Restoring Our Victorian : Episode 6

[@nancycolbert2703]

Kudos to you for resurrecting this door and the incredible old workmanship. I would like to think an 1800's carpenter is smiling down from heaven.

[@strngenchantedgirl]

You two are so cute. I love seeing people still madly in love with each other after 25 years.

[@garydufur5765]

You remind me of CHIP and JOANNA GAINS I saw on HGTV.. Kind of look alike also.

[@lpschick7237]

OMG…the mouth covers as headphones & the pencil as the mic. 🤣. That was hilarious. Great job interviewing Lanie. Glad you going to survive the injury Kevin.

[@ellahayes7233]

I really appreciate and admire your restoration of these beautiful homes. When y'all took the furniture to the car wash, I realized, "These are my kind of people, they actually get it!"😂

[@denisekonkol3809]

Did I miss a video? Or was the car wash thing just something they talked about? I just started following them on Instagram so maybe it was there

[@ellahayes7233]

@@denisekonkol3809 They washed some furniture in a KZbin episode a few weeks back. It was when they fixed up the little Janie house to stay in. Not sure which episode.

[@idoc-2]

@@denisekonkol3809 It was the video "Victorian Episode #4--Little Janie before & after" about a month ago. They took some old upholstered furniture to the car wash and power washed it! I have done that with my outdoor patio furniture and a garden hose, but I would have never thought to power wash indoor upholstered cloth furniture. You'd think the stuffing would take forever to dry out after that!

[@margueriteoelrich4266]

I'm in a new relationship with the age of 64 and I still acknowledge I need to know how to be the best in a relationship. I've listened learned and studied successful couples like you and it's a joy to listen how you support each other encourage each other and accept each other. Those have to be the keys to lasting true love. Congratulations in your enduring love and even more your ability to work together! I think that's a massive accomplishment and act of love.

[@firecracker8071]

The door is absolutely beautiful, a paint job will be beautiful

[@TracysPlans]

"What kind of gloves did you buy me? I'm not committing a homicide!" I almost spewed my tea!!! lol

[@MzJust1girl]

Those over-sized gloves were giving me anxiety! As a nurse, I would not be able to do any work with those. I would do what Laine did in the end & take them off. But, aren't they just the cutest, most loving couple!

[@tristazerbe8119]

Me too!!!! 🤣

[@hannaibrahim8541]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the project post game scene haha! 🤣 You two are funny and amazing couple. I don’t own a house but I love learning different things that could be helpful in the future. Some materials I learned that could be helpful or willing to try on my personal art projects.

[@MombiePlaysBarbie]

I have to say...I came across your channel because I'm working on making over a victorian style dollhouse and I have become so positively hooked on this restoration of yours!!!!! That door is beyond gorgeous and I am so thrilled that you have taken such care to let it live on!!!!!!!

[@debbyparker5431]

You guys are such DORKS , and I say that with a ton of affection 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@smooshiebear80]

They aren’t dorks, they are dorktastic!

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

Sorry to hear about the stress with the door project. Better to have it saved and painted than not having it at all :)

[@vickiephilpitt7697]

Love the "head set and microphone", another example of using your imagination. So cute.

[@melmcd100]

As someone who has pretty much none of the skills you two have, I stand in complete awe and respect! You approach this mammoth task with such ease and your patience, positivity, confidence and humour inspire me with every video!!! Thank you for these informative and entertaining videos!!!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Wow, thank you Maryellen!

[@christinemccoy5237]

You did an amazing job on the door. I actually loved it raw! Very talented.

[@ThePolypam]

So did I! But the epoxy would still have been really obvious. I think it worked out in the end. What a gorgeous door that gets to live on. Were I to live there, I would go out of the house just to admire it lol.

[@brittanymiranda2809]

my husband and I are starting a huge home project on a not so old home 😅 But, I am trying to add in as much character as possible. Your videos just deepen my desire to one day restore and old, beautiful home! Love from Oregon 🌲

[@markbelloni4022]

I experienced (and am experiencing) the same thing with all of my pine doors! I feel your pain. I'm opting for paint, too. So glad to hear someone else's similar struggles!

[@OurRestorationNation]

It’s SOOO frustrating!!!!

[@markbelloni4022]

@@OurRestorationNation Be sure to give an update once it's painted!

