Victorians




I was driving through my neighboring town today. There are a lot of Victorians here, some of them in wonderful condition and beautifully done, in keeping with their era. This is a classic example of well cared for and carefully thought out Victorian, revamped and restored for today. Love the colors, love the door, love the trellis under the porch, love the mission-style lantern. But what about that crazy pine. These twisted sister shrubs are very much in vogue and I think that this is one of the best uses of this evergreen that I have seen. It's a funky plant and it totally works in this environment. Above is a closeup of the lantern.
