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

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. ❤

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!

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!

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

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 😉

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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

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

I love your channel sooo much omgggg

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!

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! 💕

I am so very proud of you, and extremely happy for you as well. You are the exact opposite of my son. He tore up my home, leaving with no kitchen, a torn up basement, and stole all of my money too. If you wanna see it, it is on my channel that I make videos of for my friends across the world. So it isn't a formal channel, just one that shows my pals what I am up to. You are such a breath of fresh air as I think of all that could have been for my son. Since he took away my entire future retirement savings, I will probably have to eventually sell this home to a discounter. Watching you thrive is such a blessing, and I thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. You are such an awesome person, and I wish you all of the very, very best that love and life have to offer. May God always hold you in His loving Arms, and bestow upon you endless blessings.

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.

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.

So happy you didn’t destroy the integrity of the house. You did a superb job of enhancing the house yet keeping it historically in tact.

In just one year it's a huge change. And it's definitely got style and character. All the things combined so perfectly!

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

I was thinking you could open up the guest bedroom into Marie's room to give her a private sitting / living area with private access to her bathroom/closet!!

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!!)

Cannot believe you did this in one year, everything you touch becomes magical! How talented 🥹♥️

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. :)

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

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!

I have no words...your energy level, and "eye" for the color, light, and creativity is amazing. Well done!

Love, love, love the pink bathroom😍

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!❤

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.

I get this kind of medieval vibe from the decor in your house. I love the whole house, but my favorite is the pink bathroom. 💖

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

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!

I take great pride in what you have achieved at such a tender age. I hope your mum understands this virtual pride from a distant land…❤

Your home is your ‘castle’…the grand living room on second floor…oh my goodness!…how beautiful!!

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

Drew you're so talented it makes me feel bad about myself 😂🤘 I love it! and your home!

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. :)

Wow when you are busy the time sure does go fast… I can’t believe it’s been one year already since you moved into your home.. You have accomplished so much it’s amazing you have done a fantastic job with the renovation and you kept the character if the period of the home.. bravo 👏

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

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.

YOUR SENSE OF STYLE IS IMPECCABLE, IMPRESSIVE, ASTOUNDING, INCREDIBLE!!!!

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 🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰

You have an incredible vision! I’m in awe of everything you do!

Drew! You have built quite the empire! This is so amazing and how you’ve included your family and Marie and providing income for others. You’re so caring and loving. Congratulations Drew, your home is completely lovely.

Drew, take care of yourself first. Your talent is inspiring and has a wonderful impact on first-time homeowners. So, please take time for yourself.

Drew, I don't know how but I actually forgot about the pink bathroom! Lol! So happy for you! Can't wait to see what other changes you will make.

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

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!

I’m obsessed with your style. PLEASE create a course for your interior design.

LMAO at the jeep grill comment. Everything looks really great!

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.

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

This house is not only beautiful, and the skillful result of well planned hard work, but, most importantly, it’s a cosy, livable, lovable space.

DREW YOU ARE SO DARN TALENTED! I have watched you for sometime and Can’t believe your drive, skills and creativity! Because of your talents the ski is the limit! Thank you for taking us all on your journey. ❤

Amazing House tour!! I love the house Drew!

This is pure bliss!! My grandparents had a 20's Spanish Revival house, and your new exterior color scheme is exactly the same! It gave me quite a nostalgic jolt the first time I saw it. You have such vision! I hope you feel better soon.

Even though this is not my type of style (I'm more of a cottage/farm house kind of girl), I can appreciate the beauty this house own, it feels like a piece of art made into a house. It is magnificent.

the pink bathroom is such a dream! it’s so pretty!

What an achievement at one year. Thanks for the before and after tour of each room. It is a grand house!

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

You are incredibly talented, Drew! I hope you’re feeling better xx

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.👍🏾

I can't believe how much you've accomplished in a year. And your designs have so much vision, they're works of art ✨

This is so cool, im excited to have a house so i can try some of your ideas

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. You vision and attention to detail is exceptional. mahalo nui / tfs & carry on!

I'm happy for your good fortune. You've apparently led a blessed life. I'm sure it's not always as rosy as the picture you paint. It all seems such a fairytale to a 60+ woman who's struggled all her life and never had a real home, never had a supportive family. I'm so happy to see that dreams CAN come true.

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!!!!

Drew, you're someone with vision, you've brought this home back to the life it was meant to have. Such an amazing job! ❤😊

This home, every room, but especially the kitchen and breakfast nook!!! It’s a DREAM!! 💫😍

Your hard work has definitely paid off. Your house feels like home.

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! Much gratitude to you Drew! I hope you are feeling much better! ❤

It is just amazing what you have accomplished in one year. Everything is just perfect and beautiful . I can’t wait to see what else you will do in the next year !!!

omggg the pink bathroom is iconic

This literally looks like a multi million dollar home. Not only have you raised the value of your house, but it looks aesthetically pleasing

Your accomplishments in this home are amazing. Your hard work has paid off in what is becoming a fabulous home. I love it. Repainting the outside of the house was brilliant.

So beautiful 💕

The house is amazing, and always evolving. Your friends are angels, not only do they work with you but they live w you, or just about (Justin) lol and that is a testament to the kind of person/boss you are. I think you’re adorable! 😊

Omg Drew!!! I'm so proud of you!! Your home is gorgeous 😍 ❤❤❤

Love everything you have done so far!❤Pure perfection! What a difference paint makes to the outside of a home. Also, I would kill to go shopping in your storage/studio room 😂

It’s a fantastic achievement in one year. You are just exceptional at what you do, and Jason must have been a God send in helping you. What can one say! Just beautifully transformed. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Luv to you all. Xx 😘

Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling your best Drew. I really love what you have done so far with your home. I love that moody feel. I think I need two houses -one moody plus the one I have now which is pretty much all white. The character in your house is amazing. You don’t see that in new builds. Can’t wait for your next video. Thank you so much for all the ideas. Take care 😊💕

I love how Rebecca shouted you OUT! Love watching the both of you. Your home is amazing. You did it! 😍😍😍😍

Hey, Drew! How lovely! The color palette is gorgeous! 😊👋🏼

It’s absolutely gorgeous ❤

I think using the lower floor bedrooms as studio storage spaces is inspired. It is separate yet part of you. And the upstairs just feels more intimate. Many blessings on your continued success and thank you for sharing your gift. ❤

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.

It's looking really amazing, Drew. Well freaking done! I just love this house so much. It has so much natural character and you are honoring it so well.

Lovely! You definitely turned that house into a home!

You’ve done a remarkable job, totally outstanding!

Does anyone else love when Drew gets excited how high his voice gets it's adorable ❤❤
