Carla always wanted an “Addams Family House,” and when this 1874 Victorian came on the market, she was discouraged to see that it was on “Millionaire’s Row,” in Danville, Virginia, but then she realized that a million was a lot less back then, so she and her husband were able to buy it.
This began a 15 yr., & counting, marathon restoration project. Carla didn’t want to keep the white paint on the outside and was eager to see what was underneath.
This was the front parlor in the 1880′s.
This is how they found it.
Carla cleaning it up- she said she doesn’t know what made her think she could take on a project this big.
The parlor under construction.
The elegant finished product.
This was the music room before.
The music room after.
The previous owners had remodeled the kitchen, but Carla wasn’t having it.
So, the kitchen was completely taken down to the studs.
And, look at how incredible it is, now.
The fridge and freezer were hidden in this exquisite cabinet.
The finished exterior. Magnificent. You can follow the project by clicking on the link below.

you commit to memory the childhood home, the fuzzy carpet, your great aunt's voice. you love and miss breakfast on a saturday morning, the sound of television in another room, your favorite bedsheets. you repeat your favorite day again and again your head.
