Re: Restored Victorian Farmhouse

Beautifully restored but for my personal taste it is just bland. There is nothing to warm it up and draw you in.

Re: Restored Victorian Farmhouse

If anyone is interested in seeing a beautiful restored Victorian, 

decorated in an authentic Victorian style, check out the Silas W. Robbins House In Wethersfield, CT online.  

 

This place is a B+B, completely restored, which was featured in a Hallmark movie.  While I could not imagine myself living in such a formal setting, it’s lovely to see.

 

Of course, the Mark Twain House In Hartford, is also amazing.

Not to be missed, if you find yourself “in my neck of the woods.”

Re: Restored Victorian Farmhouse

Wow, where to begin!  First of all.... the outside of this home is outstanding. Love the color, gingerbread trims, and landscaping. Love the verse above the stove which my mother often spoke of and I also refer to quite often. 

 

 That fireplace is beautiful.  The way they did the "church chairs" instead of a "church pew" is unique.  I also love that they left some of the old doors and hardwear.  I could live here and be very happy!

The porch is my favorite thing about the house.

Re: Restored Victorian Farmhouse

I'm not a fan of Victorian homes but they did do a good job with the exterior.  A touch more color would certainly help.  I didn't care for the interior at all....mainly the lack of color.  Most rooms looked bare and unfinished (as in decor) to me.
