Come On-a My House - An Update on the Interior. Cedar Grove Restoration, Episode 7

[@Belle501]

It's wild how far it's come in the short time you've had it! It's gorgeous! I agree about the water stains. You were the best person for this house, Brian. I can't wait to see it come along. Your video skills this time were great. I felt like I was just walking around with a friend showing me their new house. Keep it up!

[@mararoy5274]

The way you are filming the tour is just fine. You have done great in arranging the furniture! Everything looks beautiful!

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

You are too tough on yourself. We love your videos and narration style. Its just amazing how much you've accomplished in such a short time. Before your followers know it, it'll be Christmas and we'll be dazzled all over again by your fabulous decorations.

[@terry3596]

I love the hallway - it's beautiful. The water stains are really distracting to the mural but just my opinion.

[@kathleenkearns2124]

I still can’t get over how you weren’t put off by this daunting undertaking! Obviously it’s a love story of a house❤ I’m really looking forward to your first Christmas in the new house, in the meantime I love all the progressive videos!!

[@AndrewSmith-yc6yt]

Not only is this man very handsome, i just love his videos as they are so natural

[@michaelmercurio2312]

That front hall just gets me every time. So beautiful❤

[@MariaRivera-dv9ib]

The house looks amazing! What’s crazy is you’re not there full time yet it looks as if you’ve been there every day, working non stop. What’s also great is how much the furniture just fits right in place, as if it was meant to be in that house. Love it!! Can’t wait for the next update.

[@Marie-lx3wg]

Hi Brian I love your tours even if you can’t work the camera! 😂 it’s good that you spanned slowly across the rooms so we could see it properly… don’t change a thing! I love the tours as they are. Your house is magnificent. Thank you from Sydney 🇦🇺🦋

[@janice7467]

Your videography is part of the charm. Gorgeous home, beautiful light (especially with the big tree down). I would love to know more of of its history.

[@deborahhamilton3092]

Yep, the dining room is still my favorite room…..just beautiful. The house has come together so well. Really enjoying following along.

[@marilynanthony5934]

Wow! It is looking so good. Your love for this house just shines through. It’s amazing how much you’ve done. Thanks for taking us along. 😊

[@sujonso]

When you love a house, it will eventually love you back. An old saying, maybe the ghost is pleased with you bringing back its original charm. Love seeing how you are restoring this gorgeous manor.

[@Thomas-v9n]

But Brian, your "mug" is so very handsome. 😊

[@shellyswt]

I never get tired of these. Everything is so beautiful and it’s just going to get better and better! Thank you for another tour. ❤

[@robertmckeown5741]

I look forward to your house history. Every time I see your grand hallway, I envision people in 19th century dress. It’s really the ballroom of your house.

[@sherryhayden7369]

How about some big blue vases on top of the armoire in the den. How ever what ever you do I know it will look good. I can’t get enough . I’m going to watch it again. I love everything

[@margaretbocklage4418]

So much done and even more exciting! Loving both out and inside. Thanks for sharing!!!❤

[@Crystal-f6e]

Love to see your house over and over again your elegant Style is so inspiring!! Keep doing it the way you are. It is so fun to hear you talk about everything and tells us the story. You are a wonderful storyteller!

[@claymccleery9451]

Red (valences) and green are complimentary colors. They 'could' work!😊 I've now toured your house twice, and it never get boring. I love it!

[@JoanneJaworski]

I had no idea that wallpaper could be restored until you said that was possible! I wouldn't ever be able to live with those water stains, when the restored wall looks soooo good (from what you showed) but then it's not my house! 😉

[@wesleyc1694]

I hope you realize the pottery you mentioned previously on KZbin On what I think was the very first house tour Anyway the pottery has been for sale on eBay and Etsy at very good prices

[@michalsmalley]

We like the mug. Don't hid the mug. I personally enjoy seeing how excited you are about this project.

[@claymccleery9451]

When I lived in Dallas, a ghost appeared at the foot of my bed it was August, the AC wasn't working, and I woke up freezing). I always wanted him to appear again, but he never did. Guess I passed muster!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

That water stain looks more like a bath tub tipped over? Beautiful paper! Good luck with the restoration!

[@karengambrel5346]

I love it all; you have exquisite taste. Christmas at Cedar Grove will be fabulous!

[@candacejohnson4357]

Brian you could be my best friend!!! You had me at hello!

[@candacejohnson4357]

And please keep the water stain!! Sooo much character! Th original border is wonderful!!

[@graceprindle5283]

I love your enthusiasm, and I am vicariously enjoying every new change and envisioning what it will look when done. Thank you!

[@travisfellmeth3722]

Two videos in one week?? We’re eating good tonight folks.

