Full 1906 Farmhouse Tour Before & After

[@teresaramos1719]

Finally a Real farmhouse and so appropriate farmhouse decor. How refreshing....

[@woin9361]

This is probably the complete opposite of my personal decor style, but it’s absolutely sublime. It feels so clean and contemplative...it’s layered so nicely with the mix of materials that magically feel like they’re from the same designer or even era. You did an incredible job with this home! I really like all the ways you experimented with affordable materials like the drop cloth curtains you bleached and the table lamps that you painted to look like antique wood - that’s thinking creatively for sure! I hope you never lose your passion for finding a deal and DIYing, because you clearly have a knack for it! You should be really proud! I’m so energized to pick up another home DIY project now 💕

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much!

[@VelvetandToads]

What a superb restoration, you’ve totally managed to give it a fresh, updated look while retaining the character! 👏🏻

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much! That is exactly what we were going for! xoxo

[@morticiag]

Yours is one of the best farmhouse looks. So pretty.

[@traille4901]

I am so impressed! You have such vision and are so gifted! It was a pleasure to watch your home tour - really inspiring.

[@bevgipson2056]

I love how you’ve incorporated all of your treasured loves into this home. I love how you have used your resources wisely. So, so cute!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much!

[@rachalnocchi5600]

I really love how you combined new technology and efficiency while staying so true to the construction and shape of your vintage home. It is absolutely beautiful, and I know how much you must enjoy the serenity and peace of living there. Just lovely!

[@sharonlepper6937]

You are definitely a creative, patient, visionary person!! I’m so impressed with your attention to detail. We moved into my husband’s family’s 100+ year old farmhouse and have done minimal updates and changes. This post has definitely inspired me!!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I'm so glad it's inspired you, Sharon! Best of luck with any future updates and changes!

[@Fitzwillyfl]

This is hands down one of my favorite home tour videos!! So so amazing!!!

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Sara, I love how you make your home beautiful by DIY projects and thrifting. You are a breath of fresh air and humble. I appreciate your channel and am watching several videos to get ideas. Thank you because 90% of channels today are about buying new expensive products. And you look so lovely in your videos!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you so much!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Love the distressed blue rug in the master bedroom!

[@happilyhomeschoolinginiowa455]

Lovely. We all can see your hard work and design more clearly now with the before pictures.

[@MadameChic1]

Beautiful home! The camera moved a little too fast and made me dizzy. I would prefer to see the whole room instead of parts of the room. Thank you!

[@choosehappygratitude8802]

MISTERBETHERE what I found distracting was not the camera panning quickly, it was that the voice-over did not speak to what the video was showing.

[@chickadee39]

Yes.. I agree.. x

[@sharonjozefoski5278]

MISTERBETHERE do you have a tirtorial on re-doing the awmwaue.. forgive my spelling hope you knew w what I was retiring to, it was in the master bedroom.

[@MRS-ty6uf]

Sharon Jozefoski armoire :). No shade just helping.

[@SS-bq1yv]

Maybe camera could pan out to see the whole room(s) ...too many close ups. Too fast camera.

[@saraha4518]

Now this is a makeover!!! Fantastic redesign that honors the history and architecture of the period. Wonderfully designed and so much attention to detail that truly fits the home perfectly. Ship lap is the best. All these up-cycled diy pieces make my heart happy. Looks like a magazine.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you very much!

[@BernalAzul]

Congratulations! You have superb taste! I admire all the work you have done. When I see the before pictures, I feel overwhelmed an tend to think buying a new property would be better (and cheaper), but when I see your results, it has been worth it all, and then I consider again buying an old place and remodelling to my taste. But really, you have such good taste! It’s a pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing!

[@cindymolleur6097]

You are all so blessed and you speak about your home with such amazing admiration, appreciation, joy, and love. It’s a very special place for sure.❤️❤️

[@gailstaples1310]

Stunning!!! When everything old is new again...... Cozy, charming and warm are the feelings that come to mind. This updated version of a time gone by farmhouse will last way into the future. Very well done! The original owners would by amazed!

