This Victorian home exudes comfortable elegance by blending elements of the past and present. A rustic farm table complements a sleek, subway-tiled backsplash in the kitchen, while muted wall colors throughout allow the natural wood tones to hint at the house’s history. Carefully selected antiques give the décor an added sense of personality, with each piece telling a story. A virtual tour through this home will leave you wishing you could pull up a seat and stay awhile.
A sturdy pine farmhouse table anchors the kitchen’s eat-in dining space. Simple pendant lights match the stainless appliances and reinforce clean lines. The glass-paned door lets in sunlight, and the windows are left unadorned to do the same. White accessories, such as canisters, utensil crocks, and a tureen, reinforce the pristine theme. Crisp-white cabinetry, marble countertops, and a backsplash of white enameled tile give the kitchen an always-spotless look. Glass-front cabinets show off collections of white dinnerware and cookware.
A soft blue-and-white color scheme runs throughout this open and airy home, visually enlarging the spaces and creating a peaceful ambiance throughout. The play of dark wood against the light blue walls creates a striking contrast. In the dining room, simple tab valances frame the windows without blocking light, and a Victorian-style chandelier underscores the home’s architectural design. An upholstered ottoman plays the role of coffee table in the living room, where the blue-and-white theme continues. Striped pillows provide a pop of color for the wood-framed sofa that rolls on casters for easy room rearrangement. A Roman shade at the window adds just the right note of adornment.
In the gabled bathroom, a vintage pie safe was turned into a lovely linen closet. In a variation on the blue theme, soft aqua bedding combines with ivory sheets to create a soothing scene in one bedroom, while an antique children’s crib and trunk add an old-fashioned touch in another. The bureau beneath the window features tiny curtained-off spaces for storage.
A subdued palette flows throughout the home and includes a scattering of blue-and-white porcelain and crockery collections in each room. Victorian-era furnishings reinforce the home’s charm.
