THAT ONE TIME WE WERE ALMOST ON HGTV AKA MAYBE WE ARE TOO OLD, TOO FAT, OR THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE US

Well, here it is nearly two years after the fact. You all are always asking us "why aren't you on HGTV?" or saying "You guys REALLY need a show on Magnolia". It almost happened, but it didn't, so as a Halloween treat for you we thought we'd share some of what was created along the way.
Once upon a time a couple of kids (okay, middle aged persons) decided to start sharing their passion for preservation with the world on social media. Those kids (Middle aged persons) got noticed by television headhunters. A WHOLE LOT of headhunters, all of whom were just 100% certain they had stumbled upon the next great thing in the industry. But as in all good fairly tales, there were some villainous types: types that wanted to turn them into something they aren't and have them doing things they don't.
But, as in all fairy tales, there were some heroes too. There was a producer who believed in them and their ethos, and was willing to die on their hill. He respected them and saw that they wanted to stay true to who their existing audience knew them to be. He and his team were AMAZING, and really believed in these crazy kids and wanted to make the vision a reality.
How does this fairy tale end? The way it was meant to. These crazy kids weren't willing to sacrifice their mission for some version of fame, so there isn't a network show. But there is a beautiful community of social media friends who believe in them, support them, and show up every week to see what crazy things they are up to now. AND, we are all left with some really fun reels with some really fun production quality that shows them at their zaniest. So, we guess it's a happy ending after all. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the TV show that almost was.

I agree with everything, Jeff said Including Helen as my favorite house. I know you guys know how to restore a window - panes, glazing, etc. But how about mud and lathe on a wall? If I had an old house I would restore it instead of sheet rock.

The half that didn't want your unique talent of "restoration" on a HGTV Program , are obviously ignorant about the remarkable work you've done, the blood, sweat and tears it takes to accomplish it, and the contribution of the restorations to the historical significance of each and every home, in every State, to the cultural education of it's residents. It's always a labor of love and we're just glad you're able to share your accomplishments with those who appreciate it.

Hi Laine and Kevin! What if GOD ruined your plans so your plans wouldn't ruin you? You both are the epitome of integrity, genuineness, loving kindness, graciousness, humbleness, compassion, forgiveness, patience, perseverance, and thanksgiving. You are also history, historic architecture, interior design, and historic restoration/preservation powerhouses; well experienced, extremely knowledgeable, excellent teachers/leaders, and multi-faceted in all that you do, and enjoying what you do immensely. You would not have been able to do what you do how you do it working for so many "know-it-alls" on HGTV or any other show like that. Y'all are supposed to have complete freedom, doing things exactly the way you do them now, which allows you to be yourselves.... effective and productive in all your endeavors and taking full ownership of them. Y'all are not supposed to ever be scripted or "directed" to create an outcome. Please stay fantastic always! It's what all of your subscribers expect and love about the two of you! GOD bless!

What fun! The reason I don't watch HGTV anymore is that they are way more about selling heir sponsor's products and less about any type of DIY. I know that there is a DIY channel but they have also fallen into the "just hire someone" trap. Any really authentic restoration programming seems to devolve over time into a personality-driven sitcom, wasting time that could be spent learning. I don't need to know what Personality X and Y do in their spare time. I want to know how to restore my own home. You guys were fabulous and you made the right choice.

It feels like they had the choice between you guys and the HomeTown couple who also “revitalize historic properties” according to their blurb, and man, did the network go with the wrong concept. Did you guys have to hire the production company to make this piece or did the network hire them? This is wonderful and I would have loved to have watched this show!

The only problem with home improvement shows on TV is,they don't seem to want to fully restore a house.They claim they are and then they start taking out walls and painting everything white.White tiles on the walls and light colored floors.The only colors they seem to want to use is, white, black and gray.I hate the way they look after their done.I watch your videos because, you guys are authentic with the way you restore these houses.Just do what you do and forget HGTV.❤

Your content is better than anything on HGTV. They all look alike and not in a good way. Your craftsmanship & attention to details address all the challenges in each home. Staying true to the house and not trends makes each house a spectacular unique individual ready for the next 100years. Keep making your videos here on KZfaq. You’re great teachers of history, preservation, DIY, mortgage/project funding, vintage fabric care & everything in between.

