Maybe a little place in the country where you can have a few animals, or grow a beautiful garden, or just relax and unwind from the world?

This amazing historic Creole farmhouse has been completely restored to the highest standards. All of it's incredible original features have been retained, from the 200 year old wavy glass to the hand planed tongue and groove ceiling. Stepping into this home is truly like stepping back into time. Not only is the architecture regional and fascinating, you also have the opportunity to explore and learn about the fascinating Creole culture only found in this area of the US.

That kitchen light is just gorgeous. I wish more modern homes used classic lighting in them like this. I like that the restorer didn't use a lot of hanging lights in the house to light the house, too. It looks like they rely on the house's natural light and a lot of lamps to light the house, and that feels so much more unique and special in my opinion. Love the armoires in the bedrooms, too. Those are beautiful! And a perfect way to add storage without building over what's already there.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I have a solid brass double lamp that was converted to electric like thst. A little more scroll work and doesn’t have the globes,, but candle-like lights and shades or new globes would be fine. Nobody wants to buy here. All that 18th and 19th century furniture like is in it I have nobody wants it. Im in western NC in smokies. I need to find homes for things so my kids don’t have to deal with it. I’ve downsized the last 10 , almost 11 years since I lost my husband. Spent a lifetime of collecting and been trying to purge it. Beautiful home. I was surprised by the price!

[@AmynAL]

This is one of my favorites! It is just beautiful but livable. The owner has taken great care to preserve the home but also to make it easy to enjoy. Love it!

[@gloriasears9798]

What an amazing job these people did on this lovely gracious home. I love it when people fill old homes with antique furniture. Theirs is over the top--I was foaming at the mouth looking at it all. (I am an antique dealer) I so enjoy learning from Laine's extensive knowledge of architecture. You're a good teacher!

[@Elenihellas963]

What a fabulous restoration job done! Nothing comes closer to my taste! A dream property for me , being greek , ah, too exotic! Treat it with love and respect, it is one of a kind ...❤🙏

[@opus27no2]

I have driven by this home for years and it has always fascinated me. I knew it was early, like, early early. This makes me so happy to see that it has been allowed to live appropriately with so much original characteristics and features. I am in love with all that hand hewn lumber!

[@jefflawrentz1624]

This was a treat! What a gorgeous property. It’s a gem! I loved everything about this home. Absolutely in my top 3 favorite places you have shown. Thank you, Laine!

[@davidluesebrink4659]

I toured OAK ALLEY in 1984 my ❤ skips a beat when I see or hear anything about OAK ALLEY!!! Have you been there? I believe I was a poor child who wanted to live in the big magnificent house in a past life!!! I bought a picture book as a teenager called GHOSTS OF THE MISSISSIPP filled with photos of old plantations succumbing to nature. I was drawn to the big plantation houses I don't know why!I wish a very Merry Christmas to you both!!!!!

[@OurRestorationNation]

We have been there. So many great things to see down river road.

[@philliplayne102]

I'm Scots-Irish from East Tennessee, but I LOVE these simple Louisiana houses. I think this is the best one you've done a walk through on. I just picked out my new dining room paint color from it. 🙂

[@OurRestorationNation]

I’m so glad!

[@karenlynn7731]

Thank you, Laine! I loved the tongue & grove ceilings with the beams. This house seems perfectly cozy.

[@brendaprice4664]

Got really emotional seeing how lovingly preserved this home is. Love the emergency fire suppression installed. Having a home where almost every piece of wood is carved by hand makes this home priceless! Thank You for sharing this masterpiece of magic with us! B~}

[@jelsner5077]

Beautifully decorated house.

[@leir2612]

I love this channel. Laine and Kevin do an amazing job on appreciating and sharing beauty even when it is not to be seen at first glance. It is also somewhat educational and entertaining at the same time. I don't live in USA, nor I am American, but this is a show I would watch on Netflix, if its escence is preserved. I like Laine and Kevin as hosts and they do a fantastic job. I hope theur hard work is compensated. I am guessing they are not going to read this comment, which is more than understable, but at least I put it out there. By the way, realtors should pay them something. This is priceless advertisement.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Wow! Thank you so much. And believe me, we read every comment.