[@EPpMac]

Finally a you tuber that hears his audience, thank you for slowing down and taking time for us to see the rooms in your beautiful home. This is my first time watching your videos and I am intrigued and am a new subscriber:)

[@shirleystarling7300]

It’s such a gorgeous house can’t wait for the interior decorating to be started.

[@marcusmason3100]

TV solution: The chest of drawers in the upper hall goes into the den with the TV above it and the armoire in the den goes upstairs into the upper hall. PS It's really cool that you're from Shelby. My High school orchestra used to do a Spring Fling concert every year visiting back and forth between our high schools. Each of us would host a Shelby kid at our house like an exchange student. In Shelby. I remember we thought those rotating auditoriums at the Shelby high school were a wow factor.

[@dcole9589]

Brian, lovely Antebellum home. The English Colonial, Georgian, Philadelphia furnishings are spot on. Glad to see you are not stuffing the interiors with Victorian junk. Looking forward to viewing the Interiors as you move forward with your rewarding project.

[@patriciaheath1894]

Love the home tours….

[@HollandAbsher]

I love what you did to the library ..it's going to look fantastic once you get another book shelf..I love your home ..you have impeccable taste.....

[@rosemarysullivan6104]

This is fantastic. Keep up the videos. Everything looks great. Your furniture fits perfectly. Your video skills are great

[@loom1c]

How obsessive are you at polishing your silver as the bowl on the dining table and probably the candle sticks (too fast passed by), looks recently polished. And may I inquire of your choice of polish? Well, I asked anyway. As for the wall mural in the parlor, that big mud slide from above, just as a pipe-load of smoke from the chimney to stain and wallah ... who knows 😊 Love the silhouettes in the upper hallway. Nice 💛 Love the caneseated daybed in your bed chamber. Also, The painting in the quest room is a keeper ❤ The racing prints in the library are interesting. Purchased a reprint of a horseracing print of Madison Bay, Long Island. Scenes of yours are similar to mine. Do you know the location of your prints? As for hiding your ugly (?) face, while I enjoyed tour, also enjoy seeing person speaking 🗣 🔊 Thanks for sharing. Having lived as a curator in an historical house,l (6years), I am enjoying the restoration.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

The original wallpaper border you show reminds me somewhat of ‘Orbes Directoire border’ by Adelphi Paper Hangings. I bet they could replicate your border perfectly. The new kitchen lights look great - I love your choice. Thank you for this updated interior tour- I really enjoyed it!

[@naomiweaver1855]

Wonderful!! I hope you’re going to keep the light fixture in the library (and in the library). It’s bronze? The dark color looks really great there, and as a counterpoint to the federalist, chippendale pieces. Not crazy about the coffee table in that room.

[@DebiParisi]

Thanks for sharing! Excited to see what you do for Christmas. Always love seeing your work and updates

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

Great tour, can’t wait for history,be glad I am not there ,I have so many questions …..I will spare you Now .I appreciate your interest in doing this Right. This is not a race to get everything done,hopefully it will be an adventure. It’s your Home,do what you love Thanks 🍃🌿

[@marieschmidt9416]

I vote to save your money and do NOT restore that old wall border paper...it is ugly. Instead, spend the money on bathroom updates and all the many plans you have for the house. That said, the house interior is gorgeous. Love the new lights in the kitchen, furniture, etc etc.

[@RobA-M-d9b]

Hey Brian, not having any problems with 'the mug', just to let you know. This is a fabulous house! The scale of the rooms and detail on the fireplace surrounds are just wonderful. The great hall is stunning. Surprised that you didn't talk much about the fanlight and sidelights--they take my breath away. Curious, what the model is on the fireplace mantle in the den? It reminds me of my 18th century brick dorm at my college in Maine. I would be interested in its story. As an architect, scale models are eye candy for me. Many thanks...

[@pear_jules4013]

The checkerboard floor, is it vinyl or something else? I love the look. Consider salvaging the trim on the valances if possible. I think you could find an amazing way to reuse them if only on pillows.

[@ehta01]

I agree about the wallpaper stains - I wouldn't try to remove them, even if you could; it's part of the house's history. Also, the unconnected room you use as a study could also have been a "parson's room" for travelling preachers - don't want THEM in the house :)

[@jeffreywest9474]

The porch looks so much better! Very smart. Hey Brian would you consider adding a powder room/half bath downstairs - thinking of mom and guest. Victoria🌹

[@lilly3628]

How about the T.V. in the library? Build your book case around it. Just a thought.Thanks for posting. Nice to see you.

[@christineadamkowski8412]

Just love all your videos! The house is coming along very quickly. Love the bedding in your bedroom along with all the decor and beautiful furniture throughout the home. Was the bedding a one of a kind find or could you tell us where to find it?? I look forward to the house history in any format you choose. FYI- your filming is just fine. Genuine!

