We have been living in our over 100 year old farmhouse for a few months now, and decided to give a tour since its too cold out to film anything in our garden today. There aren’t many old homes in Western Canada left, so having a place built in 1902 is rather unique. Hope you enjoy this weird 100 year old farmhouse tour!

I love your farmhouse and videos. I have been following you for awhile. Your flowers and veggies are GREAT! Please think safety, kids jumping on the bed will hurt their heads.
You guys really have a nice and cozy home ☺️
Splendid, and a photo bombing cat at 2.40
Love love love
Could the bookcase in the “smoking room” have been a doorway previously?
You need an electric blanket upstairs!
Couldnt live without mine!!
This ols video popped up in my feed. That was fun. I live in a 112 year old farm house (that is also SUPER weird) and have a cat named Sadie. <3
What a lovely couple !
What an amazing farm !
What a weird farmhouse !
Thanks so much for sharing your lives.
What a wonderful old house! Your daughter’s cute little voice brought a smile to my heart!
Those super wide boards over the window trim I'm sure were for "a big drapery look" when using pinch pleated pairs of draperies. You calculate how far on the wall to take them out so when you open them you have full clearance of the view out the glass. The boards were because you could have ruined the walls with the weight of the draperies. Yes, old ladies like them big and full and really heavy! LOVE your videos ~ just found you.
Just stumbled upon this video and it was so lovely to visit your farmhouse. Would love to see an updated house tour sometime when the gardening season winds down and when you are feeling better Serina ❤️
My Grandparents built a Sears Catalog home back around 1920. I would bet that your original house only matched the footprint above the basement. Back then, all of the rooms would have been very small. Over the years as previous owners added more kids to this home, they likely added on spaces which is why you have rooms leading to other rooms. This most likely explains why so many of your rooms don't have adequate heat/air in them. Your mud room was most likely built as more of a back porch where the woman of the house would put bread and pies to cool, and wasn't intended to have plumbing in there. I would bet that your master bedroom is actually part original house, and part add-on, but someone didn't do the math correctly, which resulted in the joining room addition not being at the same level, resulting in the stage. I wonder how much history you can find on the evolution of your house. The lower rooms with all of the exterior doors on them may have been originally been added for farm hands to live in at one point with no access to the main house. A later owner may have decided to add an interior door, again causing the room inside a room thing you have. Not sure if Canada does a census like we have here in the States, but it would be interesting if you can trace back to 1902 who were the occupants of the home. My Grandmother came here from Norway when she was only about 18, and my sister and I had fun looking up her and her siblings in the census from 1900 to see the ages and names of all of the occupants along with their work status as a farm hand, housekeeper, wife, farmer, etc.
