HOUSE TOUR 🏠 1 Year of DIY & Renovation Updates

[@jennifergraham3752]

I love that you want to save as many of the original features as possible while making the house your own style.

[@lonefox]

Thank you 🥹🥹

[@janetstraw191]

Yes! SO many people buy gorgeous, period homes and then proceed to rip out all the character!😡 It’s happened to me several times from homes I have sold. The worst thing is cutting down all the trees!!😡😣‼️

[@msaijay1153]

And he even restored some features, like the fireplace mantel

[@donnapecoraro3126]

100%! the bathroom does not need to be perfect. it’s almost 100 years old. the design and tile are typical of the era. this spanish style is similar to my own home in details, one of the many reasons I love to see it’s evolution. i’m so happy you got to save most.

[@jennifergraham3752]

@@lonefox It is an art! Your ability to do this is what will always make your homes unique and magical. They have soul.

[@mangotreecollection9353]

What I love the most about your house is that it feels alive. You’re not following trends, you’re true to yourself. Your house feels like home. Constantly changing, imperfect and so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your life project, Drew. ❤

[@Sooz1234]

Such vision, and such an accomplishment. Thank you for resisting the urge to "trend design" this classic house. Amazing.

[@bthomson]

Yes! Both classic and classy!

[@AussieCrimeCases]

while still being trendy

[@jennifergraham3752]

“trend design” is the perfect description for what so many people do. Well said

[@janinafisher101]

Drew, thanks for this lovely one-year tour. You have accomplished so much, and with the outside painted, the place is truly transformed! It was really nice to see it all in one video. It's perfect that you have some great storage space right there. You have great taste, and it's lovely to see all the DIY executed so masterfully as well. Kudos to you as well as the Lone Fox team! Justin and Marie are amazing too. Hope you feel better.💝

[@terry2310]

Not only is your home breathtaking, it is warm, inviting, and completely livable. So many designers create spaces where it seems the addition of people will ruin their style. Well done!

[@Gemmythebulldog]

SOOOO much talent! Can't wait to see what u do next. Your hard work has definitely paid off. I'm ALWAYS so proud of you Drew ❤MOM 😉

[@drusilladana4184]

Thank you for the tour, Drew!! Your home is so welcoming & lush! I feel like it wraps itself around all who enter (me, too!). You have created a lovely sanctuary. I'm excited to see the ongoing makeover & surprises you have for us! 😊❤❤

[@Gemmythebulldog]

[@carronalee]

Drew is such a lovely, talented and good-natured young man. You are SO right to be proud of him! ❤️❤️

[@Gemmythebulldog]

@@carronaleethanks lol. Have a nice rest of the week 😊

[@sheila95472]

Incredible transformation! I am specially impressed with how you enhanced the flow of the house, and how you remained true to it's original character. I'm a Realtor and I see a lot of makeovers where the charm has been completely removed in favor of Home Depot esthetics and it just makes me want to cry. These kinds of homes aren't going to be built again. They came into being when art and craftmanship were much more a part of life. So, Bravo! to you for doing an outstanding job of reviving this beautiful home!

[@learningbytaste]

Excited to see the main bathroom renovation. I love that you did Marie's bedroom before your own, so kind.

[@sbashkatova]

I’m so grateful to see unfinished projects and versions 1, 2, 3 of something. A lot of remodeling/designer content is intimidating to try because it’s going from zero to ta daah perfection, but you’re experimenting and editing, and it looks beautiful while feeling real.

[@connieshutts7074]

So glad you are considering putting the tapestry in the hallway..it will give it’s own regal presence and not fight with all the other decor in your room. Everything is coming together so well.

[@Gemmythebulldog]

I've been telling him that too lol

[@helenvangeleuken6265]

It might also help muffle the slight echo/hollow sound there.

[@thiskiddyahoo]

Drew, your home has really been a project of love and it shows. You, Justin, and Marie have done a magical job in making this home reflect your nature, while returning it to so much of its true original architectural style. You have a home that is welcoming and beautiful! Enjoy! Thank you for taking us with you on this special adventure!