[@karenwright8556]

Good episode. The front door looked good just sanded, too bad,love the designs,well beautiful anyway. Can't wait to see back on track the 🏠...here I go ...next episode,please.

[@RenewedColonial]

Love watching you two! Such an inspiration! 🙏🏻

[@brendalaveine7756]

Osiyo. From the Ozarks. Appreciate U restoring to the originalality of homes character. Going on 92y old. This was how many homes were when I was a child. It's nice seeing this again. Good luck and blessings.

[@donnabrown8278]

"Remuddled"? As a veteran of a number of renovation/restorations, I LOVE that!!

[@deniseschweigl1283]

Love this episode! My front door has wood missing and you showed me how to fix it!!!! Thank you!!’❤️

[@vickiephilpitt7697]

Laine, if you have to paint the door, consider painting the carved raised panels a darker contrast so the carvings stand out almost like stenciling.

[@elvisgirlfranko]

I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I am now in love with these old style homes … this is new to me the love for the character of the homes … I can’t wait to continue to see the updates on this house … both of you make these videos so enjoyable …. Kudos to both for your love of life and love of each other

[@beccalussier3827]

You’re both doing such phenomenal work. Keep it up and don’t let the setbacks get you too down. They happen but I have confidence that the house will be beautiful when you finish with or without that paint on the door.

[@KentuckyGirl]

It was so pretty seeing the reflection of that waving flag 🇺🇸 behind you during the video. I love your French provincial blue also.💙 How often will we get a walk through of Millie?

[@OurRestorationNation]

Maybe we should have a new tour next visit.

[@jptexas4463]

I think "Project Post Game" is a definite keeper. I laughed so hard I was crying!! love you guys. Cheers from deep South Texas

[@FloridaClay]

Love the door! You know there is a solution other than paint. Instead of staining the wood, sand it again and then stain the shellac, varathane, or whatever you want to use as a final sealer finish or get a prestained finish. It should look great.

[@jenaemarieAZ]

“Flaws are just character.” Laine is inspiring as ever!

[@HermicraftAddict]

This door is so beautiful! It was amazing before and now it's just wow...

[@Ali-cn1du]

I live in a cookie cutter home in Nevada and I can hear the man across the street on his cell phone from my closed up room on the other side of the house. Homes these days are about as sturdy and sound as tissue paper. I long to move to a place where the homes are sturdy and beautiful. A victorian that isn't a dental office would be spectacular! We don't have old homes that wonderful in my city for residential. The oldest ones left look like ranch homes in they valley.

[@jenihansen7201]

CONGRATZ ON 25 YEARS....BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH.

[@mjc42701]

So glad I found your channel, the hard work, blood,sweat, tears and love you put into restoring, preserving these homes, is saved right along side of the original people who crafted them. Thank you.

[@jourdyn414]

Love your humor and that you show the good and the bad during the restoration process. Love this series!

[@mmatson5030]

Gorgeous results on that door!! You are so inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing. Love it!

[@simplemaiden2798]

We do t have many older homes up where I live but I love restoration of older homes. Love this channel

[@Polkadotpearl]

I have fallen for a Victorian fixer-upper in Oklahoma. I’m trying to decide if I can afford to rehab it. This led me to your videos and now I’m binge watching them all.

[@AuntieBrennie]

Project Post Game is genius and hysterical! You two are now my favorite POWER COUPLE! This really rocks! B~}

[@dawns4641]

I agree on 80’s and 90’s crap. We are restoring our bathroom back to the 1910’s. Painted antique doors are pretty too!

[@jennifersosebee8761]

Thanks for entertaining us! Love y’all! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kaymendenhall786]

The door is so beautiful! You've done an amazing job!

[@mayelasanchez5258]

I felt so heart-warmed by you guys showing love and appreciation for each other. Thank you for not editing that out 💖

[@reneerauls3045]

You two are awesome. Project Post Game is hysterical. A lot of love and a great sense of humor are must haves for these restorations!

[@YuliSayuri]

Just love watching you two, your teamwork with love, respect, and fun, and your beautiful and thoughtful restoration work. Thank you for making me realize how beautiful and important those American historic houses in those states where I have never been to.

