Question by Carrie: I need help creating a “modern” victorian Master bedroom feel…? I just redid my entire master bedroom and something is not right… My husband and I bought a gorgeous burgandy comforter with matchng curtains, all of which have big gold flowers on them with olive/ sage green leaves.

Question by soretroismoi: an old fireplace….please help? I have discovered that as i live in a victorian property that is highly likely that we have a chimney so i will be able to have a real fire; we have many features a chimney breast, chimney pots and in another room we have a fully working one.

This is what it looks like right now: http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6929/87224562uh9.jpg It’s made out of cardboard. It obviously looks terrible and I can’t come up with any ways to fix it up to look more Victorian. :( I have until Wednesday to finish it and I’m calling out for help.

Also, does anyone know where I can find Victorian furniture pieces? You know, a Victorian style bed, couch, chair,...