[@lesasoest6875]

It was great watching your renovation. We’re renovating our 1807 farmhouse. Lots of love, laughter and tears.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, I know you understand! Your place sounds amazing!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Love the blue rug in the master bedroom. What a great transformation!

[@brendafalk5162]

What an absolutely lovely home! Not is it only tastefully done, but it so intentional and in keeping with the spirit of the original house. It is a piece of art, used every day. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

That is exactly what we were going for. Thank you for your encouragement. xoxo

You my dear are a ROCK STAR!!!!! So thrilled to have found your channel, my jaw dropped multiple times at all of the work/projects/ restorations you have done ( and I am so happy that you have tutorials for all of these creations!! ). You are incredibly talented and we are so lucky to see your home AND your how to tutorials!

You're too kind! Thank you & welcome!

So happy that you shared this tour, Sarah! You did an amazing job! Your home is absolutely lovely, and I've always admired your style. What an inspiration you are, my friend! xo

[@Mennoniterootshomestead2]

Wow! Wow! Wow!! Absolutely loved this old farmhouse makeover! And all your decor is just spot on!!

[@liseerenee]

Really beautiful but I feel like you need to pan back with your camera work and slow down a bit. There’s a lot of fast close-ups that are a little bit dizzying and are too zoomed in to give a full perspective of where we are in your home.

[@madmoiselle007]

You can playback speed at 0.25x with no volume and subtitles. You’re welcome

You have done a really beautiful job of restoring your home ,it’s really gorgeous and I love how you have added things second hand,not only cheaper,but I think you can get some really good quality beautiful things that way ,some have much more character than new brought too..It helps when decorating an older home..I owned one once many years ago ,so been there ,done it lol ..Thank you for the tour around your home it’s just lovely and I can see filled with love and of course happy memories 😀

[@anaitam1357]

I am in the process of trying to update my 1916 craftsman cottage and you given me so many wonderful ideas. I live how you’ve stayed true to your homes roots. I have to say when I saw the round jute rug and you said it was still available I immediately went online and purchased it. I think I’m going to use it as a wall hanging and major focal point in my tiny living room that has a blank wall. Love how you’ve made so many items yourself and have up cycled so many treasures.

[@maryannedebono4772]

Your home is absolutely gorgeous! We will be moving to a 90 year old farmhouse in the spring and although it’s been well renovated, I can’t wait to put my touches to it! I love the white! Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@chistinebinning6768]

You do not look like a mother with kids in college. You, actually look like a college student, which I actually thought you were. Your home is beautiful, you are really gifted in all the details of creating your home. I’m looking forward to seeing more videos. Thank you.

[@sheilamashburn1795]

I knew your home would be welcoming and cozy!!!! Thank you so much for taking me inside and sharing your thoughts and dreams! ❤️

[@perkinshomestead]

I love your home interior decorating. You inspire me. I was a homeschooling mom once too. We own an old (over 100 year old) farmhouse. We are finally fixing it up after 27 years. I never thought I would like white walls, but now I like the vintage look because you have inspired me. I am a Gramma and older than you, but I thank you for your great ideas, especially with the vintage linens. I do sew and have chickens too! God bless you real good!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

OhI love that you're getting a chance to fix your home up after living there for so many years already! What a blessing! I hope it serves you well for the next 27 years! :) I'm glad you're here.

[@lisamcilvain4992]

Just fabulous! Nothing beats the character of an old house.

[@maiden411]

I like how bright your home is. One thing I’ve realized, is that although I LOVE color, a monochromatic decor such as yours’ is much more calming and peaceful. I’ll save color for my art.

[@calliebolstad1345]

Your changes and design touches are beautiful. And, I LOVE that you shared where you found things and how much you paid!

We just bought a 160 acre farm that has a little farmhouse a lot like this one. I want to renovate it for my daughter to have when she turns 18. I have very little experience doing the actual work of construction. I will be watching all of your videos! Thank you so much!! Big smiles!! Honey! Even if we have to get a crane!!! (That is sooo me!)

