Holy smokes – I was worried! Go check out this amazing photo transformation of a Victorian on Apartment Therapy.

After: admit it. You were worried when you saw that bit about ‘modernizing,’, right? Marie Clare and Peter have struck the perfect balance with a renovation that lightens and modernizes the space, while still remaining true to the home’s original character. Gone are the dark trim, the yellow walls, and the Victorian room divider, but it’s what they did keep that matters: the original tin ceiling, the crown molding, the fireplace, all speak to the home’s past.