[@ItsKells]

Drew really has assembled a dream team with Marie and Justin! Mom, Dad and Aunt in AZ included!

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

Holy transformation in just a year. Every room that you've done so far is stunning. Painting the house makes such a difference on curb appeal. I think my favorite room to date is the living room with the amazing beams. Kudos to you and Justin for working as a team and making your home into a show piece.

[@jeanne-marie8196]

I really like so many of the rooms! The “light and airy” living room is one of my favorites, but the biggest impact for me, is the outside paint colors! The courtyard transformation is beautiful

[@anneaton921]

I can’t believe you have been at your new house a year already!! It looks wonderful!!🥰

[@BelindaLoveLee]

I love that you don't hid all the mess and storage makes it feel so much more relatable than just a perfectly done up house! BEAUTIFUL as always Drew!

[@afterthestorm221]

Wow what a transformational journey! I'm sure it feels like quite an accomplishment. Bravo!

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

Rebecca Robeson recently mentioned you complimenting your creativity. You two are my favorites. What a journey you have made in such a short period. You have worked your magic creating a one-of-a-kind home that is timeless. Congratulations, Drew!! Be proud, my friend, be proud. I hope you feel better soon. Soak up some sunshine. Look forward to seeing you soon.

[@thislifeisconfusing]

Love it. And I'm so fond of the decision to put the tapestry in the stairway! I think it will add a lot of dramatic flair to a otherwise 'plain' passage way. And like that it won't suffer too much from sun related damage because it's much less exposed.

[@Belle1900]

The whole house is gorgeous, but my favorite is the view from dining room into the coffee bar area...perfection!

[@mohplaysrblx]

I love your channel sooo much omgggg

[@Gemmythebulldog]

So sweet. Me too😊

[@lonefox]

I appreciate you more than you know!! 🤎🤎

[@stevie8787]

Dreeeew, I’m obsessed with your house and what you’ve done with it! I love how you’ve kept the Spanish architecture in mind when designing it. It really brings the home to life. I’ve been watching you forever and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! Beautiful job! 💕

[@angelathorpe1611]

This home is so special. Great design, great work.

[@megangarcia6991]

My absolute favorite parts of your home: - the courtyard (I mean… eeeeekkk!!) 🤤🤩😍🪴 - the first living room that is beside the entryway - the view looking from the dining room into the coffee bar space - the kitchen (again… eeeeekkkkk!!! What a stunner!!)

[@diydarlings]

Wow absolutely blown away by how much you've achieved in the past year. My top 3 favourite rooms in order would be 1) kitchen 2) the curved sofa living room 3) Marie's bedroom

[@rachelle466]

Same! The kitchen is absolutely stunning, and the curved sofa.... sigh....

[@diydarlings]

@@rachelle466 the curved sofa of dreams

[@OldLadyInFL]

I can see so many of your finds from shopping trips where I said "Where on earth is he going to put that?" I distinctly remember all the problems you had with the upstairs kitchen, and it just turned out GORGEOUS! Marie's room looks like an upper echelon resort! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your bedroom! I know it will be amazing! I was in a really blah mood today, and this video perked me up so much. Thanks for everything. P.S. I know, too many exclamation marks, but this is an exciting video.

[@charlottefletcher]

Ever since your first tour I’ve been casually planning how I’d do your backyard if it was mine so I thought I’d share. I would build a long thin build a garage on the side of the house with the telephone pole as far left as you could and meeting up with the house on the right side of the house starting where the house ends and ending at the back of the property. It would have a garage door on the front and arched doors on the side leading to the backyard space. On the back wall I would have 2 large stone 1/4 circle raised beds each nestled in a corner and high enough to act as seating. In each of the raised beds I would have a tree under planted with succulents. Between the beds I’d have a wall fountain. I would tile the ground with some spaces cut out for plants. I would replace the fencing with stucco walls like the courtyard and have Bougainville and an Espalier lemon tree growing up them. I’d have a dinning set and/or a small pool towards the house. Of course this design is taking place in my imagination where there is no budget or measurements or property codes but I had fun coming up with it and maybe you’ll enjoy reading it.

