Our 1905 Historic Wonderland Home Reveal

Can you even believe it??? The home we coined Our Historic Wonderland is finally complete. Well, the construction is complete. My design vision is still just beginning BUT I can finally share the entire home we restored… from top to bottom. Wow what an incredible journey you guys have followed us on over the last year. As amazing as it is to be finished and actually living in our home, I am almost sad sometimes that the journey is over. It truly does not even seem that long ago when I posted that we had found the home and project of our dreams and that we would be selling the home that jumpstarted my blog. You all thought we had lost our minds. And I mean we kind of did too. But this house literally spoke to us from the moment we stepped into the front door on a freezing cold and pitch black Friday evening that November. From there our journey to creating Our Historic Wonderland began and you guys have supported us every single step of the way. I am still so excited to see where the interior design transformation will take me and I hope you will continue to follow along!

Here is one big ol’ tour of our post-construction home reveal and details on every single thing you could possibly ask about. So here’s a tiny little peek at where we began…

ABOUT

Hi, I'm  Brittany

Addison's Wonderland began in 2011 as everything that I dreamed of for my daughter's room. I wanted to create a dreamy wonderland for her full of colors, patterns and precious details. Once her room was complete, Addison's Wonderland was born.
