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!

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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-ekik]

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.

[danaism]

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

[moriahkats]

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

[christinestephenson]

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

[ourlittleclaytonia]

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.

[traceymansfield]

Wow taking those walls down made such a difference 😁

[lawrencemitchell]

Wow, congratulations 👍. Love, love that front 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!

[graciemaca]

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!❤👍

Tremendous amount of work…but absolutely a beautiful outcome!
