Is there a link to the Victorian Homes magazine so we can see what it looks like currently? :)
I'm all for stripping wallpaper and doing colors. DO NOT PAINT THE WOODWORK. If the woodwork was terribly scarred, then fine, but if it's in good condition you'll give me a stroke if you paint it. If you have high ceilings and larger Victorian rooms, I've seen bolder colors look amazing with coupled with antiques and older-style furniture. A deep burgandy, for example, or even a golden yellow (like in a parlor or sunny room) look beautiferous!!!
Of course, I live in a tiny little cottage so I drool over any house that is old and Victorian :)
Strip the wallpaper, people hate it and it drastically diminishes your buying pool. I had to paint my red wall, taupe. Sigh, but the house did sell in the first two weeks, so I guess it was worth it.
I see they're painting most woodwork now (white). I actually prefer that, but I know it's painful to wood people. Transport your bathtub to me, k?
And I always want to rip something down when I should be writing. It's a way of escaping what I have to do. LOL
I stripped all the wallpaper from our house when we bought it. It was the first thing we and the realtor said when we bought. "Well, we'll have to strip a lot of wallpaper" We got really good at taking it down. I always thought of all of the previous owners money that we were throwing away. :0/
And I actually love wood painted white. I know...gasp...it's considered a sin to most but I love the look. :0/
Okay, wallpaper it is. I just can't paint the woodwork. It has all this detail in it and it's six inch wide red oak. I can't be responsible for destroying it that way.
I would hate to have to strip off wall paper we tried it once outselves, no experts and we made a mess had to put up new all board.