[@pw4075]

You have accomplished so much in 12 short months and everything is so tastefully done! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds.

[@njb1814]

Drew, it's absolutely beautiful! What a transformation! I love it all! The outside paint made a huge difference as well. Great job, thank you for sharing all your projects and transformations! It is just stunning!❤

[@MarinaJA7]

Gorgeous! The whole entire renovation has a beautiful old world vibe - which is charming! Yet you managed to equip every room with the convenience of modern day living! Every single piece of furniture and decor has been lovingly sourced and curated! Five stars - Drew. You pulled it off!!! It’s stunning!

[@magentahorizon6503]

This home is already a wow factor and it isn't even finished yet. Just another true testament to your amazing talent, Drew! Can't wait to see what you have going on next. :)

[@terrybuckalew6874]

I love the kitchen with marble and copper just gorgeous

[@artyb.channel7496]

This house screams DREW! This is so you. I wouldn't expect anything else. -The color palate is so calm and relaxing. -The arches give me life. -The "grand living room" is huge and perfect. -Your "storage space", I could live in there. -The silly pink bathroom is cute and lowkey a vibe lol

[@tadeuszoltarzewski]

OMG has it really been a year since you have been in your home. Well done it's just beautiful 👏👌. Thank you for sharing your life. Sending love from Rosie O from Devon England 👍🇬🇧

[@heathersmith8549]

You’ve gotten SO much done in a year. Congratulations. It’s all beautiful.

[@ameliehudini9414]

I'd actually LOVE an organisational video for your storage rooms! Maybe vlog-style, maybe Marie talking about more of her process when organising (I know she talked a bit about it in an earlier video, but I'd love a video dedicated to the process), maybe Drew and Marie walking through the process together :)

[@heidigresh2743]

You don’t need to apologize for doing some changes to your home. It is always a process. Our lives change, our tastes change and we may find that we need to adjust if necessary. Your house is beautiful!

[@brandyoctober5923]

I feel like if i was a guest here i would want to take hours just to see every nook and cranny. So many details. I love old homes and yours takes the cake.

[@kathrynmccarthy]

Man, I want my art studio space to have the same vibes as your Lone Fox studio storage space. So cozy and get's my creativity flowing!

[@CS-ki5uf]

LOVE the new round coffee table, the bookcase that goes w dining table, and SO happy that you are honoring that tapestry & are going to hang it on wrought iron!! The living room looks great without it...honestly. That sofa needed to be the star of that room. Now the tapestry will be the star of your staircase area. Once u makeover the small bedroom & bath, Marie will want it back lol. For the yellow & green kitchen, I'd keep the original green tile perhaps on the wall but lose the yellow. Maybe u can make a vintage feel kitchen but with better counter tops idk? Vintage stove in some cool color? Your home is amazing. Luv it!

[@madolynway6612]

I am glad you mentioned the tapestry since it is one of my favourite pieces. It was good to have an overview after watching the separate videos.

[@lizabethnichols8229]

Drew, I hope you knew this but in case: always save paint for touch ups and not in the garage, but in the house. Here's how I save mine: I buy glass jars at the Dollar stores, plus you need plastic wrap. I label the jars on tape with the paint name, where I bought it, if it's flat finish or so forth, and where I painted this because I have two different white paints and two different dark green paints, for example. I fill the jar with the paint from the (stirred) can, cover the opening with two layers of plastic wrap, put the lid on tight, and store it. If there's a lot of paint in the can, then I cover the top with plastic wrap, put the metal lid back on and hammer it tight, and keep it, too. Always keep touch up paint - you never know when you'll need it, including moving art around. The plastic wrap and glass helps keep it from drying out and this works well. For people who buy new homes, some builders give you a voucher for a free can of paint that matches what they've painted the inside of the house. Keep this! It really comes in handy, even if you paint other colors (maybe touch ups for around ceiling, for example).

[@dianahampton8768]

Drew you are naturally talented for this. I can’t believe someone threw out the door. Everything looks absolutely wonderful.

[@debrafazzi5382]

So happy you didn’t gut the house but keep so many of the original and decorated to the date and style of the house. Love everything you’ve done 🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

You are such a great designer!! Each room is a work of art and I have watched every episode! Thank you for showing us your home!!!!

