TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ORIGINAL FEATURES

Deborah Nelson October 10, 2015

When I bought 'The Woodbox', one of the many features I loved about the house was that it had so much original character and charm intact. The original house was built in 1844, and there have been various additions on the house since then. Regardless, this wooden door and hardware looks old to me and I suspect it's from the original house in 1844.

I also love the French doors, 32 panes of glass in each door!

The handle on the French doors is also lovely. I'm into warm metals, so this old brass handle has a natural aged finish that I love.

The fireplace in the living room has a huge firebox opening.  I was able to purchase the fireplace screen and the old tools from the original owners.  I'm thrilled that I now have these original features in my house!

I used a variety of antiques in this guest room - the bed, chair, blanket and artwork were all items I've collected over time.  I love how they add so much character to a room, the antique charcoal sketch above the bed is dated from the 1800’s

Open shelving is one of my favourite ways to display those items in your kitchen that are both functional and full of character, like cutting boards, dishes, glassware and even quirky bottle openers 📷: @samsonpix⁣
