Reality
Daryl Hall certainly has a passion for music, having produced hit after hit as the co-founder and lead vocalist of the pop-rock group Hall & Oates. His creative side doesn't end there; however, for years Hall has stoked his love of vintage architecture by buying historic homes…
After designing the new space and signing off on the plans, Daryl Hall finally breaks ground on the addition to his 1787 farmhouse. Unfortunately it doesn't take long to discover soil issues and rotting cellar beams.
After some setbacks, the foundation for the addition to Daryl's 1787 farmhouse is in. It's time to start putting up some walls, but a problem with the town causes a big delay and finding the right summer beams proves difficult.
The second story walls are up and Daryl Hall is ready to get the roof on and the windows in. With the help of some creative carpentry techniques, the new roof will look like it's been settling for 250 years.
Daryl Hall is ready to start working on the inside of the house and this time he has a very special guest. Nicole Curtis will be stopping by to give Daryl a hand refinishing a salvaged door for the new kitchen pantry.
With the frame of the addition complete, it's time for Daryl Hall to button up the outside of the house. He'll have to find period doors for the entrances, get up the clapboard and find a mason to build the fireboxes and chimney.
With the outside of the house finished, Daryl Hall focuses on the indoors. First is the Stone Room where Daryl plans to play music. Along with finishing the interior, Daryl's getting ready for the opening of his new club
Daryl is ready to get started on the first floor, starting with the Sitting Room which will have a more formal and ornate look, using both reclaimed wood and crafted paneling from new lumber; a treasure hunt through Daryl's barn.
Daryl tackles the kitchen and he gives every detail his attention; custom-made, period accurate cabinets help give the room a historic look; Daryl seeks a vintage, refinished iron stove, an antique apothecary table and salvaged boards for the floor to round out the room.
It's been a long road and Daryl is close to finishing up work on the addition to his house. With family coming soon, the pressure's on. A problem with the fridge delivery and a last minute change to the yard threaten to stop his progress.
