I enjoy that bygone era, too. I am in the western United States, but I am an anglophile, and recently discovered a term I think is my style, British farmhouse, which I envision looks like something from the original 1970's series, "All creatures, great and small", which was set around the '40's or '50's, I believe, can't quite recall. Thank again for bringing your warmth and style to an era that needs to remember and preserve the good parts from the past.

[@christineh4427]

I believe the TV series was filmed in Grassington, Yorkshire in N England. From an English woman living + working in NY for past 7yrs

[@TheAnglophileChronicles]

I absolutely adored watching "All Creatures.." Such a fun show that gave us a glimpse into how people in England lived during the 1930s. I believe they have a remake now.

It would be my dream to turn my house into a 1940's home but every time I buy something vintage my son who lives with me has a moan. He is more for a minimalist home. I love charity shop hunting and buy ornaments that are from about the 1940's they have so much character and so many stories to tell. I love your dolls house, I have a vintage dolls house and I've been filling it with vintage furniture. Your pigeon mansion is fantastic........I watch the video of your feathered family this morning.

[@KatieRae_AmidCrisis]

I have a memory of learning from somewhere that the off-centre overhead light thing was something to do with the idea that people outside wouldn't be able to see into the room so clearly if the light was closer to the window... Which... I'm pretty sure is not how that works...

100% right ❤

[@georgia_ros]

​@@KatieRae_AmidCrisis I remember being told this too when I asked about the light placement in my childhood home.
