Feature Friday: Our Victorian Italianate

Feature Friday: Our Victorian Italianate – Southern Hospitality Happy Friday, friends! Hope you’re ready for another fun weekend. I’ve got a great feature for you today. I met Ashley with Our Victorian Italianate on Instagram and she has a beautiful home that you’re really going to enjoy. It’s another historic home and so photogenic. Ashley has decorated it beautifully and it feels and looks so inviting and welcoming. She has a blog too, so check it out as well. I asked Ashley to tell me a bit about her and her husband, so here’s what she said about them and the house:Nate and Ashley have 4 children, ages 10, 8 and 5 year old twins. They purchased their 1858 Victorian Italianate in Missouri in October of 2015. Ashley started Instagram in 2016 to document the restoration. Their home is in a historic district and on the national register of historic places. After 18 months of renovation, they moved in with more work yet to be completed. The home is being renovated from top to bottom and the house sat empty for 7 years and on the market for 2. As many of the original features as possible were saved and restored and a new addition was built to replace the old, early 1900’s addition that was in poor condition. There are 3 original marble fireplaces in the home, original millwork, all original wood windows with wavy glass, original doors, knobs, and hardwood floors.
