The Stately Tudor - EXTREME DIY Home Renovation Start To Finish

It has been one year since we started our "Stately Tudor" project and it's finally done! Watch this video to see all the before and after shots of our extreme DIY home remodel. The Stately Tudor was by FAR our biggest DIY project yet. We knew when we bought this home that it would be a home we live in for many years. Because of this, we took extra time with each detail and transformed the home into exactly what we were hoping for! We wanted to bring back in a lot of the "Old-world" character that Tudor houses often have. We absolutely love how it all came together!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much for watching! It's so surreal to look over the past year and how far this project has come! We appreciate you all!

[@RobynWatts]

Wow what a pure renovation magic! The homeowners' commitment to transforming every corner of their house is commendable, and the final result is nothing short of spectacular. This video is a fantastic motivator for anyone considering a DIY renovation project.

[@dana44ism]

I can hardly wait to see the pool room. I hope you two will share the upstairs with us as well:)

[@elizabethbeem7541]

Absolutely dying to see a finished sunroom/mud room update!!

[@toryminier3760]

I did this exact thing running a shop vac at bottom of pool and pooring outside pool 1000's of times as an 8 year old. Really makes you appreciate a pool.

[@tashsikkes]

So proud of you guys, your home is absolutely stunning! Hard work has definitely paid off 🙌 🥳

[@romylongpre9275]

The darker tile from the island would have looked so good as the backsplash with the copper hood!!

[@beverleyoakland298]

Agree popcorn ceilings date the house. Removing the cedar strip is also a great idea as your eye does stop your eye. Good design desisios! Love what your doing. From. So. Calif.

[@scottvandyke6468]

I love your videos afro you guys been helping me through a lot are you still depression but I've been feeling better now 😀 😅 ❤

[@jenniferl6553]

Thank you for this awesome, long video. I even enjoyed re-watching some of the video that I saw quite some time ago. Wow, u two are incredibly hard working and both definitely got a good catch in the other! Everything looks AMAZING. As for the windows, have some be diamond shape and some plain but definitely don't have some square shape. 3 different ways is too much. I think the concrete would look much, much better if you added a stain to it (if that's possible). I think the floors and range hood are my favorite parts, and the stairs look awesome too. You guys should be very proud of yourselves, u really turned this home into a show stopper!

[@RemoteBuilder]

Your home is absolutely stunning! Hard work has definitely paid off 🙌 🥳

[@scottvandyke6468]

Please keep some of the diamond Windows it looks so pretty

[@brendamcadams9122]

Crock Pot w/chicken breast boneless and skinless w/chicken broth and spices;slow cook until pulled apart for a dinner with tiny potatoes or sandwiches,really delicious!

[@MamaKP]

Your house looks amazing! I am in love with your new kitchen. ❤ I can’t stop thinking about that cobblestone backsplash but I can’t find a link for it. Could you put a link or tell me where you bought it?

[@conniesisco6468]

I was looking for the link as well! Those tiles are gorgeous.

[@tamaracarlson4290]

Fantastic job it all looks beautiful.

[@charlakirby4136]

The usual rule is double the budget and triple the time. I can’t wait see it done!

[@delrosario7453]

You can use bone broth instead of water to cook savory dishes such as quinoa, rice, pasta, etc.

[@terrijuanette486]

If that is a 'Weeping Willow' in front of your house - right beside it? IF it is, I would relocate it. Willows are gorgeous (and get too large for where it's sitting) but the worst of it is the roots of the Willow tree is notorious for seeking out water and destroying pipes under the home & in the ground as it grows to it's full height.

[@iristinajohnson8887]

You can freeze the broth. And use it later

[@beckymerriner2493]

I think that was a great idea because next to the paint even the primer, it looks yellow

[@amandahutchison5360]

That garden is just awesome, love the house but personally I have always hated diamond windows as they are a real pain to clean, love the new layout

[@dianamiller2448]

I think that diamond panel is in between the glass and can be removed easily by taking off the inside glass. I had windows like that. They were Pella windows. I think she mentioned earlier video that they was removable. I could be wrong but they do make them removable. FYI

[@suefriesen1161]

Your house is very beautiful

[@MountDew007]

I want your camper...so badly need it.

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

The dates on the packages and food are NOT expiration dates those are the dates that the store can not sell past. So stuff is not expired. Thats the biggest misconception people have and waste so much food. So now you dont have to throw food away that is still good.

[@kerid9658]

I think scraping the ceilings in the great room was the right choice, but standing on that ladder like that wasn’t. You need some scaffolding.

[@lindacusick1156]

Should have put staging up, safer.

[@jaaustin500]

The rooms were so large already- getting rid of some of the walls just makes it feel like a gym rather than a home.

[@leahcushman5290]

Make a tortilla soup.

