I am in awe of people who have the knowledge, energy, and other resources to restore homes that look to me beyond repair. In my quest to find the best material on antique Victorian furniture, I came across a site put up by a couple named Craig and Yvonne, devoted to the restoration of their 1875 Eastlake Victorian home.
It’s one of the best sites of its kind that I’ve seen. It goes room by room with countless photos and has a great mouse-over feature that allows you to see many of the areas in their pre-restoration state.
The house has 38 Victorian doors, and we are treated to a step-by-step gallery of photos as one of the doors goes from bleak to beautiful. Hat’s off to these two, both for the incredible work they’ve done on their home and for the exceptional site they’ve built to share it with us.
As far as furniture goes, you’ll see some nice pieces in the reception hall and the dining room. I’d love to get more of their thoughts on furnishing the home now that they’ve done such an amazing job of restoration.