[@ZoraidaVA-b6v]

Your passion for interior design is evident. The attention to detail, uniquely curated spaces, and cohesiveness is on point. Your talent is inspiring.

[@Creyole]

Drew….I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already! My favorite room by far is your kitchen/butler’s pantry and breakfast room! The work and love you put into those rooms is remarkable. I remember the many hours you and Jason put in on your hands and knees placing each tile lovingly and professionally. My second favorite is your grand living room and that’s EXACTLY how it should be referred to and oh my goodness…those doors! A story in and of itself and how I held my breath when it fell!😱 Thank you for taking me and the rest of your subscribers on this wonderful, informative and very personal journey. I cannot wait to see what’s next.👍🏾

[@msaijay1153]

A video on a Sunday? What a treat! 0:16 the color you picked for the exterior is perfect! 3:36 this theatre room helped me decide to switch a dark rug in my living room with a light rug in my den. The den is our movie room

[@noneavailable9121]

Gorgeous house... What an inspiration!! I hope the pink tiles in the damaged bath match the ones you're trying to keep, in case they can salvaged for repairs.

[@adrianna1289]

Wow. To see it all in one video just shows how much progress you’ve made. The disowned by you spaced are truly beautiful and no calming. I love your aesthetic therefor I’ve been following your channel for years. Congratulations to achieving so much in just a year. I love it. It must be a great pleasure to live in it.

Wow Drew! You have accomplished so much in a year and each space is gorgeous - the 'Entry Living Room' is my favorite ... and the upstairs 'Grand Living Room' would be a fun place to just spend time looking at all the details.

[@patmeek9094]

You are so very talented. Did you have training or is this a special talent that came naturally?

[@lonefox]

No training! I started retail job at a home decor store and just fell in love with every facet of design over the year I worked there 🤎

[@zeetalzee5582]

it's amazing how far you have come! In terms of your courtyard, as a gardener, I recommend going with an olive over a citrus. Citrus like a lot of moisture in order to fruit, so you'd need to water frequently, where as an olive is a plant that can handle a dryer situation. In terms of planning courtyard gardens where everything will likely be in a pot, and where it appears you might get hot sun for a good portion of the day in some parts of the courtyard, lean into Mediterranean herbs. Spanish, Portuguese and French lavenders do well in heat, and Lavender Dentata (french variety) will bloom year round for you. Edibles like thyme, sage, rosemary and oregano are also great options. Rosemary comes in both upright and prostrate varieties, which can give a unique look in terms of "hanging over' or standing tall more like topiary. Oregano is a beautiful plant that wil also drape over edges, and there are ornamental varieties with big beautiful flowers as well, so it's definitely an option. Sage comes in several shades now -- purple, a near-white green, and of course the usual sage green color. A wonderful plant to bring shimmer into the garden, too. You can mix these beautifully with different kinds of succulents, as well as grasses that you already have, and the olive fits right at home. I can also recommend hardy geraniums like "Attar of Roses" whose leaves are deeply scented of roses (it's often used to make rose perfumes), and there's also a lovely peppermint scented one, as well as lemon and coconut, too. They have just gorgeous fuzzy leaves. These plants are pretty tough and, once established, can handle times of drought -- so if it's extra hot or you forget to water them a bit or the drip system isn't working entirely, they'll very likely come through. They also propagate easily, are easy to prune, but you can also just let them go wild, too, if that's a look you like out of them. Anyway, I l ove the colors you chose for your house -- and I think your courtyard is really shaping up. :)

[@mwilliamson3989]

Oh my! What a delightful way to spend my Sunday afternoon ❤! Just enjoyed your tour of the fabulous renovations in one incredible year! You have accomplished so much and grown and learned so much and brought us all along with you as your apprentices! For this I’m deeply grateful. My humble abode isn’t anywhere near as grand as yours, and I’m nowhere as young and as strong as you (68). But I’m so inspired and even if I can’t do the things your doing it’s a pure delight to see a young person achieving their goals and desires in this world. It truly blesses my soul!