[@SheHoldsDearly]

You can do it!

[@shelley_quilts]

I just found you ... your home is lovely!!! You have totally captured what I would say my style is (even though I would say that I have trouble figuring that out for myself). I am in the process of gradually redoing my home little by little. Hopefully, I will be able to incorporate some of this beauty into my home. I actually got some of that beadboard wallpaper, but I am planning on using it in my kitchen!!

[@laurenschafer617]

I'm actually sitting here crying, dreaming of and picturing my future home. This is the image that flashes in my brain. Loved and lived in.

Beautiful! Can't believe you found so much second hand stuff and made it beautiful. Love your idea with the wrapping paper wall hanging. So many calendars have beautiful prints and would be neat to do that idea. Can't believe you have kids in college.

[@jojoply]

So much white. You have done great, I just love color in my house. You do have a good eye.

[@100daysmic9]

Much easier not to make mistakes when you go all white. Takes far more talent to add color and the more color the harder it gets. Right now minimalism is all the trend...so everyone is going to love this. Wonder how long until the design ideas shift and color comes back in.

[@jojoply]

I have to say that after viewing many farmhouse "re-decorates" on KZbin, this is by far my absolute favorite. It is so eclectic and so "real" farmhouse. It reminds me of my grandmother's home, though it was very tiny, it was a true farmhouse! Love what you have done❣ Subbed, have to go back and watch your other vids....😊

[@jennyk3632]

Your Farmhouse style is nicer than Joannas! 😁 Your home is so gorgeous and cozy! I love it!

[@tensiperez7555]

Your home is gorgeous! Yes to the blue and the rugs are so pretty! I have just "found" you and have subscribed and left you a thumbs up. I will probably binge watch all your videos and tutorials now. I love your style of house but I live in Miami, Florida where there are a lot of ranch houses which are one story only. We bought our house in 1968 when we got married for $14,500.00!!! It was a small 2/1 with a tiny kitchen and was 950 square feet. We have little by little gutted it and completely rebuilt the original house replacing all the plumbing, electricity, etc. and have doubled the size of the house to a 4/2 now. It is just under 2000 square feet now. Everything is practically new. We just put in hurricane proof windows and have redone our larger master bathroom. Now that we are older, I am glad we don't have stairs as my legs and knees could not climb them. The Lord knew that so he led us to the ranch. It's a nice old neighborhood where most people in our block have lived here for at least 20 years. I look forward to watching all your videos. Belated Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[@upriver7047]

I read through a bunch of the coments on this old post and I don't think there are any fresh adjectives I can use to compliment you on your beautiful home. I love white farmhouse style but I'm really looking forward to your updates as you move more towards cottage core style. I live in an 1800's farmhouse tgat ended up becoming part of a very rural, teeny tiny town. I did a ton of repair and remodeling about twelve years ago. I am about to start in again. I'm aging, lol, and it's time to add central heat and ac. There is no ductwork so I'm trying to anticipate all that that will involve. So I get a do-over! Seeing all that you and your family have accomplished in your beautiful home has been good for my soul as I think about the future. Thank you for sharing this lovely tour, Sarah!

I've been doubting myself a bit lately because every time I buy something for the house, I go for white/ivory, and it's been making me feel like maybe I just don't know how to have a style. However, seeing your house in mostly white just solidified for me that that is The Look! I love it!

[@debrabutler7452]

While there are some "stagey" pockets to the styling, all in all, you have a great design sense. This is a house to be lived in and create a real-life with authentic traditions/memories. Well done.

The camera goes too fast. I'm trying to take something in and "Pooof!" it's gone ... and then the camera rests on the ceiling fan which is without any interest at all. But OTHERWISE ... FABULOUS work you've done and just please let us look at things, and the room in it's entirety, longer. This reminds me of girls who model and keep moving from side to side when they just need to stand still and relax. Then move, then stand still. It takes a minute for the eye to take everything in. Watch old movies and you'll die they are so slow. But things made now are too fast and make us anxious. Good luck.
