I am wanting to make my home look like an 1880′s Victorian/Texas home on a moderate budget. Help?

Restoration is indeed a task that requires time ,money, and a lot of research but at the end it all pays off , you can begin by finding , historic wall paper because in the era that was used in all of the homes, some also used fabric like tapestries to hang on walls , not only they served as art, but it also kept the homes warm in the Winter months, to save some money you can look into garage sales , Ebay, Estate sales, flea markets,
you don’t need to buy everything at once you know! when you are out keep an eye open for a good deal coming your way .
I will send you a few links as I find them
