Victorian home decor?
I just bought a house, and it is a Victorian. It has been modernized, but I would like to decorate it the way it might have been when it was built. The yard is generous, but bare. I’d also like to landscape it in a Victorian inspired manner as well.
What are some ideas for going about this? Is there any way I can research what the home would have looked like at the local library?

I am not sure about the research, but for the landscape I can suggest a brick patio with brick walkways. We bought a 1920′s Victorian last year and it has brick walkways and patios in the backyard, which are original…and it adds so much charm!
I own a Victorian and found several books at the local library pertaining to landscape, painting, and furniture that were very helpful.
