Filmed in the historic Forest Lawn community of Webster, New York on the shores of Lake Ontario, it highlights the balance of craft, history, and marriage between hosts Rob and Barbara Kircher. Rather than a fast-paced house flip, the series focuses on carefully restoring a piece of history. It contrasts Rob's role as the hands-on "visionary" tackling structural and raw woodworking issues against Barbara's role as the pragmatic partner managing interior design, gourmet cooking, and budgets.
We bought our cottage on September 16, 2022
and never regretted it
It's an exciting archaeological journey...every day.
But not for the faint of heart!
Barbara and I love that Our 1905 Cottage Restoration feels like an intriguing mystery.
As a child, I used to roll through the fallen leaves in the front yard each autumn. Their scent was wonderful—and it is exactly what I am smelling now.
The handwriten ones are the best!
Rob is going to grill tonight
I like looking at all the possibilities before I move!
I think I'll tell him later!
“Rob and Barbara complement each other well. He is the visionary: a historian, woodworker, and heritage gardener. She is the pragmatist: an accomplished gourmet cook, colorist, and interior decorator with a refined eye for aesthetics.”
“Our 1905 Cottage Restoration, created by Rob Kircher and co-produced with his wife, Barbara Kircher, is a reality-style YouTube series that follows their hands-on renovation of a turn-of-the-century cottage in Upstate New York’s historic Forest Lawn Community. The series documents their effort to transform a neglected property into a modern showplace while preserving its original character.”