[@deidrestalvey4284]

I just love you two!!!!! Thank you so much for doing what you do AND SHARING with us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@inhale3384]

Laine, I ❤️ love your “Show More Love” t-shirt! It is perfect for my job with kids & their families. I just got back home from buying one. 👏 I know you don’t sponsor any products yet, 😉 but I had to get this one! Thanks for the inspiration! In addition, it is great seeing a couple adoring each other too. ❤️😊

[@OhhowHelovesus777]

I never knew how bad tetanus can be. I decided to read about it a while back when I was required to have it to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Also, so funny about the doorbell.

[@FranNyan]

"Flat-head screws, my mortal enemy" I felt that in my SOUL. Worst part of any restoration or repair project...

[@michelledry9030]

I think it will be beautiful painted!! Your play by play Kevin is hysterical. Since we are going into football season that bit is perfect!

[@jacquelinelangworthysmith8589]

OK, that was fun. Makes me feel better about the little, tiny 835 sq. ft. house Tom and I inherited. Born in 1956. Oy! The work we're doing!! Thanks!!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Glad to hear you are going to keep pushing on with the door. It is a beautiful door.

[@educationiskeytoallthings6976]

I think you two are a gorgeous couple. Two beautiful people. Great job!

[@nicole-kr8qi]

You two are amazing! I've been binge watching your victorian restoration. I love the relationship you two have, as well as the beautiful work you both do. Love the flirty and playful relationship, such a beautiful and genuine connection you have. Your channel is amazing!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Thank you so much Nicole!!

[@spddiesel]

Tip for Kevin, cargo shorts and knee socks; think of the Boy Scout summer uniform. It allows you to keep cooler than jeans but still offers some protection for your lower legs. Just be sure to wear your work boots, never skimp on footwear.

[@mamab4211]

Thank you for sharing!!! I get more excited for the end with every video!! 🥳💞

[@colleenepage]

How exciting!! Finding and cleaning that brass door bell alone is worth the entire restoration. 🙌

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

What a Beautiful Door. The bell polished came out beautifully.

[@highlandmary33]

Exactly! If the structural element is intact… you’re home free with wiring & plumbs. Then the fun begins.

[@rebeccah8912]

I love your mind set and heart on restoring beautiful old houses. Your knowledge is amazing! I wish I could do what you are doing in the Northern Midwest (SD/MN) THANK YOU!

[@apcadd80]

Enjoyed the episode and I am learning so much. We have an old farmhouse in the Blue Ridge mountains of NC, my joy. I plan on refinishing some reclaimed tongue and grove porch ceiling boards to put on the ceiling of the stair landing on the 2nd floor. Going to try some of the products you mentioned. And I also bought a used copy of the house book that lists the type of American houses! Love it and plan on using it to help restore details to my home. Thank you for the info you have shared.

Fun Update! I'm sorry the door ended the way it did, but if you decide to paint it, it will still be just as beautiful. It really is a beautiful door! I loved the doorbell too. I can't wait for the next update! :D

[@mumv2089]

OMGOSH!!!!! That is so incredibly beautiful. I thought the it was all carvings that were recessed. What a change, I think you did great.

[@tularegirl]

I had the same thoughts too about the cookie cutter homes of today and the old homes of yesterday still outlasting the new homes. 😜🙌

[@briannaoduinn8902]

I think you'll make the door beautiful. I know that you're not happy with painting it, but as you said, sometimes you just have to paint. Can't wait to see it when you are through.

[@Funshine4u]

Hahahahaha!! Ya'll are so funny together!! I love that door, so beautiful, so sorry it isn't taking the stain well, but I know it will look stunning when it's finished.

[@judithhuber7144]

The "push" panel was upside down to discourage door-to-door salesmen. Friends would know that was the doorbell push, but salesmen would see it, not see the word push, get discouraged, and walk away...

y'all are a personal inspiration for me. thanks for doing what you do. I CAN'T WAIT for Laine to get to decorating! >.< I know some people might give you shit for painting the door, but sometimes it's the only way, and at least you're committed to keeping the door with the house.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Thank you Courtney!

[@nanasewdear]

I love that blue. We call that color "periwinkle". I have a bedroom painted that color and it looks amazing with a soft white and some deep red accents. Sorry your project was frustrating. I don't think there's anything wrong with 'cutting your coat to fit the cloth'. You go ahead and paint that doo, Boo!

I've repaired doors by cutting and shaping a like piece of wood to glue in place. Make the piece oversize so you have plenty finish smooth.