[@kathleenwright6300]

when you buy cheep it will look cheep so just keep that in mind at all times.

[@anthonymartinez2582]

No please no wallpaper wallpapers just lazy it's just so nasty you I mean I know it takes a lot of work to do while. But it's never any good when you can do so much more with something else and way better

[@moriahkats6775]

I would highly recommend putting a fence up around the pool to keep your kids safe when playing out in the yard. Just one less thing to worry about when coming to your kids safety

[@MrDeanmfitz]

Screw em

[@orlandifam]

It’s beautiful! Always keep those diamond windows! They make the house, in my opinion! You guys really did a great job!

[@hardywhitehead501]

Keep the diamond shape windows. That’s what makes it a Tudor. Love it all. Great work. Blessings for continued work.

[@JoyceSwaffard]

You guys are amazing. Your floors are fabulous. Great job on them. My husband and I use to do a lot of building and remodel, but, never to this extent. Sarah, when I saw you doing all the heavy lifting with the rocks and blocks, I said to myself, " that girl's got game". Continued good vibes and prayers for you and your sweet family. I'm 77 now and can no longer do this type of work but I can sure appreciate what you are doing.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!we appreciate your kind words!!

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

Wow, congratulations 👍. Love, love that front door.....also, the way the green in the great room and dining room pulled everything together 🤗. My back hurt just watching all the flooring install Jamie, but well done!

[@moriahkats6775]

Thank you for not painting that fireplace! Looks so good the way it is!

[@traceymansfield9347]

Wow taking those walls down made such a difference 😁

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

You guys have done an OUTSTANDING job but can we talk about that front door OMG I LOVE that door by far its my FAVORITE hands down and yes it looks like its always been there. Everything is AWESOME the backyard OMG i can go on and on its all REALLY REALLY GOOD. BEAUTIFUL JOB chip and joanna Gaines had some competition. Be proud at you equity sweat its a labor off love which your girls will be very happy growing up in such a beautiful home. ❤

[@mahsabakhshandeh8244]

I cannot believe the amount of work you two have done just by yourselves!!! I totally admire you guys!! Sometimes when sarah explained her ideas I wondered if it were going to look good and it actually turned out not good but awesome!! Keep up the good work you too♥️♥️ Your huge fan ☺️

[@DD-ek3ik]

Wow you two are amazing. I was so inspired by your can do attitude and hard work! Also inspired by your creativity, problem solving and strong commitment to doing quality work. It’s clear what it takes to create wealth - and it’s not easy. But seems highly rewarding.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!

[@ourlittleclaytonia4608]

I love it! My only concern with having a kitchen NOT overlook the backyard is you can’t keep an eye on kids as well if your doing dishes or cooking dinner.

[@lyndasmith9972]

Great job! Love all the hard work you both have done! ❤😊

[@graciemaca6996]

This Reno is like night and day. The green accents with gold are really cool! I especially ❤ the little green bathroom. The floor tiles are gorgeous! Everything you both have accomplished is stunning. Please keep the diamond windows bc they are unique. Looking forward to your future endeavors. 😊👍

[@jeannemccowan.3938]

Tremendous amount of work…but absolutely a beautiful outcome!

[@christinestephenson1742]

Oh and I agree!! Keep the diamond windows! Thet are a distinctive part of the architecture!

[@olgacampbell3918]

Hi Guys! Beautiful work ❤ Greetings from Coachella valley 🌴

[@babytoolz4u]

I know they're ugly but I would definitely look into getting a fence around the pool especially with young children. It takes one second for them to fall in

[@sr-lk7ol]

I really enjoyed the work but also liked watching both of you as a couple. Great job!

[@shalmaratrethewey9618]

You bought this from someone who gave you a deal because she thought your family was going to live in the house. But you called it a flip. I'm confused.

[@rosefazio1859]

You don’t have a lot of cabinets, where are you putting all your food, dishes, pots and pans, and small appliances?

[@TheTmayder]

So much hard work, but you guys seem to be enjoying it a lot! I would have been done about a quarter of the way, lol

[@monicariske]

Oh my... a long video ❤❤❤❤❤ 🤩 Excited to see everything all together!

[@barbwelch8148]

I love your house, so beautiful ❤ may I ask where did you get your vintage lights in your guest bathroom 😊I love the green paint on your cupboards and in the bathroom 😊💚💐

[@terrijuanette486]

Something we did for our pool that I'm SUPER happy about is installing the UltraUV by Paramount. It's a blue light that kills bacteria (including cryptosporidium) and makes it so you can use a fraction of the chlorine most pools require. Seriously less chlorine. You cannot smell chlorine at all at our pool nor when we get out of the water. Our neighbors heard about it and did it for their pool too. Unlike salt water it doesn't damage the pool nor the pipes. For the first 3 or 4 years after buying the house we struggled with algae. Eventually, we emptied our pool, had a service remove and install a new sealer coating (which turned out beautiful). With that changed we installed a new DE filter, pump and added the Ultra UV. Since then, we've not had a single issue with algae. Not one. The pool is glorious and bright and clean every single day with 1/2 the work than before - and less cost because we're not using all those toxic chemicals (only a very little bit of chlorine). I highly recommend it!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Ahh that’s interesting! I’ll look into it! Chemicals are expensive 🫠Thank you!

