Hi Caleb and Kim! Here's a fun fact my wife and I learned when we were doing research on how to furnish our Victorian home with period appropriate pieces. Victorians actually made furniture out of Paper Mache! They glued the paper over heavy wire frames to create furniture that was almost indestructible.

There's something old about putting an angel on top of the tree and somewhere in the room you could have an old tin jack-in-the-box. That little nook is perfect for the Christmas tree - lights show from the outside. Don't forget to hang some stockings on the fireplace and eat a gingerbread cookie. 🎄🧸🔔📯🥁⛄🎩🥕🧣🧤

What a wonderful Thanksgiving video surprise! The Campbell House is so beautiful all dressed up for Christmas! It’s swoon-worthy! 😂 I loved your garland on your stair railing and your tree was a true delight! Kaleb, your father is so supportive of your work and the channel - he’s the (mostly) unseen third set of hands and a strong voice in the comments. How lovely that he took the time and trouble to make the popcorn and cranberry garlands for the tree. That’s not an easy task and they look so sweet! They really help to make the tree complete! We appreciate all you do, too, John. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. 🍁🦃🍁

It was always my dream, starting when I was 6, to restore the house we lived in 1968. My sisters too, I found out later. It had the same roof as your house. Even tho it was run down, we saw its beauty even at such a young age. Unfortunately it was torn down before we were old enough to save it. They're were several mansions on the road torn down and replaced with new. Craziness. I'm glad to live vicariously through your efforts to save this masterpiece.

Hey guys! This post really lifted my spirit! I decorated for years for the enjoyment of my family. Sadly, but great for them, Jesus decided to call them home. I am fully confident I will see them again! Just a little sad and nostalgic to see this video, but I LOVED it! My Dad was the one who introduced me to a "Music Box Christmas". It was a large vinyl record of recordings of the giant, stand-on-the-floor, wind up, cut-metal discs(the music) music boxes (my favorite was from a brand named "Regina") the collection of a wife of one of the early auto barons of Detroit. Dodge, I think? The sound coming from that music box was beautiful! And , that strand of gorgeous multi-colored glass ball garland. I have one of those from my Mom-it must've been my great grandmother's! She lived during that time. The music, garland, and the way the Campbell house was decorated reminded me of the way I decorate. Absolutely loved this video. And thanks for lifting my spirit! Merry Christmas!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄✝️

I would be a kid in a candy store in these houses. Growing up my parents would take us to every antique shop we passed by on holidays. At the time it was boring, but around age 10 I started to buy my own little antiques, especially old pop bottles and medicine bottles. Many years later, I am so happy for the memories i have of those trips and time with my family and it gave me the appreciation that I have today for the beautiful craftsmanship from the Victorian-1960s eras.

It is an incredible blessing to see all you do to your house and whatever support you get is richly deserved. From the comparative analysis of ceramic floor cleaners, to the redoing of windows, to the stripping of woodwork, I have learned so much and for that I thank you. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

He carries and restores chandeliers from some of the oldest homes in Saint Louis. Your city is full of wonderful treasures homes and antiques.

I took a moment remembering of Christmas past from my childhood in Canada. A time when families would place a Victorian tree as the centrepiece in the middle of the room, carefully decorating it with small bags containing everything from popcorn balls to chocolates and candy fruits, etc. On Christmas Eve, we would gather with family and friends, and during the festivities, you would wear a blindfold, circle the tree, and pick your treats. Along with some gag gifts, nothing too bad, but someone always got a bag of coal-a couple of BBQ briquettes wrapped up. Which usually means you had to do the dishes afterwards. These are fun times filled with laughter as a way of bringing people together before the celebrations of Christmas. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone.

I’m with Kim, that food looks good! During the Victorian, food security was available to more people, but back when our European ancestors had that mid-winter meal (waaaaaay before Christianity was a thing), winter started the new year around mid October, and when the winter solstice came around there was a feast/celebration since that was the point at which spring was closer and closer each day. It was also kind of an FU to winter, etc. As Christianity came into play, dates shifted, and pagan celebrations were renamed and absorbed into Christianity (including just about every aspect of modern Christmas such as the tree, the greens used, present giving, etc), so here we are. It’s awesome to me that these ancient traditions still live on.
