Victorian Home Refreshed With Bright Colors, Fun Art
Bright colors, bold patterns and playful art update this Victorian home for a new family. Still, the 2to5 Design team didn't want to stray too far from the past, so they preserved the home's crown molding and wood bannisters, as well as installed a reproduction of an original window. In turn, the home feels fresh yet full of character.