[@holsinger78]

I would replace all the windows make them look the same even the one in the sunroom and I would have gotten rid off the whole deck and started it from scratch it doesn’t look to good the one you left standing.

[@Andy-uy2ts]

Beautiful job,colours look amazing,well done to you both. 🇬🇧

[@robinalexander8429]

it makes me sad when people do renovations in open concept, to me it is a trend and it takes the integrity of the home down a notch.. but hey, it is your house so do what you will

[@Hookstohugs]

I love how industrious you guys are! The small bathroom is my favourite room, however you’ve made the place look incredible inside and out x

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks a ton!

[@evalinawarne1337]

[@conniemaldonado6097]

Hard workers!!! Congrats!!!

[@Brittany_Thurman]

You both are so talented. I love everything about the house

[@heavenlymorsels]

Lovely - so much work though so worth it - it’s all beautiful 😍 though quick question - what happened to no green paint in the dining room? 😅

[@jenniferl6553]

lol Sarah couldn't help herself, she even had a green sweater on at the end which made me laugh. kudos to Jamie for letting her go with the green dining room, it looks awesome and makes everything cohesive

[@philandheatherfujimoto4331]

Looks amazing guys. So inspiring!! God bless.

[@michellepereira2328]

You did a great job. I live all the green color and wallpaper. I wondered if it might make sense to paint the molding on the green dining room wall the same color as the wall. You were so lucky to find the copper hood and front door.

[@JadeBlackWolf]

You can use it to boil noodles just to give them extra umami.

[@leithsapitan1428]

You guys amaze me.i am exhausted and i just watched.

[@christinestephenson1742]

Gorgeous home! You two amaze me with your talent! Seems like every DIY you do turns out looking professional! I adore your antique front doors and you guest bathroom. You had a vision for this house and it is coming to life! Enjoy your home!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you so much!

[@cspvideo]

This is an engaging video. It takes a great deal of planning to create a story of this length that will hold viewer interest throughout. The flashbacks were cleverly placed. Congratulations on a great piece of storytelling AND the terrific work on your home.

[@cyrusready-campbell1874]

what color is the dining room paint? looks great!

[@vickichenier8917]

I love the idea of that room as the kitchen. I love my kitchen open to the great room. Then you can feel more included instead of being isolated. You’ll be very thrilled with the popcorn gone. Next popcorn removal take your 1 or 2 gal weed sprayer. First fill your tank with warm water and spray a decent section of your popcorn area with your warm water. Wait about 5 minutes. The popcorn will shave right off. ( I have a sprayer I bought new that I only use for that purpose, so it has no chemical residue.)

[@morganmueller7737]

Congrats! I really look up to you both as a couple when it comes to your faith and real estate endeavors. 😊 is the a culmination of all the stately tutor videos of the last year? It’s feel familiar and I want to make sure I’m not watching what I’ve seen. Thanks!!

[@glendalab7567]

Talk about sweat equity!! Love everything you've done. Kudos!!

Almost 2 hours of BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ....my god 🙄

Your house is so beautiful! Absolutely awesome job! ❤

[@Peptalk1w34]

Kudos to all your hard work 🎉. Looks awesome

[@carolelee571]

All your homes have been lovely. I am positive this home will be just as lovely.

[@jennifersmith8640]

You have great taste in Pasta Sauce! lol Mid's is made locally to me. I've always loved the look of Tudor homes.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

😋😀

[@ViKee010]

Wish I could have given you this little self learning idea before all the popcorn ceiling was taken down, but for future reference, here it is. My son’s bathroom had the same kind of popcorn ceiling and from his showers, it actually started falling down. So the steamer would have been a big benefit in just letting that popcorn fall down on it own. So much easier than scraping. I love your new home. ✌🏻🤍

[@Amanda-0987]

Do Americans not have to fence their pools????? In Australia you literally cannot build a pool without a fence. Even larger temporary pools (like ones you might put up for the summer and take down in winter) require you to fence them. You can be fined if you don’t have a fence. This is the second time this week I’ve seen an American pool with no fence. There was a campaign in the 90’s called Kids Alive Do The Five…step 1 was ‘fence the pool’ and step 2 was ‘shut the gate’. Y’all stress me out with your no pool fences and lax sun safety…😅

