Modern Victorian: 7 Ideas for Decorating Your Old Home in a New Way

We've officially moved out of our first home (sniff). The housing market here has picked up (for which, yay!), but because of that we sold our place more quickly than we could move into our next. Which means I am full of plans with nowhere to take action. I'm pinning like crazy, drawing up floor plans, and dreaming. Our new house is very, very different from the old. It has actual historical architecture for one, with wood that is in gorgeous condition, not cobbled together from leftover bits and pieces. So I'm looking for ideas as to how one lives modernly in a historical home. Modern Victorian, if you will. And since I can't show you how I'll be doing it just yet, I've sharing some of the interesting inspiration I've found. - By Nicole Balch
