I’m so honoured to be in your top three! Yes, we’re all working together on the next season of Sarah’s show and having a great time! Belleville is just PACKED with beautiful old houses. I was at the Corby Rose Garden last weekend and it’s still looking gorgeous. That’s one of the prettiest parts of town I’ve ever seen. Love those houses! Thanks for following along Darlene.

Driving down Simcoe St. South feels like another time and era!!
I was trilled to see you on a similar old home porch for Sarah 101 season 2!! I heard from the grapevine you are on her team.
How great!!! 3 of my favourite designers ( I love Tommy too) on 1 show. So happy for you.
Hoping you do an episode here in Belleville- lots of great old homes at a super price too compared to Toronto or Oshawa!!! Just dreaming maybe…

They’re in a perfect up and coming area near a down town section that’s quickly being revamped because of a new university. It’s really exciting! I want to buy them all! What an investment!!!

But would expect them to be quite expensive – but then I live on the West Coast.

But as all Reno at older houses, probably lots of problems will pop up the moment the wall is opened up. Still I will give it a shot if the house is affordable to begin with and hey, what a chance to make the house totally you!!

Thanks for sharing Michael! How is life at SRD?

I always wanted to bring one back to its original luster. Now I am too old to do that. My daughter owned one that was over 200 years old and with much of its original charm. I always thought that I would be able to feel the presence of families past if i sat quietly enough ,but other than the family cat sitting with its ears forward looking up the long staircase, I only felt the presence of peace. I love the second house that you posted the best with its long verandah across the front and center doorway. How beautiful it could look in all seasons. Wow, thanks for the peek into the past Micheal. Nancy
