The curtains were perfect! They should've won imo.

[@phillipstroll7385]

Agreed! The hardest most difficult project of the entire venture was making curtains. The rest was only made difficult by their own pompous attitudes.

Does anyone else squeal life a fangirl when a new episode gets uploaded? 😁

[@dbulmannz]

Yes absolutely

[@LilGrasshopper]

I honestly teared up I was so happy

[@vanessa2d898]

Yes inside

[@tamaragerasimova2405]

Sure,and very loud!

I'm usually way late seeing these, but I have to say this series is so charming and I would LOVE love love to participate in something like this - not that I can claim any artistry like these folks! Amazing people, all of them.

“The Owl and the Pussy Cat” was the first recitation I ever memorized, at 3-4 years old. My extended family used to pay me $1 to recite it for people. I now recite it to my own children. It feels like it is “mine.” Definitely special to me. ❤️ 🦉 🐈

[@pahanjayasooriya2513]

I actually think the plates are OK, yes they didn't work out but they put their hearts in to making them

[@lauragb3677]

Outstanding! I love this content.

[@robertgreen1131]

Hello 👋. How are you doing today ?

[@LisaNH934]

Love this! Thank you for sharing 🤗 "Bread and Roses" great song too 💗 always gives me chills.

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

The Curtains were Divine and I would love to decorate a whole room around them!!!! The Metal Fire Dogs were beautiful but he had help and would not have turned out like they did without it

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

Poor Steven, I'm just waiting for something to go right for him for once.

[@nautifella]

I love this series. I am in the process of remodeling my home in Arizona and this show has given me many great ideas. I have amassed quite a collection of _Victorian Decorating_ books and I will proceed with one room, one piece at a time. I've got the rest of my life, right?

[@mihonaito2338]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video now that when I used to study Art history in my Art Student, the design from the nature was emphasized and I understand how to apply in my daily life.

[@ShellyS2060]

This was great! Well done all.

[@robertgreen1131]

Hello Shelly How are you doing today ?

[@lydiasanders9255]

I think Abby and Steven are my favorite people they have great personalities

[@BreconD2]

Charming authentic British folk so emblematic of the 19th in this heart warming historic doco...

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist4052]

In Appreciation for all you do!

[@MegJoyePhoto]

Love this series! Anyone have book recs about the Arts and Crafts movement?

[@daviddupoise6443]

I thought the curtains won hands down.

Hello 👋 How are you doing..?

[@G_Robb]

Yes, the curtains were perfect!

[@lisababy7571]

@@G_Robb So where are you from ?

[@ithoughtyouknew7036]

Where your pottery peices are placed in the kiln matter. The color of the glaze will be impacted by the placement. Knowing what elements are in the glaze is important so you know where to place it.

[@kathyc.2628]

It's right that the fireplace decor won. Curtains, people can do. It doesn't have to be cliche wins and words all the time.

[@randyromines7364]

I took pottery in college, we had both manual and electric wheels. I much preferred the manual, it was easier to control.

[@amandakruger3710]

Yay I'm so glad for the new video.

[@TintinFanTintinfan234]

I love this series , it makes me so happy

[@janmoore6340]

Believe they expect a bit much in 1 week. Kinda kills the joy in the process...

[@dtschuor459]

Yes!

[@msjrockqueen2011]

Does anyone else think that maybe this show should've been released every other week, so the participants could've gotten plenty of rest, given how difficult some of these were to make?

[@JKM395]

If you're watching the playlist, the order you're looking for is: 2, 3, 1, 4. Have a nice day, and happy watching.

[@BloodSweatandFears]

I must say I have quite the crush on Steven lol but love this series so cool.

I fell in love with him too

The FED has lost it and the sad fact is, it's pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can't afford to feed their families, things might get ugly

[@travis4178]

Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading.

[@mortenbolin7481]

Speaking of bitcoin trading..... it's the best right now, I know a couple of friends who makes profits in the financial markets

[@irinaspencer8386]

@Lydia Thank you for this, Will definitely reach out to him. Thanks again 😊😊

[@lindseylamar1990]

Wow! Nicely said indeed no doubt Mr Philip McCarthy is the best step to take following the current situation of the world economy, I have never believed in Bitcoin or crypto currency in all, but this has been a life changing encounter today!

[@leeann8091]

The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mr Philip McCarthy I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success

[@ChrisVDS5]

I think I might have missed a week. It says they've been together for 2 weeks already, but I only saw the first episode. I'm subscribed, with all notifications. Please could you put them in a playlist so that I can find them all? It's impossible to find specific episodes by just going to your page.

[@LumiSisuSusi]

I believe so. It looks like this is episode 3. I have watched the first one which was the lounge I believe, but I've not seen the bedroom episode.

[@CGI_Andy]

the second episode is about the bedroom. here is the full title so you can find it: "How To Design A Victorian Bedroom | Victorian House | Absolute History"

I may not be a fan of Morris's politics, but I love his artistic mind and creations. It's classic.

[@anvakathazit1102]

Ooo im early! 3rd comment too!

[@willboudreau1187]

You're dead wrong honey, ending social inequality IS NOT a good idea. Why? Because it always, Always, ALWAYS requires authoritarianism.

[@pistonburner6448]

Futile to try to tell socialists what reality is. All the teachings of world history 100% consistently smacking them in the face with the truth of what happens just closes their minds even more. All that misery, suffering, horror they've caused doesn't bother them one little bit. All those societies ruined, peoples' lives destroyed and thrown into squalor: they don't care one little bit. They only care about their own greed, the fulfillment of their ignorant narcissism. The human mind is very limited, has so many flaws in its thought processes.

[@M123Xoxo]

Thankfully we have you to mansplain it for us!

[@venus_as_a_boi2278]

I absolutely love this series!! Super cool idea and the artists involved are all really talented!

[@emieve617]

Curtains won hands down! I could absolutely see them in my own home! It would be good if you could link the crafters so that we could see their personal work! 🙌🏻😊

I swear that little red headed judge guy is a descendent of Danny Kaye. He's the living spit and he has the same nose!!

[@allybrown3258]

Anyone else feel like the curtains were the best thing in the room and the song stuck in your head

[@dtschuor459]

Anyone else think the schedule of one week to conceive and produce an original design inspired by historical art movement is a bit brutal? Maybe I’m just not that naturally creative…I mean, definitely I’m not that naturally creative 😂😮

[@gemstonesparkle7915]

Finally the judges took a decision I agreed this week.

[@Selena-gz9ts]

Are they supposed to spin with the heat of the fire? I'm not sure why the curtains didn't win?

[@ohrabbits]

I'm just starting to view this video. I'm hoping it won't wind up like those shows where the intent seems to be to terrorize the hapless owners, who wind up with shockingly bad interiors.

[@annahackman2539]

I've watched a few like this and they don't terrorize their people. Challenge, yes. When someone gets overwhelmed, they do send in an expert to help or redirect them.

[@ohrabbits]

@@annahackman2539 No wonder they send in experts. Those tasks were hard! My favorites were the pieces of pottery, even though they were damaged. The colors in the curtains didn't quite hit the mark. Niether did the fire dogs. Having all those round brass elements be the same size was unfortunate. The old designers wouldn't have done it. That said, they all did a great job with their difficult tasks.

[@tinacox9015]

i found it very boring im sorry

[@G_Robb]

Lol! At least you're honest, and polite. I actually ff through a lot and only watched the actual crafting and the finished products.
