Our 1906 Folk Victorian Farmhouse Renovation
In these posts, we highlight our renovation adventure where we restore and preserve our new 115 year old Folk Victorian Farmhouse built in 1906.
-
Current Kitchen Status – Outdated
Outdated appliances, outdated cabinetry, linoleum flooring, but so much potential. One of the most significant pieces of our renovation project is the kitchen.

Our Renovation Budget
Since we opted to finance the home on a conventional 15 year with no PMI instead of an all cash purchase, it gave us the opportunity to think creatively about the capital we have saved from the sale of our home in Nashville last December.
-
Picturesque
We’ll likely add a rod iron fence for our dogs, but much of the landscape around our home will remain the same.
-
Making a Grand Entrance
Hardwoods will remain, wallpaper will not, and popcorn ceilings have to go.

The Purchase Process
I wouldn’t go as far as stating that ‘buying’ the home should be the easier part, but if you’re buying a fixer upper, the purchase process should definitely be less involved than our home ended up being.