[@AMRitts]

Your house is looking wonderful. You have a splendid eye for decoration and furniture arrangement. Years ago, I worked for the curator at Biltmore House. It occurred to me, when you were speaking about painting the original spaces: will you have the walls and ceilings painted with a brush? I hope so! This is the only appropriate method.

[@kokeshidoll5863]

The smaller water stains do add some character, but that giant one to the right of the fireplace is just a big distraction and screams "water stain". That's where your attention is drawn instead of to the beautiful wallpaper. You wouldn't hang draperies with water stains, or leave water stains on the ceiling. It should go! Yuk!

[@johnroche9804]

I love your videos. The house is amazing and I cannot believe how much you have accomplished in the short time - truly beautiful. I cannot wait to see what you do for Christmas because your last home was exquisitely decorated for the holidays. Thank you so very much for sharing this journey with all of us again it is truly amazing what you have accomplished. Take care and God bless you.

[@bethgaither1214]

First: thank you so much for restoring your home without ripping out and discarding the original character. I am shocked and saddened to see so many people doing just that with no respect and zero knowledge. I love your home and would love to pick your brain! Question: While the house is still in the reconstruction phase, why not add insulation to all sides? Doesn't insulation not only keep the warmth in but the heat out? My grandfather was on the construction crew of Colonial Williamsburg and worked on the Palace, Raleigh Tavern and the Capitol. I guess that's where I get my love of all things old, or at least made to look old. Thank you again!

[@tigerswin2532]

Many homes in rural South Carolina had a sleeping porch room. It could be for travelers. My ancestors had one in their house and the story was it was for the traveling preachers who would preach a circuit. A group of rural churches or sometimes “under the grapevine “ service. This was probably the most prominent family in the church.

[@hayeslong2277]

When in doubt please leap through. The foyer looks wonderful, especially with the pop of those chartreuse lamps. Are they Christopher Spitzmiller? You have done an excellent job with hanging all the art throughout the house. Can’t wait to see what you option to do for future window treatments. I would love to see a segment where you discuss why certain pieces spoke to you. Speaking of speaking, the ghost is probably content that someone is protecting her home.

[@doyeworrell1680]

I always enjoy your updates, shaking or moving camera doesn’t bother me. 😊. I just love the layout of the house, the entry hallway, the fireplaces, even the water damaged wallpaper. I know it will take time but you will have the home of your dreams when this all comes together.

[@gina5827]

Thank you for another tour of your home. I love seeing and hearing the little stories. It is a huge undertaking, but so worth all the hard work, and money. 😉🤑 I'm already looking forward to the next tour/updates. 😊

[@EverydayThriftGarden]

I love everything you have done so far to the house and by the way, I did not know you were from Shelby NC, I live in Gastonia NC. If you dont mind I would like to make a suggestion, the room with the water damaged wallpaper I noticed in one corner where the light was shining on the wall it made it look like a sunrise/sunset type glow. So...... after re-watching the segment a few times I wonder about what if you went and painted just the sky of the wallpaper like a sunset/sunrise and leave the rest of the wallpaper as is. It would brighten the room and I think give it a special glow.

[@wesleyc1694]

This is a beautiful home n project Are you enjoying the South

[@MissAimie]

Love it! Perhaps you could keep the valance in the downstairs bedroom and recover it to match the bedding(?).

[@jamesallison4875]

Keep us updated!!! The mosquitoes are terrible in NC as well. What would happen if you put the Federal mirror over the mantle? I’m not fond of the austere gentleman there now. Love the bird on the little secretary. Don’t you find it odd to have a bedroom adjacent to the entrance hall? Wondering if the glass on the sides of the front door is original. They’re not as attractive as the beautiful fan light. Get that ac in! It’s essential for our part of the world. Oh, and the loss of the enormous tree is a great improvement. Later!

[@PaulaShoaf]

Brian , I could tour your home over and over taking it all in Love it !! I wish you could share where and/or how you find all of you treasurers !! I hope you had a lovely visit with your Mom ! Have a great weekend ! Paula p.s. have you lost weight ?? Looking great !

[@carrielassiter8455]

Can’t wait to see the dining room painted. Would you consider taking the mantle back to dark wood, but painting everything else, including all other wood detail?

[@marklevine57]

Mr Brandon these videos are fantastic!! I have a question regarding the paper room. Have you done a complete photo study of that room ?

[@sflesner7195]

Another interesting video. Thank you for preserving such a beautiful house and its surroundings.

[@jackiestamp1]

I love watching you put this beautiful together. It looks amazing!

