Victorian Beauties Tour-Part II

Good morning and welcome to Part II of our Victorian Beauties tour.

Today we will stroll down a street lined with Victorian homes.

Most of the homes on this street date to the late 19th century.

Almost all boast lovely turrets...


and some sparkle with colorful stained glass doors.


Couldn't resist taking a photo of the kiddie parking lot:).

Now comes the fun part:).

Two wonderful couples were kind enough to let me tour their homes (I am friends with one couple already and happened upon them having coffee when I was photographing:).

They have done a marvelous job in the restoration of their amazing Victorian.

Original door ringer and mail drop.

The pictures (above and below) are a gorgeous mural painted on the bathroom wall.

After touring this beautiful Victorian my friend surprised me with the news that her neighbor (who lives in my favorite house) was going to let me tour their home too!

I was beyond excited!!!

So here is my very favorite Victorian home downtown! I cannot afford to live in it but I do plan on haunting it someday:).

View from the swing on the front porch (yup, got to sit in the swing on the porch of my favorite house-I was loving it!!!)

Another view from the swing (ahhh...this is the life-tea please:).

The interior woodwork was beautiful!

The rest of the house was as amazing as the pictures but alas my carriage (or should I say pumpkin) awaited and it was time to come back down from my Victorian cloud.

Of course, I thanked my new friend graciously and then offered to be the house sitter and house keeper:).

Hey, I need to know my way around this place since I am going to haunt it someday-lol:).

Thanks again for joining me-it's always more fun with friends along!