[@w.alexedmonds8287]

My home was built 1790 and a lot the construction style in this home is similar to mine including the beaded ceiling and exposed beams. The interior doors were constructed the same as shutters and the floors, ceilings and doors were actual 1 1/8” thick. Great vid and insight into the detail of this home. It’s appreciated..

[@evelynbyrd4961]

I've been trying to sell my 1883 home,across from the city civic center. It still has all it's original door knobs and escrusteons plus the original light fixtures. None of the woodwork on main level has ever been painted. There are 3 sets of pocket doors. The lower level contained the kitchen, dining room, bathroom. The attic is one huge room. Originally, there was a widows walk and the house still contains 3 chimneys, with 7 flues. Every room except the two bathrooms, have 3 windows or 2 windows and one door. Most rooms are 15f x 15f. The ceilings are 12f. This house is huge and it has a wrap a round porch. The windows on the main level are 84in and lower level 64in. The attic have cute windows and dormer windows on south side. The crawl space is native stone, the lower level is brick and main and attic ship lap. The staircase from lower level up to the attic is curved and enclosed. The original owner immigrated from Bavaria in 1859, just in time for Civil War. Because he entered thru NYC, he fought for Union. He and his wife had two sons who worked for Iron Mtn RR. They also had 5 daughters, last died in 1947. Then their second sons wife had a son, that inherited. They lived there until house sold in 1976. The buyers lived there until 2017, when I bought it. It is a lovely house that needs new caretakers to love and restore it. Merry Christmas...e

[@SpanishEclectic]

I adore the balance and simplicity of these rooms, which allow the beautiful period furniture to shine. The kitchen is so well done, with the modern necessities slipped into the perfect setting. The range hood is divine! And I agree! Those are the best added storage I've seen for a home with no closets. People who buy old houses should step back for a minute and really think how features from the past can work as is. Things like air flow, natural light, and putting existing spaces to a different use, rather than gutting it all for open floor plans or other trendy ideas. I've learned so much about the South from you, and how each home reflects the times and needs of the people who built them. Sunny today here in So Cal too.

This is amazing! Such a gorgeous blend of new and old and yet it still feels so original. A great reference to anyone whom is looking on how to make a striped out house feel old (especially in the kitchen, bathrooms, and those armories. And that roofline 😍😍😍

On a smaller scale, its very similar to Parlange House in Pointe Coupée. Parlange was built by a french aristocrat in 1750

Another fabulous tour. So glad that the home has so many original features. Gorgeous antiques. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@maryappold1023]

Wow! What a great home. Such an interesting layout. The side by side trio of rooms flows nicely. A question about the slatted large doors on the level under the main floor - were they for storage? (Freely admit to a couple minute distraction in my viewing, so perhaps I missed their story.)

[@gailwhitten1360]

The original construction reminds me very much of Magnolia Mound, in Baton Rouge, built 1791. Beautiful!

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

Beautiful home. Just driving up and down River Road on both sides of the river is a treat. It’s unfortunate there are so many industrial plants next to these homes, many owned by corporations, so are off limits to the public. Hopefully these businesses maintain the homes properly. During my recent tour of Louisiana, one guide told me the reason so many antebellum homes survived is that Louisiana fell early to the Union Army, putting up little resistance. Don’t know how true this is, but sounds reasonable.

[@hollydejong1792]

This was an absolutely lovely home tour, Laine. I always learn something new from you. Thank you!

[@blahmooblah789]

This was so good! Loving the music but that house! Wowee I really enjoyed how balanced the modern and the original are. Tobacco! That’s pretty amazing, I guess the original owners made a pretty penny, those fields are huge. I love this channel so much❤️

[@creolelady182]

This looks like the same home I visited some 25 years ago when it had a red metal roof on it. They were trying to sell it then but no buyers ,. It needed a lot of work. I know the lising agent

[@sandraphelan5353]

Considering the age of the house does it still have its "visitors room" or "travels room"? I think i'm remembering what itwas called correctly.. It was a room that could only be gotten to from the outside. the room only had an abed and washstand init. because even back then who in their right mind would let a total stranger in home to spend the night.