[@huckcampbell5789]

Hey Mr Brian. We can never tire of seeing your gorgeous home. The architecture itself is wonderful but then you take it to a whole new level with your beautiful collections and eye for detail. You understand how to decorate in the classical way ! You must just love it every time you come home. Have you had a chance to do some formal dinners ? Would love to see your table settings ! The library is adorable and I love that you have one token ocean liner picture ! Just love you and being a part of you living your best life !

[@pharesk7508]

Loved your Homeworthy tour. So glad I found this channel. Excited to see what you do for Christmas. ❤

[@pear_jules4013]

I’d love if you would do a video about your art pieces on the walls. We’re getting glimpses of, but I’d love to see them close up and hear your stories about them. ❤

[@keithj3223]

PS: I think the library would be a good place for TV on wall with boxes, console under.

[@scottiemom7973]

Preservation Peach or Laine and Kevin The Restoration Nation might know someone in your area to help with your windows.

[@JohnGrigger]

Brian, although it is nice to see your face so we know who is the lucky one to be restoring this mansion, the video is so much more watchable when the rooms and exterior views are not 25-35% obscured by you!

[@sandystafford5845]

Its amazing how much work you have accomplished in such a short time. I enjoyed the tour and would love to hear the history of the house anyway you present it. I have the same hanging light in my recieving hall that you have in your library. We had it refurbished a few years ago and its one of my favorites.

[@kelco64]

I think this is a magnificent house! I agree, I love the water stains. It’s part of it now, and honestly, it’s a great talking point. I want to see more as you progress. Love it!

[@claudiamann7111]

Great tour. Could you please tell us more about the furniture and art?? Everything looks great. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@elizabethsolomon2864]

Were there exterior doors in the living rm and dining rm? Do they open onto a porch or the portico? Am looking forward to your history vid of the house. Thank you for the tour. Always interesting to hear your plans.

[@keithj3223]

Brian! Love the update video! Now you will think of my comment 5 times a day when you go to the refrigerator with a left side opening door. They are designed to change the hinge side. But alas, add that to the one million things you have on your list.

[@bigboy77dk]

I actually really love the style and colour of the window treatments in the diningroom😊

[@johnbourke2778]

In England and Ireland those wooden fireplaces were traditionally painted, that dinning room would look wonderful in red farrow and ball have a very good one

[@elainekoska4007]

It will all look beautiful, don’t rush, it will be amazing once it is done.

[@charless2951]

I enjoy seeing your face in the videos keep making videos❤ love, The Home give me!!

[@luckylindysoverfifty]

You are doing a great job I think if you put pictures up and spoke over them it would be very interesting. I love watching what ever you do, and am glad you are not being bothered by your ghost any longer! My ghost has been very quiet I am wondering if it is the heat😂

[@judyfrancis999]

You really are doing a nice job on arranging your wall art. The heights, groupings, area coverage are pleasing to the eye.

[@artdeve8979]

Love everything. Everything's coming together. Very nice.❤

[@richaelblewett5068]

Lol, I love that song by Rosemary Clooney! I read a long time ago that she didn't like the song and did not want to record it.

[@larrynelson3329]

Beautiful house. Your tour of it is just fine. I wouldn't change a thing.

[@myhappynest6125]

Thanks for a great tour and for standing mostly behind the camera even though you are a very handsome man😍

[@elizabethsummers4696]

Just love every video & every update! Keep them coming ❤❤❤

[@toddhupp]

nice serapis in your hall.the cleaning lady must have caught hell over the wall paper

[@willharbin]

Gorgeous. Agree on the wallpaper - the water stains give it character.

[@lindaortolano7837]

Hi Brian! So nice to see you again so soon!! I just love all the rooms in your home! I actually reminisce what it must have been like back in the day with the original owners walking about. This home is so grand, and I love all the furniture you have in it! The beds are beautiful, and the dining room table and chairs look beautiful! I agree with you and love the kitchen! I think you are really making progress! I look forward to your next update and hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs! :)

[@claymccleery9451]

I have "Mary Chestnut's Civil War", by the way.

[@roseflower3434]

Do you have plaster walls? And if so, any moisture issues?

[@arleneg1271]

Well of course I want you to go slow so I can see all the details. I love the horse doorstop! So unique.

[@oscarkingsbury5032]

Are you going to keep the beige plastic light switches or swap them out for brass?

[@janeharden1163]

ooooo boy! i love your videos! 😊 the water stains are part of the house’ story. leave them!

[@MERIDETH-u8r]

I love this, Brian. It is just wonderful.

[@Texastimbo]

It is going to be beautiful! I love your antiques.

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

These videos are always so fun to watch. 👍🏼💕

[@joanmacdowell4457]

Could the TV be put on a cart in the closet and then rolled out?

[@joanmacdowell4457]

I agree, stains give the wallpaper character!
