Renovated Factory Home
The Idea:
On the way to school one day, I had the idea for this house and quickly wrote it down in my phone. I said it’d be a large classic victorian house with a modern glass back.
Later, I sketched the floorplan both on my phone and on paper. I had decided to have a grand entrance hall with a dining room and bathroom to the left, and an office and guest room to the right. In the back would be the great room which would be open to the backyard and a tiered deck. Upstairs would be bedrooms and the master suite.
And as soon as I had the time I created the computer floorplan and started designing the interior.
The exterior shifted a little more towards looking like an old factory building than a victorian home, but I was okay with that. Classic brick walls with orderly windows completed the look. While the three story deck and quirky green front door kept a modern feel.
The Design:
I designed the interior with a classic color scheme, straight from Sherwan William’s “Early and Late Victorian” color family. And many of the rooms were inspired by photos I found on Pinterest.
The Plan:
If walls could dream… they’d dream of simple inspiration turning into stunning home design.
