IT'S A BLAST TO WORK ON!

It's a pleasure to restore!

 We bought our cottage on September 16, 2022 

and never regretted it

We Love Its Quirkiness!

It's an exciting archaeological journey...every day. 

But not for the faint of heart!

It's a Mystery!

  Barbara and I love that Our 1905 Cottage Restoration feels like an intriguing mystery.

Indian Summer days...

 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.

Rob Doesn't Know This Yet!

I think I'll tell him later!

our balanced partnership

nearly 60 years together.

 “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 ENDLESS JOURNEY

  “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.”