[@BradVaughn]

It is amazing that the house was able to retain much of the original detailing. The listing shows that it was built in 2008 - the agent should make sure to correct this detail.

[@OurRestorationNation]

I was unsure why they did that as well. It was rehabilitated in 2008 so they put that there on purpose. The description gives the 1840 date.

[@conniecharvat2500]

Hi, I watched both of you talking about your successful summer event in Natchez, will there be another one next year, if so how soon would you be announcing sale of tickets, places to lodge etc? I would love to attend! I love your program! Merry Christmas!

[@johnhastings462]

Wonderful Home ~ Your words as well ! Thank you so very much . Only one question __ "Fireplace features: None" Can they be made to function ? It is so hard to have a hearth without a fire .

[@keeptrying5962]

I like that question and would like to know, too. I understand some don't care about or want a functioning fireplace in their home (they may have good reason, history), but for me it's ...I've got to have a functional fireplace, like it's the heart of the home.

[@OurRestorationNation]

I suspect like us the man that rehabilitated this home places chimney function at the end of a long list. Typically there will be some damage over time to the chimney that will have to be resolved before it can be made wood burning. I don’t know the situation here. You’d have to ask the realtor. But you can also do a ventless gas fireplace that is very warm. We’ve done that in the past.

[@creolelady182]

Beautiful restoration but no way I will move back to Louisiana.

[@toddekstrom7963]

Is the whole house above the waterline?

[@radiohill]

Such beautiful houses. The only problem I see with a lot of these layouts is the serious feng shui problem of doors opening toward the bed. This is known as "the death position". So unfortunate.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Dang…. I’ve never lived in a house where the door doesn’t open toward the bed. I should have been dead years ago😬

[@nerdsforfreedom2794]

@@OurRestorationNation I would be dead due to lack of air flow, lol!

[@user-vx2yj8ts4c]

Why does it say built in 2008 in the listing?

[@OurRestorationNation]

It was rehabilitated in 2008. I think the realtor wanted people to know that.

[@jennifersessions7972]

Beautiful structure. How many people were enslaved on this plantation?

[@OurRestorationNation]

Just wondering if you know the meaning of the word Creole…

[@jennifersessions7972]

As a historian of slavery, I do! Some Creoles owned slaves, and while tobacco plantations like this one could operate with smaller enslaved labor forces, they could not dispense with it entirely if they were cultivating on a large scale. I'd be delighted to hear your research shows otherwise, but the video doesn't say anything about the economic or labor history of the house and its owners. @@OurRestorationNation

[@OurRestorationNation]

Well, as a historian of slavery specifically I’d say you are far more qualified to speak on the subject than am I. I’d love it if you did the research on the farm and got back to us. I am an architectural historian, and my specialty is the built structure, so that’s what I speak on. We find that the general lay- person is unaware of concepts of bousillage or the difference between type and style of home. They don’t know how to tell if wood was milled or hewn. How glass was produced before modern methods evolved is a mystery to most. So, our intention is to teach the hidden. Slavery is not hidden. Its history and effects are known by everyone around the globe. While that knowledge may not be at the level you would prefer, we feel like slavery isn’t a mystery to anyone. As it isn’t a mystery we feel that making sweeping statements about issues we don’t have full historic facts on is disingenuous and performative. Performative activism is worthless. So, unless we have facts, we don’t perform.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

100, but it’s Ok because they’re White.

[@peralus2008]

Plantation... That was its greatest use 😒

[@user-ku6tr4vd6z]

I disagree with labeling this a "farm house." The word "farm" gives the impression that the original owners were out ploughing their own fields, milking their own cows. This was a plantation house, worked and most likely built by slaves. The dead giveaway is the cash crops that were grown on the property--indigo, sugar, tobacco---these are labor intensive crops that were only profitable if grown on a large scale. Another indication, the house, while not as grand as some of its neighbors, is bigger and fancier than what a typical farm family of the era had. This is, in fact, what your average southern Louisiana plantation home was like.

[@suzieq2493]
