Victorian Houses


Purple is popular
Originally uploaded by High Fidelity
All I ever did as a young chubby girl was look out the window on car rides or read science fiction books. Everytime, I would see a Victorian house, I wanted to be in one and/or live in one. Something about the structure and it's architecture touched me. They are so pretty and mysterious. I like that feeling. It's the same feeling whenever I see a pretty cemetary. Something so peaceful.

I would love to own one someday. I will totally house all my friends and I will definitely color it purple with mustard accents. I would love to chill on the wraparound porch.

It's my dream home ever since I was little.

There are different varieties of Victorian homes.
I'd say my faves are gothic revivial, Jacobian, Italianate, and Renaissance revival.

I mean they are all beautiful, even the "gingerbread" ones.

Did I ever tell you that I'm from a Victorian Village? Seriously....I grew up in a victorian village called Round Lake. My house is purple and light green.....it used to be blue and pink til my mother repainted it a couple years ago. You can come visit any time!