Lane, you and Kevin continually amaze me with your knowledge of these old homes and the materials used in them. Then you restore these beauties very carefully, so they maintain and regain their original elegance. I just love to watch you work! If HGTV didn't want to give you a show it's their loss, as they are missing out on your beautiful work. I subscribed to your channel as soon as I ran across you because I am in awe of these old houses. My great grandparents (Dad's mother's parents) and my grandparents (Dad's parents) both built huge farmhouses with 2 storeys and basements (in Michigan) Both are still standing as far as I know (I've been in Texas 42 years) My grandparent's home was beautifully redone, putting 3 bedrooms and a bath upstairs that made sense. I remember spending family holidays in that house when Grandma would open the doors to the formal living room and let us go in. Such a beautiful home built by German immigrants (my Grandpa's parents) I'm 72 now to give you a timeframe.

Glad you did not go on TV.....I rid my home and life of TV February 1, 2013. Don't miss it a bit. I bought an 1868 home in Morgantown, WV in 1979 which the city wanted torn down and restored it (by writing a lot of checks). After moving back to the 5-acre property across town (an old farm), in 1994, I sold "The Ford House" to a couple who owns a business and just love it.

I’m so glad your comments are back on so I can tell you positive and wonderful things about your channel and you both. This was a lot of fun to watch and I’m glad you don’t have a show on HGTV. There seems to be a lot of things going on behind the scenes that I think don’t line up with your values and ethics. I like the way you both act with integrity and transparency. I think maybe you wouldn’t have that kind of autonomy with HGTV, which is more about ratings and $$$. They seem to like to create drama by rushing the timeline and completion date, which is not what you do. I love your channel and I admire so many things about you both and I’m glad I can comment again.🌸

Your tours of the historic grand dames are a time travel "zen" for me. You two are way too knowledgeable and respectful of history for HGTV and not "sell-outs" I get sick when I watch the so-called reno shows take out fireplaces, paint beautiful moldings, make every room white and gut out the personality of the original home. 99% of those shows do cookie-cutter trends and ruin the home's integrity. I'd bet the naysayers at HGTV were probably worried you'd refuse to comply with their demands to install an inappropriate style just for their advertisers. God bless you for it!

Those of us who follow you love that you are real, have emotions and aren't like those fake television people.

You can’t. The old keys can’t support the added weight of the thin set and tile, and eventually either the thin set will release from the incompatible material (plaster) or the whole wall will fall off. You need to had green or purple board first, securing it into your studs.

We can actually get tips and be friends with you which we couldn’t if you were on TV. Thanks for NOT DOING THEIR SHOWS! Love you guys

Glad that you have Instagram and KZfaq because I can’t get HGTV because I don’t have cable ,so this way I get to watch you!

I’d watch the heck out of that show but I already do! 😂 I am so glad you stayed true to yourselves. Keep doing what you are doing! You are a huge inspiration to me as my husband and I are restoring our own Victorian, and I can’t wait to see what you take on next!

I had to go back and watch this again. I’m so glad we get to see your own version of you here on KZfaq instead of some scripted version on tv ❤ (not even sure I’d get to see it either since I’m in Europe)

I know I’ve told you this Laine but I said it again yesterday. You managed to make the dentist more annoying-ALL my dentist plays on the tvs is whatever crap is on HGTV. Ugh. It killed me having to watch that yesterday. 😂😂😂

Honestly, you should write your dentist a letter (not a phone call, not a sentence at check out, not a text message) and explain that you find HGTV unacceptable. Suggest a 6 months poll of the dentist's patients and let everyone vote. What a concept! Remember that it is only by putting our opinions in writing that we can make a difference.

@@paulathepoodlelover true!! But the majority of the patients were women at that time and you know many are not preservation minded like us.

Man!! I would have tuned in every week for an episode!! I hope there is a future tv spot for y’all!! HDTV missed the boat! Loved that video!

I used to watch HGTV all the time as a kid, literally was on 24/7. I haven't watched a show from them in quite a while now, but if they scooped you up I definitely would watch again!

HGTV missed out BIG TIME and will be kicking themselves for years to come… but we’re all so frikken grateful to have you on KZfaq ❤ TV is dead anyway… its streaming and creator-led content with authenticity all the way baby xx
