[@loribragg2947]

The pocket doors and fireplace mantle alone are worth $58,000. You see very few houses like this in Florida because the tropical climate keeps termites so darn happy. In northern states it gets cold enough to kill them off or at least keep them at bay. I like the current color on the house but lilac and white would look great, too-like something right out of Mary Poppins and Cherry Tree Lane. 😊

[@kimberlysusie701]

Oh, how beautiful! The view alone is worth it! My color choice? Butter yellow!

[@ginacirelli1581]

Obviously I'm partial to yellow houses, but yes, I could see a beautiful periwinkle/lilac color. It's amazing to me how old modest homes have so much fanciness. Nowadays everything is plain plain plain -- and folks rip out the fanciness to put in the plain! HGTV is a scourge. Even old mouldings are round and chunky and the newer ones with the same profile are flatter. Thank you, once again, for this channel.

[@claudiamann7111]

What a beautiful Victorian. Love all the original molding, pocket doors, and hardware. I hope someone will give it the love that it needs.

[@dragons8822]

What an amazing home, i grew up in a house that had pocket doors, crown moldings, not as tall moldings & doors but the same designs. Our kitchen had a small cabinet that held a large sink & 2 door cabinet that hung on the wall above the sink for our dishes, the silverware went in a drawer below the sink. Tho best thing about our house was our pantry it went floor to ceiling, the bottom half was all drawers of different sizes which stopped at my waist about 4 1/2 ft , there was pull out wooden cutting boards every 2 1/2 drawers, then from the stop of the drawers up to the ceiling were shelves of all different sizes to store all sorts of items, cookware, bakeware, food- cans,containers for rice, pasta etc. It was just amazing ! My color choice is either how it looks now, or white with black trim, or the grey with black trim. I'd absolutely want to restore it to it's former glory since some of it is still there in the woodworking, pocket doors, the kitchen has a great size, room for lots more storage.

[@gailsprangers9388]

Lovely little house. I definetly see it in a custard yellow in the lower portion with a deeper yellow on the upper and keep the white trim. Don't forget the flowers!

[@robynsnest22]

That is how I envisioned it too.

[@evangelinestewart4727]

A soft baby yellow and lots of flowers and roses outside around the house and in a garden!

Nobody in this world can show a house in such beautiful detail quite like you my Dear Laine you are the best. I just love this house too thank you for all your hours of hard work Honey. You and Kevin are just amazing, you make each other strong and that's so good to see these days!!!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Thank you so much Teresa!

[@JulyMoon82]

This house is stunning. The doors and hardware that are still intact are so beautiful. Houses like this were built to last.

[@bonnabrimhall8080]

Ohhhh, I love this house! All of the original features are just toppings on the ice cream!! And from the looks of it, this house would be rather easy to rearrange and bring it back to its beautiful self. I agree with a downstairs master suite and a 1/2 bath for guest, 2 large bedrooms upstairs with a beautiful shared bathroom. The kitchen definitely needs some work, but as it sits, it is functional. I think the first thing I would do would be the upstairs, then work my way down. As for her color, I like the lilac idea, but I see her dressed in Sunny Yellow.

[@doriskovalcik442]

I love the hardwood floors and the pocket doors. I can see the potential in the house and how beautiful it could be and if you had been around 50 yrs ago I would be in the market for an older home to make my own.

[@charityhostetter8123]

In LOVE!!!! What an adorable house!!! Lilac Is a great color, but I think a Sunny yellow could be lovely too. Makes me wish we were living State side right now.

The hardware. The slanted ceiling in the second floor. The wood details outside with the posts and roof and color... lovely fairytale countryside house all over. Also the huge garage! Thank you for showing.

[@NewEscapade]

I would love a little Victorian like that. I'd likely paint it a sunny yellow, not too loud. I do so hope someone rescues it. As our society moves more toward teleworking (like I do), perhaps more fading treasures like this will be spared from dereliction, because people can live wherever they want instead of near high density areas, as long as there is internet available.

[@Beachbum471]

[@robertsitch1415]

They often dropped the ceilings and sometimes put paneling over the wall plaster when they added electrical and plumbing in the older farmhouses, so plaster repair is sometimes required. Surprisingly my uncle kept the acoustic tile drop ceiling when he renovated his farmhouse kitchen.

[@machellep1]

Now that’s a beauty. I’d buy just for the pocket doors. Unfortunately my hubby is not in a place to move again. Soon..

There are many lovely homes like this in the rural Midwest. Kane, IL is only an hour away from St Louis, but unfortunately has no information infrastructure for working professionals and families. (Think internet- only options are super slow DSL and satellite.)

Deep cream and darker shade of green for trim. Like the red door.

[@penelopebutton9323]

Beautiful home, I was wondering why it was priced so low, perhaps the rural location? Why would they build a staircase directly to a bedroom? As for the color, the current blue or a soft yellow 🌼

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Might have originally been just an attic space. They could have finished later.

[@kailee5694]

Because of the more modern framing which cuts into both bedrooms, I think the attic was storage space later changed into rooms. If the stairs were original I think they would have been more decorative, considering the beautiful work in the rest of the house.