[@graciemaca6996]

I ❤ a stately English Tudor home! Awesome job on renovating the kitchen! Changing the location for the kitchen then opening up the walls (altho very costly) was the best idea for this home.👍 Gorgeous Emerald green cabinets and wallpaper in the foyer. The one thing I would have different is to have only one colour for the hardware, faucet and stove-cover. Either all gold, or all copper, but not a mix. I would have chosen all copper, including a copper sink, faucet, stove-cover, drawer-pulls and copper on the stove knobs and handle instead of silver and copper lighting. But I realize that it's your home, your decision.😊 I ❤❤❤ the curved front door, so elegant! Love the pool, gazebo and curved retaining walls! This just shows that anyone with the notion, energy and $$ can accomplish so much by DIY. You weren't afraid to try new things and it worked out faster and beautifully for you! Looking forward to future changes at your new home!❤👍

[@AleeshaDIY]

Came for the reno stayed for the corgi

[@loricameronfenton2094]

Great carpentry job, attention to detail...sad though way too much green... I understand why the chairs were such a deal at 150 for all 4... Olive Garden? Pizza Nova restaurant... the 80's when imitation Cain was in.. Your powder room wall paper reminds me of the Rain Forest Cafe... U should loose the chairs, those romantic rounded front doors creating a majestic entrance to dining in or take out.

[@manifesting_vibes]

Your not a mess guys your realistic and a thrill to watch because who doesn’t run into money, time and build delays lol i love it and your energy guys keep up the amazing work!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much! 😊😊

[@cottonp20]

For future reference, pine should have a coat of sealer on the wood before it is stained, it is so porous that it absorbs stain unevenly,I use a clear or "blonde" shellac ,which is made with a alcohol base,that makes it dry in minutes, an hour at the most! It is then qwikly sanded to cut off the raised grain, that is usually done with a 220 grit sanding sponge!, then use a tack rag to get rid of the dust, then the wood will stain more like a hardwood like oak,that doesn't let the stain penetrate like pine does! FYI, pine is notorious for not staining evenly! Probably the hardest wood to get a good even color! But using a shellac,or maybe what MINWAX calls wood conditioner,( which is very close to the same thing), just more expensive and it takes longer to dry! But when pine is sealed, the stain will go on evenly! It is a little more work, but it will definitely make the difference!

[@carolperrin2899]

Lovely home and remarkable work. But you either want Tudor style, or modern. Modernization and upgrades are one thing, but why buy a Tudor house if you wanted “modern” home? Get a fence around the pool up!

[@fstoll3]

A KZbinr that goes by "Bonz" he and his family remodel and build homes in the Seattle Washington region, had a video about using a spray on the ceiling to make the drywall smooth, it didn't take him very long, the uneven particles basically just came right off. You should look up his video and find out what was the spray he made.

[@beckymerriner2493]

The one in the sunroom I would make it bigger so when you’re outside, you could open that up and be able to handle things out through the window, because isn’t that where the pool is?

[@michellejaggard9657]

Your bone broth will be fine for another 6 months, don't worry about it. You could use it to boil your noodles in, then add a can of cream of something soup (I would choose mushroom, you might choose chicken) and you could add a can of drained chicken chunks. complete meal.

[@keepitreal86]

I love the kitchen idea!! Can't wait to see what you guy's do to this beautiful home!!

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Sarah, how much money are you gonna spend moving all that plumbing around? 💰💰 💰 💰 Hope you have lots of cash. 🤓

[@keepitreal86]

Omggggg I absolutely love love love what you guy's did so beautiful ❤️❤️

[@pamaladraeger]

The thing about a high ceiling in the kitchen is that if you cook in a kitchen grease and steam go up to the ceiling. Even with exhaust fans and vent hoods. How will you clean it?

[@aliqod4086]

The cheap wash basin is with the rough plumbing instead of where the sinks are. I figured that out when I was installing a wash tub in my basement. LOL

[@shelleybuckley444]

So happy for your family.. you’re on the right track!!

[@toryminier3760]

Just my opinion but Samsung probably is most modern type of appliances, also the leading complaints company for appliances

[@beckymerriner2493]

That little freezer in the camper you could put that broth in there, so don’t spoil if you freeze it

[@redrubyslippers8284]

What about the upstairs? Bedrooms, baths, etc... And the outside?? 😢😢😢

[@roslynmorris7697]

Absolutely beautiful!!! ❤

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

The leaded glasd windows need to stay that part of what tudor is. The quality of glass is better then modern. But those windows belong to the tudor dont get rid of them keep something original to the house

[@cottonp20]

I forgot to mention that the shellac should be "cut" diluted by about half if you buy the the premixed kind

[@AlanHouser]

Paint the fridge to match, yo. Your eyes are pulling there for no reason.
