Feature Home: A Classic Beauty in Victoria

Two weeks ago I posted a feature home that was an incredible contemporary house in Victoria. This time, we have another Victorian home but with a very different style.

Beautiful, isn't it? I'm developing quite a fondness for traditional red brick cottages at the moment so this caught my eye straight away.

Looking along the verandah some features that immediately catch my eye include the tongue and groove ceiling and that incredible floor!

One of the reasons this home captured my attention was the beautiful contrast between the dark, low-sheen floors and the creamy white walls. It is one of my favourite combinations and makes even a simple room seem glamorous and sophisticated.

But, who would be looking at the floor with that incredible glass window above? I also love the contrast the contemporary abstract provides against the traditional architecture.

 Simple furniture but don't you love that high, high skirting and beautiful arched nook?

More neutrals in the bedroom but it feels comfortable and luxurious thanks to the use of timber, dark tones and soft textiles. Beautiful windows too, although personally I would love to see some simple white curtains framing the window and bed. Do you agree?

A more contemporary space here with an interesting contrast between the traditional features and the modern, almost Asian style bed.

I think it's a shame those white shelves aren't built-in to match the cupboard on the right - it would give the room a more seamless look.

A simple white contemporary kitchen, yet it doesn't feel out of place in the traditional due to the timber benchtops.

Looking back toward the dining room. I think this space would be incredible for entertaining thanks to all those beautiful windows. Here's a photo for those who don't like split system air-conditioners; keeping the walls neutral and creating eye-catching features elsewhere, means you don't even notice it.

A simple contemporary bathroom that will work with any style thanks to an all-white finish. I like the natural touch added by the baskets under the vanity.
