Someone needs to review the definition of restoration

I applaud this lovely couples’ restoration of the wonderful old building, but lament the glitzy interiors, so not in keeping with the style of the building. I did not care for the color blocked exterior either, but expect it will improve as the cedar fades. I must confess to some envy though- the views were stunning, the sound of rushing water just fabulous, and the terrace off the master bedroom was a genius idea. Long may they enjoy their home and each other. And kudos to them for expending love and care on a crumbly old building. I’m all for historic preservation!

Kind of sad they didn’t put the water wheel back in 😢

Or is not "the" wheel, a micro-hydro plant that could power the home.

Judging by the walk through the interior will show no signs you are in an ancient mill, missed opportunity for an unusual decor unlike any other. I've converted a chapel years ago and when you walk in you in no doubt whst the building was, but still has all the modern facilities and luxuries of the modern world with a twist that every entrant when they arrive admires . How these iconic buildings should be done.

While I applaud the concept of saving historic buildings and giving them new life, I feel this is a lost opportunity. Over and over the narration emphasizes the goal of retaining the original character of the building, but leaving a few remnants of beam, brickwork, and stone are not enough to accomplish this. The entire exterior of the building has been transformed by color-blocked siding and balconies with glass balustrades into the look of a suburban apartment complex. And inside they've simply plugged in a ho-hum middle class interior without grace or sympathy. [The other mill example that came mid-episode did better.] I'd rather see the old mill as it was, left alone to live out its remaining years.
